Is there any way to get the old ME1 font back for the subtitles and dialogue choices? I don't like this new one they've gone for.
 
I went for a more battle hardened look lol

Double click and being able to use scroll wheel in menus would be nice.

One thing that has really bugged me though, I have completed it once now already and wanted to do New Game+ but I fancied a change of class and it wont let me :(

So now I'm starting all over just with my ME1 bonuses instead, usually play as soldier but fancied trying out infiltrator this time round.
 
Just finished it, overall think its a much more rounded game than the first one, and more fun.

Liked the way there is no garauntee of surving the final mission, however I felt the overall ending pretty weak.

Looking forward to ME3 though.
 
One thing about the storyline that bothers me is that nobody shows any emotion the first time they Shephard again. I won't give anything away, but seriously... you'd think folk would act more surprised!

To me they did show some surprise but more often than not scorn because of the Cerberus connection. Surely, if you'd been under the command of a chap you really got on with, you would actually be happy to see him regardless of what he was up to? :confused:

I just finished as well. LOVED IT. Favourite game ever and I reckon could be the greatest series of all time if the third progresses as much as this. Happiest bit for me? Everyone survived :D
 
Afterlife is AMAZING!

Quick question, in ME1 you could select your squad and they'd make some remark about the area they're in. I can't seem to do this in ME2. Is it gone?

Rather than talk to them direct, the game has "hot spots" in the locations whereby you can get a squad member's opinion of the surroundings.

Another one for you all, how 'religious' have you been about scanning planets? I've scoured the opening system with Omega but I might die of old age if I have to do that across the whole galaxy! Still, it's less tedious than the Mako.

I'm tending to just do the planets in the systems where I need to go for missions. But I give them a thorough going over.

Ditto, I was quite dissapointed with the one scene.... well, I'm guessing its easy enough to guess what that is.

I suspect in some cases its difficult with the Kaiden/Ashley setup and also the Wrex one, because you've got to cater for different choices made in the previous one, and adapt scene's and interactions for each eventuality.

They've done a brilliant job that I've seen so far, but yeah I agree, the reunion scenes needed more substance.

I think one thing that perhaps we're not thinking about is the time - it's been over 2 years since they last saw him. A lot can happen in that time.

I'll also comment on the fact that the inter-squad banter and chat is really limited. In ME1, you'd have some great conflicts between different characters - but so far, I've had nothing at all, which is a shame.

And Grunt isn't a patch on Wrex. Bring back Wrex!
