I did. All goodies in by the time I finished it, but didn't finish all the side-quests. I didn't know about that KIAs, though Garrus helped me kill that evil guy... or was that ME1?

I had all upgrades as well. The only person I lost was Jack, who I didn't really like anyways.

Yeah, the ship upgrades are instrumental for the survival of your crew. I did all of my upgrades but still lost one person. However, the loyalty of the character and whether you're renegade/paragon also has an influence on who lives and who dies.

I honestly don't recall who on my team died or didn't die, it's been too long, but I'm pretty sure I got as many of those upgrades as were available to me, so it was probably the minimum.

You know, it says a lot about a video game, or any other type of interactive (or passive) entertainment that can draw you into a story and/or the universe it's based on to such a degree that you feel so strongly about the fictional relationships between the main character and the various supporting characters, and when a character suffers or expires prematurely it actually affects you beyond the game itself. I was genuinely upset that so many characters were killed at the end of the game, and it was directly connected the the choices I made during the game. I feel responsible, and while I know it's entirely fictional I still feel like I failed each character for letting it happen, as if it actually happened.

Anyway, this has got to be bad for (Shaun) Shepard when I pick up where I left off in Mass Effect 3...wish me luck.

What a coincidence - I'll probably start ME 2 this weekend (after having it for about a year). I just kept getting side-tracked as new games came out, but December and January will be months of financial austerity for me so this is the perfect time to finally play it. That and I pretty much finished Skyrim.

Don't forget to get all of the DLC's for ME 2, especially "The Arrival" which will tie in directly to ME 3.

That's the DLC with Charlie Sheen, but it's fairly low-budget.

Charlie Sheen dlc? Or Martin Sheen who plays that shadowy character.
WINNING!
