I just started playing through Mass Effect again. I haven't played it since it came out so I need to refresh myself on the story and also make sure that I don't kill Wrex this time. Forgot how great this game is.

Well I've never completed it, so now I know not to kill Wrex :P

I'm going to play it soon, maybe after I finish Borderlands. My main hdd is quite small, so I only have space for a few games in rotation at a time against all the stuff that I never uninstall. I'll be fashionably late to the Mass Effect 2 party too I'm sure. Maybe I'll play Dragon Age in between like everyone else :)

I'm extremely excited for Mass Effect 2 -- like -- you don't even know...

I just want it sooo bad. I cry a bit inside each time I think about the possibility of Bioware ever doing a Halo RPG in a similar fashion to how they handle Mass Effect.

The RPG elements would be easily handled too. In the books even, there are various Spartans with a particular set of skills that make them superior to the other Spartans.

The Halo effect had spilled into the thread long before your last post Grift :P

Pay attention! But that's enough of that, Mass Effect 2 is looking damn good :D.

Err sorry about that. I figured everyone in this thread had beat the first game. Saying that, you might actually want to kill him...

No way, Wrex is one of the more honorable members of your team. No way would you ever want to kill him. I trusted Wrex with my life. This grunt, however, I don't trust at all.

That charge power is nuts :D

I remember reading about it in some interview. It works rather amazingly. You use pure biotic power to phase through any and anything, towards whatever destination or target you desire.

Never!!!, you can try your fancy pancy charge, but all that will happen is you will be charging to your death as my BlackHole Power will envelop you for good.

There is, but the implementation sucks (like the rest of the interface). Map the button, then press RB really quickly and the power will be used. More often than not you'll still wind up the power menu, though.

Enemy Defenses in Mass Effect 2
By BioWare

by Christina Norman

One area we wanted to improve in Mass Effect 2 was enemy power resists. In ME1 enemies would sometimes resist your powers, but it wasn’t clear when they would, or why. More importantly, if your enemy was resisting your powers, there was nothing you could do about it.

For Mass Effect 2 we’ve combined enemy resists with defensive shields, armor, and barriers. These defenses are displayed in a bar over the enemy’s health bar. As long as the bar is visible, your target is resistant to powers, but all powers deplete his defense bar. Once the defense bar is gone, he is vulnerable to all your powers. Only powerful enemies have a defense bar, weaker enemies are always vulnerable.

Shields: The most common enemy defense is the kinetic barrier, or shield. Shields are effective at blocking most powers, but are vulnerable to rapid-fire weapons like submachine guns and assault rifles. Shotguns are also effective as they launch many projectiles with each blast. The best way of getting rid of shields is using disruptor ammo, or the engineer’s overload power.

Armor: While most enemies will wear light tactical armor, only enemies wearing the heaviest or most technologically advanced armor will have an armor defense. Armor is effective at blocking most powers, but is vulnerable to hard-hitting weapons like sniper rifles and heavy pistols. The best way of breaking through enemy armor is using incendiary ammo, incinerate, or warp.

Barrier: Only biotic enemies like vanguards can generate defensive biotic barriers. Like shields, barriers block most powers, but are vulnerable to rapid-fire weapons. The best way of getting rid of a defensive barrier is the warp power, but the soldier’s concussive shot is also quite effective.

Defenses add significant tactical depth to combat. While weaker enemies can be defeated with powers alone, strong enemies require teamwork to drop their defenses so they can be finished with powers. This adds depth to character progression for you and your squad: It’s important to invest in both finishing-move powers like throw and cryo-freeze, and defense-killers like warp and overload.
