I just finished playing this extremely awesome game, (we're talking 10/10 here, and a probable GOTY title), and im damn pleased with it. It was really great.
So I thought that I would make this topic to ask you fellas if any of you have played either of the Mass Effect games?
I could spend alot of time writing a short resume of the plot, but I'll just link to wikipedia instead. :3 (Because im lazy)

Anyhow. If you own a PC(Lol if you don't own a PC)/Xbox/PS3, then you got no excuse for not playing these great games. Bioware has once more proved that they are the kings when it comes to story, setting and character development. The story and characters has been so neatly phased into the second game, and you really feel that you are playing along the old storyline, just in the new setting. (Even though there's a big jump in time between the two games.)
I can't wait for the next game in the series. Mass Effect 3! I just hope it's this year, even though I highly doubt it.
Took me 29 hours to complete, and I plan on starting from the top again tomorrow, playing as "Evil". (In the two games, you can play as either Paragon (Good), or Renegade (Evil), which unlocks dialog options and actions you can do to influence people.
They added a very nice option in this game, you could import the savegame you had from ME1, which means that you can play as the same Shepard (Your name, both as male and female), and all the important actions you did in the first game, (like who died, how you solved different situations and which important actions you took in the game), is shining through in ME2. Like how certain people treat you, if they even excist, how certain event play out and such.
ME3 will just aswell support importing a ME2 savegame, which I think is DAMN AWESOME! Especially because there was alot of choices in ME2 which feels like they will come back and bite you (or pat you on the back) in the next game.
Anyhow! Tell me what you think if you have played it, did you like it? What are your thoughts? If you haven't played it, tell me a DAMN good reason to why you haven't already?

Yeah, I thought about that after I wrote this topic, that it might not have been quiiiiite a 10. But extremely close. There is alot of mining involved. And you stray far from the main story once in a while, due to loads of sidemissions.

I fully agree! Everything felt like they belonged in the universe, the way people spoke to eachother and interacted. Hard to explain it, but everything seemed much more natural.

Well sure. Other games, but I think it's pretty geek.
