Managed to get the first one in my queue.

Damn, for some reason I thought the game was out tomorrow. So I went and did a rush through the first one so that I had a decent save to use for ME2... Oh well, that kinda sucks. Completed 2 playthroughs in 2 days.

Missed it all. I wish these things didn't happen when I was at work

Now I just gotta see what deals there is for ME2. Also, if I do another playthrough then what should I use instead of the normal Shepard?

Did you save or sacrifice the Council?

Talk Wrex down, or kill him?

Nuke Ashley or Kaiden?

Did you start fresh, or continue with your existing character?

I've completed three playthroughs now (Paragon, Renegade, Paragon), all using the same character (maxed out at Level 60 partway through the 3rd playthrough).

When I played many moons ago I sacrificed the council ,Wrex didnt die and nuked Kaiden

**Matt D** · 26-01-2010, 00:47

I always saved Wrex & killed Kaiden on each playthrough (Kaiden must always die - he is Carth!).

I did sacrifice the council on one playthrough, but I saved them on the recent one, which is the one I'm carrying on to Mass Effect 2.

cimt · 26-01-2010, 09:08

I set my things to level up automatically so I've never managed to talk someone out of something yet. So mine is Wrex died, Kaiden got nuked and the council were sacrificied. I might do another playthrough and see if I can get my charm up and stuff.

Aragorn · 26-01-2010, 10:08

I completed two playthroughs with one I think and started a third with a new Biotic character on hard setting (trying to get the achievement) but I went to Noveria too early and got stuck trying to take out Liara's mum.
Think I saved Wrex once and Ash & Kaiden got nuked once each.
Who did you get jiggy with? I played both Ash & Liara along and then chose Liara.
Maybe I'll dust it off again for a few days.

cimt · 26-01-2010, 10:43

Well I asked them if I could have both and then Ash stormed if in a fit so I got Liara.

Might do a slow playthrough to make some bigger decisions that I couldn't last time due to my Charm being too low.

Just pre-ordered the 2nd one too, turns out they ran out of the Limited Edition weeks ago. :o I just hope the DLC that I downloaded works because you get to see the SR1 crash site or something.

Finished it and its excellent personally I found it leaps and bounds better than the first one 10/10

cimt · 26-01-2010, 14:34

How much gameplay did you get out of it?

26-01-2010, 14:47

29 hours 35 minutes

icestar2 · 27-01-2010, 15:54

I hope amazon are dispatching today or there's almost no chance of mine arriving for friday. Might be first and last time I use Amazon for Game Pre-Orders.

haydnwalker · 27-01-2010, 18:23

Amazon are usually good for pre-orders, seems theyre having a few supply issues as my star trek online order has been delayed too...

icestar2 · 28-01-2010, 17:45

Dispatched. Now just fingers crossed.

**Matt D** · 28-01-2010, 23:47

Well, my copy from GAME came today... and then was taken to the Delivery Office, with a "Sorry, you were out" card left in its place. Apparently the packet was too big for my letterbox... (surely it's just a DVD case in a jiffy bag?)

So I have to go & pick it up on Friday... I'm off work anyway tomorrow, but had hoped to get straight into the game. Now I'll have to get up early & go & pick up my package.
