Mr. Carnelian got me into this series and I never looked back. It easily ranks as one of my top video game series. I just loved the story, the characters, the setting, and the game-play (though I did play on casual...). Some of my best gaming moments come from playing the series.

And to be honest, I really didn't mind ME3's ending much. I don't think I understand the criticism. It was vague, I guess. But I got the Synthesis ending and EDI's explanation of how the events affected her felt so deserved. Maybe it is just me. ME3 wasn't the best in the series though. I pined for more meaningful side-quests. Granted, the story didn't really allow for casual and fun joyrides through the galaxy but I did miss them. If nothing else, ME3 gave us the 'Citadel' DLC which is one of the most humorously in-jokey, engaging and strangely bittersweet experiences in the series, particularly if you play it right before the point of no return. What ME3 did great was ratchet up that sense of finality. Playing through the main missions, I really felt like I was getting towards the end.

And talking about EDI; easily my favorite companion in arguably the series. Her interactions with Joker in particular (and getting them together!) was one of the more enjoyable moments of ME3. I also loved Tali's development throughout the series.

Alright, question: Paragon or Renegade? I went with full paragon the entire way through.
