Mass Effect 2 is going to be a huge game and I’m excited but there still are some questions that need answered. A recent post on the Mass Effect 2 blog has answered some of those questions. I’ll give you the highlights here.

Paragon vs Renegade has become much more interesting. In Mass Effect 2, not only do your choices effect your companions but it now effects the ending of the game. Apparently there will be several “satisfying” endings to the game depending on the choices  you make. One of these choices is a suicidal heroes ending.

In Mass Effect 2 you’ll be able to import saved game files from the first Mass Effect game which will affect your game in 2! This is a crazy great idea to reward those fans (such as myself) who played through the entire game and did everything. Those who never played the first will still have no problem playing 2 but now if you so choose you can go back and play the first game so that you too will have saved game files. What is awesome is that every little thing you do in the first game will some how affect the sequel. Bravo BioWare.

Pausing combat still exists but now you can manually instruct each companion to do specific things instead of the clunky general ones from the first. A new heat sink eject feature will allow you to immediately cool down a weapon instead of waiting on it to do so. Slow elevators seem to be a thing of the past and alien love scene just may return. Watch out now!
