Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
They should have made it like that old Genesis game Starcraft. I believe EA made that game, too.
You scanned the planet to see if it was safe to land, and if so, you did. You then drove your little buggy around and scanned for mineral deposits, which you mined. Then you sold them back for various prices.
Sometimes you were able to make a killing.
EDIT:
I meant Starflight, not Starcraft. I have Blizzard on the brain.

I didn't know you had to feed your fish after every mission, I went into Shepard's cabin and they were all floating at the top of the aquarium

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
yes..If you don't play as a Vanguard you will never get the rush of flying the speed of a bullet into a target. If you don't play as a soldier you never get to slow down time...there are things you don't get to do if you don't play as a class. I agree some of the classes you are not missing much, but the two I mentioned have things you can't experience if you don't play both. I forgot about the invisibility, that would be fun as well.

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
I see what you mean. I'm a soldier and I never, ever use my Adrenaline Rush (slow down time). I wish I could remap my Y button to my bonus, loyalty skill 
In fact, I was just noticing that I upgraded it all the way to level 4 and that was a pretty massive waste of skill points. Guess I should spend that Element Zero to reconfigure that.

Playing as a Renegade, my Shepard is pretty scarred up now with glowing red eyes. Kinda cool. Already hit Disc 2, but I haven't done any of the loyalty stuff yet. It almost feels like there's too many team members.

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
Just finished, I liked it. Though it seems like they're going to need two widely different stories for Mass Effect 3.
I was 220 EXP from reaching level 30 by the end of the game. Should have found 2 more planets with missions, I guess. I never even went to the 4 non-story systems I bought maps for at that one shop.
I did not like the cover mechanics in this game. I found myself sticking to shit I didn't want to stick to too often. Having a simple way to rotate around corners would have made it infinitely more tolerable. Not sure I can hang with the Insane difficulty on this one because of it. I'm sure cover will be essential to that.
But I'm sure as hell going to try!

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
Sorry but I'm in the middle of ME1 but can someone give me a few tips on the following....
I'm playing as a Soldier and have Garrus in m squad. I have his "Electronics" almost half way. At was at "peak 15" and where you have the option using electronics to fry the creatures it said "not enough electronic experience" or something like that. Why is that and do I need to put more points in that or somewhere else?
What's the best way to deal with all the stuff you pick up, ammo, shield mods and weapons? Convert to "Gel" or sell? I'm at the half way mark (level 27) with only 136K an have yet to buy anything which I'm also unsure what's best considering the prices.
Playing as the Soldier there's more areas to add points. I've almost maxed out Armor, 2/3 the way on Assault rifle, 1/3 on both Pistol and Shotgun and three on Sniper. I'm (7) on Charm, maxed on Soldier. Which other areas should I concentrate on maxing out in terms of health, Spectre or weapons?

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
I finished the game and I was still getting messages about not having enough electronic or tech ability so it's not that big of a deal. I believe Tali has a pretty high electronic ability if you want to take her instead
The only weapon I would max out is your primary weapon. I maxed out Shepard's assault rifle, Ashley's shotgun, and Garrus' sniper rifle and that was the team I kept and used most with those weapons.
I would definitely start selling you stuff you don't use. At the Citadel you buy licenses that allow the guy on your ship to sell you better weapons and you can sell what you don't use.
