Yes. If I didn't do a name game+ it wouldn't be likely that I am level 30 on the Collector Ship. New Game+ doesn't give access to all the abilities, which can make it deceptive on how many points you have. It is also a NEW GAME.

Favorite loyalty quests:

Jacob and Tali are mine, though I really like Thane's and Samara's. Jacob's has a chilling atmosphere to it and his rage seems so legit. Good ending too, if you decide to go the cold justice route. Tali you get to be phoenix wright and a bit touching with what a great friend you can be. Totally floor her. Also Tali levels have the best music in the game. Can't recall which have the best bosses, but I remember Garrus being dreadful with the two mechs. Teammates just suck against those.

Want a real challenge? Do the smuggled cargo mission where you fight 3 YMIRs on Insanity.
For NG+ I'm just gonna lower the difficulty there, I already did everything on Insanity the first time around and I am not feeling like doing that crap again.

**BRP** · 2010-02-04 22:56

Yeah that was bullshit. Beat it by hiding behind those... things and lost all the crates. Dreading doing it again.

Oh, BRP... in your sig there, how do you dance so bad that she wants you to go away? When I danced with that Asari, she loved my moves.

God that fucked me over not thinking about it. I just spammed points on Miranda and ruined getting the full version of her loyalty power. :[

you have to pick the non-paragon/renegade dance option (in the top right corner) to get the crazy dance, if you choose one from the left side he'll do the subdued version

also I'm not really sure how it's so hard to get the abilities you want on allies on a 2nd playthrough. You can just look at the total points before you beat it the first time time (miranda and I think one other person gets 30 points, everyone else gets 29) and when you start up your 2nd playthough (or 3rd, if you've already messed up #2) you can just make sure you don't spend the points you're planning on using for the loyalty abilities (the first point of which is free and automatic) until you unlock them.

Stuck on the last part of Grunt's recruit quest on insanity. Not enough ammo for a nuke, Garrus and Mordin, the krogan flank me from the right side and the YMIR mech from the other side, no good cover for anything. I've killed 3 krogan at the most before I die.

**Thulius** · 2010-02-05 00:56

I guess I got lucky there. Went with the same team, but when I did that mission the mech stayed on the bottom floor. I just turned off squad power usage and unloaded (Incinerate, warp, shoot until armor is gone and have Garrus use concussive shot) whenever a krogan came up. The mech was easy after all the krogan were down, but before that I just hid from it. I can't imagine how you would manage with them both flanking you.

Try getting the mech to shoot at you as often as possible? As long as it stays on the bottom floor it really shouldn't be much trouble.

**Eliseos** · 2010-02-05 00:58

Yeah there was one time the mech glitched and it stayed behind the krogan pods (that was also the time where I killed the most krogan before dying). Do you know how many krogan are spawned there before they stop? I can't imagine it's more than 4 or 5, but I used the nuke on Jedore right away the first time I played it and it ended when she was killed.

EDIT: The only good cover spot is the first pod that's on the side you start on, but if I can't kill the krogan quickly it just runs up and raeps.

**Atreides** · 2010-02-05 01:13

has anyone seen all the dialogues you can have with Mordin about his sexual advice based on your current romance? some of them are pretty hilarious

Tali:

Spoiler: show

Garrus:

Spoiler: show

Thane:

Spoiler: show

I nearly pissed myself when he implied licking Thane would induce hallucinations

The one with Miranda (I think it's the same for Jack) is pretty great too, he talks about how to incorporate biotic abilities to spice up the sex.

**Thulius** · 2010-02-05 01:21

I'm not sure if it's because I talked to him so much or just because I hadn't pursued a relationship at that point, but the conversation I got from him was hilarious.

I can't find it on youtube, but he thought I was interested in him. He made it pretty clear the feeling wasn't mutual.

**Akucaen** · 2010-02-05 01:24

Oh god those are great.

that happened to me alot today as well, tried to start a new game and i wasnt able to make it past the loading screen to pick my class

**Akucaen** · 2010-02-05 01:38

That kept happening to me with my femshep (which is my 4th playthrough now.) Didn't happen on any of my manshep runs.

**Nitsuki** · 2010-02-05 01:41

In those vids, the first one w/ the male shephard talking about tali, i couldn't help but laugh every time i saw shephard. I mean look at his fucking face, that motherfucker looks like a straight up stereotype thief/mexican/creep all in one. No offense to mexicans, being hispanic myself, i just found it extremely funny at first glance.

Or better yet, he looks like a white version of Waldo from Family Matters.

Props to Gamestop. I fudged up my first pre-order code and after a couple of back and forth emails they sent me a new one. Was pretty surprised.

**Nightraid** · 2010-02-05 03:16

Has anyone noticed that sometimes when your just running around/exploring your Character will get stuck on elevated areas like Railings and Barriers.

Its happened to me a few times

Makes me have to reload last save which sucks if i get far.

Is the blurred name supposed to be Tali? Cause alot of the dialogue options are the same as with male sheps

He said it to me because I was flirting with all the female crew.

**Charismatic** · 2010-02-05 10:55

Is that supposed to be a parody of the girl whose brother posted her hook up list on FB or is that really a common practice for females?
