I finished the game and managed to get out without casualties. Chose Tali as tech expert, Samara as biotics expert + Miranda as first team leader, then Garrus to lead the second team & Jacob for escort service. I took along Mordin & Legion for the grande finale... I got a bit worried when Legion went slipping down a ramp after the whole mess got sorted out, but he made it after all. Also, the end boss reminded me of a certain boss from God of War.

I can think of two good remakes: Prince of Persia Classic & Tomb Raider Anniversary. They were good because they tried to stick to the originals as close as possible.

That's a pity. I was hoping to scout around with Legion much more than just his loyalty mission.

If one does the IFF mission as soon as it becomes available, does the game 'wait' until all other N7/Recruitment/Loyalty missions are finished?

Magic is so powerful that enemy mages even manage to kill themselves by casting Fireball at point blank range.

Is it even possible to fail Bucktooth's & Jacob's loyalty quest? I'm going to try having them die horribly in my Paragon replay.

Blasto?

My characters have always romanced Leliana and hence have no problem. Save for my first character... that one had to become queen.

I've acquired all armor/shield/omnitool upgrades & weapon upgrades, save for the last few shotgun upgrades. I wish it would be possible to trade in resources for cash. I have more than 200,000 in everything (save element zero) with no use whatsoever.

Are there enough credits in the game to acquire all upgrades? I'm pretty sure I've done all N7 missions & named planet side-missions, but I'm about to get to IFF and Shepard's broke. Not sure whether there'll be more side-missions after IFF... highly doubt it.

Baldur's Gate in name only? No wait, that doesn't even work.

How does one get Legion? I surmized I would get him in the IFF mission...

Quarians? Asari?? No, no, no, no, no... by the Maker Enkindlers give us Blasto

And here was I thinking Oni was steampunk.

Yo Irenicus, I'm real happy for you and I'ma let you finish, but Melissan was the best Bio villain of all time!!!

Tali's loyalty quest was cool. I was supposed to be playing Renegade, but just couldn't act like an ass in that case. I have the impression that some of the dialogue between FemShep & Tali was reycled from MaleShep's 'romance' dialogue. Is it certain Tali isn't romancable for a FemShep? For instance, she talked about

"I love the look of mushroom clouds in the morning".

Jack stopped talking to my FemShep after asserting that she wasn't into girls. I can still start a conversation with her, but each time it's the same "I'm done talking". Maybe it depends how one wrapped up her loyalty quest. I should've picked up Tali earlier. I did a lot of missions with her lately just to hear her say "Go for the optics!" when she summons her orb thingie. Sadly yesterday my PC seemingly went to **** just as I was about to go fetch the IFF.

I think a Krogan horde, combined with a Rachni horde, and possibly a Geth horde, would be the perfect remedy against a Reaper invasion. It would be excellent if a Shepard that played through ME1 & ME2 full Renegade, would be unable to defeat the Reapers because of certain unfortunate decisions.

Maybe if she weren't still butthurt about the Geth. The Quarians are the Dalish Elves of Mass Effect. The krogans got hit much harder with the genophage, and instead of complaining they actually try to do something, i.e. kill as many scalies/Turians as possible.

Well, Tali takes the crown for drama queen. Even more than in ME1. I don't like speaking to Thane because of his annoying "visions" & metaphysical claptrap, but he rips through everything during missions. Teamed with Garrus, it's just silly.

Except your character frame skips through the entire game.

On another note, while Thane is the second most awesome character in the game (after Garrus), the romance isn't very well done. My FemShep was having a perfectly normal conversation with him, and suddenly an option "I want you, Thane" appeared out of thin air. Pretty hilarious.

I don't like what they did to Tali. Why did she have to come with Combat Drone instead of Overload? That stupid orb usually floats for about 5 seconds before it gets destroyed.

I'm using the Viper (fully upgraded). With level 4 Adrenaline Rush I can simply queue up several headshots with relative impunity... it takes down everything really quick. But still, the Vindicator battle rifle seemed to kill all mooks just as fast with one or two bursts directed at the head.
