Mass Effect Thread

Is anyone interested in this? If there is enough interest, I'll pull all the press stuff and statements from BioWare.

But Just to start, here is the official site

Official Mass Effect Site

"Two years after Commander Shepard repelled invading Reapers bent on the destruction of organic life, a mysterious new enemy has emerged. On the fringes of known space, something is silently abducting entire human colonies. Now Shepard must work with Cerberus, a ruthless organization devoted to human survival at any cost, to stop the most terrifying threat mankind has ever faced.
To even attempt this perilous mission, Shepard must assemble the galaxy’s most elite team and command the most powerful ship ever built. Even then, they say it would be suicide. Commander Shepard intends to prove them wrong."

For anyone who doesn't know about the story behind the Thresher Maw attack on Akuze, which your character may or may not have been part off, here it is.

Also, I'd like to have this post as a sort of guide for the first ME game, and maybe for the second.

I would like to mention it now, Spoiler Warning. However big or small they are, There will be spoilers. If it is a major plot spoiler, I will state again. For Minor Spoilers, use common sense. For Ally achievements, do you think talking about one of the squad mates will piss you off, then just skip past.

So first things first: a short achievement guide on the harder achievements.

Rich: Get 1,000,000 credits.

This achievement seems impossible early on, because you'll be struggling to buy anything worth more than 3,000. But as you level up, the amount of credits you get per survey goes up, the level of equipment goes up and so does your budget. By the time you are at level 40, you should have an inventory worth over 1,000,000 to most stores and double that to The Med clinic in the Citadel (See Below).

Once you finish Eden Prime, convert all your weapons (APART FROM STINGER II), upgrades and armours to omni-gel, as all equipment gives you the same amount of omni-gel so there is much more sense in converting the cheaper stuff that sells for 11 credits to omni-gel. Don't worry about worthwhile weapons; By the time you complete your first main quest, you should have some decent weaponry. Convert all Level one items to omni-gel. I'll put a general price guide below

Level I Items; e.g, Lancer I:Generally sell for less than 100 credits

Level II Items; e.g, Stinger II:Generally sell for 100-1000 credits. Sell if they are worth more than 700

Level III Items; e.g, Hammer III: Generally sell for 1000-6000 credits. Always sell

MORE TO COME

I got to play the demo for ME2 at E3 this year, and I was really impressed. The guys at Bioware reeeeally put a lot of effort into fixing the issues with the combat system. IMO, the new layout felt comfortably like an FPS, while still presenting all of the fun RPG options. AND, they ditched the accuracy attribute on the weapons! I was having almost a little too much fun sniping guys across the map with and incendiary ammo...

Also, since I know the question will come up... No, I didn't get to play around with the inventory.

My demo was distinctly designed to show off the revamped combat.

I haven't tried Mass Effect yet. Mostly because people said Oblivion and Fallout 3 were really good RPGs with alot of options and I didn't play EITHER of them for more then 3 hours. I hear the same about this. Is this different, should I try this and if so, should I get it for PC or Xbox 360?

Less than a month away! Cant wait, especially since i got a $25 Gamestop card for christmas, so i don't have to use 60 dollars of my own.

"Mass Effect 2 will have 90 voice actors playing 546 characters, speaking over 31,000 lines of dialogue"

That bit of info completely blew me away. I'm not sure how that compares to other games, but I'm sure it's alot. I just read through the whole wikipedia page, got me REALLY excited for this. Can't WAIT!

EDIT:

That's kind of sort of a bit of a spoiler don't you think?

Watching a video from OXM on the Dashboard, and apparently its in multiple disks. One containing the main game, and the other containing other unexplored worlds. Haven't heard this before (of course, I havent even read that many articles on the game)

Edit: Finished. *Council died, but everyone was saved.*
Epic freaking ending. Acid damage really helped TONS. Powered through in 13 hours. Best game I've played in a while, and seeing as how Mass Effect 2 even improves on this. Oh my god, I'm excited.

I've already pre-ordered the game, and I'm picking it up on the 26th. I cannot WAIT! I really ought to go through the first game one more time to set up the perfect playthrough for the second game though. I'm a level 60 Hunter and I've got the Bringing Down the Sky DLC, didn't get Pinnacle Station because it's lolexpensive.
