Bought the game on the weekend.
So far I seriously dislike all the weapons I've used. I hope they get better as you go along and get more powerful.
Just finished the walk-through mission as a soldier, going to have to do it again because I still haven't figured everything out.
And what level should I be when we arrive planetside? I still haven't figured out how to tell if I dinged or not.
If its like ME1, ten you have to go to the character screen and spend skill points. I'm not sure if you know that.Quote:

Whoops...thought you said ME2...then yeah you go to the menu and select squad. you should see points you can spend on up-ing skills..Quote:

If you see that you have a large number of points to spend, then that'll explain why your weapons suck. You spend points to improve your damage and accuracy. The more you have vested in a trained weapon, the tighter your aiming receptacle will be, the more damage you do, less cool down, and etc. You also use these points to unlock new abilities.
I hate auto-leveling...
I purchased Mass Effect on Steam about a week ago and I love it! I thought Fallout III was great, but ME suits me better: it feels more like an action game than a pure RPG-game, and you actually get to have a squad with you and not just a dog. :)
I wish the Steam version would tie into Windows Live. I hate to say it, but I want those achievements to show up on my gamertag.
I have GFWL.Quote:

Works fine in Fallout 3 and works fine in Bioshock 2

I'm surprised at how fast you can actually play through the campaign if you skip all the planet searching and silly side missions/dialogue. Probably took me roughly 2-3 hours, 4 at the max.
You can only change your party at the start of a missions? Pretty f-ing sad.
It makes sense though...part of the tactic in the game choosing which partners and their abilities you can use against certain enemies.Quote:

Not to mention several of the achievements are to keep certain party members with you through the entire game.
By walking back to the Normandy. i't snot that complicated to understand.Quote:

Case in point, on your first trip to the Citadel you can only swap members when a new party character is recruited. Why can't I change my party at the embassy or at the docking bay where the Normandy is docked?
****, just let me go to a hyper terminal and do it.
