Unofficial Mass Effect Thread, Someone had to do it Options

[Zarrexaij]

I'm sure many of you have heard of Mass Effect, a hybrid action RPG by Bioware. It obviously also has many science fiction aspects, taking place in the future and space. You take on the role as Commander Shepard, and can costumize your character's appearance, gender, and class. On your missions you can have two people with you, and your squad eventually grows to be about six people max. It has recieved an overhwelmingly large amount of positive reviews, many close to near-perfect. In my opinion, it has one of the best storylines of any game to date, and an original one to boot. I'll be damned if it doesn't end up with oodles of awards.

I rented this and I'm hoping to get it for Christmas. It's one of my favorite games, below Half-life and Half-life 2 (and the various episodes). Its dialogue is amazing, and it's a damned pretty game.

If we're going to discuss Mass Effect, I'll ask anyone to post in this thread to follow a rule or two:

1. If you're going to post a spoiler, please mark it well.
2. This thread isn't here to discuss the infamous sex scenes inappropriately (you know "LULZ THAT SECKS SCENE WUZ AWSUM!") I know you're all most mature than that, but from what I've seen in other forums this needs to be posted.

That's pretty much it for now. If I think of new rules or this thread requires more, I'll add some.

So is that the first three games, or does it include the other ones as well?

Yes, Shepard trilogy only. They made the original Mass Effect play a little more similarly to the second and third one, and made graphical and other tweaks to all of the games. I saw that Steam also has it for $6, so at this price, I feel it’s a must buy.
