I installed overlord, ran givemeentitlements and launched game. it said I don't have disk in drive so I igured it must've patched the game during Overlord DLC installation. So I overwritten .exe with 1.01 crack by Vitality and it works just fine.

Don't know about the new 1.02 Vitality release, I finished DLC before they released it... I don't think you even need that release since it works with 1.01 crack just fine.

As I mentioned a bit earlier the DLC includes and re-installs 1.01 again unless installed manually (It's a 7-zip EXE archive.) 1.02 would be recommended due to other fixes but shouldn't be required. Smile

I think the only reason why some DLCs reinstall 1.01, is because they don't see cracked exe as 1.01 exe.

These DLCs were clearly ripped out of the full game and now Bioware expects us to pay for the full game several times. Still finding missing upgrades from the retail in these DLCs. Not only is it blatantly ripping off your customers it also feels damaging to the game.

Now with all these DLCs installed the game finally feels more rich - adequately rich as opposed to the state it was in on initial release; poor armor and weapon inventory, serious lack of side missions, missing characters, binds for vehicle controls which isn't in the game, etc.

This really impacted the impression of the game for me. When I finish patching up the game with DLC (for which I'm not giving up another cent) I'll replay it once again including ME1 to create my perfect save for ME3.

Yeah but I can always bitch. Let's break it down.

Initial purchase:

Mass Effect 2 (Vulgaris) $49.99
OR
Mass Effect 2 (Addons) $59.99

so from that difference:

Collector Armor + Assault Rifle
Incisor Rifle
Cerberus Network card (the rest)
--------------------------------
Total: $10.00

..and the rest of the game via paid DLC:

Alternate Appearance Pack: $1.39
Kasumi - Stolen Memory: $4.88
Equalizer pack: $1.39
Overlord: $4.88
--------------------------------
Total: $12.54

So the grand total for getting the ACTUAL FULL VERSION of Mass Effect 2 is:

Mass Effect 2: $49.99
Cerberus items $10.00
Addons: $12.54
--------------------------------
Total: $72.53

// Edit, missed 10 bucks.

Balls. Just finished ME2 for a second time, and just realized it was only released earlier this year. It's gonna be an unbearable wait for ME3 Sad

I think I am going to stick with my first playthrough from ME1 and ME2, even though I'm regretting saving the Collector base (even though I did almost everything Paragon-style). I saved the Rachni queen in part 1, and got the message in the second part that she will be there to help when the darkness comes (suck it Reapers, you didn't count on the Rachni!). Also, I saved Wrex.

Any idea when we'll start hearing anything about ME3, or how long the wait might be?

I'd say q4 '11 at earliest. But they might easily pull a call of duty on us ...

Yeah well, explaining it takes away the charm, but here goes.

We all know COD is released yearly, no innovation, just like EA sports games, the sole reason for releasing it is milking the cow. The way BioWare sells games lately also milks the cow. (think silly DLCs, and then World of Star Warscraft).

I was implying, that I wouldn't put it past BioWare to milk the ME series hard (if they logistically could), by releasing yearly.

It was all a pun, but now, I think I should just delete the whole thing.

Hehe. I hadn't refreshed the page, and so I typed my reply before I saw his explanation. Thanks though Smile

Oh, and not into CoD at all, so that's why the reference was lost on me Smile

Finished the new DLC. It was actually really good, that makes two in a row that have pretty decent in my book. Story was fairly engaging in that above average side quest way. I loved the Aliens-esque type area, great atmosphere in the beginning portion waiting for shit to pop out at you. The planet was well designed and alive, a huge improvement over ME1 Mako planets and such. This one would of been really cool to have in the original game and first play-through, along with Kasumi 's. These two especially felt like main game cut content rather than just tacked on DLC bullshit. Whether or not you're of the opinion they were originally cut for time/resources or for the express purpose of making them DLC... whatever.

It was nice to have some Shepard voice at least, but it's fucking weird to have the people I bring along totally mute aside from obviously left over recorded lines. Also...

Or all links at once for easier download:

Then you just need to run giveme2entitlements_v2.exe (I prefer this) or MassEffect2DLCUnlocker.exe and of course disable online features in game.

Lack of side missions??
You Sir, are pathetic.

I have a hard time finding a game (make that ANY game) that kept me on my toes for more than 70 hours (excluding any sort of grindfest syndromes, which I wouldn't touch anyway).
Personally, I dare to say that it's too long.
