Achievement for reaching level 30? Is this going to be the highest level on this one? Because by exploring every little detail like I did I reached level 50 on the last one - and if this games going to be bigger it must mean its longer to level up or something? Or people will reach the max level too soon and not see the point in a second playthrough, I only played again to max my character out!
Since this thread is already dripping with spoilers I trust no warning is necessary?
Sounds like your 10 man team will comprise of:
Subject Zero Grunt ??? (Archangel) Mordin (Professor) Tali (Quarian) Samara(Justicar) Thane (Assassin) Jacob (Cerb Operative) Miranda (Cerb Officer) Legion (Friend or Foe)

Bioware said they made a mistake in letting players get up to level 60 in the first game. It will cap at 30 in this one and 60 in the final part I believe.
That's a good move imo. I got to level 50 in the first one and it became a bit too easy.
I got to about level 50 as well but just couldn't be bothered trying to grind it up to 60. Though i will probably be sticking the original back on over the festive period so i may well hit it.
Sounds good to me. I don't mind a level cap so long as it involves so much grinding that it is all but impossible to max out before 2/3 or 3/4 of the way through the game. I made it to level 52 I think it was on my first play through as a soldier in "ME1". I dabbled a bit at playing the game again immediately after, but to be frank replaying the same game back-to-back while so much of the story is still fresh in my mind holds little appeal so I stopped. Time for a new "ME" fix with this second outing!
This is my most anticipated title of 2010 so far. "Darksiders", "Alan Wake", "Dante's Inferno" and maybe "FFXIII" finish up the pack. "Dead Space 2" is definitely also in that pack if it makes it in time for a 2010 launch.
