On my first play through I got everyone to be loyal to me, but I must not of beat the final reaper in time since Jack died; She was a b***** anyway. That damn sniper rifle is a god, love that thing.

You may have done her side quest but

if your paragon/renegade skill isnt high enough and you had to choose between her and the other, shes aint making it out alive.

Even down to one of my tiniest complaints in the first game which had to be that you had to click through all the journal/codex entries to make the menu not flash at you. In ME2 they simply put a "mark all read" and solved the problem. Attention to detail makes me smile. :D

That was actually an option in ME1 as well - on the 360, open the codex and hit X and it marks all read. I used it countless times on playthroughs after my first to stop the damn codex icon from flashing at me on the menu.

At any rate, my copy should be arriving today from the EA store. And I still need to finish my other ME1 transfer character...

Please put spoiler tags on some of that since you are discussing the end part of the game. I unfortunately read the first sentence.

metal_dragen: I wonder how I completely missed that in the first one! Doh!

He posted at 1am, it's waaaaaaaaaaay to late for editing. Never mind, Bioware gave away bigger spoilers them selfs they said in the marketing saying you can die at the end of the game. Christ it even tells you that in the IN GAME TIPS. :/

Edit: Just installed the PC version. Unimpressed. Barely any ability to change the graphical settings and the sensitivity in game is either Low, Med or High! If it wasn't for the much improved UI I'd think this is a C&P port of the 360 version. Oddly enough they increased the requirements for most achievements too, at least they recognize talent! ;D

And how about configuration utility? Graphics wise its rather sufficient imo. But as far as sensitivity go i have to agree - had to edit settings file manually.

I finished the game and loved it of course. I am already doing my second run through :)

I got all of them to be loyal except Miranda, stupid biatch lol And was quite happy, once I did the last battle, I lost everyone except 4 characters. I WAS ****ED!!!!, I assume that is because my Paragon was not high enough, and the updated skills for everyone was not good enough, time for my next run through with the game

Ha by the sounds of it I had the most success on my first playthough! :D

Crew, team members all alive bar Jack who died. Sent Legion in to the pipes, used the vanguard to defend me while walking through the swarm and asked everyone to stay back xpt me Wrex-clone & Miranda.

How did you managed to **** up so bad?! :D :D

Especially loosing, what it seems to be, almost all your backup team in the end game?

. Im just curious about other possibilities and variables. Ill probably replay it few more times, but there was just too many options near the end, that, as it seems now, led to drastically different conclusions.

And as far as paragon/renegade scores and their impact on story goes - in main story there were only two situations where they could have really made difference - loyalty of legion and jack. To bs your way out of conflict. But i have no idea how high must have those scores have been, as I had both at 2,5 bars and still couldnt select neither. But still - Legion survived, despite not being fully loyal.

Imo the only way to save Jack was to have her with you in final boss fight. Or fully loyal, thou not sure about that. And i sent my crew to go find normandy on their own, and they failed miserably. Actually I like the ship better this way now, more freedom and no more Kelly to accidentally click on :D Sent Tali through the vents and took Samara to escort me, Garrus and Mordin (thanks to his incinerate skill, usefull against armor of harbingers) and also left everyone to hold point leaving Miranda as commander of Fire team (or whatever was it called).

Basically I ran through the game, I did the main quests, and the quests to make everyone loyal, upgraded the ship and that was it. Clearly if you don't upgrade everyone's ability's and all that extra stuff, and being 100% paragon probably helps, not many people die. Miranda was one of them, I failed horribly with her, I didn't get the love story, before the end mission she was not loyal anymore and she ended up dieing. I was so mad lol

Do we really need to do spoilers now? The game is out!!

You should always spoiler. Plus, it's only legally out in the US.

I was near full renegade and had my whole team live at the end.

Was a brilliant game but kind of disappointed, felt like 30 hours of side missions recruiting and getting the crew loyal and 1-2 hours of the main story, the annoying thing is I was enjoying the game and I knew I'd get the final crew member and that would be it game over, also felt a bit cheap how they fixed the citadel up and decided to ignore the reapers, it felt like the first game only they changed sovereign to the collectors and alliance to cerberus. :unsure:
