Anyone know a cheat code (or how to enable console) to unlock the achievements? I want to start a new game with a loyalty achievement ability - either barrier, fortification, or geth shield.
Gonna ask again since now DLCs are technically cracked.
Tell me about the special items: are they overpowered like many in Dragon Age, or do they mesh well with those available throughout the game by default (i.e. you don't get uberweapons right at the start)?
you get all the stuff straight from the start, but i wouldnt call them overpowered. the bonuses given by the armor arent out of whack with what you would get with regular armors, and they cant be customized. i use regular armors because they look better and give me more choices on what bonuses i want. and the DLC weapons are decent, but im not using them - the sniper rifle that fires in burst mode is better than the bolt action one you start with, but im still using the semi automatic one because its better for landing headshots than the DLC one. cant comment on the assault rifle, since i cant use it. and the gravity gun, while awesome, isnt that overpowered since at the start of the game you wont be able to carry much HW ammo.
lousy and russian subs
finished in 30+ hours not all sidequest completed, but u can always complete them afterwards, nobody died, all loyalty missions completed and managed to bang Miranda before the end
infiltrator with maxed out sniper rifle, 5 shots and any mozefaka is dead
assault rifle spray loox pathetic however
No one else thought Jack was way hotter than Miranda? I was annoyed by her goody two shoes attitude. Jack on the other side was just such a mean bitch, like the chick from Aliens whos asked If she ever wished she was a man and replied no, do you?
Loved her tatoos aswell, great character hope to see more of her in ME3.
Dont mess with God, he can impregnate your girlfriend/wife without taking his pants off!
Usually, when hanging on to the ship over the abyss, one of your teammates pulls you in. Since everyone is dead and Joker has this bone disease and can't pull him up, he falls to his death.

Jack was not really what I find attractive but her character was great.
Spoiler:
Completely badass but also completely terrified. Miranda on the other hand was pretty bland, not enough conflict. "Onoz my perfection is also my flaw!." Also, bitch I knew as soon as you mentioned "your friend" he was betraying you.
I did end up boinking her though. Think I'll try Tali next.
Or Garrus, I hear that ends hilariously (as female Shep.)
I think the most powerful non-heavy weapon is that special sniper rifle you get with advanced training. 1-2 shots at most takes care almost of anyone.
Spoiler:
Took down the reaper with 5 shots as a soldier..played on normal difficulty though - so the final battle was over pretty quick..took me more effort to take down that armature colossus thing.
DLC armor is kinda useless: non customizable, so you are stuck with what you have, while customization bonuses will probably give you even better armor. Can't say anything about weapons yet. Missions are supposed to be very short..all in all,l as I said, DLC is not worth it for now. Keep waiting for the better ones - those they're gonna ask money for.
Still, ME was always about that main experience/storyline for me... so the only worthy addition will be ME3.
Last I heard they were gunning for a 2011 release, so it might not be such a long wait (ME2 is not even released in Europe, and I am waiting for ME3...a sad day )
Relationships... I went for Tali, wanted to get there with ME1, since I figured it might be a more interesting storyline considering all the complications, and I liked her character above others.
Yeah, finally finished on insanity (never botched it down). I was playing adept, so it took 48 hours (did everything).
Adept is really hard, fights take a million years, and it's not challenging, it's already boring. No matter how I microed my mates, the died in all of the major fights, didn't even bother bringing them back up, unless I needed more cannon fodder.
I let everyone live, except for Jacob and Jack. They were both overly cliche, and who the hell did Jacob think he was, briefing my new mates all the time?
Bioware just tried to do dark, they should have realized, that dark is more than having a black guy and another chick, who swears all the time.
The only interesting character was Mordin, he was the only one with an inner conflict, the others were straight up typical.
The story was underwhelming, and just like the first one, had some weak spots, although here, there were a lot conflicting stuff. The whole point of the collectors being drones for the reapers was so ... done in ME1 with geth and the keepers?
It would have been much better story, imho, if they simply made the collectors a so called new faction, the remnants of protheans trying to fight the reapers by building the "ultimate organic being". But meh, that's just me.
My orignial review of the game stands: weak as and RPG, very very lacking as a shooter, and very unbalanced classes/difficulties for classes.
It is a sad thing, that not only did the gameplay get seriously dumbed down, left the players with absolutely zero choice in how to play (do a mission/simply fight).
This is not an RPG, nor the "evolution of RPGs".
It is a mediocre shooter with a weak story (want something dark? go play kotor2 again, that was loads darker on dark side, and left you thinking).
The real sad thing is, wow it's praised. Most reviewers giving it the highest score. That is so sad.
You won console tard.
I hate these simpletons, this is why twilight sells so well, because stupid people have power (even though they barely understand 4th grader maths). They never read, nor would they be able to understand George Orwell for example, but they make stupid Stephanie Meyer rich.
There really wasn't much equipment available, used this model viewer - http://www.gildor.org/projects/umodel - and checked the SFXNotificationImages_ files for the "inventory" icons for them, what I posted on the previous page is all of them.
(Plus the flamethrower, sniper rifle, assault rifle and black-hole gun via DLC.)
Having checked the available armor as well ( BIOG_HMM_HGR_SHP_R or BIOG_HMF_ARM_SHP_R ) I only missed one chest piece.
(There are five base pieces labeled NAME"a" to NAME"d", chest, legs, arm, pauldron and "glove" plus four helmet pieces in another file minus the DLC helmet options and full suit DLC armor.)
Was hoping for a improved pistol or SMG as those were fairly limited, haha, quite a discovery.
And what's a "Kasumi" speaking of pack files, there's for example BioD_Nor_220Miranda which is a Normandy scene with Miranda but then there's a empty pack file called BioD_Nor_280aKasumi (And some more plus a few for Zaed.) cut companion perhaps?

I was under the impression that if you go almost immediately, you can save them. I went late so for example Kelly died in front of me, some people managed to save her.
You know, upcoming DLC is annoying for games like this. For games that are open ended that can really last you a long time, no problem, adds to the experience, but when they release DLC a month or two after I've explored every crevice of the game multiple times, well it's kinda boring.
So basically, what's this about pulled DLC? God damn. Looks like I'll have to wait before replaying. Also did they ever release that RtO DLC for DAO? lol it's like that one NWN2 premium module that was released a year or so after it was finished.

MTV generation...
Idiot people....
gotta luv these kinda monkeys, here is your banana
Lost half the crew!
So how am I supposed to do it any different? Legion opens up only after the Joker mission. If I go save the people just after the attack, I don't have Legion or his loyalty. If I open him up and go do his mission, half the crew dies.
Impossible choice?
LOL RtO. Ah, I love Bioware, but it's wise to not expect much from their DLC. Shale was a fluke (that was really part of the original game so shouldn't count.)

legion was available to me after acquiring IFF, then u can do his loyalty mission
WEll they definitely need to raise the level cap if they are gonna add more and more DLCs. With level cap 30, you basically can't really replay the game 2x, since looks like you reach 30 on first playthrough.

Huh? I got the quest to find that "thing", recruited "Legion" in the process, talked to him afterwards (Thing recovered being checked.) got loyalty quest and did that as well, return and got announcement that "thing" is ready, everything done and no time wasted.
