Bioshock set it's sights a little differently (1920s in its artistic style, although the Randian philosophical stuff didn't really emerge until she formed her little cult later on), but the core is that a vision of the future that was trendy at one point in history came true and then went bad.

I mean ME had it, DA had it, JE had it, KotOR had it... No F/F according to the devs, people hoped for Samara action(Asari not considered female by the devs ). But the game files seem to indicate that Samara is not an option. Not an option for the females that is. For us guys, it's a matter of gotta shag 'em all! Mass Effect 3 will take place 20+ years after Mass Effect 2. The entire party will be composed of Shepard's half-alien children. Each will have their own special talents based on which half-alien species they are. EDIT: Enoch said: I think the main commonality is the idea of retro-future gone horribly wrong.

Thanks. That clears things up a bit. Edited January 25, 2010 by Deraldin

jaguars4ever Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Which is good thing since Turians kind of look like District 9 prawns.

I know you are joking, but you know, they might actually go something along that route... Reveal hidden contents Shepard can supposedly die at the end of ME2 and it will be considered an (possible) official ending in ME3. Playing as Shep's son/daughter in ME3 would allow both a survivor and death ending without the added work of creating seperate dialog for Shepard/Shep's replacement. That or maybe they'll just clone Shep if he dies in ME2.
HoonDing Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 I'm sure FemShep will receive adequate compensation for the lack of F/F action with a Thane/Garrus/Grunt foursome. "The best thing about a suicide mission is how it brings species together". The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
jaguars4ever Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 So does anyone here know for sure which save file we import: the autosave, the highest number save, or the char# save?

It's the char# save. All you have to do is run the ME2 configuration utility and point it to the folder containing your ME1 saves. It'll do the rest.

Both games had architecture heavly influenced by Art Deco. So I guess it could be that.
RPGmasterBoo Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) Quote Boo you are no better with BG2 than Volo is with NWN. This is a farce. He constantly follows me around like a familiar, making a point of contradicting everything I say (even when it makes no sense to do so, and even in the "way off topic" forum). I wasn't even addressing him on the post he responded to. I dunno why this fixation (perhaps he wants to do a dwarf on me [DA]), but its becoming slightly irritating, so don't jump on my back if I respond once in a while.

HoonDing Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 How good will the Blood Dragon Armour in ME 2 be? In DA:O it was pretty much the best heavy armour of the game with all the boni it provided... but it took a while before one could wear it. Does ME 2 have any requirements to be able to wear armour?
