@Abyssfull: Yeah, I definitely miss the leveling aspect of ME1. I like any game that gives an incentive to defeat the enemies other than removing obstacles whether that be tried-n-true red orbs, experience, money, etc. ME2, I think, just gave a flat XP rate regardless of how / what you defeated.
As far as planet-scanning is concerned, that's a whole blog post in and of itself.
I understand that the Mako of ME1 was rough to handle and I have threatened to throw my controller numerous times trying to cross the terrain of some planets, but I also remember a few times I'd drive my Mako towards a towering mountain in anticipation of finding some way to scale it. To completely remove that and replace it with a singleplayer of Battleship might have been a little bit... drastic.
@Scullinator: I've read it is 4 times on Xbox360achievements.org. I can definitely see how it will take 3 playthroughs as you can only get the Teammate Completion achievements two times per game. Right now I'm on my second playthrough with my male Shepherd and levels 50-60 are moving very slowly.
If you want to know what happens during "Return to Ostogar," just watch the Quick Look the guys made of it. 30-35 minutes tops, and I think it easily over half of the DLC.
I still hear her calling me that in my head when I sleep at night, stirred awake by the rantings of a game I'll never play... if only Kratos was there to save me.
