I do think that ME2 was a great game, but I was thinking that it didnt feel like a second edition to a trilogy. Instead of a trilogy it felt like they just built new charecters and worked it (Roughly) into the story of the old one. They also randomly threw in charecters from the old game to try and intigrate it, these charecters should of had a way bigger role. Tali and garrus were the only two that you had on your squad, If I remember between LOTR1 and LOTR2 Sam didnt deicde to go run off on his own and become king of the shire while frodo risked his life for the world. This sounds pretty critical, but I did love the game regardless I just have opinions like any other internet user. Anyway Is anyone else Think this or am I just a waco.
Am I the only one mad about the "Start from scratch" idea to ME2

Yes. You're also the only one that thought they were going to invest money in developing ME2 and not have it available to sell to anyone with money to pay.

There are explanations in the story for why the rest of the crew aren't on your team, maybe reading comprehension fails you? Or you simply did not pursue the correct dialog paths? I'm not sure but I don't understand what you are complaining about. As far as Agrue goes, WTF are you talking about?

Ya sorry I wasnt really in a normal state of mind when I wrote that, I think what I meant was that I didnt like only having two charecters from ME1 duely represented in ME2.... At least thats what I think I was saying.

yeah, i would like to have liara back in the crew and nav presley would have been a nice touch, but we didn't get that. at least my favorite character from the last game, tali, is still there and on top of that she is available as a love interest.
on a side note you misspelled integrate and duly and you share your name with my hamster :} (without the 43 of course)

LOTR also had a 50 page detour where the midgets smoked weed with Thom Bombadil.
-----------------
Considering the story: your character DIED. You keep around four of your relationships in ME2.
Instead of having a crowd pleasing "let's all re-recruit at the space tavern" they show that the characters are independent. They exist and move on with or without you. I thought it a great touch and evidence of improved storytelling from the first.

They got their magic swords that broke a protective spell on the Witch King though 
I liked Tom.
Seriously though, getting reborn from goo, just think of it as being rehab. If you've ever seen anyone coming back from a coma you could understand. It's a little like Kill Bill actually

It has to do with the sense of atmosphere in the game. You are on your own. That's what it is and that's what BioWare aimed for it to be. I loved it.
Also, comparing a story like Mass Effect to Lord of the Rings is very silly. Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 both have their own standalone stories that begin, are told, and end. So it is obvious there has to be a fresh feel (while still retaining some familiarity) in the sequels. The Lord of the Rings series is not split up that way. From the very beginning, there is one ultimate goal and each book/film itself is like a lesser chapter of that goal. That is why there is no start from scratch feeling there.
