When you get a blue or red option, you should take those instead of the white ones. ME1 isn't like this as much but it's super important for ME2 and ME3 to stick to one path in dialogues when it comes to those colors. The reason being that many characters will live or die depending on Shepherd's "reputation." Regardless of paragon or renegade (they're not necessarily good vs evil, more like diplomat vs asshole), picking those options tend to lead to the best outcomes which determines A LOT of ME2s 2nd half and ALL of ME3. Unfortunately the games don't really explain this mechanic well so you learn it from multiple playthroughs, and you only realize it until AFTER you accidently killed one of your friends because Shepherd couldn't convince them with a white option.

I think I'm reading what you're putting down and I agree

So you guys have already met "them" by going to Noveria, oh man, pro tip; keep those things away from you, they do a crap ton of damage up close. Also you guys know you got a cannon when you are in the mako? (the tank you guys rode to get up to the station) try to use it next time, its very fun to use on troopers walking on the ground :)

Without spoiling too much, there are some romances in Mass Effect 2 that aren't in Mass Effect 1, in case the two options in 1 aren't as appealing to you. I think 2 will have an option you'd really like.

Unfortunately or maybe fortunately, Bioware just completely forgot to state the rules for the puzzle or even give a hint. Here's how the puzzle works: - The goal is to move all the blocks from one column while in the same cone formation. - Each move will always be for the disc at the top of the column. - You cannot move a disc if there's another disc on top of where it is, or a disc above where it'll go. Just in case you wanted to know the Solution for the Memory Core puzzle is this: Square > Triangle, Square > Circle, Triangle > Circle, Square > Triangle, Circle > Square, Circle > Triangle, Square > Triangle, Square > Circle, Triangle > Circle, Triangle > Square, Circle > Square, Triangle > Circle, Square > Triangle, Square > Circle, Triangle > Circle

After playing this game so many times, I either use the money glitch or just a MOD since I play the game on my PC.

Fun Fact: The Lorik Qui'in quest is bugged where the ERCS guards say they are going to leave you alone but end up attacking you. Also, make sure to bring up the Power Wheel with R1 on the controller to use your teams powers. If you don't want to worry about what powers your teammates use then, in the settings, change the option for squad powers to "All" instead of "Defensive".

Glad you guys seem to take interests in learning about the other species and their cultures! One of my favorites parts of the game tbh. They really thought about how each culture and species would interact with each other

I think playing through the games as both male and female shepards is probably required for completionists like me ๐
Mosh Mia
Or Garrus!
Mosh Mia
Liara For Male Sheps. Kaidan For Female Sheps! Or vice versa!
Mosh Mia
Just to let you guys know there is an important decision coming up in this section. One that would affect the next games.
Mosh Mia
This Puzzle was annoying the first time i did it. Man it takes me back.
Mosh Mia
Garrus in no 1, then Liara, Tali, Kaidan, Wrex for me

Ngl Ashley comes across quite terrible here. Her character does get better in the later games though. Not my favourite though.
Knight Spearhead
Sadly theres no chance to save the security officer with the stick up her butt as beth said lol, one of the disappointments rp ways in me1
Knight Spearhead
With the amount of times ive replayed/watched ME the "USER ALERT" VI lives rent free in my head ๐
Knight Spearhead
Typically ill sell all the extra equipment i have you can be rich by the end of the game if you collect and horse everything like i do in games Lol But the VI puzzle is one of the harder ones in ME i always google it Lol
Knight Spearhead
Fyi as well im not sure how far youve gotten in pre-recording but the "Virimire" planet quest is the point of no return for ME1, there is a DLC content on the moon in SOL(earth) and one other one that arent essential to the quests but the moon DLC makes reference to a character in the future

Not the christmas song in august ๐

Element Zero the element that causes the biotics to born, is the same element that charges Space flight

The "Boot Camp" convo with ashley @ 25:00 is a result of you choosing the soldier class, each othe classes get you unique interactions eventually with the crew members that hold said class this is one of the only ones with Soldier though sadly
