 The Witcher surprised me big time when I first played it.  Very cool and innovative RPG released during a real famine for the genre.  Though I must admit, I couldn't finish it due to constant CTDs - like every 10 minutes.  I'll definitely get around to finishing the first game at some point so I have a save to import.

The Morinth choice aside, not much use in doing any of those things.  They will just lead to less content.  Speaking of Morinth, I hope they don't do the cop out that she leaves the group before the start of ME3 or something.

There are some pretty cool vids on youtube of vanguards doing really well on insanity.  I think there is a steep learning curve for any class on insanity.  Vanguard may well have the steepest however.

DAO has a memory leak, or similar issue, that causes load times to steadily increase the longer the game is running.  Restart the game every hour or so.  Some people with low memory may encounter crashes or fatal errors eventually - otherwise you will visibly see the animation during the load screen eventually slow to a crawl.
 
The problem does not affect gameplay at all, only loading screens.

 Yeah, second playthru (Long Service) with a Rich, level 50/60, me1 import, gives you something like 330k, and more Eezo than you need.  Very nice.  And, double terminal glitch is easy to do.  I can't be 100% without checking, but I'm pretty sure I bought every upgrade in the game on my 2nd and 3rd playthrus without having to do any varren betting. Skip the hacking and bypass upgrades since they're entirely unnecessary.  Of course, make sure you get the discounts at every store before buying too.  Surgeon General Warning: Mining for enough Platinum for all upgrades may cause suicidal thoughts or tendencies.

@McNulty: The more missions you do the harder the charm/intimidate checks become.
 
Both Samara and Morinth are big cliches. But, I kind of like the idea of having a dark and dangerous secret on the ship.

I think to answer the TC: If Starcraft 2 at least implied you had a persona and that this persona was making these choices.. Yeah, it might be kind of an RPG.

Tali and Shep aren't the first quarian-human interspecies couple.. The quarian in the bar on Ilium talk about dating a human. So it seems relatively common. Of course, if we're speculating that only Shepard is potent enough to get a quarian pregnant.....

Shiala and Gianna aren't wearing what they wore in ME1. Gianna's clothes stood out as noticably low-res during my playthru as well. However, it doesn't really bother me.

No dossier, just continue the game.
