I've completed ME1 on console, but after playing the ME2 demo on PC I'd much prefer to play it on here now. What do you actually lose, if anything, from not transfering an ME1 save to ME2 - does the character have more to start with than a new ME2 one?
 
Hold fire if you've not bought ME2 on PC yet. There's bound to be some kind of Ultimate Edition coming soon with all the DLC included. ;)
 
Use a save editor, easier. You don't have to bother running through ME1 doing things purely to find out the repurcusions in ME2, you just edit your ME1 history. Also means you can give yourself the credit bonus' you would get if you were a Rich lvl60 and you can give yourself loads of minerals so you don't have to bother with the tedium of planet scanning.

That depends on what you mean by best... if you mean easiest, Adept, if you mean the most powerful, Adept, if you mean the most entertaining, Adept... hmmm :p
Adept has enemies bouncing off the walls and the Pistol when using Master Marksman is 1 of the most powerful guns in the game.
 
Righty ho, I have ME2, and I'v never played it. I completed ME1 but it was on Xbox 360, and naturally I'm a bit gutted I can't carry over my character. Does this really matter? Am I missing out at all?

Well you could get ME1 for the PC (very cheap now), if you want to replay and carry over a save.

Well you could call it 'bonus content'. Most decisions boil down to minor comments that you overhear on the news network. Only certain major decisions like fate of the Rachni or town residents the Thorian mind-controlled and some minor ones actually make genuine appearances and they're all inconsequential really. Its also funny to go punch the news reporter again :p

You don't lose anything from just starting the default character and save editors solve the problem on repeat playthroughs.
 
I'm too lazy to play old games again.

If you were dead set on importing the save, why didn't you buy the 360 version of 2 then? It's the same price as the PC version at most stores :p

I suppose the controls and graphics are better as well as modding possibilities, but for the most part they play the same.

Speaking of mods, seems you can now play as Martin Sheen :p

Oh, and a West Wing parody to top it off:

EA are one of my accounts at work and they give me free games, this time around it was a ME2 download code.
 
Right, so today I decided to load an old Pre-IFF save, so I could do all the DLCs before going on the final mission.

I experienced a number of CTDs with LotSB, seemingly from overhearing my graphics cards.

Manually set them to 100% and didn't get any more crashes.

Just finished Arrival and Afterburner is showing one card maxing out at 79, and the other at 93!! That's a bit much for a well ventilated case with fans on full blast, no?
 
Are your cards at stock, or clocked ?

Dust build-up on the cards ? Have you tried giving both of them a clean ?
 
Stock, fans are clear, as are the filters on my case fans.

No other games give me any heat issues, and it's only LotSB and Arrival that do it, normal game doesn't seem to push the cards as much.
