I said that Ash died, Wrex is alive, and the Council was saved. When i started ME2, i was asked if things had happened the way they did in my save game. Did Ashley or Kaiden die on Virmire, did you kill Wrex, and did you save the Council (iirc). Sorry, when i said 3 main choices, i meant the main decisions that affect the actualy story, not just side missions. It allows people who have lost their saves to rebuild the world they had and it lets new players flesh out their character and the story they're about to play. They already started that scene in the shuttle, another two minutes there and you could programme in the majority of your decisions. Miranda run a series of "memory tests" where you can tell her exactly what your decisions were/would have been in those situations. So you can totally customise it the way you want, even change gender mid game, or class etc etc.īut its handy if you beat ME1 on a console and play me2 on your pc, apart from importing your me1 face, you can continue on from what you did in me1 if you so wish. Theres a save editor mod that allows you to select all the detailed choices you made in me1 and its dlc, and save it onto your ME2 save. You forget your talking about the PC here. Don't get me started on the downsides of starting with no paragon or renegade score. Mass Effect 2 is a lot of fun but there's some stuff in there that really annoys me to be honest. It would be so easy to have a brief conversation that will configure your primary decisions from the last game, but they didn't bother. I think "Ah, that's a clever way to let me tell the game what I did in Mass Effect 1", but then they just tell you what the situation is and move on. There's a point near the very start where you're sitting with someone and she asks you a couple questions about the first game. It's pretty stupid and unforgivable really. At least with the PC version, if you don't have a save then they just give you a default setup and you have no control over it. Between news and exploring I think most of the choices you make in ME1 are carried over to ME2. Get it on XBox for your save file, it's really satisfying to listen in on news or visit a planet and see what your actions in ME1 caused. Overall, I miss some aspects of the inventory and weapon mods, but ME2's still an improvement, and well worth getting. Being able to cut dialogue short with Renegade/Paragon actions is well-done XP is streamlined too, you get a set amount for each mission, and the level cap is 20 or 30, can't remember which.ĭialogue and characters have improved. Sniping is a lot more interesting in ME2 due to the addition of headshots, invisibility cloaks, and a few seconds of bullet time when you aim. The addition of ammunition after the first was odd, but it works well enough, and needing to conserve shots sometimes makes for extra challenge. You can't use every weapon, and most enemies are very resistant to a certain skill set, so you really have to work your team tactically to get the most out of them. On the other hand, the combat has been streamlined really quite well. You won't be as bored looking at scenery in ME2, it's significantly more varied. On the other hand, I guess it freed up time to work on environments. And the scanning planets can be pretty annoying. Speaking as someone who enjoyed the Mako sections despite the dodgy handling, it does take away a bit from the exploration side, all travel now is pretty much cutscene. No vehicle sections either, unless you get some of the DLC (And I thought the Firewalker thing was a bit meh). They went a bit too far in some areas, such as removing the inventory entirely when all they really needed to do was allow that heap of identical items to stack. It's much more streamlined in some areas. Still, it's much better than Dragon Age! I can't believe I only heard about the series last month!! :eek: Is the second a huge improvement? I liked the first, but I thought repetitive level structure made it drag a bit at times (only so many times I could see that colonial structure.). Probably XBox because of price and my save file. I just completed ME1 on the XBox, and I'm trying to decide whether to get 2 on the xbox or PS2.
