Mass Effect 2 Trivia

1. "Mass Effect 2" started on Shepard's ship from the first game, the Normandy SR1. During the opening cinematic, the ship came under attack. While most of the crew made it to the life pods, whom did Shepard go to save personally?

From Quiz Key Moments in "Mass Effect 2"

Answer: Joker

Joker had a strong emotional attachment to the ship, and was convinced he could still save it, even as it was falling apart. While everyone else got into the life pods and launched to safety, Joker stubbornly stayed in the cockpit. Shepard went to force the pilot to acknowledge the reality of the situation, and get him into a pod. Unfortunately, after securing Joker, Shepard was hurled away from the life pod.

From Quiz "Mass Effect 2" 9 for 10 [2]

Answer: Bailey

C-Sec was what everyone called Citadel Security. They were the police for the entire station. In "Mass Effect", there were very few humans in the organization, but after the battle with Sovereign, there were suddenly a lot of open positions. Humans were able to fill some of the more senior positions, and became much more visible in the organization. Bailey was a sergeant who was working in the Zakara Ward, where the Normandy docked. He gave Shepard information important for both Garrus' and Thane's Loyalty Missions. Praetor Gavorn was a turian on Omega, responsible for keeping the vorcha in check. Anaya was a police officer on Illium, and encountered during Sarama's Recruitment Mission. Sergeant Kylon was a guard found in Bioware's other major series, "Dragon Age".

From Quiz The "Arrival"

Answer: Steven Hackett

Steven Hackett was an admiral in the Alliance Navy. He contacted Shepard frequently in the first game, "Mass Effect", to give Shepard side missions. He was absent in "Mass Effect 2" until the "Arrival" DLC. "Arrival" was also the first time players saw Hackett's face. Dr. Kenson was an Alliance scientist, and personal friend of Hackett's. When she was captured, Hackett could not use his Alliance resources to help her. He contacted Shepard, who was then not employed by the Alliance, and asked the Commander to resolve this delicate situation.

From Quiz Project "Overlord"

Answer: Cerberus

Both the Human Alliance and the Citadel Council were known for performing ethically questionable experiments, but only Cerberus was truly evil. Cerberus was ready to torture and manipulate anyone, including its own operatives, to get the upper hand. They wanted to find a way to control the geth in the upcoming war, and accidentally created a rogue artificial intelligence that betrayed them. Shepard was asked to go to Project Overlord and shut down the AI.

From Quiz "Kasumi - Stolen Memory"

Answer: The Citadel

Kasumi, like the other DLC squad member Zaeed, did not have a recruitment mission. She sent an email to Shepard to meet her on the Citadel. When Shepard arrived, a hacked advertisement started talking to the Commander. Kasumi negotiated her recruitment through the advertisement. Kasumi was willing to join Shepard, but only if Shepard helped her in a heist she was planning. The Illusive Man had forgotten to mention that part of the deal.

From Quiz "Mass Effect 2" Quotes

Answer: Miranda Lawson

This line was said by Miranda in the opening cinematic of "Mass Effect 2", before we even saw Shepard. In the ellipses, she mentioned whether Shepard decided to save the Citadel Council, or leave them to die, and the repercussions of that decision. Miranda was voiced by Australian actress Yvonne Strahovski. Strahovski's likeness was also used for Miranda's character model, though Miranda's hair was black instead of blonde.

From Quiz "Zaeed - The Price of Revenge"

Answer: Omega

Zaeed could be seen the instant Shepard stepped off the Normandy onto Omega. Zaeed explained to Shepard that he was joining the Normandy in exchange for some help settling a grudge; something the Illusive Man had forgotten to mention to Shepard.

From Quiz "Mass Effect 2" Basics

Answer: Professor

The professor is Dr Mordin Solus, you can find him on Omega in the slums where he is trying to cure a plague. Legion is a geth you gain on the Reaper IFF mission. The Warlord is Okeer. The Convict is Jack.

From Quiz Where In The Milky Way Were We? (Harder)

Answer: The Purgatory

Jack was a prisoner on the prison ship Purgatory. She was an extremely violent biotic with what appeared to be no morals. Because she was so powerful, the prison didn't even keep her conscious; she was kept in cryo stasis. While the Purgatory was well funded by the homeplanets of their inmates, they also sold prisoners for cash. The Illusive Man purchased Jack with Cerberus' massive wealth, so she could be included in Shepard's squad to fight the Collectors. When Shepard went to the Purgatory to pick up Jack, warden Kuril instead tried to imprison Shepard. The warden explained that Shepard was worth much more as a prisoner than a customer. Shepard and crew fought their way through the Blue Suns security, and released Jack on their own. When Jack woke up she was furious. She used her powerful biotics to run through the ship to get away, causing massive amounts of damage. There were many sections of the ship that were vented into space, and fires started up everywhere. On top of that, a breakout and prison riot started. Shepard chased Jack through the hordes of angry prisoners and security. After killing the Warden, Shepard was able to recruit Jack. Incorrect Answers: Omega was a hub location, where you could recruit squad members, gain loyalty, shop, and talk to interesting folks. The assignment N7: Captured Mining Facility takes place on Helyme. The Eclipse mercenaries attacked the mining facility for its resources, and Shepard went in to remove them. The MSV Strontium Mule was a freighter featured in the assignment of the same name. It was captured by the Blue Suns, and Shepard had to clear it of enemies and secure the cargo. The crew had already been killed/executed before Shepard arrived.

From Quiz "Mass Effect 2" - Where In The Milky Way Were We?

Answer: Omega

To recruit Mordin Solus, Shepard went to Omega where the professor ran a clinic. Mordin's clinic was in what became a quarantine zone because of a plague. Mordin had determined that the plague had been engineered, and had made an antidote. He couldn't get the antidote into the environmental systems, though, because he had too many patients to deal with, and the Blood Pack had taken control of the surrounding area. He agreed to help Shepard in exchange for getting the cure to the environmental controls. A Blood Pack vorcha revealed that the Collectors were the ones who had made the plague in the first place.

From Quiz "Mass Effect 2" - Enemy Factions

Answer: Blue Suns

Jedore, the leader of the Blue Suns on Korlus, wanted an army of obedient krogan. Okeer, a krogan scientist, was working to negate the genophage. Okeer used funds supplied by the Blue Suns and in return gave them his defects. The imperfect krogan (by Okeer's standards) were not obedient, however, so the local Blue Suns used them for live ammo training. After fighting through Blue Suns and crazed krogan, Shepard eventually met Okeer himself. Okeer finally had what he called a perfect specimen, and wished to leave Jedore's employ. Jedore found out, and gassed Okeer's lab. Shepard went to kill Jedore while Okeer stayed to ensure that his perfect lived. Okeer died, but Shepard was still able to bring back the tank-bred krogan. If activated, the krogan would give himself the name Grunt, and would join Shepard's crew.

From Quiz "Mass Effect 2"

Answer: Cerberus

Cerberus spent four billion credits to bring Shepard back. Alliance is Cerberus' enemy, Urdnot is a krogan clan, and Subject Zero was Jack's name in her jail.

From Quiz Qrayx's Second "Mass Effect 2" Quiz

Answer: Illusive Man

The Illusive Man (played by Martin Sheen) is the head of Cerberus, a group that pushes for a stronger human voice in galactic politics. Cerberus has vast amounts of resources behind it, has research cells, and a military force. In "Mass Effect" Cerberus performed unethical experiments on unsuspecting settlements, including the study of Husks, Thorian Creepers, and rachni. In "Mass Effect 2", the Illusive Man funds the Lazarus Project, which takes over two years and over 4 billion credits to complete. The Lazarus Project is what brought Commander Shepard back to life after the Normandy SR1 was destroyed. After Shepard is revived, the Illusive Man becomes Shepard's "employer". The Illusive Man also had Cerberus build the Normandy SR2 for Shepard. Throughout the game, the Illusive Man provides Shepard with information on possible squad members and updates on the Collectors, though not always directly. He also withholds certain information in order to manipulate events.

From Quiz Qrayx's First "Mass Effect 2" Quiz

Answer: Her Sister

Miranda has a genetically identical twin named Oriana, though Oriana is much younger than her sister (only 19 while Miranda is 35). Miranda had no mother. She was created entirely from her father's genome, and designed to be the perfect woman. Miranda grew to resent her father and decided to run away, but her father had all ready started to create Oriana. Miranda refused to let another child grow up around her father, so she took her sister with her when she ran to Cerberus. Cerberus placed Oriana with a foster family on Illium. During "Mass Effect 2" Miranda approaches Shepard and explains that her father has located Oriana and is planning to take her. Miranda's Loyalty Mission has you ensure that Oriana is safely relocated along with the rest of her family before her biological father can take her away. Your enemies in this mission are the Blue Suns mercenaries. At the end of the mission, you have the option to recommend that Miranda talk to her sister.

From Quiz Key Moments in "Mass Effect 2"

Answer: Miranda Lawson

Miranda was a Cerberus officer, and one of the poster characters for "Mass Effect 2" (Shepard and Thane being the other two). After reviving Shepard, she became the second-in-command on the new Normandy, and Cerberus' eyes and ears on the ship. She was also a valuable squad member on missions with her biotic and tech abilities, and her passive bonus to all team members.

From Quiz "Mass Effect 2" 9 for 10 [3]

Answer: Asari

The asari were a single-gendered species, and the oldest / most advanced culture in Citadel space. They were inspired by the "green space babe" from "Star Trek", with the designers wanting an entire species of blue alien women. Following this theme, they were able to reproduce with any other species, though the offspring would always be an asari. The quarians and the volus both wore environmental suits everywhere, being unable to survive in normal Citadel atmospheres. The elcor were the large species known for their monotonous speech patterns.

From Quiz The "Arrival"

Answer: The Batarian Hegemony

The batarians were a race of four-eyed aliens that had some rather brutal ideas about how society ought to be structured. They still used slavery extensively, and they shared borders with humans. The two species started to expand into the same planets, but the Council sided with humanity's claims. Outraged, the batarians left the Citadel, and became an insular society. They did not like most other species, but felt special resentment towards humans. When they found a secret human project in one of their star systems, they were not happy. They captured the leader of the project, Dr. Kenson, and were interrogating her to figure out what the humans were up to.

From Quiz The "Lair of the Shadow Broker"

Answer: Spectres

The Spectres were an elite group that answered directly to the council. Very few Spectres, apart from Shepard, were seen in the "Mass Effect" series. Spectres were often from the Council races: asari, salarian, or turian. Shapard's squadmate Samara was a Justicar. The Justicars were an asari group that served a strict code, rather than a person or organization. The Illium Police were also at the apartment, but told to go away. The Templars were a group from Bioware's other intellectual property, "Dragon Age".

From Quiz "Mass Effect 2" 9 for 10 [1]

Answer: Revenant

Shepard could receive weapon training in assault rifles, sniper rifles, or shotguns. If Shepard already had training in one of those areas, a strong weapon in that class became available. If Shepard already had assault rifle training (Soldier class only), then Shepard could pick up the deadly M-76 Revenant assault rifle. The Revenant had a large magazine and fire rate, but low accuracy. With accuracy modifications, and Shepard's powers, it could be used to great effect. The M-98 Widow was the sniper rifle in the Collector cruiser (available to Soldiers and Infiltrators). The M-300 Claymore was the shotgun in the Collector cruiser (available to Soldiers and Vanguards). The M-22 Eviscerator was a shotgun made available in the "Cerberus Weapon and Armor" downloadable content pack.

From Quiz Project "Overlord"

Answer: Retract the transmission dish

The rogue artificial intelligence had already killed almost everyone working at Project Overlord, but it was still physically confined to the project site. It tried to transmit itself (being software) into the extranet through the project's giant transmission dish. Shepard tried to retract it, but the AI overrode the instructions. Shepard was left with no choice but to physically destroy the dish.

From Quiz "Kasumi - Stolen Memory"

Answer: "Silence is golden"

Kasumi said she was the best thief, not the best known, and that there was a reason for that. With so many law enforcement agencies looking for her, Kasumi had to be sure that Shepard and her deal with Cerberus were legitimate. "You fumble in the dark," was said by Sovereign in "Mass Effect". In "Mass Effect", on Noveria, if Shepard did not have the code to start the neutron purge, the Commander could try to guess it by saying, "Sic semper tyrannus." Thane was a drell; a species known for having perfect memories. He once said to Shepard, "Perfect memory. It is sometimes a burden."

From Quiz "Mass Effect 2" Quotes

Answer: The Illusive Man

This line was said by the Illusive Man during his first conversation with Shepard. He was trying to convince Shepard to work with Cerberus to protect human colonies. This line was also featured in the launch trailer for "Mass Effect 2". "Mass Effect 2" had a few big celebrities voicing its cast. The most notable was probably Martin Sheen, who lent his voice and likeness to Shepard's employer, the Illusive Man.

From Quiz "Zaeed - The Price of Revenge"

Answer: Capturing a batarian

When Shepard first approached, Zaeed was apprehending a batarian for a bounty, beating him for talking out of turn. Zaeed even shot the batarian in the leg when he tried running away. Zaeed met Shepard on the Normandy once he was done turning in his prisoner.

From Quiz "Mass Effect 2" Basics

Answer: Thanix Magnetic Cannon

A Reaper is the alien you try to prevent coming. The cyclonic barrier is an upgrade you gain from Tali. Extended fuel cells are what you gain from Samara.The weapon upgrade gives you considerably more fire power and helps you take down a collector ship later in the game.

From Quiz Where In The Milky Way Were We? (Harder)

Answer: Korlus

Korlus was a ship graveyard where the Blue Suns had set up a base. Jedore, the local leader, hired the krogan warlord Okeer to create her an army of loyal krogan, much like Saren tried to do in "Mass Effect". Provided she was allowed to live in "Mass Effect", Rana Thanoptis from Saren's Virmire base could be found on Korlus. Okeer used the Blue Suns' funds and facilities for his own purposes, though: to bypass the genophage. Rather than attempting to reverse the genophage, he wanted to create a way to ignore it. Okeer grew many krogan in tanks for his experiments, and would give the failed test subjects to Jedore. The krogan were never loyal to her, though, so she had her Blue Suns train against them in live-fire exercises. Eventually Okeer had what he called, "A perfect krogan". Shepard showed up just in time to extract Okeer, but the warlord would not leave without his prize. Jedore also found out about Okeer's treachery, and flooded his lab with toxins. Okeer stayed to secure his final experiment while Shepard and crew went to deal with Jedore. When they returned, they found Okeer dead. Shepard took the tank with Okeer's final krogan back to the Normandy. If awakened, he would assume the name Grunt, and join the crew of the Normandy. Incorrect Answers: Tuchanka was the krogan homeworld, where you could gain the loyalty of both Mordin and Grunt. You could also visit its shops, and talk to Wrex, provided he survived the events of "Mass Effect". Tarith was home of the assignment N7: Blood Pack Communications Relay. A mining operation had been set up on the planet, with a large communications network. Shepard went in and destroyed the relay network, disrupting the Blood Pack's operation. The assignment N7: Blood Pack Base took place on Zada Ban. When scanning the planet, a Blood Pack presence was discovered, with signals indicating that the base might be a weapons manufacturing site.

From Quiz "Mass Effect 2" - Where In The Milky Way Were We?

Answer: Illium

Nassana Dantius was a vicious business woman who often eliminated her rivals and anyone who might ruin her reputation. She would hire mercenaries and assassins to kill them, and bought impressive security. In "Mass Effect" Nassana tried to recruit Shepard to take out her own sister. Her sister was a slaver, and Nassana did not want her reputation to be ruined if someone found out about the connection. In "Mass Effect 2" she was so paranoid that she had her security mechs start killing construction workers in her own office tower. Thane was a drell assassin who had given up on life. He had decided to make the universe a better place by taking out Nassana Dantius on Illium. He had been fully expecting to die on the mission. After the mission he was alive, but still ready to die, and so he accepted Shepard's request to help defeat the Collectors in what would probably be a suicide mission.

From Quiz "Mass Effect 2" - Synthetics

Answer: Geth Hunters

Geth Hunters were a medium geth unit. Taller and tougher than normal Geth Troopers, but weaker than Geth Primes and Geth Juggernauts. Geth Hunters used Tactical Cloak to turn almost invisible. They did not take cover, but instead walked straight for you. If they got behind your cover, or if they were standing directly on the other side of your cover, then their shotguns would tear you apart. Geth Hunters would lose their cloak for a short time if damaged enough, and would sometimes rush the squad. Geth Ghosts, Geth Snipers, and Geth Stalkers were all enemies from "Mass Effect" that never made it into "Mass Effect 2". None of them could turn invisible.

From Quiz "Mass Effect 2" - Enemy Factions

Answer: Geth

Tali was on a data-gathering mission on Haestrom with a marine escort. A geth patrol ship saw the quarians and deployed troops. The geth quickly overwhelmed the marines, and most were killed. Tali barricaded herself in the observatory while the remaining marines held off the geth. Kal'Reegar was the only marine left alive when Shepard reached the observatory. Shepard's choices determined whether or not Kal'Reegar lived or died. Once all the geth were defeated, Tali met up with Shepard and joined the crew of the Normandy once again.

Answer: Expel 10

Elcor Forta is an artist. Hallex is a drug. Afterlife is the club on Omega, where you find Morinth.

From Quiz Key Moments in "Mass Effect 2"

Answer: The mechs

The security mechs on the station started behaving erratically, and killed most of the staff on Lazarus station. The only non-mech security was Jacob; the scientists did not stand a chance. There was a series of side quests to investigate the faulty mechs and shut down the factory, but it was not tied to main plot of the game.
