What choices, story or side-quest, where not addressed in ME2? 

For me:
The SB choice to give "him" the data on Cerberus still bugs me, I'm relplaying ME1, but I don't know what to w/ that choice since A. not mentioned in ME2 B. SB is a bastard for attempting to sell your corpse to Collectors
& putting Liara in danger.

I wanted to see a result of the research on Nirali Bhatia's body. If you turn the body over to the husband, you get a thank you e-mail. But there is no word on the results of the research.

i wanted some reaction from cerberus either to the Acuze backstory, or just to my cerberus-destroying rampages in ME1.

[jklinders]

Well it would have been nice if either miranda or Jacob looked just a little sheepish in going over the Sole Survivor background at the beginning. Would have been even better if I had the oppurtunity to go off on them over it.

I have brought this up a dozen times... I should be more pissed about Cerberus' involvement in akuze... I raised as much hell as I could at first... but still I am unsatisfied

& the sole survivor on Akuze (I'm on a replaythrough of ME1 w/ Spacer & sole survivor btw); these are things I've been wanting answers to myself as well; I think there is a brief mentioning of the Sole Survivor to Miranda but I forgot where.

Mirianda justifing the Cerberus research, albiet from a different cell, from ME1 could have used some more fleshening out.

I'M STILL ASKING MYSELF WHERE THE F*** GAVIN HOSSLE IS!



But seriously I wanted some cool mods from him as a thank you.



ALSO the whole Narali Bhatia research not being mentioned is quite annoying.

[DuffyMJ]

The Bhatia research was supposed to take 3 years to complete, not 2.

[A Blind Bandit]

I thought for sure that there would be repercussions for my actions against Cerberus

[Nozybidaj]

Akuze, Kahoku, Cerberus data given to Shadow Broker, Bhatia research, all the Cerberus projects we busted up, choice of LI, just to name a few.

"Lost crypts of beings of light."



From ME Wiki: Klencory is a rock and ice planet with an atmosphere composed of chlorine and argon. The frozen surface is mainly composed of potassium with deposits of iron.



Klencory is famously claimed by the eccentric volus billionaire Kumun Shol. He claims that a vision of a higher being told him to seek on Klencory the "lost crypts of beings of light." These entities were supposedly created at the dawn of time to protect organic life from synthetic "machine devils."



Shol has been excavating on Klencory's toxic surface for two decades, at great expense. No government has valued the world enough to evict his small army of mercenaries.



Shouldn't this be a big part of ME3 or ME2 dlc if this volus isn't crazy?

[mp84]

Well, DLC wise, if you let Balak go, I would like to see more of a mention of maybe tracking him down or running into him on one of the side missions, instead of just a news reel about him that he's still at large.



I too agree about the Cerberus data to the SB, I choose both of the options in my two different playthroughs and no reference of that what so ever.

More background quests; I'm a spacer, so why can't I talk to Hannah Shepard again; all she gets is a mention in the news & an e-mail from her.

I've gone back and forth on the Shadow Broker issue. On the one hand, Kahoku DID promise them the data in exchange for the location which he then also transmits to you - along with that, you stay on good terms with the Shadow Broker (which, given Liara's interest, should eventually come into play).



Then you have the "Alliance soldier" duty justification for the paragon side of things, which to me is tough if only because the data at that point is more about Cerberus the renegade operation as opposed to Cerberus the Alliance branch. Plus, obviously, the Shadow Broker is now on negative terms with you.



Personally, I see two conflicting duties - one of upholding Kahoku's bargain, and the other of proper Alliance protocol. And I'm still unsure which I value more.

There is still Mass Effect 3 and any expansions they may do. I think some of the Mass Effect stuff will come to a head there.

[ThisIsMadness91]

Off the top of my head, I don't recall the results of "UNC: The Negotiation" (the mission with Lord Darrius) being mentioned.

[Al-the-Catman]

SB agent said Kohoku owes him, but that could be a lie. SB as a whole bothers me a lot now. ME1, Saren betrays him, so he helps you find/recruit Tali & Wrex. In ME2, SB somehow gets your body 1st & attempts to sell it to Collectors/Harbinger. SB does work for highest bidder, but whatever happened to "never tipping the scales in 1 gov't/organization/person's favor"? SB seems to quite off the ball for the top info broker.

I assume it just got caught up with everything else in the "grimdarkification" of all things ME1.  You have the SB who in the first game was a powerful but neutral party and Cerberus the evil terrorist organization.  Now you have the SB trying to sell Shepard's body and serving as some sort of evil entity that Liara gets sent off to fight to get her out of the story while Cerberus gets this big makeover of "we're not as evil as you think" and are made out to be the good guys who are the only ones who care about or know anything of importance anymore.

Plot twists, turnabouts, new revelations, Oh my! Unless the SB knew little to nothing about the Collectors, which seems to be a prevalent theme until Shep's party finds out 1st hand about them, why would the SB knowingly work for a power that tips the scales in favor of some1/thing else? I've been reading ME:Redemption, but that still, unless a future issue corrects me on this, hasn't shed any light on how Shep's body was recovered.

Yep, I want that too!

[DarthCaine]

Most of them

[Al-the-Catman]

Also, no mention of Pinnacle Station, not even an e-mail?

I don't think you understand Anderson's (right?) quip about "not tipping the scales." The fact no balance of power shifts as a result of the Shadow Broker's market for information, as I recall, was more of an equilibrium born of the fact every power plays the game and continually purchases and sells information - thus creating a circumstance wherein no one player had any unfair advantage. Say Power A buys Power B's secrets for some price, but then Power B realizes Power A has their secrets, so they buy Power A's. In the end, both powers now have each others secrets (thus the balance of power hasn't shifted) but the Shadow Broker has made a bit of profit in the exchange.

In other words, it was never the Shadow Broker intentionally ensuring his actions didn't shift anything, but rather the outcome of rational actors all taking part in a market and leaving it at equilibrium. I can say with some relative degree of certainty that if the Shadow Broker knew selling Shepard to the Collectors would result in the destruction of all life, his own included, he wouldn't have engaged in the transaction - it was, to him, just a simple business transaction.
