For my adept playthrough I'm using Ashley and Tali so it's a well-rounded group. Tali's AI Hacking talent is fun, making Geth shoot each other is great. laugh

I can see Tali having some distinct advantages to fighting Geth.

Oh oh I misunderstood you Zac.... I thought you meant you fell into a bottomless pit... though, they don't have those in ME, do they? Thats another thing I like about it. Thats really cool now, now that I have re imagined that without the 'you dying' part tongue . The lava on Liara's dig world cracked me up though. Despite all these years in gaming, lava is still an unbeatable force that kills you the moment you touch it.

Kind of like water in quite a few video games.

Like Mass Effect. I decided to see what happened if I drove Mako into the ocean on Virmire. I instantly died. plain

I tried the same thing. You can withstand being dropped thousands of feet, almost every imaginable inhospitable environment in the galaxy including massive amounts of heat, pressure, radiation, ultra-freezing temperatures, high winds, even underground monsters, but you can't float? Seems the Mako is outclassed by this:

Yeah, and that car doesn't have the advantage of an Element Zero core reducing its mass like the Mako. tongue

Actually, I'll bet the MAKO's eezo core could be tweaked to make it float. Seriously, if it can fall hundreds or even thousands of feet and not take any damage then I'm sure the mass effect could be used to traverse water.

In the sequel maybe.

WOW! I just unlocked the Rich achivement... and so I unlocked the ability to purchase all the Spectre grade equipment. I instantly pounced on the spectre class AR, Pistol, Shotgun , sniper, and armor. All the weapons are AMAZING, doubling pretty much all damage of my previous arsenal. And the armor, while having 100+ shields and 70+ protection over my previous armor.... it looks terrible. I'm keeping it for now though, because I'd be a fool not to.

Wow... I just resolved the Wrex problem on Virmire using the renegade solution, ie. shooting him. I know it's supposed to be harsh but that was horrible! Shepard is such a cold-hearted killer using that option. I'm glad I finally got the renegade achievement so I never have to go through that again!

So, are the only two merchants the Citadel one and the one on the Normandy? Is there any high end merchant like on the cit or something? I really want to find some nice Turian armor for Garrus, but the best I can find is some low grade Medium Onyx....

Try the requisitions officer in C-Sec.

I love the Specter equipment, except I haven't been able to find any light armor for it. There are like 2 merchants in Markets, upper and lower, there is the Hanoi jellyfish dude in the financial center that sells non-human armor, there is the requisitions officer in C-Sec and the medical girl in the Med Clinic sells good Armor upgrades, and then on Noveria there is another jellyfish, and on Feros there is also a guy you can buy stuff from. There might be more, but that is all I can think of right now. I would try the jellyfish in the financial center first.

Also I couldn't just stand there and shoot Wrex, so I threatened him which gave me some Renegade points but kept him alive. Sometimes I just couldn't be as cold and heartless as a true Renegade would be. I also had to save Ash again because she is more awesome than I am. I am now stuck filling up her First aid ability because everything else that is important is full.

You're excused. And these are the funniest lines I've heard in the game thus far (both from a renegade character):

C-Sec Officer: I don't understand why it can't act in an orderly and peaceful manner.
Shepard: Because it's a big, stupid jellyfish.

Shepard: Someone piss in your security chief's coffee this morning?
