After playing the game a bit more I raised the difficulty level to insanity and did some scanning. Its not that bad. I have accepted it for what it is and can now see myself prolly having more fun in the long run with this one then ME1. Oh and by the way adept on insanity isn't really that bad. I can pretty much still kill everything, the only thing that sucks in the amount of damage I can take but since I usually don't get hit much not a big deal. I checked other forums and a lot others tend to agree with me that it prolly is one the best classes you could use

We didn't emerge out of the stone age because we ran out of stones. Its time to be proactive not reactive.

The first one was much better, more memorable characters and better battle system. And am I the only one who finds the plot just decent? Everyone praises it but I don't feel like its any better than other story driven games, good, but not mind blowing.

Hmm I think plot is better than in first one as well lot more detail have been put into the world also the QTE dialog interaction brings a lot of live into it.

What really is much worse in ME2 is skill points (I have 17th level and I already upgraded everything i use normally) , extremely easy hacking minigames suck especially when the difficulty of them doesn't increase at all and you don't even have any skill influence on it so it removes a lot in terms of skill development and team building.  Then there are pointless upgrades which don't add anything to the depth of game other than forcing you to waste some time scanning planets (the whole concept of stealth super advanced military born frigate scanning planets to harvest some minerals is rediculus)  oh and last thing weapon choice is pathetic after 17 hours i have 2 pistols and 2 smgs which don't even give me serious choice because second one is so much better than first one.
