I am excited for Mass Effect 2 -- I hope it delivers when it comes out!

can't wait number 3

No kidding I want it now. Luckily, it won't be a three year wait this around as they're aiming for a release sometime next year.
 
Just to let everyone know, the Firewalker DLC has been released yesterday. It's free and it includes the Hammerhead vehicle, 5 missions, weapons, and alternate costumes. You have to log into the main menu of the game because it's through the Cerberus Network in order to download it. There is another download that is 160 Microsoft Points that has a costume for Thane, Garrus, and Jack.

On April 6 there will be another download for 560 MP and it includes the new character Kasumi and her loyalty mission, loyalty power and a sub-machine gun.
 
Looks like the new DLC wont make it on time as promised. Ive seen nothing on the marketplace, few scattered discussions of achievements updating on the dash, but with 90 minutes left here in the UK, the 6th is looking less and less likely.
 
I started the download at 2am last night, but got pissed off waiting so im finishing it off this afternoon. Granted it was only a few hours late, but still no apologies.
 
Not a bad character, only just finished her loyalty mission on veteran (pretty tough going regardless), had to start a new playthrough to play her mission. I look forward to seeing how the game goes with her by my side on a few missions.

What we all think?

I like her (a lot better than Zaeed in fact), I'm going to start my Renegade playthrough with her so that she's with me through out the whole game. Why did you have to start a new playthrough? I just loaded up my Paragon playthrough (which was completed) and she was there.

Is it worth the points, though?

When Xbox Live decided to get off its ass and work with that last update, I'm considering to buy it.
 
All my playthroughs were finished, so I had to start another with an imported character to get to her. This is probably the 7th time through, last one was to try and get the sexy dance from Kelly, but I didnt get it, so this time, charm the pants (and mask) off Tali. Only one I havent is Jack, but im not a fan of her so im not gonna bother going there.
 
i know this is SUPER late but i just finished ME1...what choice did you all make? spare the council....let the council die?
i let the council die i had to beat saren and the ship.
now i will do the DLC and then onto ME2
Yea im behind but i got caught up playing Fallout3 for like 4 months and never played any other games that is why i am just finishing ME1

On my Paragon playthrough I saved the council. On my Renegade playthrough I let them die.

You destroy sovereign regardless of saving the destiny ascension, you just lose a few human ships in the process. Careful though, when you import your character over it has subtle and sometimes not so subtle effects on your ME2playthrough.

In fact, darkwarrior, I dont know if youll agree, which one is preferable to the playthrough. In every ME1 playthrough I let the council die, so I had to start anew for the renegade ending (Which ME2 new playthroughs assume on), I can see the benefits of both, but im torn over which i prefer.

I haven't started my Renegade playthrough on ME2 yet but when my Paragon met with the council in ME2 they still acted like jerks towards me. Luckily I only had to see them once but who knows what will happen in ME3.

ok just to be more of a pain in the ass.
i just DL'd the DLC content but my last save was right before facing Saren for the 1st time at the citadel....so my questions is... I guess i have to start a new game to play the 2 DLC's cause i cannot get to the galaxy map from my last save spot?
is this more of a pain in the ass for me just having to do the beginning of the game again up until i can control the ship and get to the galaxy map? and then i guess i have no crew who have high skill levels?
why? why do i do stupid stuff like this?

They rectified that in ME2. When you beat the final mission you can elect not to close out the game so that you can complete any side missions that you skipped and DLC that you added.

What about ME1? i have to start over? to do "bring down the sky" and the other DLC?
 
Yep, use the same character again and youll bring all your personal equipment with you, you can rank up you allies straight away and re-equip them from your stash. Beause you lose all recruited allies, all their stuff goes back to your inventory.

It only takes about an hour to get spected up and back out on the normandy, in which case head straight for pinnacle station. Bring down the sky I think you can do anytime up until Ilos.

DO NOT play pinnacle station on insanity.
