Mass Effect 2

does this come with a code for the DLC or is it already on the disc so if i buy it used ill still get the DLC?

 

[kingsix18]

The game comes with extra armor, an extra squadmate, and 3 bonus missions. New copies come with an activation code that gives you access to 3 more missions, a new squadmate, more armor, and a new weapon. If you don't have the activation code it's $15.

After the Jack and Miranda argument I haven't been able to get Miranda loyal again. I have really high paragon but when I talk to Miranda the paragon option isn't available when I talk to her. Is there some easy way to get paragon up? Or am I screwed?

You're screwed.

I think you have to have max paragon or renegade going into that conversation in order to keep both squad members loyal.

 

[kingsix18]

Fuck. Oh well I'll get it on the second playthrough. I really think I can get the platinum trophy in this game so I'll make sure I have enough paragon/renegade next time.

All the women are loyal to me (so are the guys). There are certain times you need to do certain missions and when you did the Miranda (or Jack) mission can have an impact on who is loyal and who isn't.

Kelly will feed the fish for you if you play your cards right.

[drunkaholic707]

dont lie you bought this game looked at the instruction manual and returned it just like you do with every other game

 

[R]

^lol

i'm near the end of the game now, the IFF has been installed on the normandy and we're ready to go through the omega 4 relay

any tips on how to do this final mission and keep my team alive through it? i have all team members loyal apart from Jack and Zaeed

please keep any advice as spoiler free as possible, thanks

 

[pbarb666]

^^^. All I can say is shits about to go down make all the preparations u can now cause there's no goin back. Choose your team members roles wisely once u get there. There are a shitload of ways the game can end.

 

[kingsix18]

Get the upgrades for the Normandy like better armor and weapons. If you can, make Jack and Zaeed loyal to you. If you can't, don't choose them for any of the specific roles during the last mission.

i completed it

the final mission was one of the easiest missions in the whole game, i only died once and that was by accident near the start when tali was in the vent and i had to open the gates for her. my whole team made it out alive no problem whatsoever

i decided to give the collector base to the illusive man, i hope i made the right choice

What difficulty level were you playing on?

 

[pbarb666]

I never did it where everyone lived. Where you able to save the crew members too, including the secretary chick? I think I'm gonna buy the Shadow Broker and Overloard DLC and fire up my old game and do it where everyone dies.

Yes.

 

[R]

What difficulty level were you playing on?

normal, but i've played missions earlier in the game which i found a lot harder than the final one

I never did it where everyone lived. Where you able to save the crew members too, including the secretary chick? I think I'm gonna buy the Shadow Broker and Overloard DLC and fire up my old game and do it where everyone dies.

my strategy for keeping everyone alive:

all characters loyal apart from jack and zaeed

vents - Tali

first squad leader - Miranda

shield - Samara

second squad leader - Jacob

escort - Mordin

final team to kill the boss with - Miranda and Thane

 

[R]

did anyone else choose to give the collector base to the illusive man?

 

[HERESY]

Nope, I beat it twice and din't do so. However, I'm going to start a new campaign and do that. BTW, I assure that on the hardest difficulty, the last fight is kinda rough.

 

[R]

i just reloaded the auto save at the start of the final mission and played through it again, took about 15 minutes to do but this time i chose to destroy the base

now i've got two save files, one where i kept the base and another where i destroyed it so i can use both decisions for ME3

the game left me with a few questions though

where is the illusive man located? because at the start of the game, miranda and another woman were in the same room as him?

what's up with the illusive man's eyes? i get the feeling he's a robot or something

if the reapers are part synthetic and part organic, who created them? because the human reaper at the end was being manufactured by the collectors
