Yes. But not really, because Dragon Age is just a much better Mass Effect. But yea really because the second one will probably take improvements from Mass Effect and you don't want to be lost with the story. Also:   |

Mass Effect is good stuff. The main plot line is solid. The side quests are mostly crap. On balance it was quite good.

Also, your game-clearing save (made automatically before the credits) will influence a great deal of what you see in ME2. Not just in the main plot, but in side quests, ambient events, relationships, etc. It will be fun. Oh yes. Side bonus, the Steam version never had EA's odious custom version of SecuROM included. |

Is there a way to transfer my Xbox360 safegame to my PC? Because at that price I will buy it, but I'd rather not unlock all the weapons again for my next playthrough.

I thought it was based off achievments. Wouldn't those carry over logging into Games for Windows Live? Or is that available with the Steam?

The PC version doesn't use GFL I don't think.

God dammit steam is bilking me for so much money these last few weeks between good weekend sales and new game releases. I really need to just go back to pirating everything instead of buying things at good price points  |

Achievements, as I've heard through public sources, have an influence on what you start with (I recall they said "Rich" achievement would have nice effects -- fortunately, that one was also dead easy to get). The real meat will come in the quest flags. ME2 can query any quest flag set in ME1. It's not just the Virmire and Council choices -- it can be stuff like waving a gun in Conrad Verner's face and "Say goodnight, Manuel." |

Damnit.. I've already blown my budget with Torchlight and The Witcher and the Lucasarts packs. Still, I think I can suffer one week without eating out. waiting to buy games. |

Oh, my achievement remark was purely for the gun/ability unlocks. You're going to make me buy this for the PC now, even though I don't likely have time for a play through for both sets of quest flags I want. I'd rather purchase this on PC and playing Dragon Age has put a silly notion into my head that ME2 would run well enough on my PC. Anything to avoid buying my 360 games, really. "Say goodnight, Manuel." was just unexpectly awesome and one of my favorite early moments during my "asshole, psycho agressive run" in ME. |

Punching the reporter was so incredibly memorable.
We've had this conversation before, though. With stormwaltz, I think. Stormwaltz, where's my ME2?! WHERE?!

I bought this just now. There's a 70% my old ass computer won't run it, but for $10 I'm more than willing to take a chance.

Plus, you'll still have it when you upgrade the computer at some future date. Win/ win.

I can't believe I never played this game until now, it is pretty damn good. It, however, should have been named Mass Elevators.  |

Is anyone playing this on W7? I'm not using the steam version though.
Edit! Forgot the patch. See if this does the trick..

Probably won't help but the steam version works perfect on my W7 machine, I did have to Run as Admin though the first time i fired it up, no idea why i haven't had to on subsequent game start ups though. |

Geeky space gypsy women are so hot.
You just love her accent! Admit it! I'm playing this for the first time and so far I'm enjoying my Vanguard but it's very annoying I got stuck with shotguns instead of sniper rifles. I can't seem to find any use for shotguns when pistols and force powers biotics kills stuff just fine. |
Over and out.

Once you get the skill up and start seeing better quality gear shotguns really do a lot of damage - I particularly like them with knockback-increasing ammo. Wrex with a good shotgun is like a wrecking ball.

Can we import the necessary save file from an old drive? I'm booting into W7 now, but I think I still have the save on my XP drive.
Also, how will it deal with multiple characters? My first playthrough was my usual white knight, but Lamont, he's a sumbitch of a Shepard. I'd like to make my first ME2 play as the white knight without sullying myself with cousin Lamont's.....uncouthness.

Yeah that mini-boss that you fight after saving the last party member fucking wrecks you with a shotgun. Made me sad I picked the sniper rifle class isntead of the Heavy Armor one. |

I'm using a pea-shooter . On the flip side I throw people up in the air. Enjoying the game, but the side quests blow chunks. |

I should have gotten this. Probably. Just that I have the disc version (unplayed) and didn't want to buy it twice on the same platform.
