I was looking forward to a man loving myself!

Clairvoyant · 12 Dec 2007 at 22:01

OK I have a question.

Im missing the middle char from my squad. Where do I get him from. Im doing all the side missions, as I get them.

I am currently on the Planet (well all ready done it) where you first face Saren (the nuke planet).

Do I have to pop Wrex (or someone else pop him). Is there any way to keep him alive. I had him in my squad. Oh and I also had to lose another char.

Can you get any more to join your squad, or is that it. Once they are gone they are gone.

Zefan · 12 Dec 2007 at 22:04

I'm not sure if I'm just being slow, but could you rephrase that?

Umm

The only character you dont get on the citadel is the bird - cant think of her name... lol you get here after completing the mission in the Atremus Tao Clsuter, Liari or something. The rest you get on the citadel

Only Wrex you can "lose" from your squad, but you dont *have* to - once you lost him though thats it cant get him back

Clairvoyant · 13 Dec 2007 at 00:29

Wrex I shot.

I had to choose between ashly and kilan (or how ever they are spelt). I am down to 3 members in my squad.

GTanny · 13 Dec 2007 at 00:50

quick question.

when you level up do the enemys level up or is it a case of if you grind for a bit you make it quite easy or more a no matter how much you grind its always gonna be the same sort of difficulty???

only reason i ask is this ruined oblivion for me, leveled up quite early at the fighting arena only to find when i left everything was tougher then when i was at a low level which doesnt seem to make much sense to me... i levelled up to be stronger then them not the other way around!!! also ive never played KOTOR as im not a big star wars fan but love the FF series (not including 10)

Zefan · 13 Dec 2007 at 00:54

It depends which difficulty setting you chose. On normal setting the average enemies don't level up with you, but some bosses do.

thats cool, i dont mind bosses levelling up as it could make them too easy if you grind for a bit but normal enemys im glad dont... lets see if the misses takes the hint of "get me mass effect for xmas" then

yaboy · 13 Dec 2007 at 01:19

I used that glitch in game to get paragon/renegade acehivement easy

But going through it again, second time through is much hard on hardcore mode I think it is

Reeve · 13 Dec 2007 at 10:18

Am i right in thinking that because i didnt change my difficulty to hardcore when i was still on the normandy at the beginning(i had it on hardcore in character selection anyway) i wont get the achievement and wont be able to unlock legendary??

I think i read something about that on here.....just thought i would check to make sure i read right

You have to have it set on Hardcore before you leave the Normandy - then completed the game - to unlock Insanity mode - otherwise you won't unlock it.

Bah it of a pain really as i was hoping to start on of legendary for my next playthrough. Going to start off as an evil infiltrator(not played as a baddie yet) for my final run :cool:

, dont know if i can be bothered to playthrough an additional time on legendary after that

DEL 707 · 13 Dec 2007 at 17:22

Playing though on my female character, I decided to see what it would be like to Kill Wrex, saved my game since he was a regular in my parties.

Have to say, it must be 1 of the most bad ass scenes in any game I've played :eek:

well apart from it being in todays society socially acceptable we dont have to put up with it are very homes.

I forgot I had raised this point, I think it was wrong of Bioware to have one and not the other and shows a lack of confidience in the gaming audience maturity. Which seems to be correct from some of the reactions this disscusion can raise.

Also when did this become the spoilers thread? The event with Wrex is a pretty major spoiler for ppl that will be getting this game around xmas isn't it?

Wrex was the top char I would have in most of y squads.

I tried every thing I could not to shot him. But if I did not do it Ash did.

Guys, keep the spoilers out of this thread, that's what the other one is for

Lol, I've still got at least three playthroughs to go - bad-ass woman infiltrator, my main on Insanity (need to get 'im to 60, and such), another guy - and probably some other guys in order to get the companion achievements.

I think it was more to do with the target audience which is always male as far as games are concerned. I dont think the majority of males want to see or even think about 2 men having sexual intercourse... a man and a woman or 2 women is fair game though

I havent done a playthrough to level 60 yet, i like starting off fresh and i think the game gets a bit too easy late game, i know it seemed a lot harder at the start. With a shocktrooper soldier equipped with colossus armor i dont think i can possibly die now and i remember dieing pretty easily at the start especially when i tried to do the wrex mission as soon as i left the citadel, which is hard regardless of difficulty. I might rush through for a second time with my infiltrator if i end up liking it

I didnt think i would like using a sniper rifle much but its actually a pretty decent weapon to use(useless at the start though) which is why im going to use an infiltrator for my next run through, being a tank gets boring......

It's quite fun when you put the High Explosive X rounds on the sniper rifle - adds another second or so cooldown, but even if you just miss, they get flung halfway across the room/area/place

theo · 14 Dec 2007 at 02:54

high explosive rounds i found are useless, i prefered having enough heat sink material on my weapons enabling them to fire constantly, whilst HE rounds negates that and more but doesn't make up for it with damage... very funny firing enemies off mountains though
