Same here (surprise, logic prevails). I’m wondering what they’ll do in ME3 if you lost the majority of your crew. Probably we’ll get a full new set of new chars again (yeeha!).

Nope. All the team was accounted for at the end.

I’ve been thinking about getting Bioshock 2, but right now I’m kinda “Meh”. Maybe later when it’s a) cheaper and b) some time has passed since ME2. March is going to be a hard month anyway with so much good stuff coming.

You lose anyone in the ME2 finale? I suppose not Shepard, anyone else though?

Mass Effect 2 didn’t fail to deliver.

Altho there are a few areas of the game that seemed to have been tweaked (with a sledge hammer) between ME1 and 2 the game itself didn’t disappoint.

Played it through with 2 of my characters from ME1. The one were i let the council die (by accident… mostly) was somewhat darker. The one were the council lived on to ignore me another day made me feel like i should have let the gits die. But that’s the beauty of a game were your choices have consequences, a trend that’s picking up some steam with a few games recently (albeit slowly. Bioshock 2′s take on the whole action & consequence was very well done tho I’m not about to say why or it will spoil the surprise if you haven’t played it yet).

The one thing that seemed awkward about ME2 is that if your starting a New game without an import character the game makes some interesting assumptions.
- The council died: They weren’t very likeable so i can accept that most people would have opted for this, if only by accident.
- Udina was left in charge: this one i don’t get, the guy was a complete weasel with a hint of power hungry despot. Odd choice.

It will be interesting to see how all of this plays out in the third installment
