This has been covered here before, but I'll say it again.
After the first week or so of gameplay, I started using the save editor to give myself minerals.  This is worst aspect of the game considering the implementation of it.  Total waste of time for the player.  Not planet scanning for minerals does not bother me in the least bit. 


Speaking of things that I personally felt were missing which might have made ME2 an even more fantastic game than it already is IMO: I wasn't thrilled with the heatsink system at first, but it did work quite well and forced the player to use more than just a souped up pistol a la ME1. That said, while BioWare was right that there were more RPG elements beneath the hood than first appears to the naked eye, I do miss the heavier RPG feel to ME1. In particular the far, far greater selection of armours and customizable weapons, ammunition, omni-tools, etc. Oh! And I also found the skill trees somewhat lacking in comparison. And the ability to go through a genuine inventory whenever you want as opposed to only at a select few terminals.

Not to be left out was the nifty helmet on/helmet off/helmet-3/4s of face covered key binding option form ME1. What's the point of making all these fancy helmets and other head gear while also putting effort in to making Shepard appear emotive with facial expressions if the player can't see them because he/she for whatever reason didn't think to remove an obscuring helmet before going planetside? It's an odious waste of time having to then reload or shuttle back up to the ship, then run to the captain's cabin before then, and only then, changing the head gear.

Read the OP to this thread and tell me if any of you got a laugh out of it. It's a 3 month old thread, but I thought the original post was just goofy as hell.

How can you not laugh at someone who "does extensive research on gender in social culture and in video games"?

Well first of all, someone that does extensive research should take the time to proof read their post and correct misspelling.  Secondly I don't think the OP did extensive research, and even if that was the case, his/her assumptions are way out in left field somewhere.^_^

It would be nice to have at least more dialog in the game.

I tend sypathize with the helmet issue, but what about goggles?  I use them quite often and taking them off would seem to somewhat to take away their purpose.

I am not too crazy about looking for clips myself.  The ME1 inventory system was quite klunky IMO though.  The customization of the armor in ME2 satisfies me somewhat, although I do miss wearing different armors from different manufacturers.

I never liked that you could wear a helmet and people would still recognize you. The inventory system was too cluttered but I wish they didn't cut out so many of the armors and guns.

I  think I might commission this artist to draw the Samara picture I was mentioning earlier, if the artist I'm currently asking can't do it.

Ah, an image for those who completely missed the point of the Samara character.

Personally, I hope BioWare does not make Samara a LI for ME3. Samara is an asari matriarch, at this stage of her life, would she really be shacking up with a 30-ish human? I'm only 41, and even I wouldn't date a 30-year-old.

The one artist who I was originally going to commission for the picture hasn't responded in about a month, so I guess it's completely off the table for now.

I don't know if that artist would consider it.  I can ask.  It wouldn't hurt.

Some of the people in this thread think that the Asari are attracted to someone's mind first, and their body second, since, for them, romance and love are a very visceral matter. I'm sure there's a limit, in terms of age, as you mentioned, but Samara at least states that she has an interest in him.  She's just not acting upon it.

- she already turned you down in ME2, so its over

- her character in ME2 is a certain way, thus its not possible

- Making her a LI will "cheapen" her character and all she stood for (although this is on bioware)

- Shep and Samara were meant to be "friends"

- Samara is out of Shep's "league"

- She is just too "old" for him





...and the list continues to grow...(just jokin :P)

I gotta call B.S. on that one Sian. My sister married a guy 12 yrs her junior and she's not complaining one bit. Don't tell me you wouldn't do the same. Everyone is pretty well grown up by thirty, I would like to think.

And besides, I rather like this picture. Kinda cute.  :P

I don't much care for it myself.  I just don't like that style, it looks to Japanese anime to me.

Eh, people will sexualize any and all characters. Not a fan of it myself. I prefer the other piece of fan art that was posted far more.
