Agreed , magnificent.
As for the glitch with grunt.
I would go to the developers forums and see if you can access the developer console somehow to set the mission to complete, manually.

If you wanna try to keep grunt alive and you cant finalize his loyalty somehow.
You might want to send grunt back with the team that takes the survivors to the normandy.
He might die later, but he won't die at least until after that lol..

I'm actually worried about grunt.

Spoiler

It may of been a bad idea to wake him up.
He seems hell bent on causing war.
Not like Urdnot, Grunt might not be able to stop killing.
Even after the war.

ME = 2 * ME2

I've beat ME1 close to a dozen times now and I can't complain. I barely beat ME2 three times before getting mad bored. I doubt I'll ever beat it again.


Side note about Harbinger:

Spoiler

I think Harbinger is not a Collector. Rather it is a Reaper possessing the husks that are Collectors. The question is: Where is Harbinger's ship? The most probable answer: one of the Reapers heading to the Milky Way galaxy. The Collector station can remotely link to the Reaper ship allowing Harbinger to remotely control anything Collector without being present like is required in ME. Additionally, that explains why we don't see the red sparks everywhere.

The Collectors were probably trying to build that Reaper so that Harbinger could take its form and begin preperations for the return of the Reapers. Without a Reaper ship, a Reaper doesn't have a conduit to exist.

As to Grunt:

Spoiler

If you have his loyalty, the last thing he says is: "I have everything. Clan, kin, and enemies to kill."

He sounds to me about as stable as any other Krogan. The only difference is he is still immature (being probably just a few months old) while Wrex was/is probably centuries old. He'd get more level-headed with time, I'd guess.

i is sad... i just bough ME2 and my xbox, on the very same day, gave me the E74 red ring error

 

[FordGT90Concept]

I know someone that almost beat ME2 and it died just before the final battle. You are not alone.

Ouch man.. painful..
People wonder why I recommend a pc vs console..
gonna take weeks to get that back from repair.. ug.

Look at the bright side.
You'll have tons of anticipation.
One could say, you'll have more anticipation than anyone who has ever played this game..lol

As for Grunt, maybe we'll see in Mass Effect 4..
I know.. trilogy, but I have a hard time believing they'll let such a popular name die.

 

[EastCoasthandle]

Will there be any more DLC for the PC version of this game?

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Yeah. For sure the Hammerhead (drivable vehicle). Other than that, I don't know.

 

[mdsx1950]

For me Mass Effect 2 is everything Mass Effect 1 was - Just better, more polished, better looking and far more fun.

I'll pre-order ME3 the second it shows up.

Totally

yea, i'm just gonna wait and get a newer xbox (just a bare unit since i already have the other stuff) since the one i have now has both a 90nm cpu and gpu... i'd like to get one with the 65nm gpu and cpu for reliability sake... later i'll take apart the HDD and throw in a "compatible" 250GB 2.5in drive (i'm sure someone knows which one MS used...)

but anyway... i only got it for xbox since i got ME1 for xbox also (i got ME1 for $10)

lol i know what ya mean about trilogies... just like they were "supposed" to stop halo at 3... we see how that worked out (kinda glad tho, it is a good game)

 

[FordGT90Concept]

I think they would be hard pressed to go beyond Mass Effect 3. It was pretty clear that Mass Effect 2 was a pitiful attempt at stretching the plot. Where do you go with it after you save the Galaxy? The Reapers prevented galaxies from establishing contact with other galaxies in order to isolate revolts. Shepherd would die of old age before they would develop technology to contact the other galaxies...

Basically what I'm getting at is that there's only two ways for it to go:
1) More pathetic plot filler in ME3 delaying the Reapers for ME4 or beyond.
2) ME3 finishes off the Reapers and anything thereafter is anti-climatic.


I know I won't be quick to buy ME3 seeing ME2. EA tainted it. I will definitely try before I buy ME3.

 

[Easo]

Tainted how? Does not calculate for me. I just know that i had nonstop superb action with my jaw on teh floor. I would be happy if they would made one more ME!

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Read all of my posts in this thread to give you a good picture of how it is tainted. Add on top of that many bugs I have not listed yet including:

• Mordin Solus's Loyalty mission sometimes gets stuck when you are supposed to push "F" to return to the Normandy. This happened 2/3 times and the only solution was to reload the Autosave and do the dialogs again.
• Select missions are impossible on Insanity difficulty.
• Clipping issues where you get stuck floating above the playing level (still happens in ME1 too).
• Clipping issue where some AI get stuck in the ground.
• Issue when using some heavy weapons which causes the character facing to not match weapon facing.
• Pyjak hunting sometimes (1/3) doesn't register successful completion of the task.
• Default buttons don't update to reflect remapped characters (e.g. if you set punch to mouse4, it will still show "F").
• During the hacking minigame, the spacebar must be used because the game is not using the mapped keys (in my case, it should have been num_enter).
• There needs to be an option to change the mouse speed.
• Pyjak hunting should use the mouse, not the movement keys.
• Add bindings for specific options like "go to cover" and "sprint." Too many times have to thought I gone to cover when in fact, it took me out of cover resulting in death. PC users have over 100 keys to choose from, give them the option.

I know there is more...

Tali has to be my favorite character in the whole game, closely followed by Thane.

Considering she wasn't a very interesting character in Mass Effect 1, that's quite the makeover Bioware have done to her. Liz Sroka also pulls the voice acting in a truly, truly amazing fashion.

Check out my "spoiler" bit of my post at the top to get them all to survive

 

[Marineborn]

when i sent grunt to the protection team he got killed...weird

 

[FordGT90Concept]

I think I always sent Thane. He is not very useful in the final battle. Thane never died when I sent him (every time, he was loyal though).

 

[kurosagi01]

when i sent grunt to the protection team he got killed...weird

did you kill that giant worm maw thing in Grunts loyalty mission?

 

[FordGT90Concept]

It is a Thresher Maw. XD

 

[Marineborn]

did you kill that giant worm maw thing in Grunts loyalty mission?

yeah i pizzowned that thing, im like BEEOTCH get out mah face

 

[kurosagi01]

hm i dunno then maybe you should try sending someone else?? i used grunt because his a beast(not because his a korgan lol) i mean really powerful.

 

[Marineborn]

yeah thats why i sent him, im like grunt dont take shit from no one, that it cut to a cinema of him getting blown back threw these blast doors getting shot like 30 times and then he looked up at me and said, I did all i could to hold them back, it was a worth battle. then a single tear ran down my cheek

 

[FordGT90Concept]

When I beat it the last time (renegade), Mordin appeared on the ground during the exit scene after topling you-know-what. I did not use Mordin at all in the suicide mission, he was definitely loyal, and I'm positive I bought his tech upgrade. There's no reason why he should have died but it was definitely him laying on the ground.

I wonder if it is another bug--people just randomly die.


I did:
-Tech: Tali
-1st Squad: Garrus
-Escort: None
-2nd Squad: Jacob
-Biotic: Morinth
