    Same here. I'm still doing Loyalty Missions trying to game Miranda and the Bald Chick. Still upgrading my ship before I go through the Relay. I was also trying to gain everyone's Loyalty but realized I screwed up early playing the middle; can't do that when you don't have a ME1 save.

    Game is awesome Only thing I hate is the create a character; all the options look weird no matter the tweak.

    Nope! Only beat it once and called it quits.

    The suicide mission at the end was intense, makes me pumped for Mass Effect 3!

    well i meant just going back to the last save and pick a different squad. I tried it out to see if a certain character dies, apparently i couldn't get a scenario where the character does not die.

    good game, it took me forever to beat it.

    You either didn't pick the right people for the right spot OR you didn't gain that person trust by completing their individual mission.

    I see this game being potentially overhyped and not delivering to the expectations. I highly doubt the studio can make a release a quality sequel with only 12 months of development, considering that Uncharted 3 releasing 2 years after Uncharted 2 is considered a great feat.
    It's not that I want the game to fail, but I just have this nagging hunch about it..

    They were developing 3 at the same time as 2, and they've been planning all along on making this a trilogy, so it's not like they've gone from ground zero in a year.

    Where is the 12 month number coming from? ME2 was in early 2010, ME3 will be in early 2012. Even then, I wouldn't really worry too much about lack of development time for the game. Lot of people working at BioWare, and as mentioned, they've probably been working on this whole project for a while. Plus, the game was already delayed, so they seem to be giving it extra time as needed (or at least some extra time...maybe not enough I guess).

    I'd be more worried about BioWare losing their "magic" with their recent releases, and how that might effect ME3.

    When I first played it Tali was shot in the face when trying to close a door. Then Legion and one other died, can't remember who though. I played it a second time from beginning to end and made it with the entire team and the Normandy's crew surviving. I had everyone's loyalty but Miranda's.

    Yes.

    For me, I had some of my characters dieing at the end, but I heard in order to have your entire squad to survive, u need to gain their respect by doing the missions they asked you to do involving them.

    I went right to the suicide mission, should've waited to gain more respect from the characters, oh well, still was a blast!

    Since I'm a completionist, I actually got everyone survivng the first time I played it. Actually, I have to force myself to NOT do the loyalty missions. Just feels like half a game otherwise.

    Besides the loyalty missions, you have to pick the right people for the right jobs during the suicide run, otherwise you lose them. Hint for everyone: when you get the opportunity, lose Mordin. He's not the best choice to "hold the line".
