Beat it today at 23 hours. Got it on with Tali and forgot to activate the geth before the suicide mission. whoops... lol. Mordin and Jack died, not entirely sure why.

 

Great game, GOTY contender for sure.

I beat it in 29 hours... and I had Mordin die randomly, he was loyal

That just really annoyed me, it was just so unneccessary, now I am just watching other endings on youtube

Who survives isn't random. You did something wrong on the final mission. You have to have everyone loyal and you have to make the right selections during the mission. There is usually two right options for each task.

I didn't do anything wrong. Mordin was loyal, I chose specialists for all the tasks, and at the end I just chose my squad, I didn't chose anything about the people left behind. When it worked, all I did was include Mordin in my squad instead of Grunt

You have to choose specific specialists for each task or people die no matter what their loyalty rating is. These are the correct choices, if you deviant from them someone is going to die. Chose Tali or Legion to hack, Samara or Jack for the Biotic force field, Miranda or Garrus to lead the second team, and as for who leads back the survivors chose who ever I didn't pick to lead the second team.

That's the point, I chose the right people:

I chose Legion to hack and Miranda to lead the second team, then in the 2nd phase I chose Samara for the barrier, Garrus to lead the 2nd squad and Zaeed to go away. Then for the final part, I chose my squad of Thane and Grunt, as I always did and Mordin died while fighting with the rest of the squad. The 2nd time I did it, all I changed was taking Mordin with me and leaving Grunt with the squad and then nobody dies. Tell me that isn't random

I think choosing Zaaed is your problem. Never heard of anyone choosing him for that task.

Mordin randomly kicking the bucket does seem to be a problem.  There's speculation that his survival depends on the dialogue options before the final push, although I've never tested it myself.

Which dialogue path did you choose, Munkeh?

You mean before the final battle? Well, I gave a speech with the top options, and whilst it wasn't as inspirational as Captain Kirahe's "We hold the line" speech from Virmire (I would have liked to have seen him if he survived, I can't remember), I thought it was a decent speech. The 2nd time, I was kind of in a rush, so I didn't give any speech at all.... That was the only difference, I loaded my save from the point where Samara was creating the shield

Zaeed can't be the problem, he was the escort both times

Mordin died for me to, for no apparent reason :(

Gotta replay that part of the game. Can't have him dead.

Hmm well I apologize to you Munkeh111. I was wrong it seems several people are having the same problem. I don't know why I haven't had it. I guess my luck was good for once.

I bought the ME2 comic at Books-A-Million. Apparently it's actually selling, since they only had 1 copy left.
If you have a jailbroken iPod, you can also get it for free. The comic is only 3.50$ though, so buy it afterwards like I did!

To summarize: It pretty much just tells about Liara and how she keeps Shepards body from the Shadow Broker and the Collectors. Apparently, Liara actually helped Cerberus get to Shepard. I won't say anymore.. Since that's all that's in the first issue, lol.

I can't trust a man with an Illusive Man avatar. You could be lying

Awesome, I picked it up as well.

My ME1 playthroughs averaged 28 or so. I may be a bit obsessive. First ME2 was 37 but I skipped a lot of the scanning on disk 1. The year 2010 has started off with a great big bang!
