    I just skimmed through them, past the story related ones to the misc. achievements, and there are Biotic/Tech achievements, but no achievements for weapons.

    BTW, it never really said anything. The final achievements is "Survive the suicide mission" and we already knew there would be a suicide mission... and a Mass Effect 3.

    True, but you can still die at the end.

    Yep.

    But who would WANT to die at the end?

    EDIT- You know, there may be something like where all your actions through ME2 will have an impact on whether you die or not...

    ...Well, yeah. It's not like at the end there is a pop up that says Live or Die. The game will decide whether you live or not based on the loyalty of your party members. You can gain party members trust by completing missions for them, taking them on missions with you, and making decisions that they approve of.

    The outcome will be determined by the sum of everything you've done throughout the game, but Bioware has said that the majority of people will know what their outcome will be when going into the final mission.

    Throughout the game you will be gaining the loyalty of your crew. You gain an individuals loyalty generally by doing things they approve of. However, there is a much more diverse cast of characters in this game, so it will mean that in several circumstances that a decision may raise the loyalty of one crew member, while losing the trust of another.

    Going into the final mission, it should be pretty apparent whether or not you and your crew are up to snuff, and if you feel that you are not ready, you can continue to gain the loyalty of your crew.

    I would bet that either way it ends, the mission is a success. However, one ending will most likely have Shepard sacrifice himself to complete the mission, while the other one will offer him a chance to escape with his life, while still completing the mission.

    If your character dies, they won't be available for import into ME3. I could be wrong, but I believe I heard a developer mention that if you do try to import a playthrough in which you died into ME3, you'll just get a cut scene of Shepard's funeral.

    Gah...I jizzed too.

    The only way I can buy this game is if I trade in a couple games, and ask my parents for money. I hate asking my parents for money.

    That was an incredibly lame trailer.

    Hope the game is better then the trailer.

    You're joking right?

    That was one of the best trailers I've ever seen for a game.

    Yea that's right! Tz's a damn critic now. I lost interest in the game trailer mid-way through, but the beginning and end worked well. I felt as if they threw a bit of a filler in the middle to make it longer.

    I agree, it's quite epic...

    Also, does anyone know if you get to keep your old squad from Mass Effect 1? I know that you get to keep your love interest and all but I want to know if she will get to be in your squad and the like? I don't want to lose my Ashley, man... She was with me for to long for her to die on the Normandy in some explosion.

    I've been a naughty boy and read far more about this game than I should and I know these things in relation to your question.

    Spoilers! You have been warned!

    -Tali and Garrus return as playable Squad Members
    -Your Love Interest returns to chit-chat but cannot be in your squad

    Speaking of love interests....

    You can boink Tali, but you still won't see what she's hiding under that suit...

    And Finally...

    Joker is an optional Love Interest as a Male Shepard.

    OK not really...(If only)

    Oh, shi... What has the world come too!

    And, NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I can only talk to my Ashley while on the Normandy but she can't be in my squad? I don't like that at all, Why would Bioware do such a thing to me? What's the point of her if she is only going to stay on the ship and be able to talk to me?

    From what I've been reading (and this stuff I'm not as sure about) it seems your ME1 Love Interest may not even hang around on the Normandy for you to speak to them, i.e. you get one small section of the story to communicate with them and that's it, toodles!

    If that's true I will only be staying faithful in one of my playthroughs.

    Are you a pine because you pine after my love? Well, I'm sorry but you don't give me sufficient wood. So like the hammer said to the wall "You just got nailed"
