I think its far more likely to 'miss' an upgrade on a mission or side-mission than it is to not be able to afford one.

Agreed.  I think that is a problem with the design too.  If you miss one particular upgrade, thats one upgrade less PERMANENTLY for you for that game.  You can't find it elsewhere.  You can't buy it elsewhere.  One door can be easily missed since there is no *ahem* "map feature".  Definitely very easily to miss a mod without knowing.

likewise.

even without the import bonus, i still have no idea how anyone could have money issues. the amount i had left over was more than the starting bonus amount i got from importing. so you should be able to raise enough money in ME2 alone to afford all the stuff.

are you sure you're not telling me everything?

red sand addict maybe? asari hookers?

I've somehow missed that Asari hooker minigame. Is there a hot coffee mod?

Seriously though, I haven't wasted any money. Didn't even buy a fish this time. There just isn't enough dough.

theres more than enough money. and then some. ive bought all the useless crap and still had more money left over than i had imported from ME1 file.

no, im not a Volus either. i didnt do anything special or employ any conscious money management strategy. i just played the game and searched every area of a map during missions and picked up all the extra missions (these are some things i would consider "normal" for any RPG gamer).

the only possible thing im thinking of that is preventing people from getting enough money is that they refuse to do any of the wall safe/PDA hacking minigames and/or they simply do not explore any of the game's environments and skip over any alternate routes (that may have loot) and dont bother to scan any planets for extra missions.

if thats the case you are in no position to be complaining

that's not the case. I search on every level for every pda/wall safe/computer terminal i can find. I can't swear I've found them all but it's not for lack of trying.

Oh noes you have to choose what to buy like a real consumer instead of just grabbing everything as though it were free! For once, Bioware actually manages a pretty realistic, engaging economy in one of their games, and it's somehow a bad thing? One of the few problems with Baldur's Gate, KotOR, and worst of all Mass Effect 1 was that money quickly became no object. In the former two franchises you could buy anything in any store you wanted, and in the latter you had nothing useful to buy once you had your favorite armor (which you most likely acquired randomly from some locker somewhere) and the Spectre weapons.

Illium has a stock exchange, right? Why can't you trade some of that stuff you mine for credits? It's not like I'll ever be short on palladium or something.

Yes, realism is a good thing. A "real consumer" w/Shepard's level of access to resources should be able to purchase everything that she/he wants, if she/he makes doing so a priority. Also, a "real consumer" with a ship full of valuable resources would be able to make some trades to obtain funds, while we're talking realism. In fact, given Shepard's connections and the value of his celebrity, he should have no trouble leveraging his assets to obtain whatever he wants. That would be a more "realistic, engaging economy" than what the game offers now.

But no matter, for the sake of engaging game play, I have no problem with having to work for it. I just want it to be possible. It appears some others have found ways to make it so. I'm trying to find out what they're doing.

Buy stuff that your going to use. I made the mistake of buying everything I saw.
