It's not, but Youtube is being lame and not updating.  *sigh*

I wish I had production values like that. I can't even find a decent song for my Miranda loyalty mission video <_<

Hey guys, during my so called "perfect" Mass Effect 1 character's final run I apparently forgot to complete Conrad Verner and Nassana Dantius' missions. This is really frustrating me since I was sure I did everything...



Do you guys think that it's worth one more ME1 playthrough on that character (on easy) to finish Conrad's mission? Also does Nassana have anything unique to say to people who completed her mission? Finally does Pinnacle Station have any impact in ME2?



Thanks for any advice

Damn. That was awesome. Very very awesome :)

We need to start a "Save Cherry Bomb" campaign or something. (That is her, right?) Billboards and such like in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Edit: Katana! I love it :wub:

I'd say save editor? Maybe? You can change all the ME1 flags as soon as you make your first save in ME2. You'll have to then import that character back into ME2 by starting a new game, so you lose a fair chunk of starting cash/credits. Not sure if that's really worth it.

The Conrad stuff is just broken apparently. Even if you go pure paragon, in ME2 it's played out like you went renegade anyway.

I'm not sure how much changes on the Nassana side. I've always played an import that had completed that stuff in ME1. Probably just a few lines of dialogue before Thane gets her. My guess anyway.

I don't think Pinnacle Station has any carryover at all.

Here is the Miranda Loyalty mission video. I used squad disrupter ammo from Zaeed just to try it since I didn't have enough points to max inferno ammo.

Unfortunately I'm playing on the Xbox 360 so I don't have access to a save editor. As for Conrad, I've heard that he always seems to use the renegade ending but for me he isn't even showing up at all. So I think I forgot to finish his mission in ME1 and it's also go me wondring what else I may have missed.



I'd like to have Conrad in the game, but even on easy it would probably take me 20 hours to finish everything in ME1 and I have nightmares about driving the Mako.

Sorry, didn't realize you were on the 360. My plan is to replay the first and second games with my "proper" character shortly before ME3 is released to refresh my memory. Maybe do something like that? It'll save you a bit of pain right now.

Yeah I might have to stomach the Mako missions and mediocre Mark Meer voice acting. It's probably the best idea because I may have rushed my last ME run more than I thought. I also missed Helena Blake's mission and didn't do Terra Nova either.



Any idea if there's a point to running around collecing minerals or asari writings? Cause if the only reward is credits then I'm already set.

Nexolek: You're right, that's the Cherrybomb. I've actually got two other Archived Save folders of her since she's my official Vanguard... and kind of Adept too, though I changed her hair, but whatever. I made that video just because it was fun and it showed off that I was going to try the Sentinel next, but I kind of like having all my stuff tie in together.

I think I will continue the "Save Cherrybomb" theme in a few vids, and yes, that was the Katana since those were mostly shielded enemies.

RamcenC:  See the power of music?  Your Miranda Loyalty vid seemed like a walk in the park because the music was so laid back.  Not laid back as in slow, mind you, laid back as in:  These guys are like Tuesday's practice for Saturday's game.  It was great.  And MP3's are small so if you want, I can always send you some of my music if you're running low.  Have a bit of everything.

Son of a... I just wrote a big reply (twice), hit submit, the window went blank, and nothing happened. Apparently this forum doesn't like Chrome. Or vice versa.

Anyway, I'm not actually sure. I made a super Shep and did absolutely everything before importing. That was a long playthrough. This should help though. Looks like you're pretty safe actually.

Thanks so much for that link, it really helps! Now I know for sure that I rushed through my Insanity playthrough since I'm missing half of the stuff on that list. I'll just run ME1 again with my level 60 Vanguard and continue straight into ME2 right after I finish. It's probably the best way to enjoy both games too.



I think I'll pass on Pinnacle Station though. I would rather save my MS points for ME2 DLC than spend it on old DLC I'll play once or twice. It doesn't offer anything substantial anyways.

OK, now that I'm a proud vanguard and all that, I'm looking at the posts here and wanted to thank thisisme8 for this thread and all the others who contributed great insight with their tests and vids. I tried to stay away from here because I wanted to stumble and fall and die but learn by myself - and I did, but boy did it take way too long.

I don't much care about combat in games, I usually play easy or normal just to get to the storyline faster. It was the same for ME2, I started a vanguard on casual difficulty... I spent half of the game behind covers, trying to figure out how to shoot - let alone charge. I barely touched charge on my first playthrough. (I kid you not, during Jack recruitment mission, even the game got bored of me and cut the last battle short before I could kill off every enemy.)

ME2's combat system proved to be thoroughly enjoyable and I'm glad I gave myself a second chance - and then even a third one, this time on insanity difficulty. I'm having too much fun with this class and still find things to learn from the posts here.

Still getting my ass kicked. I can get past most things if i take it easier, but then... i didnt pick vanguard because i wanted to sit around and snipe half the battle :P I might have to go and start from lvl 1 instead. One burst and my shield is out, from just about any enemy. And the bigass mechs, which i found annoying enough on normal, are a real nightmare

On difficult battles, charge when where you are charging has cover nearby. It's not as heroic sure but sometimes... well lets just say you aren't always invincible - even while drunk heh.



If you are doing NG+ though then yeah, I can see your troubles.

Good vid, and the music made it seem like it was a total stroll.

Bahaha, someone took one of my suggestions!

Nice music. :P

Early on in insanity+ it's best to charge around that room killing everyone, then hunker down somewhere, using smg to take down shields, then hvy pistol for armour. As soon as thats down a charge will ragdoll it, letting you finish easy. The only thing is to just stick behind cover not firing until it breaks to fire its rocket, boring and very un-vanguard'ish, but it's the easiest way if you're having problems with it.
It's possible to kill YMIRs by charge+shotgun, but it is probably the hardest thing for a vanguard in this game to do, as it's completely reliant on cover being near the YMIR and that it doesn't open up with its MG straight away. If you can't duck straight into cover, or it opens up straight away, "you dead son".
An YMIR is just like the colossus, for a vanguard, but with better AI.

Yes music definitely makes videos better, but I spend more time looking for a song than recording and compressing a mission playthrough :blink:

Disrupter ammo made that mission easier, at least when you are level 12. One shotting Eclipse Troopers was surprisingly easy and the overheat happens often. I might try it on a later mission and see how it is, but the Inferno AoE is too awesome to give up. If anyone wants to know where the song is from, it's from this game.
