I've just started an insanity playthrough as an adept. My plan is to lose as many as possible in the finale, and thus make Shepard fight the Reapers on her own in ME3. I know they'll give me a new crew in the next game, so I'll have to kill them too.
Renegade Ladyshep don't need no help. If you offer her help, she will headbutt you. She will certainly be looking for opportunities to 'accidentally' put Freddy Prinz Junior's character into a woodchipper.

On second thoughts, I might keep Garrus around. Garrus can be my right-hand dude.


'Cause he already looks like he's been through a woodchipper?

I can't find anywhere that has it... except toys r us in the states, and they don't ship overseas!! If anyone knows somewhere still selling the collectors edition for 360, let me know!
So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

Maybe if I get one last replay through, I'll try something similar.

Just found out that the backup of my ME2 save games are gone, guess I've got something to do until my ME3 CE arrives Posted Image

It has been a while since I last played it, so a fresh start is good anyway.

I lost all my ME2 saves recently - over 600 hours worth. I've replayed ME2 five times this month to make up for it and now I'm doing a speed run through for Matt because he doesn't have time to do it himself.

Played the single-player demo for ME3(on normal). Seems pretty cool. They've made some changes to keep you from maxing a power and dominating some levels. I want to run through it with some other classes and ratchet it up to Insanity.

Also, Sentinel is a very forgiving class in ME2. Warp, Overload, and Tech Armor, I took an ammo power (AP) just because there was no need for anything else.

Played Multiplayer on the ME3 demo. Enjoyed it quite a bit. The Mattock AR that the soldier gets is a single shot weapon of pure awesomeness.

Yep, having bitched about it a lot, I have to confess that I'm enjoying the multiplayer.

Bitching Origin won't allow me to install Mass Effect 2. I had wanted to do a quick replay to catch up on the finer points of the story (in renegade mode), but no matter what I do, at 55% install crashes.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Close to finishing up a run through ME1 and ME2 as a fully fledged renegade femshep (far superior to the fembot). I thought ME2 on insanity would be rough, but playing as a Sentinel makes the entire thing a breeze. I only ever struggled with the platform sequence in the collector ambush and the final part of Horizon.

I really appreciate how well done the story is playing through the entire thing in sequence, and though there are some inconsistencies they`re pretty minor. I`m genuinely happy to meet Garrus on Omega, even on my third play through. I also like how Shepard goes from being a great commander in ME1 to the ultimate badass in ME2. As Garrus so aptly pointed out, killing me only pissed me off.

This run has also made me appreciate the paragon/renegade system all the more. Compared to the typical good/evil systems that never seem to work in any meaningfull way, chosing between paragon and renegade options feel much more believable. It`s not a question of good an evil. It`s a question of whether the ends justify the means (Renegade) or whether the galaxy is worth saving if we have to sacrifice our humanity to do so (Paragon).
