Okay so I finished this a couple of days ago fgj and I basically concord with the mainstream opinion that it's bloody brilliant. The writing is great, the characters are brilliant, the gameplay is amazing, and just yeah all around win. Though my QTE reactions kind of dicked me because my renegade Shep kept doing paragon things when I saw the paragon icon pop up without a corresponding renegade one. Just force of habit from Resident Evil 4 and 5; monkey see, monkey press!

That said my earlier complaints stand, and I append to the inventory issue - I liked that my inventory made me unique. Everyone (Players I mean) has the same upgrades and each gun is appreciably better than the last. Compared to the first ME where I might set up some mental sniper with maximum damage + mods and ammo, whilst someone else might be a lot more interested in specializing one each weapon to deal with a different type of enemy, this one just feels significantly inferior in that respect. I like that the interface is a lot cleaner, but I do miss it.

Can't wait for ME3 though, to see just how much of everything ties in together, how much your choices in 1 and 2 change things, and to continue to adore Garrus and Wrex with all my body and soul.
