wait wtf. if you bought DA2 new you get ME2 new as wlel???


Yep, to be fair, with the price drop on DA2 -  down to GBP20 at Game in the UK, about half what I paid on release less than 1 month ago - plus a free PC copy of ME2 which "can be played on other PC's while travelling", according to the EA spiel, I think it's not a bad deal even with all DA2's faults.

I personally only want it so when I finally decide to get a new laptop I'll have something decent to play on it, although I'm not the bigget fan of mouse & keyboard.

Edit: DLC I get with it: Firewalker, Zaeed, Cerberus weapons & armor, blood dragon armor, arc projector and the normandy crash site - I won't be buying the rest.

Last off topic post (for a while anyway) - Further to the edit of my last post; if you buy DA2 this month you get the Firepower pack as well. SOAB, stick it to us pre-orders, why don't you.

Anyway, I've given it a go on my PC now, and I was suprised how well it runs given, while the chipset and memory are good, the video card leaves a lot to be desired.
The controls are gonna take some practice, and reclined is not the ideal position for mouse & keyboard play. I knew there was a reason for those nice controllers.

Yeah, got bored with Shiala.
Apparantly if you get the right guy on EA support, they'll unlock it for you.
What did you get free Spartas? The Firepower pack on xbox or did you lay your hands on a spare DA2 code?

Hey, I aint bad, but apparantly some people have had some success and others haven't, so it's down to who your dealing with at EA I think.
Thanks for explaining about your DLC. B*stard, I paid for it all - except appearance packs.

I have a question, is it possible for me to use the Masseffect2saves site with the xbox now? Or do I just have to create a new character and mod info from there?

They in fact direct everyone here (http://www.masseffec...es.com/xbox.php).
What are you trying to do?

One thing I would highlight: Changes to ME1 history only take effect when importing a character from ME1 or ME2 (New Game+).

Start
a new ME2 character and once you wake up in the lab save the game. 
Extract the save using modio, back up a copy, and open it in gibbeds
save editor.
You can now edit the game to give yourself a new ME1
history under the plot tab. Avoid contradictory choices and make sure
you only have one romance, otherwise most things are self explanatory.
Also, under the raw tab "plot" change End Game State to LivedtoFightAgain - this allows you to create a NG+ from this save. 
Save it and rehash, etc. in modio and export to device.

You can now use this save as a template for all future me1 histories you want to try.

For some reason my modded save isnt appearing. I've injected the modded save into the modio and done the resign thing but it's not appearing when I play ME2. I've modded the save successfully before so I think I've just forgotten something obvious. Can anyone help me.

The most common is forgetting to "save to device" after resigning.

Tell me about it. lol I remember for some reason I extracted from USB to a folder where backup saves were at. But my modio was rehasing another folder. Kept injecting the pure copies into the USB and grew frustrated :P.

Right, I'm having trouble with custom hair and eyes.

I want my hair set to "BIOG_HMM_HIR_PRO.FormalSpikes.HMM_HIR_Fsk_MDL" but in-game it shows up as bald, even though the above is pasted in the Hair Mesh section. The texture perimeters are all set to None with regards to hair which is probably causing it. I don't know what to set the perimeters to, though. Also I don't think my 5oClock beard is showing, but I have nothing to cross reference it with.

Also, I've managed to get the Illusive Man's eyes but when I'm putting in the RGB values for what should be red they keep showing as blue.

Edit: Never mind, I sorted it. What other sorts of mods are there? Can I customise armour and weapons like you can on the PC?
And I don't know if my Kaiden facemorph has worked. I pretty much just need a bit of help with working Texture Perimeters and Vector Perimeters really, I've never done anything like this before so it's all a bit new and the OP isn't too clear to me.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, apart from hair, eyes, etc. all other aspects of appearance are in the game files which you cannot mod on the Xbox.
Otherwise, here's a quick run down of what can be done:
In gibbeds you can; add resources, credits, talent points (to shep & squaddies) change levels, class and weapons as well as adding or amending a ME1 history.  Oh. you can also give yourself silly amounts of heavy weapons ammo.
If you're happy/willing to hex edit you can give yourself weapons training and change all of your upgrades - so you can have 10 assault rifle upgrades for example.

If you need help with anything specific, come back and I'm sure someone will help.

So can I not, say, change Jacob's shotgun for an assault rifle?

How come the 360 can't be modded as the PC can? If you can get the save file, I don't see why not...

You can give Jacob an assault rifle instead of a shotgun in gibbed.


You can mod the PC version because you're not just modding the game save on the PC, you're modding the base code itself.  For the 360, you're just changing things specific to that game save.

I'm not too familiar with the mac, but the program requires a .NET environment (.Net 3.5 works, not sure if .NET 2.0 would).  A quick google would suggest people use a dual boot with windows or a virtual windows environment on their mac.  You might check this site for more information. I know Codeweavers also makes a product that might work for you.  And of course check mac forums on running .NET applications.

I'd be interested in knowing if you find something that works.

Hey, so I have a totally newbish question:

I can't actually manage to move the saves from my Xbox 360 Hard Drive (20 GB) into a USB. I've tried a number of USB keys (all 2 GP), but unfortunately I can't move the saves. Everything else works fine, just not the save games.
Any help?

Before ME3 comes out I want to experience all the plot differences in ME2 so I created a new character that lets the council die, but I keep getting the dialogue about a human dominated council and so on.

On the ME wiki it says there's a third option. One where the council dies, but is replaced by a multi-racial council:

“In 2183, the heart of the galactic community suffered a devastating attack.

The Citadel space station was invaded by a synthetic geth army attempting to open a portal for the Reapers: enormous machines that eradicate all organic civilization every 50,000 years. Commander Shepard led the defense, but the Citadel Council was lost.

Now, the new human-led Council attempts to quell rumors of the Reapers' return. Hoping to ease public concern, they've sent Commander Shepard and the starship Normandy to wipe out all remaining geth resistance.”

How do I use Gibbed's to get that text? I can't figure it out. I either get the one where the Council survives or the one where there is an all-human council.

Help, please.

What do you mean "Everything else works fine"?  Did you have the Xbox format the USB device?  The Xbox should be able to format and write to the USB.  From there you can use a program to read the USB on your PC (I've only tried Modio---it lets me explore the USB and extract/insert/replace game saves and then rehash and load back to the USB).

I actually use the USB stick exclusively for my game, without copying back to the Xbox.  I just make sure I have an untouched copy of my career on my PC, just in case I really screw things up and need to return to a working career save.

IIRC the Xbox originally couldn't use USB sticks, but I assume you have whichever update it was that allowed the use of generic USB sticks.  (I've only been playing this on someone else's Xbox, so I'm not too clear here.)

Have you formatted the drives on your xbox?  This has to be done before you can move them - it has to be move, not copy.
