Hey everybody! I have released my new album 'Progenitor' which has electronic music inspired by great games such as Mass Effect. You can check it out and download it for free on my youtube channel if you're interested!
i let the council die but my reason was simple karmic payback -.- they didn't help sheppard why the hell should sheppard save them when if the roles were reversed they wouldn't save sheppard and we all know it XD
@Anime2GW but that gives more of a reason to save them because even though you know they are stuck up about been on the council and your race isn't and you know if they had to choose between saving you or been the first inline for the drinks vending machines you know full well they would choose first inline choice, you saved them anyway showing that you and your race has more heart than any living thing put together :)
Honestly after going into ME2, I wouldn't be surprised if the Council tried to turn against you in the court martial in ME3...jerks. I would have let them die but I was trying to be a badass hero, not a badass anti-hero
mass effect is the only rpg i have ever enjoyed. the others all seem like same old same old and i can never get into the whole medieval thing of the dragon age series.
@kirielvids - You simply haven't played any real RPG. Or, you haven't played anything that would tell you ME2 isn't an RPG. I have nothing against consoles, but it really lowered the standards for gaming. In GOW and ME2, you see a waist high barrier and think "Hey cool! I'm a scifi commando and there's a waist high barrier. Let's take cover!" and accept it. It's not your fault, EA's been dumbing gamers down for decades.
@ToiletBomberAlpha GOW is not an RPG though. ME is not turn based so the mechanics and gameplay can not possibly be the same as most turn based RPG games where you have much more complex combinations of items, powers etc to level up since the focus is not on the action/fighting. You can not compare this to turn based RPGs. You're comparing apples to oranges if you compare ME to a turn based RPG game. Bioware also puts a lot of time and effort into possible actions and consequences.
@ThePhazon - Never said GOW was an RPG, but ME and GOW use cover systems. Same for turn-based RPGs. ME isn't even an RPG, hence why I said console kids will accept any pile of crap. You really should learn how to read.
@ToiletBomberAlpha So if it's not an RPG it's a pile of crap? It doesn't have to be fucking EVE Online in order for it to be a good game. And you're still comparing apples to oranges, games WILL emphasize certain aspects more than others, it does not mean they neglected other aspects of that game. The developers simply want it to be more of an action game than an RPG, it doesn't mean it's crap.
@ThePhazon yea stop thinking that all because a game isnt turn based means its not an RPG. Go look up what an RPG is A game where the players choices affect gameplay and get to mold your character how you want it to be. Fallout, oblivion, final fatansy, mass effect, hell even pokemon a little lets you do that ok
@BeefSupreme101 actually, final fantasy isn't an RPG, not really. You don't mold your character, you merely follow it, with small dialogue choices that make no significant difference. FO and Oblivion, you are the character, you play the role, RPG alright. In Mass Effect, you follow Sheperd, but Sheperd is whoever the player chooses, they RP sheperd, and the choices you make have significant impact.
@ToiletBomberAlpha How is ME not an RPG? You take the perspective of a character and make decisions based on his/her personal choice that are reflected by your choices as that characters. Sounds pretty role-playingish to me.
i'd let the council die but i played me2 before me1, so i want to experience it differently, cause imo they dont give you any respect, well maybe the salarian and asari but the turian is a massive asshole! :/
I love the music that bioware produces it is amazing, i love the music in both dragon age and mass effect, it stands agains the music that the halo series produces
The best part of this ending is that there's no real right answer. You have to make a decision and live with the consequences good or bad.
You save the council and humanity is a hero and nobody questions their right to be on the council and have a say in politics. Hold back for Soverign, and you save ships but take control of the galexy in what will pass as a coup. This kind of decision is the mark of a masterpiece in gameing.
@KevinLuhrs Yea and you dont get to meet the council and get you spectre status reinstated in the second one if you dont. Thats why i save them. They will come around in ME3 one way or another.
it'd be funny if the "humans" were the actual ones who founded the council and not the turians/asari/salarians... it's like how elves are below all the other species in dragon age, yet in other games they're the most prestige (Elder Scrolls, Morrowind/Oblivion/Etc)...
If they really want to do a mass effect mmo, it should be the mass effect universe, not the story of Commander Shepard. I would make it take place sometime before, maybe when humans are first introduced to the galaxy or even further back. I just love the universe so much, and can't wait till number 3!!!
Is it kinda sad that the joint species (Turian, Salarian, and Asari) fleet got its ass handed to it and just a fraction of the human fleet came in a dominated everything?
Dude what level were you when you completed the game?Also you used alot of your powers I just used one and that was the shield boost, but nice job!One more thind did you let Saren/Soverien kill himself and get the achievment.
I was upset that Admiral Hackett didn't appear in Mass Effect 2. He's only referenced a few times here and there. He needs to appear in Mass Effect 3. Same voice actor, lol
@lochnessmonster96 actually, sovereign was saren, metophorically speaking. What im trying to say is Saren gave his turian life for sovereign. So sovereign went "inside" saren, and took over his brain, heart, every single organ in his body. So technichally, since sovereign was saren, shepard actually killed sovereign. Joker just destroyed the lifeless ship. do you get what im saying?
Although this is strange. If its as you say, and Sovereign was unable to survive because of Shepard killing his avatar, then how come Harbinger survives every time you kill a "possessed" collector in ME2?? Not to mention when he releases the Collector General..
Maybe there's some form of hierarchy among the reapers, and Sovereign was below Harbinger; in such way that Sovereign had limited power, and because Harbinger had more power, he could survive letting go of his puppets..
MMO's are fun to some extent, but i hope 1 thing will never happen.
NO MASS EFFECT MMO EVER, it will only fuck up the experience.
MMO is tempting offer because it can generate massive income for the company, but at the same time ruin the franchise.
Because people will start bitching at different mechanics of the game and the company will have to please them by nerfing this or nerfing that, wich in the end can ruin the experience of different individuals.
Choosing Anderson and letting the council live will probably be the best ideals for the rest of the series, the human council doesn't want ANYTHING to do with Shepard, and Udina is a horrible leader, taking politics over actual military action.
When Wrex shakes his head no and looks over to the wreckage, it was quite a sad moment. I guess Wrex did have a heart under that tough Krogan exterior. Who would've thought?
The gameplay(fighting) sucks, but I love the graphics and the story line! !!!SPOILER!!! In my game Ashley killed Wrex, it pissed me off so much I left her in sarens factory with the nuke.
you can still get your spectre status even if the council is dead, just apoint anderson as the new consul, and he will offer to reinstate your old job (not that it will do much in the sequel)
however the only way to actually meet the council is to save the old one, cuz the new one is too afraid to even look at your face after you let the old one die.
Also, you need to make sure the specialists are assigned for the correct assignments, such as Tali or Legion as a tech etc. Best chances for Mordin not to die is to make him escort the crew.
i just finished my first playthrough and i am wondering 2 things... 1: if i play through again and make different decisions, which playthrough will effect my me2 game? 2: i'm a tad confused on the story... isn't the ship that you see on eden prime sovrigen? if it is then whats up with the reavers waiting till now to attack? i thought there was something that saren had to do in order to let the reavers in, but i swear that the ship on eden prime is sovrigne. if anyone can help it would be awsome.
1) You choose which career file you use to play through ME2, and like ME1 you can play through multiple times.
2) Yes the ship on Eden Prime is Sovereign. All the other reapers are holding outside of the galaxy. Sovereign was a vangaurd they left behind to open Citidal mass relay to let the reapers in. With Sovereign destroyed, that cannot come to pass.
@Shakduhn: Both MMORPGs and standard RPGs can easily coexist. Both have their own unique strengths and weaknesses. MMOs aren't meant to have deep, compelling narratives.
@Shakduhn i disagree. mmo's have a huge potential to be incredible experiences, however making such a game is incredibly difficult. world of warcraft is probably the first rpg to go beyond the call of duty with their expansions, dungeons, and incredible side quests along with replay value. however, i agree that there needs to be a cinematic portion to it--it would take mmo's to the next step. a perfect mmo would beat a perfect regular rpg by principle. the potential is endless with mmo's.
@keaneee17 Actually, All MMO's Is Extremely lacking of "Story", WoW got a Half-Assed story... Feels like a Picture book :]
While Mass Effect has gotten Me Chained, Even moved my Bottomless heart... (Made me Save the Council, Yuck!) Mass Effect changed my Life, And the Story is something i should call "Epic"
I am proud to say, That mass effect is a Game i would play 24/7.
@0neofthem No online game can EVER have a good storyline. Offline RPGs with multiplayer features work SOMETIMES but rarely. Its wierd because the original RPG Dungeons and Dragons could only be fully enjoyed with a good group, but yeah i agree, mass effect was a masterpiece, and it wouldnt have been as good online. I cant wait to play mass effect 2, im a little late to the party but ive been strapped for cash...
If you can reach level 50 before going to virmire, you have the chance of buying the upgraded HWM X weapons, nothing beats them. But save your money because they cost ALOT. About 850,000 for the asault weapon and something like 1,300,000 for the Sniper rifle.
Yeah Rage armor is my favorite. The other two versions are nice aswell but not as nice as the Rage verion. Don't remember the names of the two others (blue/black and green/black). I think the green one is Battlemaster, isn't it?
OMFG i just finised mass effect like 20 mins ago and i watch all the credets then go resume game and it just keep bring me bact to the fight with searen can someone please help me it would mean alot
I'm glad someone else appreciates the Garrus Wrex combo. Mass Effect 2 has me even more excited now that I know Garrus is coming back. I just hope that Grunt can live up to Wrex's awsomeness. It's between Grunt and Thane for me right now, Garrus being a definite yes.
Tali is overrated. She's a tech geek, so what. Wrex kicks ass and actually has a good sense of humor. Pretty much the only character that made me laugh.
I played a soldier and a biotic. I tried engineer and didn't like it. It's like a soldier with lame biotics.
I went through the game twice with Liara/Garrus, Tali/Wrex. The sidequests are horrible so I didn't bother going fully as engineer with the uninteresting human characters.
wait how the hell is rex alive i always keep trying not to get him killed but that stupid bitch willams keeps killing him so can some one respond to me so how to keep him alive
yeah i know how you feel. first time she killed him for me too. But i was able to load a previous game and noticed that with enough intimidation skill i was able to talk him out of it (and get me an achivement)
I always wonder at this point, where exactly is the huge Turian fleet you hear about all through the game? The fleet that is supposedly the pride of the council or something, you'd presume that the fleet could have at least helped out a little...
@ArtemisXe I'm presuming that most of the Turian fleet was wiped out by the initial Geth attack and the Alliance fleet that Joker showed up with mopped up the remnants of whatever Geth forces were left.
yeah, i let them die without thinking. They never help you or believe you, and that damn turian councilor is the most racist fuck out there! whenever i would finish a major mission, hed have something to say that would just piss me off!
I just played beat it again today mainly cuz when I played through the first time I couldn't stop Wrex from getting shot by the biotch Ashley =\ so this time around I kept him alive so I could have him come back in ME2. But yeah, I still let the council die and chose Ashley as the party member to be killed off. Screw them both. haha.
Off subject- I'm totally psyched to see Garrus come back in ME2. He was my favorite character.
yeah I love Garrus too. But my favorite was Wrex, but in ME2 apparently he is a leader of a Krogan Homeworld, and I really hope u dont have to fight him! I will just stop playing instead of fighting him! But, in regards to what you said about Ashley, I like her - and i let Kaiden die every time! He is looks really douchey and i dont really like him.
And FINALLY: That chick Tali(the quarian) is so annoying i never ever talk to her or even bring her on a mission. I dont think anybody likes her!
i think this was the best ending overall, shows that even though the council was biased towards humanity, they showed that they could be part of it by sacrificing and saving the council. plus, anderson needs a job after being court-marshaled for letting shepard go AWOL :P

2) Yes the ship on Eden Prime is Sovereign. All the other reapers are holding outside of the galaxy. Sovereign was a vangaurd they left behind to open Citidal mass relay to let the reapers in. With Sovereign destroyed, that cannot come to pass.

You can start a new game with the same character to level him/her up some more but you can't continue your already beaten game.

AMEN!!!! I curse the day RPG's started to become soulless empty MMO's.
Online gaming should be restricted to shooters, sports, cars, and strategy games, but RPG's were meant to be inmersive cinematic experiences........
I hope bioware don't end up selling themselves because MMO's DO give A LOT more money than single-player games.
let's hope they choose to please their players rather than their pockets.

@Shakduhn: Both MMORPGs and standard RPGs can easily coexist. Both have their own unique strengths and weaknesses. MMOs aren't meant to have deep, compelling narratives.
madmaestro3000 1 year ago
@Shakduhn i disagree. mmo's have a huge potential to be incredible experiences, however making such a game is incredibly difficult. world of warcraft is probably the first rpg to go beyond the call of duty with their expansions, dungeons, and incredible side quests along with replay value. however, i agree that there needs to be a cinematic portion to it--it would take mmo's to the next step. a perfect mmo would beat a perfect regular rpg by principle. the potential is endless with mmo's.

@keaneee17 Actually, All MMO's Is Extremely lacking of "Story", WoW got a Half-Assed story... Feels like a Picture book :]
While Mass Effect has gotten Me Chained, Even moved my Bottomless heart... (Made me Save the Council, Yuck!) Mass Effect changed my Life, And the Story is something i should call "Epic"
I am proud to say, That mass effect is a Game i would play 24/7.

@0neofthem No online game can EVER have a good storyline. Offline RPGs with multiplayer features work SOMETIMES but rarely. Its wierd because the original RPG Dungeons and Dragons could only be fully enjoyed with a good group, but yeah i agree, mass effect was a masterpiece, and it wouldnt have been as good online. I cant wait to play mass effect 2, im a little late to the party but ive been strapped for cash...

Saving the council is a good deed...
And as Jacob says in Mass Effect 2, a good deed is like pissing yourself in dark pants, it's a warm feeling, but nobody really notices.
Anybody who plays ME2 will understand what I mean when I say this.
When I play again, I don't intend on saving them. I'm going to do Anderson a favor and not make him Councillor also.

If you can reach level 50 before going to virmire, you have the chance of buying the upgraded HWM X weapons, nothing beats them. But save your money because they cost ALOT. About 850,000 for the asault weapon and something like 1,300,000 for the Sniper rifle.

I'm glad someone else appreciates the Garrus Wrex combo. Mass Effect 2 has me even more excited now that I know Garrus is coming back. I just hope that Grunt can live up to Wrex's awsomeness. It's between Grunt and Thane for me right now, Garrus being a definite yes.

Have you not played as an Engineer yet? Until that happens, then you can't possibly understand what makes techies so amazing.
laneholden 2 years ago
I played a soldier and a biotic. I tried engineer and didn't like it. It's like a soldier with lame biotics.
I went through the game twice with Liara/Garrus, Tali/Wrex. The sidequests are horrible so I didn't bother going fully as engineer with the uninteresting human characters.
eviltube1111 2 years ago

I always wonder at this point, where exactly is the huge Turian fleet you hear about all through the game? The fleet that is supposedly the pride of the council or something, you'd presume that the fleet could have at least helped out a little...
ArtemisXe 2 years ago 4
@ArtemisXe I'm presuming that most of the Turian fleet was wiped out by the initial Geth attack and the Alliance fleet that Joker showed up with mopped up the remnants of whatever Geth forces were left.

assassinx12 2 years ago 3
Yeah, haha.
I just played beat it again today mainly cuz when I played through the first time I couldn't stop Wrex from getting shot by the biotch Ashley =\ so this time around I kept him alive so I could have him come back in ME2. But yeah, I still let the council die and chose Ashley as the party member to be killed off. Screw them both. haha.
Off subject- I'm totally psyched to see Garrus come back in ME2. He was my favorite character.
ravenrockga 2 years ago 2
yeah I love Garrus too. But my favorite was Wrex, but in ME2 apparently he is a leader of a Krogan Homeworld, and I really hope u dont have to fight him! I will just stop playing instead of fighting him! But, in regards to what you said about Ashley, I like her - and i let Kaiden die every time! He is looks really douchey and i dont really like him.
And FINALLY: That chick Tali(the quarian) is so annoying i never ever talk to her or even bring her on a mission. I dont think anybody likes her!
