OK, no "8800 have issues" or "galaxy map doesn't load" or whatever. Gameplay discussion only. This game is amazing and I think it deserves such a thread.

So what class did you guys take? I chose the soldier, but I have a pretty good feeling I'll be taking a vanguard or adept on a second run through the story.

Thanks to Rinze for keeping an eye on this thread!

Am I allowed to discuss the 360 version, or does it have to be the PC-only one? :\

Either way, I started off as a Vanguard -- finished the game, then on the PC I created a Soldier class. I thought Vanguard would be cool, but I almost never used the Biotic powers >_<

Sure, 360 gameplay is fine too, as long as it's GAMEPLAY.

I don't know, it looks cool when teammates do stuff with their biotic powers lol.

I agree with Leo, it is an amazing game. You can clearly see Bioware's quality in the game. Just like all the other RPG they created, this one is so immense and deep.

I started as Vanguard as well, I like the combination of power and bio.

Absolutely! You'll never hear me disagree on that Smile This one of the most amazing and engrossing games I've played in a long, long time Smile

How did you guys start off? Renegade or Paragon? I completed it, the first time, as a Paragon. Now I'm going through it as RENEGADE! *evil grin*

Shame you can only play as a human... Laughing I love the look of the race of the bad guy (still haven't learned the names).

I also like the fat dudes race, that have to state the emotion before the sentence. They're fucking hilarious.

Nope, real-time ... though you CAN choose to pause the action while you issue orders to your team-mates or change weapons/Biotics.

I like the one that looks like a fucking toad. He's massive and has funny remarks.

Maybe in ME 2, you could choose a race.

For favorite race I like the look of those Jellyfish/Slime/Tentacle thingies, (H something.) there's one of those as a shopkeeper in one of the upper citadel station buildings and it's quite happy to see you. (Nearly too happy.)

I also like the dialogue system, quite a few choices despite many of them being similar to one another in what they do and the codex function is great.

There's a ton to do in this game as well, played most of today and only recently finished the last citadel quest before leaving in the starship.
(Tried to finish everything up, finding all those 21 "units" <- to avoid spoilers, wasn't exactly easy and took quite a while.)

Exactly what I was thinking. That being said, I don't know how the story ends, so we'll see.

OK...I haven't played it yet, but I'd ask a question of you guys, as you seem to speak so highly of it:

Is this game HALF as good as the first KOTOR?


Blame! don't act!

kotor had the same idea with combat, you can pause/issue orders/unpause

Aye, you can play the entire game "pause-free" in complete realtime if you want (My brother detests turn based, so he ignored KoTOR/KoTOR2 for months before I told him he could CHANGE that) Very Happy

Great game! Very fine story telling, allthough I don't feel my "decisions" too much at the moment. Well, but I just finished the first mission Smile Maybe it'll change later on Wink

And will I get that girl? She's hot for a NPC Very Happy

The Ashley girl is boring, you'll get something much better later on Very Happy. The best advice I can give you guys is, do not neglect the biotic powers. If you level in it and get used to it, you can do some serious damage in a very cool way.

I want to see the face of that chick that goes with you, that has that mask on her. Looks like female darth vader.

Bah, shame I can't advance cause of the stupid map bug. I hope they fix it soon so I can play.

Does anyone know of a way to edit an ini file or something as to mark certain achievements as enabled? I have the 360 version. finished it just once (since I was thinking may as well wait for the PC version) and I am not sure I want to grind out some of them again. Some of them would be piss easy to get fast (like any weapons achievement.) then restart the game. But not all.


At the very least I want to enable Hardcore mode so that I don't need to finish the game twice before I get insanity mode.

I've found soldier to be the easiest starting class as they can take the most punishment, don't have to be all that careful, and can finish most fights without being very dependant on team mates to help out. They play pretty much the same all through the game though, biotics- using classes are more varied, so they feel a bit refreshing.

Also I doubt you can choose race in ME2, as the buzz hints that you will be the same character in all three planned ME games. According to that, you'll be able to carry over the Shepard you create.

Well...I am about 3.5 hours into it now...it's definitely got that KOTOR'ish feeling, but it's weirder, I mean, the indoor areas are twice as big but they feel a bit empty...the whole convo thing is a double-edged sword for me...cuz it's nice to have that flexibility but at the same time what you're pressing to say isn't always what you say...it's a "general idea" of a "response".
I must say it runs better than I expected at everything max'd or w/e you wanna call it, it looks nice but the character models are WAY more detailed than the environment which makes things look...again, weird.

But since this is a gameplay thread I'll stick to topic...the shooting is OK once you get used to it and the story, while not THAT deep (some might disagree with me) is delivered really well which gives it a richer feeling.
The only complaint I got is the downright awkwardness of it all together...It just doesn't add-up as well as KOTOR did -- gameplay wise.
It's fun, but a little disappointing...there's a comment that one of the characters make when walking around chattering "Don't you just feel we're way in over our heads on this" or something similar which to me feels like a metaphor of how this game was developed...if you asked me pre-release I'd say "take 4 more years and make this a masterpiece" but...yeah...right...no.

Just my honest and humble opinion on this one.

Oh and I know it's impossible but please stop calling this game ME it keeps making me say "M-E!" (Ricky Gervais' Fame) Laughing
