@ recon, I do agree it is a little dark, but it is great fun

I have now finished 3 hours of it and apart from the ridiculous loading times, the game is great fun

Aren't loading times reduced when you install the game to the HDD? Or haven't you installed it yet?

I installed disc 2, because I thought that you spent most of the game on that disc because of what IGN said, but I think I will replace disc 2 with disc 1.

Hopefully the times will be reduced then...

You get a huge loading scene after each gameover? In ME, the biggest loading scene without install was the transitions between planet and normandy >_<

I need advice/help from someone who already has the game.

Im near the start of the game, on Omega. Possible spoilers...

I'm about to go to the quarantined area, with the plague that kills Turians.

I want to take Garrus, but afraid he will die... Anyone risked it? Does he live if you take him in?... Advice would be much appreciated.

No need to worry. The plague will not affect anyone in your party.

Even him?
