Complete Tali'Zora's recruitment mission to find the Geth Pulse Rifle in the room where you find Tali. You can then change the difficulty back to its original setting. Have Dominate ability and keep Samara alive Dominate is a very useful Biotic ability that allows you to control organic enemies and turn them into allies, similar to the Hack ability that controls synthetics. In order to get this ability as a Loyalty mission bonus to use for your character, you must help Morinth kill Samara during the latter's loyalty mission. However, if you wish to keep Samara on your team but still have Morinth's Dominate ability, use the following trick. Play Samara's loyalty mission up to the point where Samara confronts Moritnth. Save the game immediately before the confrontation. When it is time to choose who you will eliminate, choose the option that lets Morinth get the upper-hand on Samara and kill her. Create a separate saved game file. Go to the ship and talk to Morinth. Load the previous saved game then have Samara kill Morinth. You now get to keep Samara as a squad mate and have Morinth's Dominate ability when you choose a bonus loyalty power to add to your character in the prototype upgrade screen. Unlimited skill points Recruit Morinth to get the Dominate skill and get a large amount of Element Zero. Purchase the Advanced Training upgrade and choose Dominate. This result in a bonus skill point, which is then used by the Retrain Powers upgrade. Repeat this process to get another skill point. Garrus: Elevators reference Travel with Tali and Garrus, the recurring party members. Eventually they will have a conversation about the elevators. Garrus will fondly remember the interesting conservations they had about Quarrians. Tali gets very upset about to the point of threatening Garrus with her shotgun to stop. Ending with both Jack's and Miranda's loyalties Do not play Miranda's loyalty mission at first. Instead, wait for Jack's mission to become available and play it first. After the mission when they are fighting, support Jack. Miranda's loyalty will be low. Then, play her loyalty mission to get it back. Legion: Unusual dialog * Take Legion to the Citadel. Talk to Anderson and the customs officer. * Take Legion to the migrate fleet on Tali's Loyalty mission. Security will force you to remove him unless you can persuade them otherwise. * Take Legoin to recruit Tali. She will try to shoot him. Recruiting Tali: Sunlight exposure While recruiting Tali on Haestrom, direct sunlight will damage you and your squad's shields and Biotic barriers. Because Grunt uses armor, he is unaffected by the sunlight and does not suffer weakened defenses while directly exposed. Humorous dialogue Wander around the ship in between missions to hear some funny quotes. * Stand next to Jeff "Joker" Moreau (the pilot) without interacting with him. You will hear him say things such as the following. "Why is it always claws and guns? Can't we piss off a fuzzy planet? Still dangerous, I know. But hey, bunnies." "Two years and everything hits the crapper. That'll teach you to die on me." "You know what I hate about deep space? Crap radio stations from two centuries back. My gosh, we were idiots." * Stand near the two engineers near the Mass Effect Core to hear the the following. Engineer Daniels: "Did you know we're sharing our deck with a krogan?" Engineer Donnelly: "Well that's just peachy." Planet scanning Notice after you press Triangle, the planet information screen on the right will tell you if the scan of planet reveals if it is "Rich", "Moderate", or "Poor". Rich planets typically give about 10+ good scan for ores. Ore yields vary from 1,500 to 3,000. Moderate will give about 8+ good scans, but around 35% to 55% yield compared to rich planets. Poor will give 5+ scans with yields 5% to 25% compared to rich planets. Note: If there is an anomaly on the planet (usually a rich planet) and you land before you scan, typically the Star Map on the Normandy will put you in a strange location away from the anomaly planet. Go back and rescan to get your ores. Bonus Paragon or Renegade points Look carefully during conversations for a prompt at the top left area of the screen. Quickly press L2 when the wings appears for extra Paragon points. Quickly press R2 when the star appears for extra Renegade points. |
