Basic strategy remains the same: go into your item menu every 10-15 minutes and melt down almost all of your equipment into Omni-Gels. It's a hassle, yeah, but it beats having to spend 15 minutes every hour turning over a hundred items into Omni-Gels.

There's a 150 item limit and nothing stacks. And you get four weapon mods every time you look left.

I like the dialogue when it's not important and nothing else about Mass Effect

I have a short essay somewhere on another forum

Yet here I am on my second play through just to hunt out more amazing gems (on the god damned 360 version)

It was not.  I didn't run into it until that one moonbase, because i dumped everything I had no interest in every time i had an opportunity, but it's very much there.

Best not to go with Omni-gelling things until you have the 1 million funbux that unlocking the Spectre store requires.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

I remember there being a text file you could edit to take out the item limit, but I'm too lazy to Google it for you.

I always preferred a defensive soldier Shepherd, where you would just stand in the middle of a million things and cycle your cooldowns (one of which you would always have up) to pretend like you had turned on Godmode.

That being said, every other time I've played the game it has involved Jedis with shotguns.

Sniping is fun but it's definitely turning on Harder Than Normal Mode.

It's fun the first time, but on subsequent playthroughs you'll really grow to fucking hate that place.

I bought Pinnacle Station because I was not in the mood for the bullshit. That was a mistake.

Yeah, at least early on when neither you nor your gun has any scoped accuracy or heat dissipation.  Sniping tears shit right up later, though... when any other gun can also do that.

Right now my sniper rifle is a rocket launcher, which is pretty fucking good, actually

For some reason, I've enjoyed playing the engineer-type classes, the ones that have you equipping an omni-tool, and specializing in pistols.  Sure, it might not be as glamorous as assault rifling everything down, but it gets the job done.

Also, sniper rifles.  I like them once I get trained up a bit in them.

The pistol is a fucking monster in Mass Effect, actually. Especially when you use your Pistol Talent (I think it's called Marksman?), which basically turns every blast into a headshot.

Personally, I'm more drawn to Biotics. Creating mini-black holes is fun!

Tali may still not love you, but she's a confirmed crew member again. WHY CAN'T YOU LOVE ME LIKE I LOVE YOU, MY ENCOUNTER SUITED BUTTERFLY?!

This is good news, as we now have at least one person i would actually want to have in my party. All the characters who are described as "ruthless, unpredictable and extremely violent" (i.e. all -tali) can stay on the Normandy, thanks a lot.

Sorry. His name is Thane. He is "The Deadliest Assassin ever to have lived".

Didn't mean to get your hopes up.

Why can't I romance Tali, I asked? I received no answer. The question still burns in my heart.
