Just finished the game.

And everyone survived. Huzzah! And I told Illusive Man to fudge off.

The combat is better than in ME1. I'd prefer the overheating system in ME1 to the ammo one, as you still need to change weapons to take out barriers, shields, armor etc. But never had problems with ammo supply. I do hope however that the Infilitrator gets larger sniper rifle capacity (haven't tested Infiltrator yet). Played Vanguard and love the Force Charge...but only used it against 1-2 mobs along with Cryo ammo...that said, force charging a freezed enemy is just very very fun. Charge against 3+ mobs and you get toasted quick.

Planetary scanning is tedious. Luckily there are way more resources out there than what you need. I do quick scans and only watch for spikes and it works like a charm.

The hacking & bypassing minigames are okayish on the PC, at least compared to the "frogger minigame" we had in ME1. Still, part of me misses taking Garrus or Tali along in ME1 because of their Electronics/Decryption skills.

Too few weapons and NO stats it seems. I'd love to see some more variety.

Like the mix&match armor for standard armor, shame there is no for the other armor types. Miss equipping squadmates with armor.

Feels like there are too few sidequests. Have a feeling Bioware might have done it intentionally to add more with DLCs.

I really really would want there to be more squadmate banter/talk as in Dragon Age (walking by certain areas).

Hope all characters return for ME3. Characters are fun, but I feel that in ME1 and other Bioware games there was much more background info and such you could talk to them about. Think I only had 4 "chat sessions" with Garrus, before he didn't want to talk to me..

I actually think that in ME3 you might have to choose which species will survive or not. Quarians and Geth missions have some pointers indicating they will be needed for the fight to come.
