    Default Mass Effect Series [Spoilers]

    Let's talk Mass Effect.

    I was introduced to this series through 2 and then went back to play 1, took a bit adjusting to the controls and everything to 1. Then I had to adjust all over again when I went back to playing 2. I had a lot of fun! I played a spacer, war hero, soldier for my canon play-through of the trilogy. Paragon for the most part, but I focused more on answering the way I thought the character would to try to make her more three-dimensional. Cmd Tori Shepard reporting for duty

    I love the Alliance Navy uniform. Too bad most of the Alliance are unlikeable bigots that can go die in a fire. Ooh, in addition to the game let's talk about the choices we made while playing:

    I always went after Liara first after taking command of the Normandy then went after her mother and the colony.

    Left Kaidan with the bomb, figured he deserved to go out like a hero for a change.

    Romanced Liara and remained loyal to Liara despite how incredibly hard it was to resist the awesomeness of Garrus in the second one. Then the third game kept throwing lesbians at me. Stop it!

    Kept Wrex alive and remained loyal to the krogan during that mission in 3. Also kept the Collectors base in tact at the end of 2, though it didn't seem to matter all that much going into 3.

    Discuss.

    Loved ME2. Loved most of ME3. I wasn't as upset at the ending as some people but I agree it was pretty bad. I've never played ME1 since it wasn't on PS3 for a while but I'd like to go back to it someday, maybe as a female Shep.

    ME1's combat is challenging if you're used to the other two. I like 3's gameplay the most. I like 2's progression of story the most. But i like one's story the best. It's a new world, you learn everything and BAM bad guys. Before the reapers are really there and you first meet them an figure the dangers.

    Mass Effect is probably my favourite gaming series and possibly topples Final Fantasy for that top spot.

    I really only loved 2 Final Fantasy games and they were separate, but this was just a wonderful series of three games that I got incredibly engrossed in and there's still so much I need to do on these games. I'm actually going to do a play through of it all again. Maybe I'll do a Let's Play of it? Would anyone be interested in this? I'll be playing PC so I can get lots of screens. Perhaps I will do it, might be a valuable use of my time.

    Anyway, Tali is my favourite character (duh) but honestly, every single character in this game I just love. Especially Thane

    The PlayStation wasn't meant to handle that much awesomeness.

    It's worth it just to be able to port your Shepard over to 2 and 3 and have your decisions from 1 carry over. You miss out on some stuff playing with the default decisions in 2. I remember going back and finishing 2 before 3 just so I could have my decisions carry over because I hated the default set in 3.

    HNB is re-installing the game so I'll have a play on it tonight and try and get something up.

    I'm so excited.

    I only ever played the games on the Xbox so I'm curious to see what the differences on the PC are, if any.

    I played the hell out of this game for the 360, but I might be throwing it on my PC to play with some mods (probably nothing as boring as an HD upgrade since graphics have very little to do with why I play games anymore, but there's got to be some spectacular stuff out there for me to do.

    I love Mass Effect. Mass Effect 2 is my favorite story-wise, but Mass Effect 3 was the most fun for me. Vanguard is my favorite class. Can't decide which Vanguard I like better though, the one that charges into people and blows a shotgun in their face, or the one that spams nova-charge and can take on three brutes at once at close range.

    One of the most amazing experiences I've had in a game ever.

    Although having said that, the final DLC for ME2 was pretty amazing as well, that final sprint down the docks of the asteroid to get to the Normandy, with Harbinger taunting you and the Mass Relay getting closer and closer in the skybox.

    The one DLC I really want to get is Lair of the Shadow Broker. But for some stupid reason I can't seem to hook up to the internet through my Xbox -_-
