    Hey for those that finished the game. Did you end up using the Terminus armor the whole way? I'm starting to find combinations that seem to fit better, but the terminus stats are pretty awesome. Also, was your primary upgrade material gathered from planet hopping or are there other better ways to earn material?

    Tried starting my New Game + by loading my ME2 character it freezes after the first Lazarus load screen. Checked the Bioware boards and it's a common problem. Awesome. No way for me to do New Game + until a patch is released.

    This game is a level beyond addicting.

    Also, just had the conversation between
    Tali and Garrus when you bring them to the Citadel, where they talk about the old elevator rides from the first game...
    I haven't laughed like that from a game in a while.

    I"m not gonna lie....I played for a couple of hours and while I love it, I really miss my old crew. Tali, Garrus, Liara, Ashley and Wrex. Maybe the new guys will grow on me, but damn it I want my old friends to be watching my back.

    Can I get any of them back?

    Yep, you can get Garrus and Tali. Garrus you can get really early on, Tali about half through the game

    I'm looking forward to see what kind of results my renegade Shepard made in ME1 will have in ME2.

    Daaaaaaammmmmmnnnnnn!! I just finished this, what a f'in ride.

    My first play through was as my Paragon-Infiltrator-Male Shepard imported from ME1. To carry the same character and choices through both games (and hopefully into the third) is such an epic idea.

    I love this game.

    I really like the new crew too. In fact I'd say I prefer most of them over the old lot. My favourites of the new crew (tagged for those who don't want to see names)
    Jack, Thane and Legion
    mainly for their personalities.

    Now to be a complete bastard on my next playthrough.

    Just switched off my gaming PC to discourage me from playing it to silly hours. Not a fan of the gameplay changes, but its a small price to pay for all the awesome.

    I've picked up
    Garrus, the Salarian dude, the DLC mercanary and the girl who wandered in from the Riddick game being made in the studio next door
    . Will be strait off to get
    the Krogan
    when I get back from the factory tommorow.

    Not much for a couple of days, but i've been doing the sidequests and farming mineral swag to get all the upgrades and research available so far.

    As pathetic as it sounds, my biggest moral dilema so far is deciding whether to
    knob Miranda if the oppertunity comes up when Ashley is still alive somewhere

    Is Wrex in the game? Does he make an appearance at all?

    Oh don't worry about that, it'll handle itself. You'll see.

    Edit:
    But Bioware hinted that being unfaithful to your first love will have dire consequences in ME3...

    Just got a Dr. Pepper prize. You get to choose which game to get an item in. Got a visor that increases shields. Nothing fancy but it looks cool.

    Though the love scene looked rushed, romancing with
    Tali
    was real fun.

    Darn, that motivates me to play ME1 again where
    Liara is the one that got away and Tali is my true romance in ME2. Then again who knows what the future holds in ME3. Hope the writers don't do something bad to Tali (die of infection) like what was done to Liara so that the option is open to romance with who will be available in ME3.

    Heres the one ONE rule with any romance: Save Often. So far I got my romance with
    Tali
    and i intend to keep it. I had Liara on a few save files but hell she went to royal bitch real fast in the 2 years (yeah and im reading the comic to see what happened). Thankfully I have several save file from the first game that i can import after beating ME2 and enjoy all aspects of the game.

    Is it me or do the heavy weapons in this game not seem to be very heavy? I find that I can deliver more damage downrange with my assault rifle than a few well placed shots with any heavy weapon.

    The shotgun seems to work at very close range, but other than that, I agree with your assessment.
