I got up against a door frame and floated through the ceiling into nothingness. I was pissed at the time but looking back, it was actually pretty amusing.

When the eyes/hair/body parts of people starting randomly and wildly clipping with the player model.

Somehow kissing Liara through my helmet.

I would aim forward but Shepard looks backwards. I can move and shoot in the direction I'm looking but when I sprint, the character sprints in the direction Shepard is looking, same with some powers like throw, it'll curve around me and hit the target still. It's fix when I go into cover and only lasts for 2 minutes if I don't. It's fun though in combat, mixes things up a little bit.

People not being where the camera is durning a conversation, made worse by the dialog starting halfway through a sentance. But the game seemed to notice this issue and the opening lines of dialog started playing, over the top of the other lines but it gets points for effort.

Only happened once but that kind of experance stays in your memory.

I play on 360 and i had Grunt get stuck in the cieling..... for an entire level. funny at first, till his stuckness deprived me of a squad mate for a long time.
I had that happen to Shepard. She hopped on some invisible elevator and just went up. Funny until I realized I would be replaying the same section.

In the first one on Eden Prime when you knock that idiot away from the artifact they forgot to put in Kaiden. So I ended up wrestling with some invisible stalker.

The only major glitches I ever experienced were once, when I had to reload a save because I got stuck in a wall, and once when Miranda froze in while taking cover and wouldn't unfreeze until I got to the next area of the mission.

Oh there are glitches alright. During my first playthrough I barely noticed them - but in my second playthrough, suddenly they're all there.

The most annoying glitches are when Shepard gets stuck in the air - usually this happens as you are approaching cover at a slightly odd angle. On Jacob's Loyalty Mission, I was walking around, when suddenly I got stuck in the air above a piece of cover near a cliff. I couldn't get down - even walking off the cliff didn't kill me (I just ended up in a void). I restarted from an auto-save point - only find that the game autosaved when I was in mid-air. Had to start the mission all over again. Once again on Omega station in the clinic - tried to talk to the clinic receptionist, got stuck on the desk of the clinic and then ended up sticking out of the roof of the clinic into the scenery. Had to restart then too.

During the final mission, just before the area with the last bossfight, one of my squad members got stuck. He had frozen in place. Pressing "C" to call him back did not work. Trying to get him to use powers did not work. Hitting him with a melee attack did not work. Had to restart then too - only to find that when going through the area again, when I took cover, Shepard magically managed to launch himself 300 feet into the air, only to suddenly die.

Also, if you skip the dialog by pressing space too much, the game can have trouble properly positioning characters. This has led to some instances in which I had squad members walking in front of me during dialog scenes.

But having said all that, the glitches did not occur often for me, and I had a blast playing ME2. The glitches do not occur that often, and although they can be annoying, just reload a save. The only real problems I have had have been getting stuck in the air, but they aren't too common.

I must have one of those few advanced master copies or something. I've yet to come across something as game-breaking as any of that.

I mean... outside of Anderson's head almost unscrewing itself and that one asari on Illium who's looking directly at you while she's walking away from you.

Once had a bug during the first scene after arriving in the warehouse during Miranda's loyalty mission.
Shepard disappeared during the renegade interrupt path of that scene, so I had been treated to a ghost shooting the explosive cargo down onto the mercs.

The one I had is where my Shepard separated from the camera during combat mode. This meant that my left analog and right analog stick would move separately. Would have moments where the camera would point at the enemy but Shepard decided that facing the left side of the screen was more appropriate. This would cause my Shepard to shoot bullets from her shoulder, was awkward.

Wow... I was just doing my Insanity playthrough, and I got irritated at my team mates using their powers at the wrong times. So I went into the gameplay options and CAREFULLY went down to squad powers. Changed it to "No", double checked the difficulty, exited the options menu and saved. Went to do Mordin's loyalty mission and nothing has any sort of protection. checked the difficulty and it was on Casual...

Ive managed to get stuck on rocks and even on top one pillar in ME". I went to take cover behind it and in the space of about 0.003 of a second Id scaled this 100 foot mostrosity and couldnt move.

I havnt had it happen bit I know that a patch was just realsed for it and one of the notes says "Fixed a big were pressing F9 during a loading screen rested sheppard to lvl 1"

Now if Id done that THAT would piss me off.

A glitch that made me laugh was during Grunt's loyalty mission. Grunt bugged and was floating in the air. Then he makes a comment about Tuchanka...

Grunt: This is the great Krogan homeworld? This is the land of Kredak, Shiagur, and Veeoll?
Grunt: This chunk of rock is barely worth standing on!

Also...
Not so much a glitch, but something overlooked, which creates an absurd conversation. You can get Thane to repeat the memory of his wife's death, which is fine if you needed to hear it again. But each time the memory ends, Shepard can say that he didn't mean to make Thane 'relive that'.

I think I only had one glitch, one time out of four playthroughs, a character's hand twisted wierdly during a dialogue while I was skipping through it. Beyond that, the game is quite bug-free and I have no idea where you guys are dragging this stuff from

This one.
I want that glitch...=(
I didn't get it until my second time through, and then I got it about 3 times in a row.

One of the times I launched a guy into a wall, and could see them standing up there, inside the wall with their arms and feet sticking out, screaming like crazy.

It's really hilarious whenever it happens.
