The scene where he dies is just after the one where you pick debris off your two teammates. You see him lying on the ground and a Collector steps over him. Immediately after that, you see the swarm of those bugs coming at you and your team runs for the Normandy.

yeah he definitely lived...I never saw that bit - and he's still there after I click continue, so I am assuming that he lived. Maybe there really is a random chance that someone dies.

i let the salarian live in the loyalty mission which was a paragon action and got his loyalty and he survived the final battle.

FordGT90Concept · Feb 24, 2010

Everytime I stopped Mordin from shooting him, the finale went as expected. The one time I didn't, Mordin dies unless he is with me. There might be more to it than that but that can't be a coincidence.

kurosagi01 · Feb 24, 2010

i find it really strange that he died,the only reason Jack died in my 1st playthrough because i didn't have her loyalty.

jack sucks at life anyway.

I want an alternate ending where even if she's loyal, one of the crew pushes her through the doors at the end as they are running away... and everyone on the other side just stands there for a second in awkward silence.... then all just burst out laughing.

HolyCow02 · Feb 24, 2010

I haven't completed the game yet, but I have everyone loyal except Jack (haven't done her mission yet) and Samara because the daughter walked away. I let Mordin blow that dudes head off... it was sweet.

Why do you say that?

mdsx1950 · Feb 25, 2010

Finished the game with full paragon bar

I saved everyone except Grunt :/

mdsx1950 · Feb 25, 2010

Btw anyone did it with Tali???

I did it Paragon xxx with Miranda and did some hardcore rengade xxx with Jack lol.

mdsx1950 · Feb 25, 2010

I romanced Tali in the game. She's by far the most interesting romance sub-plot.

She takes her mask off but they positioned the perspective so you can't see what she looks like.

Well, given plenty of similarities between the voice actors and the ME2 characters, I wouldn't be surprised if she looks more than a little like Liz Sroka.

FordGT90Concept · Feb 25, 2010

Only the human characters look like their voice over actors/actresses. I figure Quarians look kind of like the head of a praying mantis.

I doubt it. They are probably quite human-like in appearance (We know they have two eyes, a nose, and, judging by the masks they wear, probably have a slightly thinner head than humans). I am also pretty sure we'll never see what a Quarian looks like, except maybe in the ME3 finale.

I say that because the people that died may effect the plot in Mass Effect 3.
Like for example in ME1 if you killed Wrex you might get load of crap when you do Grunts loyalty mission in ME2.

HolyCow02 · Feb 25, 2010

What the hell!!!! I lost 3 damn people! FUCK! I am replaying... i'm pissed. Mordin got eaten by the swarm, Zaeed just took a bullet, and Jack died holding the door. I mean COME ON!

that is what happened to me. I got tons of crap from them for having him die, and then they were ok with it.. which was odd

Did you have their loyalty? what was your tactic like? the hacker and fire squad leader?

farlex85 · Feb 28, 2010

Finally finished, only Grunt died for me, I guess because he just can't hold up the diversion well, which seems odd considering his brute force approach. A great continuation to the story, but overall I'd have to say not quite as enthralling an experience as the first chapter. As much as I wanted more depth to the side missions than the first one offered, I personally don't particularly think the planet scan upgrade mechanic was any more interesting. Loyalty missions were a nice addition, but overall leveling and weapon upgrading just didn't feel as strategic to me as the first one, offering a somewhat more hallow combat experience.

But the real thing I wanted, and what Bioware delivered on in spades, was the chance to continue the story you began in the first game, with your choices intact. For me the details still haven't hit their stride (upgrading, leveling, side missions), but the heart of the game is still better than most any other gaming experience out there (at least for the PC). Perhaps the third will get all the elements at once for a momentous finale.

I got into the characters on ME2 more than ME1. I liked all of my teammates which i didn't really care in the 1st ME1.

ME2 actually made me try to use my teammate's powers to get over some bad situations, ME1 didn't, I just forced my ways through with guns in the 1st ME1.

FordGT90Concept · Feb 28, 2010

Try on insanity. ME1 isn't beatable without extensively using squad powers. You'll get smothered by Krogan over and over and over.

Mass Effect 2 Details :)

Your opinion

Mass Effect 1 was better than 2

Mass Effect 2 was better than 1

Both were equally good.
