is it all at least one level like in KOTOR? I know they got rid of elevators but having to go through a load screen instead will be as annoying.

Thane is like Garrus, only better, cuz he has a sniper rifle and biotics.

Afraid to read the thread for fear of spoilers so hopefully this isn't already mentioned. Anyone in canada able to get this game, 2 places I've called don't even have it at all, even in the back, so I'm wondering if there was some problem with shipping here (BC). One of the guys was indian and probably couldn't understand me so it's possible he was standing in front of 100 copies and didn't know it.

How the hell do you shoot the nuke launcher

Be far away

From what I can tell, have 100 ammo+. Doesn't matter how far away you are, each shot took 100 ammo and capped (for me) at like 160. It was fun to use (and you should /really/ save it for the ending), but a bitch to get ammo for since you pick it up 10-15 at a time.

Spoiler: show

Final Mission spoiler w/o bringing up ending:

Spoiler: show

Well I did the final mission and lost one crew member and my entire staff save the doctor(though I don't know if they can be saved, I sure fucking hope so - I want the two engineers). It was weird because the chef and someone else was clearly alive within the cutscene. I was so amped up too because it looked like it was one giant close-call, but then they showed a dead teammate I never even used for the mission(Merlon) on the floor for 2 seconds.

I am going to guess when someone gets killed off screen it is because you are taking too long. This may be the case for crew, the defense team, and maybe the 2nd specialist. When the specialist gets killed it is probably because s/he doesn't have the correct skills. Thane got headshotted, Tali was fine(I was so worried, gawd this game is tapping into my emotions). Probably will have to work on it.

Also I am a little annoyed that they don't show off everyone until you are standing before the path for the final boss. I wanted to see 11 dudes wreck shit together in the cutscenes.

Another thing, while I am hoping for a "full-cast" save, I get the feeling almost no one is coming back. It seems like ANYONE can die(even Shepard?) and that adds a lot of variables which can make voice acting difficult.

I used Legion, Grunt, and me(Soldier, with anti-armor/health bullets for the whole team) the whole time. Team is sick and keeping Harbringer off you. Garrus and Meranda were my fire team leaders. Then I went Tali and Samara for my specialist

Ending:

Spoiler: show

I don't know if I want to betray the Illusive Man... I seriously love that guy, my favorite character in the game. Has anyone tried to please him? Can you tell me the results? Well I am just glad he wasn't revealed to be the final boss or anything, that would be stupid.

Another small complaint: I was really hoping for a better set of character endings. One sentence per character in a bit meh, especially with Jacob hoping to party all over the Citadel.

EDIT: I get the feeling if Shepard died, you get to play as his clone in 3. lol

Well my 26 hour ME2 streak is done. Perhaps I should sleep before I continue to ramble on.

[Kuya]

When do you get Tali anyway? I am hoping i did not miss a chance to get her, since i did not tell her to come with us in Freedom's Progress.

Spoiler: show

Easily my biggest gripe with the ending. Garrus is still working on those calibrations? Really, Bioware?

In the case of your ship's crew, I believe there's a timer that starts counting down right after the collectors take them away, and the time between then and when you launch the final mission determines how many of them stay alive. As far as I know, the only person on your squad that can't die is Joker, and I might even be wrong about that.

I'm with you on the returning cast though; I have a hard time imagining how they'd compensate for all of the different possible outcomes without limiting them to cameos and sidequests, like most of the ME1 cast in ME2.

When do you get Tali anyway? I am hoping i did not miss a chance to get her, since i did not tell her to come with us in Freedom's Progress.

You didn't miss anything, you'll be able to get her after you finish off your first set of Dossiers.

um, just started the game. was helping archangel and picked up the assault rifle off the couch, but can't seem to figure out how to equip it through the weapons locker.

is it archangel equipable only or something?
