- All squadmembers as well as Shepard have a passive upgrade stat. These are good investments, and should be maxed sooner rather than later. Shepards passive stat, besides increasing various combat stats, also both increases current Paragon/Renegade score, as well as the rate of Paragon/Renegade gain. If you want to max either side of the morality, consider maxing his/her passive stat first. | - All squadmembers as well as Shepard have a passive upgrade stat.

- The controls (if you're on the PC, at least) and mechanics have changed a bit from Mass Effect 1; this may require some adjusting, so be prepared to persevere for a bit if the start is a little rough. | |||
- Do not pass up the opportunity to get an extra squadmate. If you must, you can always get him/her/it killed at the end. | |||
- Even if you're playing a power-reliant class (Adept in particular), do not think you should not be using your guns! They are invaluable at both softening up or finishing targets, especially on the higher difficulty levels, where all enemies after the introduction have at least one extra layer of defence. | |||
- For your first playthrough at least, you may want to maximise either your Paragon or your Renegade score so you won't be unable to make the difficult checks that you don't know about yet. | |||
- Interrupts are great, but sometimes it's worth skipping them to resolve the situation in a different way (cf. the reporter lady in particular). | |||
- It's fine to skip the content DLC - most of which is great - for your first playthrough at least. Get Kasumi and Zaeed anyway, though. Also, it's probably best not to start off the bat with the Firepower pack because it's kind of overpowered. Lots of fun for subsequent playthroughs, however! | |||
- When you finish the game, but you haven't done all the non-essential missions or DLC yet, don't exit to the main menu! If you choose to continue playing, you'll be able to complete at your leisure everything you haven't done yet; may be useful for an ME3 import. This is also especially important for the Arrival DLC, which only makes (some) sense after you have completed your main objective. | |||
