Mass Effect

[Vyk]

I quit playing after a bogus decision was forced on me. I know its supposed to make you make tough decisions and make you face the consequinces. But there's not really any options at this one point and I didn't like the outcome, which wouldn't have happened had I actually been able to make the decision (I know it sounds like I'm bitching about the storyline, and if it were just storyline it'd be fine. But they mask this one thing in the form of a decision when its not and it completely ruins the effect). I don't hate the game because of this by any degree. But I sort of fell out with it after that. Its been a few months. I've been thinking of picking it back up

EDIT (even though this topic is probably dead already): Just put the game back in and beat it in like 5 hours. Apparently I had forgotten. I put the game away because of what I mentioned earlier but it was only for a short time. I forgot I went ahead and tried to beat the game and got stuck on an interesting boss battle very near the final confrontation. I quit playing to re-energize. Usually when I take a break on a hard part like that I figure it out immediately upon return. Which is exactly what happened. Only it was my nephew facing the boss and not me. I helped him get by it and just sort of forgot about the game since I knew how to whip it, I was in no hurry to get it over with. But now I have, and then went on to beat the whole game. So yeah. Pretty awesome game except for that one forced decision :]

There's an option to play through the game again using your same team, and you get achievements for the second play through and playing on harder difficulties. But I can't think of any reason to play through again. Other than to see the outcome of choices I wouldn't even make
