* EnoughToGoAround: When you pick up a single firearm lying around, you suddenly have enough copies for all current and future squadmates who are proficient with a given weapon class. This is somewhat {{Justified}} by the Normandy SR-2 having an extensive tech lab and fabrication equipment that can assemble new guns as needed once you have the schematics or a sample gun to reverse engineer, though it still doesn't explain why you can use the new guns ''immediately'' other than [[AcceptableBreaksFromReality to avoid the frustration of having to wait until you get back to the ship.]]

* DarkerAndEdgier: Though without any loss of quality or maturity. Fornax is just one example. The atmosphere is considerably darker, with Shepard spending most of their time [[WretchedHiveOfScumAndVillainy in Terminus space]] with even your time on the Citadel spent on the darker levels around criminals and barely any at the brighter Presidium. Among your allies are morally ambiguous mercenaries, violence-obsessed criminals, [[CowboyCop a reckless vigilante]], [[KnightTemplar an asari knight who casually kill helpless enemies if they don't talk]] ([[spoiler:or, if you want, her homicidal vampire of a daughter]]), a ruthless assassin, [[spoiler:a ''literal'' killing machine]], and members of a terrorist organization. Even the ''gameplay'' gets in on this, being considerably more likely to rip you to pieces but also making you capable of doing the same to enemies.

* CalmBeforeTheStorm: Prior going through the Omega 4 relay to face the Collectors, Shepard will spend a night with their love interest, if they have one. If they did not, but did in the first game, they will be seen staring at a picture of their original love interest.

** After Tali's recruitment mission, there's a cutscene where Jacob welcomes Tali aboard, though despite his friendly demeanor, Tali has nothing but cold hate for him and Cerberus. Just before she leaves, he quips that she should introduce herself the the ship's AI, EDI.[[note]]Quarians, such as Tali, were forced off their home planet when AIs they created rebelled against them. By human standards this would be like suggesting your Jewish friend go strike up a conversation with a neo-nazi.[[/note]] Tali pauses at the hatch, turns, and gives Jacob a look that, even without seeing her face, clearly should have blown out the rear bulkhead and reduced him to atoms, and then silently leaves.
