Deraldin Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 "But they were incredibly boring and no one ever did them more than once. It's just silly to take those into account and not other quests. " I love it when people whine about potential C&C in RPGs. Just because you chose not tom follow throguh in comp0leting these quests doesn't mean others whom did should suffer. Just like in RL, those who put in extra effort are often rewarded. Additional C&C - even for relatively minor things - is a good thing. Period. The people who did the quest have already suffered. Nothing Bioware does now could possibly be worse than hunting the galaxy to find all the stupid collectible quest items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithe Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Maybe if you collected all the Prothean Data Discs you get some info ont he Collector's you wouldn't have had otherwise? It would be nice to not have spent all that time without getting some actual data.. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

Enoch Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Ideal result: Having collected lots of stuff in ME1 gives you a headstart on collecting stuff (for crafting purposes) in ME2. (E.g., the benefits of XX% of the stuff you collected in ME1 will carry over so that you can use them for whatever research & crafting ME2 is set up to support.) I typically farm a few star clusters early on in the game for the easy to get "just click survey" minerals to build up some cash. And later on, I'll survey planetside minerals if I happen to be driving relatively close to them to get somewhere. This has gotten me about 75% of the way "complete" for most of the mineral groups without feeling like a completionist drone. Hopefully whatever carries over isn't just a binary "quest completed or not" and the results I've gotten so far will have some payoff in the sequel.

Maria Caliban Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I doubt it will be 'something major.' Part of me want to wait for ME 2 to come out, get a list of the various choices that actually matter and THEN play ME 1. "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sad part with those quests is that they are pretty good experience and really good money. Unfortunately money is basically worthless in this game (if you don't have Pinnacle Station), since the problem with the really good stuff isn't that it's expensive, but that if you want it, you need to hammer reload 1687 times due to the stupid randomness of the stores. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though by the time you get spectre X stuff, you propably have about 10 million credits. The money system is likely the strangest I have seen, you get huge amounts of credits from the oddest things. I hope there'll be a chance to catch up with Baatorian Bad Boy if you spared him in Mass 1. And if you torture him, you get some important info. Remains to be seen will DLC choices affect ME2.

Oner Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I doubt it will be 'something major.'Well, considering that half of your total (/sidequesting) playtime is the mineral searching, it wouldn't be bad if it made a big difference.

entrerix Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 im a little late to the male female char select party, but i almost always pick a female character for 2 very real reasons 1. i feel women in action roles are under-represented (barring a few roles like Lt. Ellen Ripley or Sarah Connor) so i like to choose a female char to appease the liberal feminist pc in me 2. if im gonna stare at someones ass for 50 hours, it better be the ass of a hot chick. to appease the non-pc hypermasculine in me I explained this to my gf once and she agreed with my logic on both counts. Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.

Something really rubs me the wrong way in Bio's trailers these days for some unknown reason. Maybe 'cause the setup is that you're interviewing them and seemingly both the news channel and the interviewee (this word actually exists, I'm shocked) decided beforehand on the questions and answers you don't give a **** about? And you hate the interviewed person. And your boss too.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Much better than Bastila 2.0 This I have to agree with. What I want is for Legion to be a joinable NPC. Wait, is he?

Pop Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 What I want is for Legion to be a joinable NPC. Wait, is he? That could be amazing. Well, there are 10 joinable NPCs. Conversely there are 9 achievements for recruiting and 1 achievement for "acquiring Geth technology". Make of that what you will. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
