Oopsie. I think it's just the way I think about the halfway point in the game. Also I can't remember when I usually recruit Tali when I play ME2, but I know it's usually "later".

I'll admit, Liara fascinated me in the first game. But then she bored me for the second game with the exception of the Shadow Broker DLC. She captured my attention again in the third game, but I'm not sure if I could romance her throughout the trilogy.

Maybe because before the Shadow Broker DLC what she had in the second game was essentially a cameo.

Yeah, I found it immensely disappointing that she didn't have a bigger role in that respect. To be drastically reduced like that was a big surprise, considering her role in the first game is quite crucial. I do hope we'll see her in the next game, but I'm not holding out since there's not a lot of news on that front yet.

Recruited Samara and Thane and they've given me their loyalty missions.
Also, does it matter when one takes on the Shadow Broker DLC? Or is it like the Firewalker stuff where it can just be done whenever? If Liara's in it I'm assuming it's got more plot than the other DLC?
Jaysus these two lay it on thick with the tragic back stories.
Samara: Pretty much liked her from the moment she stepped onto the screen. She's got that Auron type vibe of just being immensely wise and experienced, but instead of his cynicism she has this unflinching calm about her. Every good team needs the sage type person
I also very much like how she approaches the whole situation with Morinth being an Ardat Yahski (did I spell that right?). There's a great sort of motherliness in her voice when she describes Morinth but then it's followed up with her usual frankness.
She's a badass who isn't so stupid as to think being a badass means not giving a shit or becoming cold. I like her little moments of vulnerability, and I like even more that she has the wisdom to let them come out from time to time.
Thane: So Drell lungs can't deal with moisture in the air...At least they'll never invade Ireland
Drell seems to be another example of super awesome cutscene badassery with neck snapping and ventilation shaft crawling galore.
I do like the whole Assassin by trade but not really a killer by nature thing he's got going on. And I like his whole story with his family. No real fight, or conflict, just continuously growing a part until there wasn't anything there anymore.
Of the two I think Samara's made a greater impression on me so far.
Also been fucking around probing planets and getting upgrades and exploring. Landed on Tarith (I think it was called) and sweet jaysus creepy dragon aliens and lobster monsters O_o
Still haven't come across a Thresher Maw as far as I remember...But I am oh so very wary. Will never forget getting obliterated by that first one in ME1.
...
All I wanted was to mine some rocks...

I think I played it just before the big finale because Carlie wouldn't stop going on about how bloody amazing it was at the time. But yeah, what Joe said. It's singlehandedly the best DLC for the series, although Citadel (ME3) comes in extremely close at the same time.

Landed on Tuchanka. The reunion with Wrex was awesome. And pretty funny. And dat Reptilian Barry White voice. Hubba hubba.
Also did Mordin's loyalty mission. Didn't kill Maelon. Had Mordin save the research data.
I feel like I'm going to regret this decision and I don't really know why
This mission also made Mordin a lot more sympathetic and endearing. Not that he wasn't before, I always liked his character and hey, dude ran a medical clinic in a slum. But watching him still wrestle with the logic of the whole genophage situation and his own moral feelings about it was actually kind of heartbreaking.
Mordin gets screwed over by choices in this game as much as the player does ;_;
Damn you Bioware ¬_¬
Figure I might as well do Grunt's loyalty mission next since I'm here.

Re: Shadow Broker, I always do it as soon as it's available, simply because, from a gameplay perspective (not story), it's more useful the earlier you do it.
Plus the story in it is fantastic.
But it's nowhere near as good as Citadel MAN THAT DLC SO GOOD.
It's on par with Leviathan though.

You guys are making me want to play through the trilogy again.
Ok, maybe not the first one because sometimes it felt like a tedious chore.

ed: that reminds me, once I actually get back into playing me2 for that let's play, I need to remember to show myself modding my save so I can romance tali as femshep
