Mass Effect

[Zulfy]

So after a year of playing off and on I've finally finished my playthrough of mass effect.

I'm sure some of you have also played the games and was wondering your opinion of them.
Spoiler alert.

So see me, I made my Shepard from scratch, tried making him look like me but he didn't really but he looked alright.

Anyway, I started as a Ruthless Earthborn Sentinel, and whenever I had to make a decision I tried to make it as quickly as possible, since I think that makes the game more exciting. I only loaded a save once when I forgot to upgrade my speech and Wrex ended up getting shot, other than that though I lived with all the decisions I made, didn't look anything up or anything. Saved and romanced Ashley (thought I was saving Kaidan but right at the end it's like 'Decide again!' so I chose her) and let the council die. I tried to be a paragon, and mostly was save for every once in a while when you had to deal with a bunch of bullshit that my Shepard had no time for, like the plant thing corporation people. I hear people don't like ME1's gameplay but I thought it was great, oh well.

ME2 was a great improvement though, played as an Adept because it seemed like a blast and I was right, making people float and explode all the time. I thought the side missions were kinda weird because it's like, you're on this high-priority mission but have time to find this guy's dad? Anyway yea I was hoping some people would die and it would be all tragic and stuff but I couldn't help but be a goody goody paragon and everyone survived the suicide mission. Sometimes I wish being a good person had some terrible consequences, like I sort of hoped once I opened Grunt's tank he'd go on a rampage and kill someone or something, but no he ends up being your very best buddy. Didn't romance anyone cuz fuck all that emotional baggage, and Tali could literally die from that, so at the end Shepard stared at this random picture of Ashley and I thought that was kinda neat.

I played ME3 on insanity, which made finishing that much more rewarding. I was done with Ashley's paranoid ass and was planning on staying celebate forever after but I sorta gravitated towards Liara, the whole Liara-Shepard relationship from ME1 to ME3 was great, in my playthrough it was the best storyline anyway, since she likes you at first but you choose Ashley over here and then when Ashley thinks you're all brainwashed she's the one that's there for you when you need to kill a fat crab.

Thankfully I had heard ahead of time of the terrible ending and the extended edition DLC thing, so I downloaded that right quick and I thought it was okay. Chose control ending cuz Synthesis seemed sort of like what the Reapers were already doing and I didn't want to destroy the geth, plus as the catalyst said AIs would be built up again anyway.

And yea everyone lived happily ever after, maybe I should have let the rachni queen die but I wasn't about to genocide nobody, and I think not saving the council is supposed to be the renegade option but I wasn't about to throw away a fleet because of some politicians' incompetence.

What about you tho?

I bought DLCs for the first time ever by the way: Kasumi, Arrival for ME2, and Citadel for ME3, shouldn't have bought Kasumi tho because she's not even a character.

I really dont like MMOs

Anyway, the original endings were the same scene but with a different color, how can anyone appreciate that?

And what choices did you pick?

[Zulfy]

Yea I dont think I'll replay It at all, I like the way the story played out for me and playing again feels like messing with that.

Just got da inquisition, last time I played DA2 was yyyears ago so I still got some BioWare magic to enjoy

I am on a 3-year delay when it comes to gaming so no hype here

Was it James? I bet it was James.
