A scientist once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the Earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the centre of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy.
At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: 'What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise.
The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, 'What is the tortoise standing on?'
'You're very clever, young man, very clever,' said the old lady. 'But it's turtles all the way down.'

Re: Mass Effect 2
The Volus are largely pleasant, they just have a dickhead for an ambassador (just like the humans lol). And the Elcor are the best thing ever, no joke. I'd love to see an Elcor soldier int he party, lumbering around with a big cannon on his back.

Re: Mass Effect 2
Info on the weapons have come to light recently. There are 19 different weapon categories in Mass Effect 2, rather than the 4 of the original game. Also, instead of swapping an Avenger II for an Avenger III, there are only one mark of each firearm, but instead you are constantly getting new upgrades to plug into the thing. In other words, Shepard gets better by getting Space-Tacticool.

Re: Mass Effect 2
I thought it was just the same 4, plus heavy weapons. It must just mean that you can swap out Heavy Pistol for Machine Pistol and things like that.

Re: Mass Effect 2
Are there still different manufacturers? I'm an Armax fanboy.
There was a video that basically showed that the Geth have the coolest guns in the game. Except for the Collectors, maybe.Gramzamber wrote:Whatever, I just want more Geth guns that go pewpewpew.

Re: Mass Effect 2
Did the manufacturers even affect anything beyond paintjob? In Blands the manufacturers have different qualities (ie I prefer SnS guns due to magazine size, Sherry prefers Maliwan due to elemental effects, Flash prefers Jakobs for heavier damage, etc).

Re: Mass Effect 2
If there are different manufacturers still I hope their stuff looks different this time.
Aside from Geth Armories they were all like 4 variations of reskin. Funny how the Batarian manufacturers who hate humans soooo much make guns that look exactly like human ones.

Re: Mass Effect 2
The brands themselves had no effect but the models produced by them had different properties. I don't recall any patterns offhand since it was just a matter of looking at coloured bars until SMWs.

Well, yeah, obviously. I just like the name and they have a cool symbol.adam_grif wrote:Armax? I didn't pay attention to the manufacturers. Spectre Master Gear or bust.
I'm pretty sure there was no real difference between brands in ME, though as a general rule some brands are just superior (ie. Armax is better than Haliat which is better than Elkoss), but it's nothing like Borderlands' rather cool system. It would be nice if there are brands in ME2 there is some difference between them, like maybe Elkoss weapons have better fire rate and ammo capacity, but they're less accurate and less powerful compared to another manufacturer.Stark wrote:Did the manufacturers even affect anything beyond paintjob?

Re: Mass Effect 2
Blands actually puts the logo of the manufacturer you use most behind your character's glory shot in the skill area - nobody I know actually chooses guns by manufacturer, but it's interesting that play style means choosign by stats tends to push you towards a certain one. I didn't even really notice brands until I realised I was an S&S posterboy and now I realise every gun that interests me is S&S (or Hyperion for the Pearlescent Support Nova Optimus lol).

Re: Mass Effect 2
I didn't really pick up on the brands either until I realised that Marcus actually talks about their different traits in the shop (IE. Jacobs guns have too much high power, man, Atlas have guns which excell in all areas, S&S are good for tech users and so on). I still didn't choose by manufacturers, but because they're all consistently stated it's actually not a bad thing to have a favourite manufacturer. It's really quite cleverly done.

They're gonna have to have Garrus as the third female romance. The legion of fans seem to demand it, based on the amount of fanfiction for those two out there.adam_grif wrote:The known romances so far:

That would probably be the best thing ever. No, I tell a lie, a Wrex romance would be the best thing ever. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a Tali romance, given how loud fans are shouting for it.Agent Fisher wrote:They're gonna have to have Garrus as the third female romance.

Wrex as a romance option for male Shepard. Given that the genophage makes the Krogan walking abortion machines, the overall reaction from the Fox News crowd would be priceless.

Re: Mass Effect 2
Ghetto edit:
Thought I'd just tally up the known squadmates while I'm in the mindset.
Returning:
- Garrus (Turian)
- Tali (Quarian)
New:
- Miranda (Human)
- Jacob (Human)
- Subject Zero (Human)
- Thane (Drell)
- Samara (Asari)
- Grunt (Krogan)
- Morden (Salarian)
- ???
I'm guessing that Legion (Geth) will be the last one based on the achievements list. All the former-council races and a few others.

Re: Mass Effect 2
I would love a Geth squad member. The ME1 philosophy of "all artificial intelligence is evil because it is" got on my damn nerves.
Sure you could play devil's advocate for the Geth with Tali but it never went anywhere and it'd just go "But they would've destroyed us if we hadn't tried to kill them first!" "What do you base that on?" "Because they're machines and they hate us!" "They hate you cause you tried to kill them." "They hate us because they hate us!" and so on.
Also imagine the convos between Legion and Tali... that is unless Tali throws a patented Alistair bitch-fit and leaves if it joins.
