the minerals get you xp!

Re: mass effect
 

I have been playing this a lot just beating the side missions to pass time and not beat the game too quickly, but I came into a bit of a problem. One one of the assignments is the "Fan" one. I am suppose to talk to a guy somewhere in the Citadel but I cant find him. I talked to a fan and gave him an autograph, but I think this is what triggered the assignment. Thoughts ideas?

Re: mass effect
 

Also the easiest way to get money is to just survey all the planets in the systems you are traveling through. It gives you xp and cash...makes purchasing anything easy I had 500K before I even really started playing the actual storyline.

Side quest :The Fan is one you do over a length of time, check back after you do your next main storyline mission or side quest one.

Re: mass effect
 

Yeah, for the fan leave the Citadel and then come back.

One thing which is starting to get on my nerves is how slow first aid is to respond. If I suddenly find myself getting shot at from 20 different angles and my shields get depleted, I'm basically dead, because by the time I can use first aid and whip out a Shield Boost I'm [censored] dead and it's time to load up the old saved game.

Also irritating that if I'm not on top of saving after every battle I have to replay long portions of the game if I die. Autosave intervals could have been decreased by a lot.

That said, I can't stop playing. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] In the middle of the Noveria mission, holy crap that's long.

Took me 40 hours to beat the game all in all. Finished at level 49 w/ every quest complete except for the pointless find minerals one.

I'm going to put this one aside for a week and then come back and try to beat it real quick as a renegade. Awesome game will def be buying the rest of the trilogy.

I guess the achievement for level 60 must be on veteran then . . .

there's one mild spoiler about an event on Virmire so it might be better to read it after finishing the planet.

Re: mass effect
 

I'm at exactly the 25 hour mark and just finished all the side quests. I'm about to start the main quests at lvl 31 with 1.7 million creds. It'll be nice to start the main quests with my main talents maxed out and Spectre weapons.

Surveying is an excellent way to get money, look around on planets you land on, there are usually 2-3 unmarked survey nodes on each.

Re: mass effect
 

I just now realized that the elevator on the ship takes you down to the lower decks and not up to the main one....

This is after 25 hours of play. I wondered why the ship was so small.

Re: mass effect
 

Yeah, spit game at the honey in the bottom.

Daer, good call man. I haven't done all the side quests, but I have done a good portion. I believe my Character is around lvl 30, and I finally got to Virmire.


The money part of this game is fairly stupid, as is the store aspect. I've basically barely used both thus far.
