Hi there, having a problem with Mass Effect 2™.

I downloaded it through steam.

Here are my specs.
Amd Phenom 9500 Quad-Core 2.22ghz
Nvidia Geforce GTS 250  ver: 196.21
Onboard Sound, issue is unrelated to sound.
Windows Vista SP2
Directx10
Description as follows: Immediately following the Loyalty mission for Grunt™ the character's Loyalty ability never unlocked. The skill fortification shows itself as still locked even after the mission. This has not occured for any of the other characters. Even after speaking to Grunt after the mission, it has remained the same.

Shepard can use fortification through advanced training at the research module, but Grunt still cant put points into it. On the character selection screen, grunt has a gold ring underneath him, and says Loyal under Loyalty.

I have tried leaving planets, coming back. switching characters, nothing works. I do not have a save available to load before the loyalty mission, therefore i am hooped.

This is a skill progression problem.

It only occured for Grunts loyalty mission. I have heard on other forums the same has happened with Samara, but i have not experienced this.

The problem only occured on the krogan homeworld.

Do the loyalty mission for grunt and it might happen to you.

Eighth thread i've made, hopefully i can get something useful out of this. Thanks for reading.

This bug only happens sometimes. The same person can play the game on the same computer with two different characters, and it may happen with one, and not happen with the other.

Is there no way to fix it ? editing save file or so ?

I also wonder about this. If there were a way to simply add the skill onto the Krogan.

My main concern is not the skill itself, but if it will affect the strength of my crew come the final mission, and ruin the perfect playthrough i'm going for.

You just have to get over it and go on with the game or get the most recent save and do the part again. You could also wait until someone finds a way to open and use console commands. Editing save files is hardly an option since info is partially encrypted.

*spoilers*

Like i said, my main issue is if i'm able to beat the game with everyone surviving at the end, and i just hope this doesn't affect it. Gonna continue to playthrough, just wanted the BioWare devs to be aware of the issue and possibly address it in the next patch.

SWKotOR and Dragon Age taught me that BioWare either too afraid to make patches (scared of breaking stuff that actually works) or does not have enough peoples sorting through gameplay bugs and working on fixes.

I cant say that i like the way some company's throw 3 patches at you in one week after the game has been released (just means that game was unfinished) but BioWare seems to release patches only on most critical issues and they do really take their time to do so.

Same issue for me. I really do not have any other problems. I hope this one gets fixed.

I had the same bug happen to me, the squad selection screen displayed that he was loyal, and unlocked the alternate colored uniform, but the skill remains locked, hopefully it has no impact upon the ending, as I don't have a prior save to go back to without losing 5 hours of gameplay

I just got this problem, too. Of course I made a quick save as soon as I got back on the Normandy. Disappointing, but at least I don't include Grunt in my squad often enough that this is a critical issue.

Atleast you didn't have 26 hours to go back on (Yeah im kind of OCD on seeing and doing everything...)

Anyway, i decided to just start a new game, my shepard was a biotic and i feel biotic's are alot weaker in ME2 anyway. I figure it will go a bit faster since i know everything now either way.

Devs, i hope you take note of this bug so that it doesn't inconvenience anyone this way in the future

Cheers

good luck with that, i decided to keep playing, I am sure it is a bug with the skill and not his loyalty, though if he dies/ betrays me or whatever in the ending because of this I'll be slightly devestated. missing the skill on grunt isn't a gamechanger, he is still a walking tank. subscribed to the thread in hope of dev response nonetheless

Let me know how it turns out. I may not delete my save!

Same problem here. Got Grunt's variant costume, it says he's loyal in his team status, but the Fortification skill is grayed out still. Hoping it won't blow my shot at a perfect ending... I'm about 37 hours in now (I got a bit addicted to playing planetary stripminer), so I'm not going back.



And if he dies... well, I don't care that much - he ain't Wrex ;)

Exact same.. thought it was some kind of conflict between Moradin and Grunt.. but never had anything there. Says loyal, but no unlock. Annoying. I play with him in my party all the time, even if he doesn't have all his powers. He still rocks.

Same error here as well. I'd be ok with him not having the power if it won't mess up the ending for me. As long as the game considers him loyal, I can get by without the power.
