I dont get why they are making it free. Isnt this the shit that you got if you preordered? Why would anyone preorder the game then? Arent those ppl kinda getting screwed? (Not that Im complaining about the chance to get the stuff.)
Is it me or has liara turned into an obsessed crazy bitch?
In 2 years she went from nerdy archeologist to shadowbroker assassin. The hell!
Sooo can i dump her in some way and get it on with tali?
Yeah that change wasnt really believable. And WTF didnt know there was a comic about all this
BTW on her mission when you have to
Spoiler:
choose the right alien to go after there is no "right" one correct?
Liara mission:
Spoiler:
Yes there is, find the 5 logs and choose "It doesn't add up" or something like that and she will understand that the observer is her assistant and will kill her. The observer is a "she" and all the other aliens are a "he".

You can find a Geth assault rifle on New Haven or what that colony name was, first Collector combat encounter, related to the main story.
Spoiler:
I think I missed that one Yea I still had the burst fire one. BUT I just entered Omega4 and at the beginning you get to choose 1 of 3 advanced weapons, MG, SNiper or shotty, yay
Yeah it's easy to miss equipment if you don't explore around, sometimes you can't go back either, unsure how much I've missed due to that but probably a weapon or armor piece and the usual credits from hacking stuff and resource materials.
Also got my EA order processed so I have access to Cerberus now, actual website isn't available yet though so I can't get any additional content.
(US release date is tomorrow, will have to try then.)
EDIT: Also this guy asked me out (Or atleast it seemed like that.) but he seems to have gone crazy.

So is there a limit to the number of people you can recruit? Because if you include the merc type guy that's going to be available in the dlc you can download, there aren't enough slots for all possible party members. Unless it updates when you install the DLC and you get another slot.
NO LINKS TO ILLEGAL STUFF IN SIGS - DLC IS ILLEGAL TOO

It's obviously a mistake atleast as far as the preorder bonuses and CE bonuses are concerned, but the "free" DLC is the usual BS from EA, i.e. "DLFCWWAMBCFTGIOTOIFFFA aka Downloadable Free content which we already made but cut from the game in order to offer it free for free advertisement"
Still playing after several day, tho i'm trying to hold it a bit.. and see if the dlc armors will be available soon
I'm pretty much in a love & hate relationship with this game - i can't believe how much i like it at some parts.. and how lame it is in others..
The good:
As i said earlier..The graphics are good, the atmosphere is great. Nice vibrant textures and visuals, nice shadows, flares and such. Each world you visit has it's distinct architecture and style.
I love walking around and looking at places. I also had tons of great moments just listening to the various npcs - guys just shopping or gossiping Some of them are truly hilarious. Also there are great thing shepard can do in some places - (alcohol ftw ) Those things really bring something to the overall experience and atmosphere.
I find the new paragon/renegade interesting. It's not black and white anymore - like in the 1st part - now you can be a paragon asshole Also there are consequences for those acts..
I am also amazed how much info the game takes from the imported saves - receiving mails or even meeting with old characters (rachni ftw)
The music is not bad with some nice tracks, but some are mediocre.
I think that the cities are bigger now, with much more places to explore. Those places could use more npcs- walking around, not just standing tho. I also like the new Normandy better, it's also more organized and easy to reach vital places. The upgrades system is nice as well.
The voice-overs are plain solid. Great dialogs - i never quit a conversation before going through every topic.
Also, yay for more companions, Good thing i don't have to walk with someone the entire game to make him like me - all it takes is to talk regularly to them - so now i can switch them each mission.
I like the minigames, hm i find them easy... i have yet to fail one
Also.. you can have your own space hamster... what better than this ?
Now the bad & ugly:
With those things.. it's like i'm playing a different game... very stripped and limited.
The items - i always thought that a sequel must better the original.. how wrong.
The items selection is terrible.. armors and firearms... almost non -existent. There is no inventory, no item mods, no overheating. I hope the preorder dlc will be cracked soon - because after 20 hours i have about 3 options for each bodypieace..
Also what's with the no helmet option missing - Why they couldn't use the Dragon Age way of handling dialogs - with auto helm off.
You can't even customize your teammates... In the first game you could look like a heavy armored team ready to walk into space - all with helmets and various weapons - no such thing here..
Next - skills... dumbed down to Hell. You can learn extra skill.. so it's bearable - but companions , dear god.. 4 skills. Almost every char has the same biotic & weapon skill mix - Total homogenization. Also the previous game's weapons mods are now skills ? lol....
There is also no trace of weapon stats.. No way knowing which weapon does what damage.. but i guess it's ok - console players won't mind it much.. Also no weapon quick keys so i must constantly have 2 weapons on cycle with X. Again - consolies won't mind that.
Also the highest difficulty levels - are just made to be played with soldiers & infiltrators - every enemy has shields, armor and health -biotics plain suck there. Also (again..) vanguard class blows badly...
The game is way to relient to cover user - i hated Gears of War because of that crap.Sometimes just running back sticks you into cover - even if you don't want to.
Also, there is no crouch button for extra accuracy - i guess console players are ok with that - it's extra button...
The combat missions layout is terrible - straight A to B, no alternate routes - almost zero extra places to visit.
Aside combat- i find the scanning planets boring like hell, - almost never fully deplete a planet - and in the first part i liked the exploration - it was more fun that that...
i just can't believe how washed all those things are - compared to the previous game.. I somewhat i'm willing to blame multi-platforming here..
So.. it's like 2 games in 1 for me.. A great one and a mediocre one.
Per aspera ad astra

It was obviously a mistake as it's no longer available
the official website states that we are actually able to buy the Cerberus network access code legally, but seems like its not available yet.
any news of it like its availability? and whether we can actually use these codes on the razor1911 release?
Oh yes please, would be a blast if they did it in UE3. And with familiar voices. But if they hand it out to Hollywood...
Why ruin a perfectly great franchise with a mediocre movie. In the end its probably gonna be an Uwe Boll movie with Stephen Dorff and Jean Claude Van Damme.

I know, wouldnt like motion picture, rather CGI with familiar voices. I doubt BioWare would do that. If they make Hollywood film I would too be disappointed
WHYYY, why did my Mordin die?!WTF?!I've bought all upgrades, i've done reasonable choices on the crew selection at the end-tali opened the doors, the bunnyteeth girl commanded squad 2 times(she's a tactic ffs), garrus got the crew to safety without casualties.
I hate Bioware. Now i cannot talk to a hamster on coffee....Though i'll still be replaying...After i get ME1 done my way.All 10 crew members were loyal..ffs
Maybe someone would be able to help me?
No, we have no bears on the streets here in Russia.
Well...Guess i'll just have to complete the final mission again-maybe something glitched.
Thanks god bioware gave an option to recomplete recent completed missions.

I had mordin die randomly too.
Nooo idea why. I had everyone loyal, had all upgrades etc. He just died offscreen right at the end. There must be something that causes it.

I had one guy die at the end, too.
Spoiler:
It was Thane, had him as loyal but he took a rocket to the head in the first stage of the assault figured he'd be happy to go out like that, though, being terminally ill and all. *shrug*
BTW, someone youtube'd that funny scene with Mordin
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
