I got past the part with Fist by using Wrex and Garrus. Gotta use the squad commands.
That's the shady runt from the bar right? I found that a handful of grenades thrown from the door cleaned up the bar rather nicely, followed by slamming his face into a bulkhead just before I shot him execution style.
The only time I use squad commands is when I want my teammates to stay behind me so I get to step into the action first.

I chose Vanguard as my class, so I'm kind of letting the others take fire first. I've been using the pistol more than anything else.
Stupid question: Anyone know how to melee? A lot of skills have melee bonuses but I haven't figured out how to use it in combat. Is it just a matter of not having your weapon drawn? But then they refer to having the ability to hit them with your weapon as well...?

I chose Vanguard as well, I love me some shotgun action and Vanguards have the skill maxed out at default. My current shotgun runs 213 damage with a +25 because of hammerhead ammo @ 67 accuracy I believe.

^What about the melee? Have you ever used it in combat?

Can't say I ever have. Though my guess would be clicking down on one of the thumbsticks perhaps?
Edit: Quoted from a developer on the official forums:
Quote
There's too methods you can use to trigger a melee attack:
1) Get to point blank range and pull the right trigger
2) Storm towards an enemy (hold A and push up on the movement stick) and you'll automatically melee him when you reach him.

You automatically use melee when you press 'A' to run while you have your weapon drawn. You will automatically bash whomever you come in contact with.

@Tan, were you able to find all 21 keepers on the Citadel? I'm stuck on 19.

Just finished beating the game for the first time, unbelievable experience. The last hour or so was "non-stop seat of the pants holy sweet fuck" moments.
The last two keepers were buggers, they move around a bit. If you keep checking everywhere from time to time they'll show up eventually. Oddly enough one of them was the very first one I had ever seen and didn't notice it was gone for the longest time.
Best game ending I've ever had the pleasure of. The cinematic experience was unlike anything a game has done before. Like going to a big budget sci-fi flick and when the action gets hairy they give you a controller and tell you to become the director. Hats off to BioWare, you've outdid yourselves with this one.

Congrats man. I think I'm roughly at the halfway point. I finished Feros and have rescued the doctor on Thelus (?) to add her to the team. Now I need to go back to Novaria (when I'm ready) and eventually Virmire. Tons of sidequest stuff to do before then, though.
2 things that slowed me down considerably (and probably why it's taking me so long) is that I tried going through Novaria too early on (before I had a health regen power up for my armor) and I didn't realize for hours (until I checked the instructions) that the Mako had a cannon on it. Doh!

I've been leveling up before going to Novaria or Virmire. I'm at lev 33. Just finished the "destroy the Geth colonies" quest in the Armstrong Cluster.
Also unlocked the "Rich" Achievement last night by having a balance of over 1,000,000 credits.
Bioware was very smart to add the mechanic to liquify stuff into Omni-gel. That's been very useful in the Mako missions.

Tan, since you've finished the game already, were you able to unlock any of the "ally" achievements?
I just landed on Virmire as the last planet to visit (for me) and still need to go through that, but I've had Ashley in the squad for the bulk of play and haven't gotten the achievement yet.
Any idea on the requirements?

Crap. I didn't know that Liara had a sidequest. I probably picked her up too late in the game.
Oh well. Hopefully I'll have a chance to finish my 1st playthough this weekend and maybe start the 2nd. I know I'm going to approach the 2nd playthrough much differently than the 1st...
