Mass Effect 2 is out, and is accompanied by a new trend in EA video games: Free DLC for those who buy the game brand new. Is dishing out 60 dollars worth the 15 dollar DLC? Is the game worth a rental or even a used copy purchase? Hit the jump to find out.
Miranda’s Loyalty Mission (The Prodigal) will take us to Illium for a really big rescue mission. We need to kill a bunch of Eclipse mercs and then rescue Miranda’s twin from her father. If you need any help clearing a path, then look here.
Mass Effect 2 features a larger cast of characters than the original Mass Effect. This character guide covers all of the characters and gives recommendations about which are the best of certain situations. Part 1 covers Garrus, Mordin, Grunt, Samara, Jack, and Tali.
We’re going to add a good sniper to our party now. Thane is a top assassin and he’s right in the middle of a mission on Illium. We need to move in and protect him, which means killing a whole lot of security inside the building.
Well, we’re going into to recruit a krogan warlord called Okeer. This means a full raid on a Blue Suns research base and a fight against their hordes of rabid krogan inside the lab. If you need any help recruiting a krogan or killing Jedore, then look here.
Jack’s loyalty mission (Jack: Subject Zero) will be a little romp back to her childhood in the Cerebus Facility. You’ll get to do a little digging into her background, get some element zero, and gain Jack’s loyalty through a surprisingly small amount of fighting.
After our first round of recruitment will need to make a stand against the collectors on Horizon. This fight will introduce us to the main enemy, the Harbinger, and a new particle beam heavy weapon. If you need any help with the battle, then look here.
Grunt’s loyalty mission (Rite of Passage) will take us to Tuchanka for a series of tests to prove his powers in combat. We’ll need to meet the Chief of Clan Urdnot and then kill some varren, klixen, and a thresher maw before we’re done.
The Gift of Greatness is Jacob’s Loyalty mission. We’ll be going out to investigate the distress call from the crash site of his father’s ship. There’s something not quite right about the situation though. We’ll need to investigate and search for Jacob’s father through the survivors’ camp.
