The next title in the series, tentatively titled "Mass Effect 2", plans to use much of the same game mechanics as the first title in the series. Not much is known yet about "Mass Effect 2" – Casey Hudson, Project Director for BioWare, has said that players should keep their "Mass Effect" save-files, because decisions made by the player in the first game will continue to have influences on their character in the sequel. Players who have not played the first "Mass Effect" will start a new character in "Mass Effect 2", and will be brought up to speed on the story elements that have taken place thus far in the series.

Oburi said:Fuxberg, looks like you were correct!
Aazealh said:"New character" here doesn't refer to an actual different character that wouldn't be Shepard...
Ah and the DLC info was not released, for info. Annoying.
Oburi said:Btw how many hours is Mass Effect? I'm 20 hours in and it seems like the story is getting pretty serious, more serious than I though considering I spent most of the time doing side quests and exploring.
Aazealh said:It's a short game, for a RPG. From what you're saying, I believe you're approximatively 2/3 done.
Oburi said:Wow that sucks. It's so fucking short!!! Luckily the replay value is high Still though, a game with this much content should be longer, much longer, hopefully the sequel will improve on that. Do you have this game for the console or pc Aaz? I would like to get all the achievements for this if I can.

Headline says it all. No spoilers this time. Promise.
Oburi said:Did anyone play the downloadable expansion? I forget the name but is it worth paying for?

fuxberg said:But with the side quests you can extend your game play to 50/60h. Although not very good the side quests have a side story (Admiral Kohaku's men and Shepard's investigation on that matter).

Aazealh said:60 hours? I did everything in the game (and I mean everything, even collecting minerals and whatnot) in under 40 hours. And I don't think I rushed it either. Don't mistake me, I really love Mass Effect, but for a RPG it is rather short.
fuxberg said:Is the time from a previous playthrough added to the next when replaying ME with the same char?
If so there's the answer.

Oburi said:If you choose a new game+ can you continue to get things you missed in your first playthrough?
Oburi said:Can you even remodel your character if lets say I wanted to play as a female when I go back?
March of Flames said:I quit playing this game for about 8 months after being stuck on a certain boss at level 7.
March of Flames said:I want to play until I get the Rage X armor for Wrex and Colossus X armor...looks amazing.
Aazealh said:Level 7? Where was that?
You might have some trouble with that because the game is capped to lvl 50 on your first play-through.
March of Flames said:I only did a handful of assignments and went straight to Feros and couldn't even survive a full minute fighting Benezia.
March of Flames said:I'm at 56 right now and it's pretty hard to level up. I really liked the story and the game ending was awesome so now I'm excited about ME2.
March of Flames said:The combat is so much better now that I'm a high level that I can't wait to fight in the new game. I would warp, lift, shoot, throw and there was so much chaos going since my abilities are so powerful. I've lifted and then tossed someone over a mountain the other day. Now I have to go play it!
Do you have your Asari Ally achievement yet?fuxberg said:Man I'm pissed.
And tired of waiting for my DLC.
