Playing The Last Story, making good progress, the last two bosses were a slap in the face though.

Immune to normal attacks + healing spam = ugh

EDIT:
I don't know how to lose loyalty on ME2... it's never happened before.

Miranda and Jack (Legion and Tali as well) have an argument after you do both of their loyalty missions, I believe. If you don't have enough Paragon (or Renegade, I wouldn't know), then whoever you side with in the argument will remain loyal while the one who you don't pick stops being loyal. If this happens, I think if you gain a higher P/R score, you'll be able to convince them to become loyal again. My problem is that it isn't because it is such a high requirement for it to happen.

I've failed to have a high enough Paragon/Renegade score on both of those events, but I've still never lost loyalty @.@
I wonder if there is other factors at play there.

You can talk with them after, and if you manoeuvre yourself through the conversation properly and pass a paragon/renegade check you can re-earn their lost loyalty.
You can also botch some of the loyalty missions so they're completed but you don't gain that character's loyalty.
Although the fact it's called 'loyalty' still doesn't fit very well, particularly with some characters.

The problem is that in order to re-earn Miranda's loyalty, you need a damn high Paragon or Renegade score in order to pull it off, and I still don't have it...

BUT I BEAT THE GAME ON INSANITY!!! OH MY GOD, YES!

But three people died in the process because I was rusty on the choices, so I have to try again, this time on Casual. I have to find a way to make Miranda not die, because it doesn't seem possible for me to win back her loyalty. Not this late in the game...

Congrats on that! I would do it but I like keeping my hair attached to my head.

It's not that bad, actually. I didn't have too much trouble with it (but that's because I was an Infiltrator). My biggest problem was the first fight of the Collector ship. As for the rest of the game, it was okay. A few deaths here and there, but nothing that's too hard. I'm just so pissed that I don't have Miranda's loyalty anymore and I can't really get it back. I'll have to figure something out...

What is lumines exactly? I've seen it but know nothing about it.

I realize Ian just google it, but I like learning from people =/

Take her with you to the final boss area. As far as I know, the teammates that go with you never die.

I think if they're not loyal to you, they will die in that final cutscene once the Human Reaper is dead. I've never had it happen to me, but it's worth a try, I guess.

I always take Miranda and Kasumi with me since I think they have the greatest chance of death if you leave them behind.

I don't have Kasumi or Zaeed. I don't have any of the DLCs. :/

Oh. I keep forgetting that those were DLC since I didn't have to download them. Both of them give you chances to increase your points in Paragon/Renegade.

If you don't have Kasumi... and you didn't send Mordin back with the civilians... then I guess I would take him. If you did send him, then I'm not sure on that one.

EDIT:
If you only get one DLC, I would get Arrival.
It prepares you for ME3.

I always send Mordin back to escort the civvies. He has the highest chance of dying in the mission, and his success is almost guaranteed for that bit.

Think of it like:

Tetris (w/ cube shapes only) + awesome music + trippy visuals = Lumines

It's a puzzle game where cubes come falling down the screen. The player controls where they fall and must connect similar colored blocks to make combos and ultimately make the blocks disappear.

If you love puzzle games, good (albeit heavily licensed) music (Jpop - American Pop - Electronica, etc...) and/or ever liked Tetris, then you should check this game (or series in general) out.

Actually, it's not just Mordin, it's Tali, Kasumi and Jack that are most at risk after him, in that order. They also all only have a single defensive point at maximum, so are quite simply awful at holding the line.

Also, Lair of the Shadow Broker is apparently a good DLC to get, although I'm guessing you bought a used copy if you haven't got Zaeed?
