Gromnir Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 (edited) "You need resources for upgrades." 100% optional. yes, and as the planet scanning is optional, it is perfectly acceptable for such a feature to be repetitive, tedious, and uninspired. heck, the loyalty missions is optional too... am surprised the biowarians put any effort into them at all as the status of such material as optional relegates such stuff to relative non-importance. ... 'course vol mighta' been simply talking nonsense... again. HA! Good Fun!

'course vol mighta' been simply talking nonsense... again." Not everyone hates the mining. Repetive: Like the combat? The dialogue? ALL games are repetive. poor argument. Tedius? Nah. tedius assumes you go out of your way to do it for 5 hour straight. Uninspired: Not as unispired as the dumbed down combat and character system is. Out of the list of thinsg to whine over ME2 about, the solid planet scanning is right near the bottom. L0LZ Now, then dumbed down combat and characetr system is a different story and you can'ty avoid that at all. Planet scamming is a nice pattern when you just want to relax inbetween missions or having to play peek-a-boo. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Kaftan Barlast Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I just spend a while collecting info about all the N7 missions, if you want to play them without looking through every damn planet in the galaxy.

Simply visit a planet and if there is a mission to find EDI will immediately say 'anomaly detected'. Once I had upgraded everything I simply visited a planet and immediately left so I could unlock 100% and check if there were any extra side missions.

GreasyDogMeat Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I really like the new % system. I remember frequently forgetting which system/planets I had visited in the original. Then new systems/planets would become available further in the story and I practically needed a notepad to remember places I had been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
