Hello everyone!!

Just decided to post this because out of all the guilds that I have, The Suites seems to be more civilized, mature and polite.

Well, I guess this game got the best out of me. @.@ I don't like it at first because it seems like it's a turn base RPG shooter, but I was wrong. Now I believed the saying "Don't judge a book by it's cover." X3

So, people of Suites, I'm sure there are many gamers out there.. I need your help!! I'm new to the world of Mass Effect and let's talk about it. And I'm just sticking in for the story so I'm playing it on Casual mode, which is Noob mode. ^^

Well, what do you guys think of Mass Effect? ;3
Guides and builds are always appreciated!

They're both good games, I've completed them both.

The only bad thing about ME2 is that unless your playing it on hard there is only really one upgrade for your guns. There are some more powerful guns... they just all have massive drawbacks, like the machine gun that's really powerful but inaccurate to the point where it's pretty much useless.

I did enjoy the story though, it's a very immersive game.

Really... Only one upgrade for your guns? @.@ So that's why they said it's harder to take enemies out in hard mode. And ammos are quite an issue with the sniper rifles. X_X Yes, you guessed it! I'm an Infiltrator.

I started at ME2... Just need to do Jack's, Tali's and Legion's loyalty then I'm off..... Need to do side quests first to raise my Paragon/Renegade points since I'm stuck at Miranda Vs Jack's fight. I like Miranda but I need to get Jack loyal too.

Do you have a favorite squad member? Mine's Garrus and Thane.

I started as an Infilrator... then I restarted the game as Soldier, I got fed up of having to use the Pistol and Soliders get a sniper rifle anyway. I didn't think the stealth power was that great really where as slowing time is really useful, especially for headshots.

I like to have the full range of powers. So I would go with Grunt/Garrius with Miranda/Jack/Vincidator

I recommend training Reave as your specialist skill btw. As Infiltrators have nothing to get through barriers, also it gives you health back which is always good.

I'm making a 2nd run once I finish it. I want to try out all those classes the game has to offer and so far, I'm enjoying being an Infiltrator.

I also like Grunt! This guy just won't die.... Hell, I can leave him and finish the job for me. LOL! And Miranda too, because of the boost. But all in all, Garrus and Thane are the best. I like Thane more though...

Samara's Reave right? Sure thing! I was actually torn between Warp Ammo or Armor Piercing but I guess I'll go with Reave.

I love ME, & ME2. The stories are pretty great, but you expect that from a Bioware game.

My favorite class in both games was the Vanguard, especially with the assault rifle bonus skill in the first game, & in ME2, either of the pistols with incendiary ammo, are pretty versatile, range, power, & a decent rate of fire, & you've got a shotgun for stuff that gets too close. And Biotic Charge rapes, Shockwave's fun too.

Scrub is totally right about Reave though, massive damage, & it heals you if you use it on a live enemy.

My favorite party's though are Mordin, & Thane, or Tali, & Garrus.
Mordin is awesome, & Thane's pretty rad too.
But come one? Tali, & Garrus, are the best, they're old school, Garrus took a level in badass, & Tali's adorable.

Huh, I was considering making a Vanguard for my 2nd game, but I ended up going with the Engineer. Combat drones are fun ^_^ My first was Infiltrator though which I also started with in ME1. I really like the techy classes.

Garrus & Tali are my favorites too heart for all the reasons Renard mentioned.

@scrub: Wait... what are you talking about with the updgrades? I'm certain I ran into several weapon stat boosters on normal mode to upgrade my guns.

Yeah, high five! They're the best.

Also, yeah Scub, I found several upgrades two. or three for each weapon type. But I always played on the highest difficulty I could so, maybe that's why. A better loots, for tougher baddies type thing, maybe.

So Reave is better than Garrus' Armor Piercing and Jack's Warp ammo? Thanks guys!! X3

Everyone loves Tali!
I really can't go Renegade/Dominate on her.
I think Tali's the most popular female character in ME other than female Shepard...
Hey guys, do you know what a Quarian looks like underneath that mask?
I can tell that they have human nose though because of Tali's silhouette.

I think Thane's a pretty cool guy eh slowly dies of lung disease, & doesn't afraid of anything.

Doing the Suicide mission later. Well, hope we all survive.
Any tips you wanna share to a rookie in world of ME?
Oh crap.. I didn't get Reave yet.... And I can't go back because of the autosave. >.<

RENARD:
Yep, Thane's my fave too.

Tali, & Garrus are better than Thane.
If everyone has the little loyalty circle in the party selection screen they'll probably all live.
Take Garrus, & probably Thane or Legion for the final battle thingy snipers make it way easier.
