I am not that far into this (got everyone but 2 characters, have a bunch of side quests left) when I got a comm message from the illusive man that I couldn't ignore. Even if I didn't got take the message, when I tried to use the map joker told me to go listen to the message. Then, I was basically forced to complete a main quest mission. My question is, am I going to be able to go back and do all of the quests I want to, or do the final few missions just 'happen'.

I hope I didn't hit  point of no return. Anyone know? The mission I was forced to go through was

*SPOILERS******************************************










Boarding the empty collector ship

I just had that happen to me, too. Afterwards, EDI basically told me I can go after the IFF, or keep doing missions.



I have not beaten the game yet, but this is what I have heard. Finish up everything you want before you go after the IFF. The reason is, people have told me that after the IFF mission, you re given a choice of going to the "point of no return", or to continue recruiting. If you choose to continue recruiting at that point, it makes some bad stuff happen in the finale. I'm not sure what, but this is what I have heard.



So if you are unsure, do what I am doing: finish recruiting and do loyalty quests and anything else you want to complete, THEN do the IFF mission.

There is a mission that could be considered the point of no return because it triggers a timer that will force you into a decision that might cost lives. It's not the final mission but the mission after the Collector ship. You will be given the choice to pursue that mission. Jacob will advide to do so at once and Miranda will be in favor of building up the team.

I went on the IFF mission as soon as possible so I could get Legion, then I brought him with me to the quarian flotilla.

I am not getting a option on how to return to the Normandy. I have no option into returning to recuiting members in which I have 2 left and have a ton of missions left to do.

Please explain again how to avoid going to the collector ship? Everytime I go to Illusive man after we finish speaking we automaticly go to the collector ship. Help !

EDI hasn't said anything to me.

The collector ship isn't the point of no return..The assignment you get after completing that mission is. But you can take your time what that mission and build up your team.

FROST,



It is my understanding that you can go to the Collector Ship and not have to worry, because it is mandatory. The way it was told to me was this: After the collector ship mission, you can choose to continue recruiting with no penalty. However, after the IFF misson (which is the next major plot point after the Collector Ship), you must choose between continuing the story or continuing to recruit. At THAT point, you will invoke some kind of "penalty" for continuing to recruit.



So after the Collector Ship mission, just continue to do everything you want to, then do the IFF mission.

So this isn't the mission where you crew gets captured? Thanks , but I will have a save standing by just in case . My goal to bring both all my squad and crew back on the first playthrough. Anything else is unacceptable.

SPOILER of course







After the Collector ship you will be tasked to get the Reaper IFF. You can take all the time to do that.
Once you got the Reaper IFF there are maybe 2 missions until your crew gets captured. If you do not immediately go through Omega4, you will lose part or all of your crew.

Do you get Legion on the IFF mission? If this is the case, and I want to bring him to the flotilla with me, then I will sacrifice my crew when they get captured on the IFF mission right? If you want your crew to survive then you need to get everything done, including loyalty quests for current crew before IFF, then do legions loyalty mission then point of no return? Am I correct, this is all speculation based off of what I have read, not there yet.

Yes, you do get Legion on that mission. After that you can still do 2 missions (maybe 3) until your crew gets captured. Once your crew is captured you cannot do any more missions unless you are prepared to sacrifice part or all of your crew. So yes, do every loyalty mission and ship upgrade before you get the IFF and you can everyone through (but you have to make good personal choices for the final mission as well - you will see when you are there)

When you do the IFF mission you capture Legion when you're finishing it. At this point the only thing you can really do is reactivate Legion so he's up and about. Right afterwards, the mission starts where the Normandy crew gets captured (except for squadies and Joker who you actually get to play during this). At this point if you do anything else, other than Legion's loyalty mission, regular crew members WILL perish when you go through the Relay. So make you do everything necessary before you go for the IFF, because you can always do the side-missions after the Relay.

I think there is a real timer involved - as in 1 hour or something like that. You can choose how to spend that time (doing missions or scanning or whatever). I could do at least one mission after I got the IFF, but I think it was two.

I was wondering if anyone could help me out here since this topic pertains to a similar question i have . . .

I was just wondering from all of you who have completed the game how close am I to the end (or maybe not close at all)?

I do not want
any spoilers, just an idea of how much more of this great agme i have
left before the final missions arrive. I have maybe 5 ppl recruited and
all the rest to do, plus all 9 of thier loyalty missions left, and
besides my over-abundant planet scanning and side quests that is all .
. . and I am like 18 hrs in.

I guess what I am asking is will
disc two of the game be just as packed and epic or is the game mainly
recruit everyone on disc 1 and then disc 2 just has like 1 mission and
its over?

Not considering sidequests besides those of the squadmembers I think you have about 60% of the game left.

The IFF mission is basically the no point of return. Like someone stated above me once you do that you have a limited amount of time before your crew gets captured. Once they get captured if you do anything else before going through the relay Kelly dies. So in order to complete everything and save everyone you need to have everyones loyalty before the IFF, recruit Legion during the mission, do Legions loyalty mission right after, and then the IFF should be instaled so you can head straight into the Omega Relay.

If I remember it right the game switches to disc 2 a little after the first set of dossiers. Then you're on disc 2 for the remainder of the game until you go through the Omega Relay. It switchs you back to disc 1 once you hit the other side.
