Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
I'm pretty curious what kind of other DLC we'll see coming down the pipe. The Normandy stuff was real cool, but day one DLC just makes me think they were things planned but didn't have time to finish (especially given ME2 was delayed a few months anyway).
Although given that the side quests in ME2 have all been immensely more interesting then say, Bringing Down the Sky, hopefully Bioware is on the right track.

The main reason they set up the whole "Cerberus Network" card with every game (besides an incentive to buy the game new instead of used) was to be able to better funnel all the DLC they have planned to each person's game.

What are everyone's favorite weapons not including heavy ones? As an infiltrator in my first playthrough, the sniper rifle is by far my favorite, especially after you get the anti-material one. The heavy pistol wasn't bad and I thought the SMG was pretty useless.
I just started my 2nd game with a vanguard and the shotgun's not doing much for me so far. I loved it in the first ME so hopefully it'll get better after some upgrades. Haven't used the assault rifle yet.

or, it's EA wanting to have total control over a game and not relying on Microsoft. taking the DLC out the hands of MS so they can get all the money.

I mean would it have been so freaking hard to have at least one more upgrade late in the game that actually made the probe stuff faster? Like make your circle 50 times bigger or something...I see NO reason to have this in the game...if they wanted to make us "earn" our upgrades, and makes us feel like we had done something after getting enough crapium to make a gun upgrade...they failed...

This may have been answered already:
After you beat the game, can you go back and do the side missions (the ones you find by scanning anomalies on planets) in order to continue leveling up to 30? If so, I'll just do the main mission now. But if not, I'll have to do all the side missions first.

One thing kind of funny that I found
Miranda was my love interest during the game, but after I beat the game I went back to her and the same conversation wheel came back up. So this time I selected I'm not interested in her and went down and had sex with Jack. I repeated that with Jack and now Ashley's picture is upright on the desk again

Ha, that's awesome. I'm doing the final missions now. If I have everyone loyal to me, and am in good standing with all of them, it shouldn't really matter who I use for which sections, right? I have all the ship upgrades, too, including the useless med bay upgrade.

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
Suprmallet, if your goal is to get to level 30, it would be faster to do it with a new game plus. You get a 25% bonus, and the main missions always raise you a level. Side missions only give 40-120 points...so unless you are level 29, or want to do all the side missions (some are fun) start a new game, and get to level 30 in less than an hour.

Re: Mass Effect 2 - 360 and PC
Importing a level 60 ME1 character gave a much bigger starting bonus than a level 59-. Has anyone imported a level 30 ME2 character for New Game+ yet? I'm only 220 EXP away, so I think I'll just hit level 30 and see what that gives. Hopefully something of value since an EXP bonus would be completely wasted.

Assuming there's still 2 planets with 125 EXP quests out there for me to do then, yes, you can.
As I said, I finished it 220 shy of level 30. Since the universe is open for me to do stuff, I'll just go hit 30 before starting the 2nd run.
