    The helmet used to auto-remove for important dialogue if you had it equipped, so you could actually see Shep talking. Now it doesn't, it always stays on if you have it equipped. (I'm talking standard N7 armor---DLC armor always has it on period--which I also don't like---Shep would look very cool in Blood Dragon armor with the helmet off) So I'm playing without a helmet. PS---already a game update, but I didn't notice anything different. Only real issue/bug I've seen is that scrolling some text boxes with right-stick is IMPOSSIBLE to read all the lines--it just jumps from top to bottom, if the box is a certain size. (also, left-stick and d-pad is too slow to scroll through the codex)

    I like ME 1 better, gameplay-wise. ME 2 blows it away for cinematics, but I much prefer the powers/armor/weapons style of the first. I think asides from Shepard, everyone is "locked" into their default armor/appearance. I liked altering my party's appearance and stats. Also, so far, every armor upgrade for Shep has sucked, appearance-wise. I want LESS bulky and sleeker armor, not even bigger and more angular. It already looks like heavy to start with, I want medium/light not "massive". (not as light as what Miranda's wearing, but what Femshep has now would practically be overkill for Ashley).

    Bonuses seem to be pretty basic: Money, a few extra skill points, some basic materials/items, a free level or two. Unless level 60 is VERY different than the other bonuses, I seriously doubt it's at all worth it. Stop playing ME 1 and start ME 2. (I had level 59 and the game specifically said level 59 bonuses, so I figure I have ALMOST everything you can)

    I saw the mass fleet gatherings at K7 and Earth in prep for the Klingon invasion, but ME 2 arrived before it happened, so I logged off. I took hundreds of screen caps during the beta---including kaio and me fighting off Romulans last night.

    I was rammed by a Klingon Vor'cha, but I was at full health so it didn't do much. (also he was so close I don't think he had room/time to accelerate much) Now, being close to a Sovereign class when it blows---that'll take you with it! Apparently there is an admiral-level ability for "self-destruct"---and if it's more than a standard warp-core breach, it should be a heck of a boom.

    I've got a spare Inferno armor code. Would like to trade for a Terminus armor code if possible.

    I listed every achievement which is known for sure. Anything more than that is probably a spoiler. I'd bet money on the ally achievements counting for something though.
  8. David Hingtgen
    Plot points seem to give way more XP than any enemy. ::edit:: I just got my code for Inferno armor.

    Same here---2 plays on same character, ended on 59. Level 60 WILL get a specific bonus in ME 2. AFAIK the bonuses are for levels 40, 50, and 60. And they are picky--you have to have won with the character. I started yet one more playthrough and just blew through to Therum, and got Liara in the party in barely over an hour and hit level 60, as the beginning of the game has a TON of plot XP points. But it would have taken hours and hours and hours of playing at the end of the previous playthrough to go from 59 to 60. So I got my level 60 achievement/gamer score, but it won't count for ME 2. I've heard of people starting at 54 and not making it to 60. I went from 51 to 59. (and that's with every XP bonus there is) Another known bonus in ME 2 is for the "rich" achievement--but that's easy to get before the end of the very first playthrough. I actually died less on Insanity than Hardcore. Either I got better, or Colossus armor made all the difference.

    No new thread. And people better spoiler-proof EVERYTHING.

    Don't hide your cables. Visible cables are a manly thing. A dozen or two black cables snaking across the wall to the back of a TV says "I don't care about feng-shui or some sense of wall-aesthetic, I care about image quality and direct connections". Heck, I have brightly-colored cables so I know where each one's going. (My PS3 cable is blue, X360 is green, etc)
  12. David Hingtgen
    Personally, I think tons of cables everywhere all going to a TV is a beautiful thing.

    I think I found the flight. Will have to see how the tracking info updates.
  14. David Hingtgen
    No, the "play from the HDD" file is separate from all the other files associated with the game. I install and delete every week. (man, I wish I had room for 2 games at once)

    Final day, went on a tour of the galaxy. Klingon space isn't open though. Anyways; The badlands: Hobus supernova remains (I think): Remains of Romulus: Me dying up against a Romulan squadron: Bajoran wormhole was open when I went to DS9 again. It closed after a minute or two: Then I found the most fun mission ever! I saw some Federation ships marked as "enemy contact" just a bit "east" of Bajor, so I had to investigate. The mission said Reman, but they seemed to be renegade Starfleet. Neat stuff here. Saw my first Defiant-class: This is me about to die against a +19 Sovereign-class: This is me dying against 2 Sovereigns, a Luna, a Sol, and probably something else: The Prometheus killed me so fast I couldn't get a pic of it. Did you know they can do over 22,600pts of damage in a single attack? Yeah. I didn't even get a "rear shields failing" warning, I just went straight from 100% to a big flaming ball... This is me taking down a Sovereign class. (with a little help from a Defiant, some Norways, and an Akira)

    That's nothing. I check flights into my airport from the shipping hubs, trying to watch for delays. Flightaware.com Memphis is KMEM, for FedEx. Louisville is KSDF, for UPS.

    Found the biggest fleet and ground groups so far, very fun. Probably be about the last thing I experience though. (I still don't plan on buying it---the missions seem to be just cut and paste copies of each other, and still no Excelsior/Ambassador/Nebula class---and if they come out later, what's the point---everyone will have Sovereigns by then) PS---has anyone posted a pic of their captain? If not I'll start. Aliens are still quite rare, and I haven't seen another Kobali yet.
  19. David Hingtgen
    Same for me, and I too changed the folder to "STO" instead of Cryptic. (I hate having programs within layers and layers of folders---anything more than 2 folders deep is too deep---and who on earth actually arranges programs by publishing company?)
  20. David Hingtgen
    I was looking for the wormhole when I was at DS9, never saw it.
  21. David Hingtgen
    Hey, this time they actually notified people that it was shutting down--8 min notice, too. Logged out at the Laurentian system. mike---no idea about the screen probs, I merely hit prtscrn and that's what I get. The game simply doesn't "record" the HUD.
  22. David Hingtgen
    No retailer has Blood Dragon armor for ME2--you get it from having Dragon Age's. And almost every retailer gave out Blood Dragon armor for DA:O.
  23. David Hingtgen
    Anyone want to add themselves to the "MW aliases on Live" list? I imagine there'll be quite a few "online playing Mass Effect 2" statuses on Tuesday night.
  24. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, I was wondering about the height too---do you have to constantly crane your neck up?
  25. David Hingtgen
    Don't forget the Blood Dragon armor! Easiest of the "limited" ones to get.
