No, I'm still on the first level, disarming the bombs now. I only played it a little before I went to bed. I'm going to play some more though. Hope I can understand things more, it seems a bit too much at the moment. Adding things to your guns, armor, way more skills to upgrade. Then trying to use the correct buttons without getting killed.

If you PM me your email address I will send you something.

First things first:
Set it on casual. The combat system is too clunky to deal with on a higher difficulty.
remap your keys to your liking. Here is what I did:
I remapped the arrow keys to forward, backward, etc.

I used "Enter" to perform my action (ala talk, open door, etc.)
I used "Right Shift" for running
"Right Ctrl" to crouch
I use "Page Down" to holster/arm my weapon and to exit the Mako
I use "Delete" to access the Tactical HUD
I use "End" to automatically access First Aid to revive my crew
I still use the space bar to go quickly through conversations.

Thats just what I use.

If you find yourself getting too frustrated with the inventory system I really suggest you use a trainer to get your XP all the way up to level 50 and also get all your talent points to max out your skills and to get 1000 omnigel AND get a bunch of credits that you can use to buy the ultra high tech armor very early in the game so you dont HAVE to screw around with the inventory. Once you get 1000000 credits you get access to spectre level weapons and those do crazy damage!

Yes, its cheating but it will remove a LOT of the things people didn't like about ME1 and enable you to focus on playing and experiencing the game and spending less time in the inventory screen.

Cool, thanks. I'll try remapping and see if that helps any. I sent you my email as well. I don't really like "cheating" but I just want to play this for the story and the fact I'm having a hard enough time with the controls as it is, I don't waste to waste even more time, figuring out the best options for guns, armor, teammates, etc. I just want to enjoy the game and the story.

Having said that do NOT rush through the game. Take the time to get to know your crew and do all the side missions. You will notice many things that were referenced in ME2.

Here is a list of all available assignments:

IGNORE THE Galaxy Collection Assignments. They aren't worth it.

Does anyone else like Tali'Zorah as much as I do? The first time I played ME2 I got so bummed out when she didn't join me after that first mission, then ridiculous excited when I could finally recruit her. Too bad I was a female Shephard, so I couldn't romance her. I like being female characters, but I'm still a typical male in that I play them all as lesbians. Anyway, I like that Bioware integrated an Arab-like race into the game, it makes the Quarians interesting.

Why do you think Quarians are like Arabs? I'm not criticizing your comparison, but I'm interested. I can guess why, but both men and women hide faces, and only out of necessity. They are nomadic, but not by choice. Society does not seem patriarchal. They go on pilgrimages, but not to a particular location. Not being an Arab, I might be missing something, so I am curious. And I find it awkward in that I'm sure millions of actual Arabs are part of the Alliance. One could easily customize Shepard's appearance and name to look and sound like (s)he is of Arab descent.

Yes it is. I bet you are enjoying the stroll around the citadel and seeing how little they show of it in ME2.

Do as many side missions as you can before you tackle Feros or Noveria AND try and get Liara ASAP. Im not 100% sure but I think you can go through the game and not even recruit her!
