Yeah, I'm getting pretty excited about it.  I need to go put it on reserve here pretty soon.  I just played through Mass Effect for the second time about a month back in anticipation for the sequel.  Definitely a great game.  It'll be interesting to see how the rest of the story plays out.

Would have preferred to have the game over Christmas break though rather than the start of a new semester... -_-

But, I'm sure I'll find a way to juggle it all.

What class did you guys play?  I played as a biotic specialist... it was difficult at first, but eventually I ended up absolutely destroying everything in my path.  I'm not sure what I'll play as in the sequel, I haven't read much about the new classes.  Guess I've kinda been avoiding reading up on the game too much as well.

Here's a video special from IGN entitled "Mass Effect in 5 Minutes".

Might help to watch this if you haven't played Mass Effect or if it's been a long time...

If you plan on playing Mass Effect 1 first, then don't watch the video!  Lots of spoilers.

I just beat it a little bit ago.

I wasn't racing through the game or anything either.  I took my time gaining every characters loyalty, gathering resources, completing side quests, etc.  I couldn't pry myself away from this game.

:nonono: ...I have a lot of homework to catch up on.

Technically, it's not ammo.  You pick up "thermal clips" to pop into your gun to prevent overheating.  It's Geth technology that apparently the rest of the universe adopted between the events of Mass Effect 1 and Mass Effect 2.  It does however function exactly like ammo.

If you are using a sniper rifle, then you will find sniper rifle clips when you kill an enemy, if you are using a heavy pistol, then you'll find heavy pistol clips, etc.  The only "ammo" that's somewhat difficult to find is for the heavy weapons.  Which is a good thing otherwise the game wouldn't be much of a challenge.

The type of bullets you shoot actually depends on where you allocate your points as you level up.  I didn't play a soldier class, so I didn't have access to different types of rounds.  But the more weapon oriented classes can choose from a few different types of ammo to specialize in as you level.

This system seemed a little weird at first, but I understand why it was implemented.  I just switched back and forth between the sniper rifle and the submachine gun and I never had to worry about ammo.

Being an adept was awesome.  That's the same class I played.  I focused on singularity, warp, throw, and slam.  It's fun finding different combinations to use against your enemies.  For example, hitting them with a singularity field so 2 or 3 of them become locked in place hovering in the air, then using "throw" and watching them all go flying and bouncing off the walls to their doom.

It's cool too how if an enemy is behind cover you can keep him targeted, but aim above him, or to the side of him, and the biotic power will curve into him.  It's kind of hard to explain, but if you get good at it, it makes cover practically useless for the enemy.

Nope, you can choose whatever class you want.

Yeah, SMGs and heavy pistols.  Eventually, the adept class has the opportunity to unlock another weapon type for use (shotgun, assault rifle, or sniper rifle).  I opted for the sniper rifle.  Shotgun could have worked well too though, especially in situations where enemies would get too close while I was waiting for the cool down timer to expire on my biotic abilities.

I also wish I could Import my ME2 character and change his class. My reason being that I worked hard at getting as many paragon points as possible and now I can't take advantage of that unless I want to play through as the same class.





Yeah, I don't understand why they don't let you change your class.  It'd be a nice little incentive to keep playing after you've beaten the game already.

I had sex with Jack, then Miranda.  I tried to go for Tali too, mostly because I was curious to see what a Quarian looks like without a mask, but I got shut down.

Tali:
So, Do you really love me then?  Just me and nobody else?

Shepard:
Yes, Tali... I'm not interested in anybody but you.

Tali:
Oh.. Ok, well why don't you go tell that to Miranda then.

end of conversation.

:facepalm:

Oh well.  I read afterward you don't even get to see her face anyway.

No way... Really?

I didn't think it was possible to have "relations" with Samara.
