Sylvf @sylvf1 When I came on, ME2 was 2-3 weeks from cert and EVERYONE was bugtesting. I played through it 8 times!
After that, we released a news story every week in the world of Mass Effect under the banner of "Cerberus Daily News". I wrote about 1/4th of CDN's stories, it was a lot of fun.
I loved the fight on the outside of the Shadow Broker's ship. Throwing dudes off the hull and watching them get taken by the wind was magical.
Yeah thast's definitely one of the cool things about being a biotic in that level
I liked how me2 did biotics. The everything is an explosion thing that started in ME3 was a step in the wrong direction for me.
Combos are cool. But try to have logical combos based on what the combo is. Lift they are weightless so throw throws them much further. Warp is unstable so it causes an explosion. Maybe some things have no effect like lift plus a freeze effect or maybe they take extreme falling damage when the lift ends if they are still frozen.
BioWare @bioware When your squadmates survive the suicide mission to make it to your birthday. Happy ten years, Mass Effect 2!
Why have only ME1 characters in the image? Why not include ME2 characters as well that aren't ME1?

Yeah ME3 biotics were a bi tweak compaerd with the rest of the series. The onl yreally powerful biotic powers in ME3 seemed to belong to the Vanguard class in the Charge Nova and Shockwave. Thankfull MEA handled Biotics better and reminded me why I fell in love with those powers when that came out. Though I must admit the Pull and Lash powers are great against the shielded enemies

After that, my first credited-in-a-game work was the ME2 DLC, Lair of the Shadowbroker. It was a great piece of content to work on, because we had so much of the team free to really polish it up.
I'm glad it worked! I seem to recall it was @theotherhepler who wrote all the stuff leading up to ME3 proper, he was the lead guy on CDN.
It was a real joy to be able to invent stuff for them, because of course the only budget was the word count and the ME universe felt like a giant playpen for sci-fi ideas.
I remember giving my feedback on my first playthrough of ME2 because, of course, it was all fresh to me, and basically feeling I was so lucky to be there because it was clearly something special.

Isnt it that how it is working? If I freeze with either cryo ammo or cryo beam or snap freeze, the lift does nothing else than lift and drop when it ends. Not sure if enemy gets damage when hitting ground. If I throw at frozen target, it'll detonate the frosting when hitting it.

It’s always a explosion with mainly cosmetic differences. Why does throw detonate anything at all.

Cryo can spread and even kill low level enemies when exploding. Fire can spread too I think, tech explosion stuns and can leave area of stunning electricity behind. Biotic explosion and concussive weapons will throw lesser enemies around with force.
I think throw is an impact detonator.

Joe Juba @joejuba I meant to post this yesterday, so happy belated 10th birthday, Mass Effect 2! I was fascinated by the inner workings of the suicide mission when the game came out, so @bioware helped me make this flowchart to explain it all. It was such a satisfying peek under the hood!

The actuall problem with the end of ME2 is the Endboss. Like during last briefings from Bioware TopTiers asked how do they explain that Reapers suddenly harvest people, for what and why. And it needed an end fight. But every decision in this mission is relativated for ME3. Either Cerberus has problems nor somehow it gives the player an advantage. To complete this Shepard suddenly has not his own upgrades anymore. They are gone, because of reasons.
Published Bioware actually a chart of players decisions in Andromeda?
Mark Meer That feeling when you realize Mass Effect 2 is 10 years old... Happy anniversary to the all folks at @bioware who worked on the game and to #MassEffect fans across the cosmos! #MassEffect2 #Bioware #10years #CommanderShepard

Yeah that’s sort of my point. Though I put the emphasis in a different spot I guess. They are almost all detonators or primers. It’s 90% damage with a small variation of special effect. There shouldn’t be a damaging explosion at all unless it fits the combo. Make it a cool combo but without the very samey damaging explosion with small effect variations.
Play Diaries @playdiaries Ten years since its launch, ex-BioWare Edmonton/Montreal GM aarynflynn and lead writer @drewkarpyshyn talk to us on Mass Effect 2 and its legacy a decade on. And whether we'll ever see that remastered collection of the Shepard trilogy. 👀

Don't recall if I've seen that chart before. I always used the chart in this thread.

Her: they say we're strong and we don't know we won't find out until we rage Him: well I don't know if all that's true 'cause you got blood rage, and baby I got it too
Him: blood rage Both: I got blood rage I got blood rage
Her: they say our rage won't pay the rent before it's earned, our rage's all been spent Him: I guess that's so, we don't have ryncol but at least the varrans and pyjaks ain't all
Him: blood rage Both: I got blood rage I got blood rage
Him: I got blood rage in the ring I got clan armor in the spring Her: and when I'm mad, you're the beast and if I get scared, you're always killing things
Her: so let them say your hump's too big 'cause I don't care, without you I can't go rage Him: then put your little hand in mine there are lots of pyjak and varran on which to dine
Him: blood rage Both: I got blood rage I got blood rage

A very popular young singer right now, won lots o Grammys recently I think. She's pretty good, even an old bloke like me likes her music. In Australia we just had out yearly hottest 100 songs and she got number 1 and had at least 3 songs in it.
