Mass Effect 2 [Xbox 360/PC/PS3]

It may have something to do with individual upgrades - I haven't read the FAQs for every detail - but it also has to do with

->Open Spoiler<-

sending loyal team members on the right jobs (tech in the pipes, strong biotic for the shield, soldier leading the fireteam etc) and the ship upgrades too (not getting both ship upgrades will automatically kill two random (?) team members on the flight in).

Plus depending on how fast you take the mission

->Open Spoiler<-

you can stop particular members of the crew from dying - Kelly your PA, the cook, so on - before you have time to open the pods near the end.

So by way of explanation, in my first playthrough,

->Open Spoiler<-

I sent Garrus through the pipes, so he bit it at the doors, and though I put Monica on the fireteam - strong soldier, right? - she wasn't loyal, so she went down too.

That all makes sense I guess but I dont really understand why

->Open Spoiler<-

I lost Thane during the bit with the biotic Barrier, I used Jack to hold up the barrier, which she did and we managed to get through the doors, but when we were through the doors the weird bat things grabed Thane and carried him off, he was loyal and was just a part of my team, he didnt make a mistake or anything, I dont get why he died unless I needed to buy some type of upgrade for him during the game. It was annoying as he was too much of a badass to get nabbed by poncy little bats too...

The other members I lost were not loyal, which could explain it I guess, but as I mentioned its frustrating as i was actualy going to do their missions after id completed the main quest.

Anyone been reading the news updates for the Cerberus network on the title screen? Strikes me that they've got a decent way to feed into their DLC using those updates. I was half hoping that the comet skimming past the Hanar colony world was going to take a while longer to pan out so that we could intervene in some sort of rescue mission.

finished this loved every hour of it all 48 in fact , scanned every planet. did all the side missions apart from the citidal id 1 which is glitched i think?

i finished it only as level 27, how can i reach 30 without restarting, as ive done every other side quest i think

[mekanor]

you cant, its only possible if you import a level 60 character from me1. dlc should be on the way though and hopefully there will be enough to get those last few levels.

I thought it was too but I found it in the end. Enter the Citidel, go through the main door so that the C-Sec desk is on your right. Turn left and keep walking til you're standing at the bottom of some stairs. Turn around and there should be 2 Asari sitting down in a corner. It's easy to miss, I must have been round the whole place 10 times

I found the two asari's and spoke to the annoyed lady about the ID, she told me to go and find someone else but my objecive never updated and the person she told me to find wasnt there.

Silent Mountain probabaly means this as you wouldnt even know the mission exists unless you see the two Asari in the first place.

Maybe it is fudged then

Have you tried giving it to the policewoman on Ilnos?

[mekanor]

you get the mission when you pick up the fake id on someones loyalty mission,

->Open Spoiler<-

Garrus's

I think.

Talk to the 2 asari, then go talk to the woman behind the desk in the customs area or whatever you call it. If charm/intimidate is high enough you convince her to let them through. or i assume you could just give the asari the fake id

Giving what to the police woman? I dont have anything. The annoyed woman asks for ID's and dosent belive I can get them and tells me to speak to someone outside the C Sec station, but it dosent seem to have registed with the game that i said I would help and theres no one to talk too about it around there.

[Wools]

I had trouble with that too, I had the ID to give them from the off but that did not feel right so I continued the conversation.

Once she tells you to find someone, run back out the Citadel to the woman who's manning the immigration and entrance door, chat to her and if you're good enough, you can persuade her to give them passes.

[elaniel]

You get that quest after

->Open Spoiler<-

Thane's

loyalty mission IIRC. The

->Open Spoiler<-

customs lady

sometimes wouldn't speak to me so had to go back to the Normandy and then retry.

The only really glitched quest that I saw is that

->Open Spoiler<-

package one on Omega

where it doesn't show as completed when you

->Open Spoiler<-

get both packages

and still shows as opened.

[mr_sockochris]

Ahh my apologies, I didn't realise you hadn't found the fake ID. I think you find them on Garrus's loyalty mission so it sounds like you missed them. The post above sounds like a solution though

I got that mission listed as not complete on my save too.

->Open Spoiler<-

I completed all other one's aside from that, and it listed that I had to travel to the omega market to meet Ish, after travelling to omega several times through the end of the game, I could not find Ish.

I'm not sure if I missed the chance or done something wrong, but it could be a bug.

The more I play this, the more I love it. I think Bioware have done an excellent job on making the environments look so varied. With the help of weather changes, lighting, difference in terrain, foliage and cityscapes. It's just great.

Plus, Mass Effect games let you be gay!

Right hools?
