Adept Shepard on insanity...
Started Project Overlord because he needs to investigate a Cerberus base overrun by machines (Shepard has a feeling of deja vu because this happened when he was resurrected from the grave). The first Shepard death for this ME2 playthrough was when a Geth Destroyer barbecued Shepard with a flamethrower. This happened twice
. This Cerberus facility was tasked with trying to influence and control the Geth using the human mind. Shepard fought through the machines and found David hooked up to a torture device. Shepard gave Gavin a nose bleed by using a paragon pistol whip. David's suffering has stopped and he's been sent to Grissom Academy. I still love the Overlord music theme.
Returned to Omega for Archangel. Shepard did some sabotage work as he sauntered through the mercenary groups. He sabotaged the heavy mech and had a shocking experience with Cathka
. Shepard was also shocked to find that Archangel was actually Garrus. It's nice to see Shepard's words of wisdom in Mass Effect 1 had affected Garrus. Specifically, the not taking the law into your own hands part
. Shepard got killed again by a Pyro Vorcha (I'm not having the best luck against flamethrowers today
). Garrus got blasted in the face with a gunship missile. He's now on the crew.
On the Normandy, Shepard shared a brandy with Chakwas and toasted to being drunk.
Went to recruit Okeer and this mission gave Shepard memories of Virmire. Jedore wants an army of Krogan (just like Saren did). The shipyard had it's own labs where Genophage experiments were carried out. Shepard ran into Rana again and she's still devoted to her Genophage research. The labs were used to try and make the Krogan strong in spite of the Genophage. Rana went on her way again. Shepard had a chat with Okeer who later died to save his tank. Shepard recovered the tank and activated it on the Normandy. He activated the pod because it's better to deal with the unknown now rather than later. So now Grunt is on the team as well.
Shepard then went on a prison ship, caused a prison riot and recruited Jack.
The Illusive Man told Shepard to investigate Horizon. When the crew arrived, the Collectors were in the process of harvesting the colony. It turns out the Collectors are working for the Reapers. Shepard got the defence towers online which drove the Collector Ship away. Shepard had a brief chat with Kaidan and left the colony.
Shepard's a biotic master now and his abilities have evolved to the point of Nemesis again.
The next stop will be to recruit Tali.
I think now I'm more or less at the same point as you RedCaesar97
(Hopefully, I'll overtake you tomorrow and win the race
)
