Mass Effect playthrough, which class?

Started my first ME 2 play through today. Haven't quite warmed to the new combat yet get loving it so far all the same. I see my femshep character has already started flirting with Jacob but I'm hoping to get fired in to Miranda if I can't get my wee blue alien bird back from the first one. Don't tell me though - I'm looking forward to finding out for myself...

What's with the Citadel in ME2 - just the 2 levels of a Ward and the Presidium? Can't you go outside and explore it like you could in the first ME?

Ah.. I remember that feeling of disappointment.

ME1 Citadel = :eek:
ME2 Citadel = :confused:


edit:

It can't only be me who believes that Mass Effect is somewhat believable? I just know out in space is a giant Citadel style ship with loads of species. We just haven't been invited yet.
 
Still not liking the new combat - my only biotic power is taking me right into the middle of the enemy. Where is all the different ammo upgrades, armour and weapons? Is it all research? Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying it ok so far but I thought ME 2 would have been an improvement on the original but so far - it seems a bit lazy....
 
It's probably just a bit of a culture shock. The combat in ME2 is way better. The ammo is selected via skills now. There are many, many less weapons, probably about 10 max. And armour is fixed just customizable by different parts that you can buy in the shops.
 
Yeah maybe - all those review can't be wrong...

Edit: No hold on a minute - just remembered another thing worth ranting about - where is the moon buggy!? To hell with this scanning and launching probe nonsense...

They made it more action orientated. Now you need clips for your weapons. But I guess they wanted you to use the biotic powers more. You can do proper combos now and create biotic explosions which is great fun.
 
Played ME1 years ago on Xbox but never got around to 2 or 3. Reading this thread has made me want to play through them all. Currently installing that mod from page 1 :D

I spent many, many hours doing every inch of every planet to ensure I had enough of each resource. By the end I had way more than I needed.

I think the game mechanic may have worked better on consoles, with a controller.

Wait till you get that skill upgraded all the way. IIRC at top tier it has a 50% chance to be instantly recharged which means you can smash so many enemies insanely fast! Doubled with a shotgun = :D
 
Okay so playing ME1 with the MEUITM mod and the game crashes when the prologue is over and they're heading to the Citadel for the first time. Popup window says some file is missing. Any ideas?

Did you go through the readme and do all the pre-requisites? If I remember correctly there's something you need to do to MassEffect.exe and changes to make to bioengine.ini.

Yeah I installed the LAA and the tweaks to the .ini file before installing the mod.

EDIT: Verified game files and it seems to be working now :D

Just ordered the trilogy on Amazon for a tenner. Never played through Mass Effect before, despite liking loads of bioware stuff. Thanks for the heads up on the HD texture pack. I'm downloading that now :)
