~Di Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Backing up a bit... is it true that there isn't a "no helmet" option??? Argghhhhhh.... You can choose not to wear a helmet but you lose one armor bonus if you do. It's no big deal though. Most of the stuff the helmets gives are things like 5% health or the like. Most of the time I personally never even show myself once the shield fails since health can go down very quickly and it's annoying to reload. Actually ~Di's right to fear. You can only customize normal armours. For the DLC armours (Collector Armour, Inferno Armour, Blood Dragon Armour, Terminus Armour), you're pretty much stuck with as is...helmet and all. On the bright side, LEDs on your helmet light up every time you speak Transformers style, and you also sound like you're speaking through a synthesizer. Oh, noes! *facepalm* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell Kitty Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Hm, and I seem to have had a small glitch in the whole carry over saved games... Conrad Verner turned up and played out as if I'd used the Renegade option on him in my ME1 saved game.. which I hadn't... Since I reran ME1 about 3 weeks ago in a fairly paragon way to have my level 60 Shep all ready to go.. my memory wasn't that bad .Everything else I've encountered has been spot on.. so now I'm pondering if something glitched that .. I just found Conrad and have the same issue. I handled him as a paragon but he's talking about what a big jerk I was and how I shoved a gun in his face.

EDIT: Also Mining is incredibly boring. yep, I totally agree. It'd make more sense if there was a sort of "these are the general locations that you might want to look" and then have to comb through those areas or something. But just having to sit there and go over every inch of the planet so slowly is stupid. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

Wrath of Dagon Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Someone said there's a way to scan quickly until you get a blip, then you search slowly in that location, but he was on the 360.

jaguars4ever Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Would having sex with SuZe ruin my chances of sex with Tali if I haven't yet picked her up? What about Kelly or Miranda? These are *deep* choices & consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volourn Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I actually like the mining,a dn even the mini games are growing on me. Still, I dunno why they completely got rid of omni gel. I thought that was a cool concept. ME2 would be a MUCH better game if they didn't dumb it down for PC gamers. When ME1 was being designed with the 360 in mind, it actually had dialogue skillz but the PC guys ruined it. Same with lockpicking and the like. If it wasn't for space exploration, and the characters, ME2 would be an average game as its combat is a semi fun dumbe ddown version of ME1 combat.

I want teh kotor 3 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Sorry Ashley... You're out... Heelllooo Miranda... Also, Mordin is epic... Grunt, on the other hand, not so much... He's a wanna-be... SuZe is a little freaky... And Jacob may be the blandest character in the history of gaming... The random marines in Halo have more of a personality...

GreasyDogMeat Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 INVESTIGATE, dammit! I've noticed she has some fantastic... assets. They really should have fixed the resource gathering. There needs to be another upgrade to speed it up even faster. Better yet, when in scan mode the planets need a 'fog of war'. Light up locations you have scanned so you can tell what you have done. You can take a methodic approach and start at the top, working your way down or whatever... but its sooo boring. Pretty much my biggest complaint about this otherwise fantastic game.

GreasyDogMeat Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Another way of reducing the monotony of resource gathering would be the ability to trade resources. It obviously wouldn't/shouldn't be a 1:1 ratio, as Iridium is everywhere, Palladium is fairly common, Platinum is fairly rare and Dark Energy is very rare. I'd love to be able to trade some of my massive stockpiles of Iridium for Platinum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaguars4ever Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 (edited) Make sure you install the DLCs. In my opinion, it gave me the best assault rifle and sniper rifle in the game. My solider is loving it. My only regret is that I didn't buy from Gamespot, because then I would have had that awesome heavy weapon gravity gun. Ah well, for heavy weps, there's none better than the Nuke Launcher. Edited January 30, 2010 by jaguars4ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to be able to trade some of my massive stockpiles of Iridium for Platinum. That's odd. Just by scanning everything in the cluster you start off in, I found more Platinum than anything else-- probably 30% more of that than of Iridium or Palladium. Edit: I am also both happy and disappointed that this worked to reduce load times. Edited January 30, 2010 by Enoch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
