    This keeps looking better and better. I may make just one more new char in MA1 so I have three options to transfer over characters (that made different decisions) and see how those decisions from MA1 impact MA2.... CAN NOT WAIT!

    I wish more games carried over saves from game to game so you can see your consequences played out. Advent Rising was supposed to do it... though looks like sales killed Majestic's planned sequels. I know the HACK games did it, but HACK was one of the very few anime series I just couldn't get into, so never played any of the PS2 games. The GBA RPGs Golden Sun allowed carrying over saves, which was cool, but I am hard pressed to think of others where consequences in one game have an impact on the sequel. To be clear, I'm not talking about carrying over items and such, but actual narrative choices having an impact carried over from game to game. Many games, specifically JRPGs allows you to import some items from game to game [e.g. Monster Hunter series on PSP] but not choices.

    I posted a link to a video of this plus a video about the return of Tali a few days ago. Here we go: The ME2 forum is your friend

    [nitpick] In the Mass Effect universe, they're called "biotics". [/nitpick]

    I used a full-on Soldier for my main runs in the first game, so I only created a Biotic user to get achievement. This time around, however, I might be a Vanguard so I can get access to some of these.

    I'm definitely playing some kind of Biotic character during this one, they look too much damn fun to be without them.
    Actually I want this now, quit screwing around and release it early Bioware
