Aboubt 15 hours in and im obsessed i cant stop playing.

Word of advice keep your charm or intimidate maxed out allways, infact i always keep spare points incase they open up. They REALLLLY help you in the quests and without them you have to do a lot of things the hard way.

Dont think thats really a spoiler, just a tip that if you dont know could kinda screw you later on. Dont put points on both just one as you only need one of them.

***SPOILER ***

I am so annoyed, just done the the mission of some planet where you set off the Nuke, and Ashley has bloody died!! I had to make the choice who to go and help, so I helped the person in the AA tower as I was pretty much there already. Didn't relise Ashley would die

Loving the game though

If you go to her then the same happens to him

Yeah I thought so. I just wish I had started the mission using people that I don't actually use. I use Ashley and Kaiden all the time, but now she is gone

i think its inevitable, no matter who you choose as the normandy is near during that part of the mission

ScarySquirrel · 6 Jan 2008 at 20:51

Oh, so 1 of those two has to die? Even if I took, say Wrex and Liara?

I assumed that as I had Ash and Kai in my team, they were the two I had to chose between.

Thinking about it you may be right, as it forces you to choose your new team just before... cant remember now

Ash or Kaiden have to die as you choose which one goes with the Selarians

Choose Ash for the sexy time

Even if you have started the whole planet with 2 other crew members?

It is probably better Ash dies, as I am a soldier so she is just another me.

Yeah when you get to the base and Wrex takes a strop - a cinematic starts with ask and Kaiden, and they argue about something - then you choose which one goes off with the selarians.

Haha yeah, I'd agree with that! I haven't given it much time yet but the couple of hours I did play were fantastic and I know I haven't even started to scratch the surface.

Haly · 6 Jan 2008 at 21:33

Give it a few hours till you get into the characters

I've found that the case with most of Bioware's RPGs, little slow at the start but then amazing

Kainz · 6 Jan 2008 at 21:35

Yes, and be rude to everyone

Yeah, it's fun XD

But I was only doing it for the acheivement of Renegade, but then I found that glitch to get it within 5mins. ;D

Yeah I know. What I am saying is do I have to choose between Kaiden and Ashley at this point even if I DIDN'T have them as my 2 shore party members?

I found it pretty awesome from the get go. I have recently got to level 31 or something though and I am finding it much more enjoyable as I have some wicked weapons now.

I have been doing a bit of both, but I am mostly Paragon. Do You have to be completely renegade or completely paragon to get the achievements? How did you get them in 5 mins?

Kainz · 6 Jan 2008 at 22:41

For the paragon ones, you just need to be good or bad up to 75% of that bar, and you'll get the achievement. Had no idea there was a glitch though.

You only choose at the point where whoever is setting the bomb gets attacked by Geth and you have to 'make a choice'. It HAS to be one of these two.
