Every playthrough Although, after doing it the first time, you know exactly which monkey to search in future.

Still, I like hearing the various monkey sounds when you touch them.

Interesting. I don't remember giving it to you the first time.

Wow. Just played two of the three alternate 'endings' of one of my character mates in the story (Virmire)...

Spoiler:

1:

Wrex: "You bitch."

BLAM!!!

2:

Shepard: "We can discuss this!"

Wrex: "No more talking, Shepard. We'll do this my way."

BLAM!!!

Ashley: "Not today, friend."

In the third one, the one I picked on my first playthrough, I was advanced enough in paragon skills to be able to talk Wrex out of it. But now it seems, after this, I have one less squad mate to choose from.

Well, I could have swore you did in one of our aim conversations or through PM.

Not so poor. He made whatever choices led him to where he ended up. My first Shepard (as Adept) saw him and Tali in the very final battle with Saren.

I finished my second playthrough last night (as a female Vanguard), with Tali and Liara (thus earning the Achievement for using Quarian squadmate all the way through).

I'm now on my third play as Trep Shepard (Sentinel), this time with Liara (once she joins up) and Garrus (hopefully to earn the Asari squadmate Achievement).

I was surprised by how early I got Tali's achievement in my current playthrough (fourth time). I'm using Tali and Liara, and her achievement unlocked with 7 or so clusters still to visit, including Virmire - much earlier than any of the other ally achievements have. Liara's has still to unlock though.

Edit: Hurrah, Liara's finally unlocked when opening the gate on Ilos.

Well, I was recently diagnosed with lyme disease so I really havent been able to buy much of anything latley. All my money is going towards medical stuff.

Right now, I only own... Guitar Hero 3, Oblivion, Bioshock, Burnout Revenge, Guitar Hero 2, and im striving to get Mass Effect.

oh and now rock band..

First bit of Mass Effect DLC announced.

Titled Bring Down the Sky, the downloadable content pack will be available from March 10 at 2 a.m. PST for 400 Microsoft points (ÂŁ3.40, $5). New content will include a new uncharted world and the introduction of a notorious alien race called the Batarians. The aliens have hijacked a mobile asteroid station in the Asgard region and set the ship on a collision course with nearby colony planet Terra Nova. Sounds like a job for Commander Shepard and his/her crew.
Bring Down the Sky adds approximately 90 minutes of extra gameplay and also has an extra achievement worth 50 Gamerscore points.

Mass Effect for the PC in May 2008. With controls and resolutions and everything!

This is awesome.

[Dale Baldwin]

I wasn't expecting that announcement quite so soon, especially with a May release date. Curious as to whether they'll include the Bring Down the Sky content in the PC release.

[Jazhara7]

Phew! Now I'm relieved I didn't invest in that Xbox after all last week (what really put me off was that the games have horrendous prices. Who they think I am? Croesus? ).

And May, they say? Hmmm, I might have to poke my mother to give me that to my sister's birthday (or actually, to her own birthday).

[RLacey]

May? Why must everything interesting come out while I'm trying to sit finals?

[Lucien21]

The Publishers are conspiring against you.

[Intrepid Homoludens]

I'm happy more people will be able to enjoy this marvelous game.

[Intrepid Homoludens]

Just finished last night my third playthrough, this time as a paragon/renegade mixture male Sentinel class Trep Shepard. Romanced Liara, picked Ash over Kaiden on Virmire, spared Wrex, and eventually chose Anderson for the Council in the end. I swear I'm inclined to play a fourth time! But I've run out of biotic class choices (I've played as Adept, Vanguard, and Sentinel). I could play again as a female Adept, but opt for the hot Liara over Kaiden this time.

Or I could wait for the Bring Down The Sky DLC in about two weeks and get back into Oblivion or Half-Life 2 til then.

[Intrepid Homoludens]

Bring Down The Sky is now available to download from XBL. Gonna cost you around 5 bucks (400 points) and weighs in at about 240MB and should take about 90 minutes to experience.

You may need to replay the game proper to when you are given the Normandy in order to access it once it's downloaded to you.

[weemies]

So awesome, that they are bringing the PC-version so soon. Finally I get to enjoy this game. I knew I shouldn't invest in X360.

Go read my arguments from a couple of years ago from this very thread. They still apply.
