Mass Effect 2
You just had to do it to me didn't you.
Sorry Cap, I couldn't resist.
I'm heading down to pick up a copy on my lunch hour, hoping to grab a Colelctor's Edition. I know they are sold out everywhere, but they said the same thing for DA:O but I manged to snag one of those so I'm still hoping.
can you let us know how the Importing from your last game works?
Looking forward to cracking it open toni…damn, I'm working OT. Guess it'll have to wait till tomorrow.
Woo hoo! Picked up a copy of the CE at lunch. Had to go to five shops to find it, but I got one eventually.

Hey, with a little luck, that OT will pay for the game. Haha.
At least you don't have a mom who works nights at an airport where she may not get home till 4AM. Yup.

If you must include spoilers, please sblock them. Thanks.
That being said, I've beaten the game twice, infiltrator and adept, and am now playing through as a soldier.

Mordin dying isn't a chance. It happens if you only have a bunch of squishies holding back the line. If you do the exact same thing twice, he'll die again. To avoid this, just have him escort the crew back.
"Go for the optics, chichika, go for the optics!" :D
I caught that reference since I tend to have Tali use the combat drone as a distraction. Anyone heard Mordin sing his version of the Major General song?
Just saw it last night. Not as funny as some of Garrus' one-liners, but it still made me laugh.
Wow. Just wow. What a game. This thing is so good it makes me want to get a job working on ME3.
I concur, though I did rather dread scanning planets for resources (usually takes me more then 10 minutes to find all the best resource spikes).
Spoilerrific details
A few key points that I'm sure will carry over into ME3:
Tali: My romance option, partially because I don't trust Miranda and I've been with enough crazy chicks to know to stay the hell away from Jack. But mostly chose her because there's some character history from ME1 and she's actually a pretty well thought out character. Imagine that! Square/Enix could stand to learn a few things from Bioware.
Anyways I got her off on the "treason" charges without needing to tell the Migrant Fleet about her father's experiments. I however did not tell the Quarians one way or the other about going to war. Kinda want to let them sort that out on their own. Besides I've killed enough geth at this point that I could probably retake their home world for them.
Used Tali as my tech expert. Actually I used her in most missions because her Combat Drone is one of the best enemy distractions in the game.
Legion: I hate that you get him so late in the game as he's just a really interesting character (the one piece of advice I got from a friend was to save the IFF quest for last). Love the fact that he "idolizes" Shepard.
Anyways I blew up the geth base. Makes me wonder if I should go back and tell the Quarians to go to war since I did half their work for them.
Mordin: Told him to keep the genophage cure research "just in case." Had him escort the crew back and he survived just fine. I never used him in combat except for his loyalty mission.
Samara: Killed Morinth. The most useful biotic in the game in my opinion. Once I got her I never used Miranda or Jack again.
Kasumi (DLC): Cool character and her loyalty quest is pretty interesting. I didn't use her much though. I think I had her keep the memories, but I don't think it really matters. Pity she's not a romance option. Also a shame that none of the other characters seemed to interact with her.
Ending "teams":
Tech specialist: Tali
Biotic: Jack (I was using Samara nearly all the time now)
Fire Team 1: Jacob
Fire Team 2: Garrus
Escort: Mordin
I finished the game with everyone's loyalty complete and didn't lose a single member of the party or the Normandy crew. Chose to blow up the Collector Base.
