Thread for people wanting help with the game mostly or asking for things that would relate to spoiler territory so we can keep the other thread clean! If you want to discuss the game in a manner that won't involve spoilers, then please visit the other thread, anything else that is close to spoilers or direct spoilers (including help at a certain part) then I would keep it in here so we don't spoil it for everyone else.

About the game said:
The galaxy is trapped in an endless cycle of extinction. Every 50,000 years, an ancient machine race invades the galaxy. With ruthless efficiency, the machines wipe out all advanced organic civilization. They leave behind only the scattered ruins of technology, destroying all evidence of their own existence.

Few believe this ancient legend. You, however, know it to be true. The fight to stop this extinction event has become the most important mission in the galaxy.
"You must act without remorse, without hesitation, and outside the limits of the law."

It is your mission. As Commander Shepard of the SS Normandy, you will take your elite recon squad across a galaxy in turmoil, in a desperate race to stop the return of an enemy without mercy. To stop this enemy, you must act without remorse, without hesitation, and outside the limits of the law. Your only imperative is to preserve the safety of civilized life in the galaxy - at any cost. You must become the tip of the spear of humanity, for you alone know the full extent of what is at stake if you should fail.

Not many posts in here !

I'll kick it off....

I'm about three hours in and I'm stuck in a battle I keep getting killed in. Is it possible I'm not powerful enough to do it? Bit of an RPG noob you see.

Cheers

Can't remember the name of the planet and I'm at work, but it's just after you get your own ship. It's the one where the colony is under attack and you go to help out. You go down into some tunnels and meet some weirdo who seems to be in pain. Straight after that you have a battle with some big guys who just seem to charge at me and kill everyone! Sorry for the poor description, I'm at work and can't remember all the names!

i know wher you are - i tried to lure one out at a time, if they charge just keep heading back and back.

You dont have to be a high level for it - also see about changing your ammo to try and get more damage to em :)

It was just before I had to leave for work so probably didn't give it the thought I should have. I'll give it another go tomorrow.
 
I need some clarification about something. It isn't really a spoiler but I will post it here anyway.

I'm not sure on how the first aid system works for squad mates. When you press 'Y' for first aid, does it automatically use the skill level from the character with the highest skill in first aid?
 
I've assumed that it gives them whatever the default is plus whatever bonus they have through the leveling system. Such as if someone had 3 points in it, someone had 10 points and someone had maxed it then it'd heal each people differently. This is just a guess really, and is the way that I've been thinking it works.
 
I can't remember exactly but doesn't the first aid description for other characters say something about healing 'all team members'?
 
Not sure, I'll check on it later. I guess it's another thing this game lacks - proper tutorials in game of what does what :)
 
If you are using a sniping rifle, is it possible to zoom in at all? I am holding LT like with the pistol but nothing happens?

BTW I am not a soldier, I am a kinetic ability user...
 
You need to be trained in the use of sniper rifles I believe. When you hold the left bumper to change weapon to the sniper it will say in brackets (untrained) if you are not trained in that weapon type.

*EDIT* I have a question about one of the side quests actually. I'm on the Citadel still because I want to complete all side quests and there is one I am having a bit of trouble with.

In the casino, Flux, I found a quazar gambling machine with some sort of money funneling system on it. I have to track down where the money is being transfered and it says that the signal is coming from the 'Wards access hall' but I don't know where this is or what exactly I am looking for. Can anyone help?

FGS, I thought I'd looked at everything in the Citadel before leaving :(

I think the Access Hall is where you first come in to the Wards, go back to the big room near the med centre where the cars are flying past fast and where the woman wanted you to get data for her.

Ok go outside persay and walk to the Wards bit - Itll have Acces To Wards written and a Keeper not to far by, follow the path round and you will come to a lift - use the ligft and in the next walkway its in there in a little alcove of peeps talking...
 
think am bugged or something..

Am trying to get the garge pass so am in the guys office trying to download info... but there are no options comming up to do so
 
Enjoying this tremendously.

Does anyone have any setups they prefer? Early on I mean,

I quite like the Toxic ammo for Vs Humanoid fights, But has anyone found anything good for fighting things like turrets and Artificial life forms?

I've litterally only just become a Spectre, So i'm very early on still. But i'm loving it, I just feel my team could do with better equipment.

I'm using Shepard, Ashley and Vakarian. All are best using Assault Rifles. Shepard is awesome with a sniper rifle too though (My prefered weapon at times)

Any upgrade advice out there?
