Well, considering they just announced ME3, and the first two received God-knows-how-many awards for whatever and such, I figured I'd backtrack and buy the first Mass Effect for PC. Honestly, I'm starting to like it more than I thought.
I played the game before but didn't get very far in it, so maybe I just had to give it some time? Also, anyone out there who played both of the first two? Did BioWare make it the same as Dragon Age, where you could import your character from the previous games?

Mass Effect >>>>>> Dragon age.
Honestly, DA2 shouldn't have been called DA2. It should have been like, Dragon age: Kirkwall. Or some s**t like that. It literally had hardly anything to do with the origins other than minor cameo appearances. Story was s**t in DA2. I really wish it wasn't so terrible, because the combat is great. =/
The voice choices also don't really seem to fit into Dragon age as well as they did in Mass Effect.
Anyways, ME 2 was ******** baaaadasssss. If you're having fun in Mass Effect, you're going to have a ******** blast in ME2.
Mass Effect was pretty good, but the combat was... Awkward, and your party members are retarded in combat. Otherwise, everything else about mass effect was great.
You can import with your ME char into ME2, I'd actually rather you did, instead of jumping the gun to ME2 if you felt like it. You miss a lot of story, and you pretty much get the worst options on everything from ME with the default ME2 start.
They announced ME3 a while back though, either way, I can't wait. Reading the Gameinformer preview only makes me want to play it more. They are branching out skill trees more in ME3, so abilities change based on spec, keeping the better combat, and tweaking it better, improving enemy AI (honestly, in ME2 most of the time it's boring, even on insanity. I usually only have fun against swarms or the giant robots. Can't remember what those are called.), and a new engine to boot. On top of all that, all your choices from ME1 and 2 are going to finally show up, and change the world based on what you've done. Much more so than ME -> ME2. Most of the choices you made in 1 had minor effects in 2, but they are supposed to be much larger in 3.
I ******** love Mass Effect. And Tali.

Finally finished both games now. Pretty much nerdgasm. And I'm looking forward to the third, although they delayed it until early 2012. Rrrgh! I can't wait that long...
But at least it gives me time to get into Battlefield 3 when it comes out this November.

Onos Evataph I was really, really disappointed with Mass Effect. WHAAAAAAAAAA!??!? ESPLAIN JOORSELF It felt like all the game had to offer was dialogue. I'd say out of the 15 or so hours I spent playing that game, I only spent about 1 or 2 in combat. The rest I just spent talking to people, walking around, and trying to figure out what the ******** I was supposed to do. And then before I'm even used to Ashley and whatshisface, they give me 3 other people to juggle. I didn't really like the leveling system either. I just put points into whatever seemed useful. It was mostly the sheer amount of dialogue and lore that really put me off from the game though. But maybe I was playing through it wrong.

An amusing side note: I live in Edmonton, Alberta home to Bioware's head office and I happen to have a couple friends who work for them, and are currently working on Mass Effect 3, what's more is a few of my friends in the military were hired to do some voice work for them a couple weeks ago for Mass Effect 3.
It's pretty cool to have such a huge game being made right in my backyard.

You could avoid combat with conversation, so maybe that's what ended up happening. The game was a rpg shooter, so there was actually a lot of story going around. I liked talking to people and learning more about the game, guess other people would rather just shoot stuff. Mass Effect 2 might be better for you then, it was more combat orientated, and they did away with their old skill system for a more simple one.
