So me and Kelly got together....certainly the most interesting romance option I've seen so far.
In regards to the DLC, I might pass on it for now. If she came with a whole new storyline, four or five missions, IMO she would be worth the points. But as it stands, one character, one level and a new gun....no thanks. Especially if it's a heavy weapon, I haven't used anything else after getting the arc projector.
my friend got a copy of ME2 so i thought id give it a whirl when hes done with it.
scratch that, when i get my laptop back.
I shall play you a sad song on the worlds smallest violin.

I feel your pain with the laptop being unattainable at the moment. No better way to express ones sympathy than with a good ol' Spongebob quote!
Think your links are wrong. ~;)Quote:

A VI gone rogue? Wow, never seen that in Mass Effect.
True, but it's not just any VI, a human-VI hybrid. Seriously.....if anyone had any doubts about Cerberus and their intentions, this has to be the wake up call. Who else would be crazy enough to try to meld a human brain into a VI interface.Quote:

Awesome awesome news! Finally some meaningful DLC.
Depends. Haven't been impressed with Bioware's recent DLC offerings, but mainly I'm curious as to pricing.Quote:

Thing is the pricing is not too bad tis cheap enough but it has been meh though.Quote:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
I just hope that this finally turns out to be one of those DLCs which will 'bridge the gap between ME2 and ME3'. It should be set after ME2's endgame.
I have 880 bioware points saved up for the new DLC. I already have Overlord and Kasumi, not to mention the Cerberus Network, but that comes standard with the game.
I cant wait!
Haven't played either DLC yet. Might have to do that later, although with rumours of increasing level cap I might wait.Quote:

But the Overlord DLC is very worth it. Its long, and a great plotline.
Any rumours of whether the DLC will come out on disk like some DLC does?
I'm kind of waiting for more DLC releases so that I can play them all at once. It has always bothered me with DLC that you seem to drop into extra game content, play for a couple of hours and then that's it.
It's about time.Quote:

I need some advice: I'm currently working towards going after the Reaper IFF (I'm playing on medium difficulty), then to the Omega 4 Relay, but I'm spending the time upgrading everything and doing all the side missions. I already fully upgraded my ship with the armor, guns, and multicore shielding (so I won't lose anyone en route to the base, fully upgraded my assault rifle as well as partially upgraded all the other weapons; I've recruited all my crew except Legion, obviously, and have all their loyalty except for Jack, whom I sacrificed her loyalty for Miranda’s— after all, Miranda is hotter and my paragon/renegade points weren't high enough to keep both of them.
I am currently 3/5 with paragon, 1/5 renegade.
My current plan is to keep mining until I get 10,000 element zero, so I can afford the advanced training twice- once for AP bullets before I undertake the Overlord missions (there are a lot of synthetic enemies, I'm assuming, since I will be dealing with enemy VI), then before I go to the Reaper ship, I plan on switching to Shredder bullets, which will tear apart the husks and other biotic enemies. Or am I making a mistake switching to shredder ammunition?
Now that I think about it, the Husks are easy to mow down with my light machine gun anyhow with incendiary ammo, but the Scions are harder to kill. And the Scions are armored, so I think I’ll keep the AP ammunition. Gee, I think I just saved myself a lot of time scanning for element zero!
But what I'm asking is, once I get Legion to join my team and earn his loyalty, do I keep Tali’s loyalty or Legion’s? My paragon level isn’t good enough to keep both of them, I don’t think (how high does it have to be anyways?) I heard that Legion is more useful than Tali, but I’m not sure.
Also, how does the final mission work? What determines whether a squad member dies or not? Loyalty? In that case, I’d lose two members since everyone else is loyal, but is there anything else that comes into play?
On a side note, does anyone else think that the side missions, as well as some of the loyalty missions, are painfully short? I mean for Tali, her mission took me all of 15 minutes, and one particular side mission only took a grand total of 7 minutes. I am definitely playing this again on hard!
One more thing: I've heard how after you beat the game and if you survived, you can start over with all your upgrades still there (but not paragon/renegade points). Is that true? I would love to start the game with the fully upgraded LMG, but this time I'm going to be a renegade.
You can start over with a fully upgraded character. Including the skills you picked from companion loyalties.
AFAIK, who survives the final mission depends on loyalty mission but not solely on that. There are quite a few factors, including a character's toughness (which comes into play specifically....Also say Jack isn't loyal and you choose her for a biotic job during the endgame, she is likely to falter, causing her and maybe one of your teammates to die. It's all quite complicated. Check here -Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Link to Suicide missions details on the wiki.
You need pretty high paragon or renegade to keep both legion and Tali's loyalty. It's personal preference I guess and you don't need complete loyalty from everyone to have everyone survive the suicide mission. Although, without spoiling too much, you should never ask non-loyal squad mates to do specific tasks which may require someone who is committed and trustworthy.
It's the highest renegade/paragon check in the game, the paragon check is a little lower than the renegade check so if you're playing through as renegade you may wanna save recruiting legion until the last possible chance.Quote:

But does that require a high paragon/renegade level? If so, Im going to side with Legion. Tali is useless and I enjoy seeing Legion do the Robot.Quote:
