Mass Effect The Topic *Spoilers* (Now on PS3!)

Axel · **Posted:** Fri May 29, 2009 6:11 pm

I figured we would need an All in one topic for Mass Effect, Hopefully one will be stickied soon. The 360 forum is the only one without a sticky game! So I will get it started by talking about one of the most shocking parts of mass effect.

Spoiler

What points in the game really stood apart from the rest for you? Also What do you hope for in Mass Effect 2?

Carth? I believe you mean Kaiden, unless they crossed over KotoR with Mass Effect when I wasn't looking...

Anyways

Spoiler

Also, we're getting a Salarian Scientist as a possible party member in ME 2, and he has been described by the dev's as "The Clint Eastwood of scientists." I'm looking forward to it a lot.

I was just making the comparison that Carth basically equals Kaiden.

Ah, I thought it was just a typo.

I also think this is a pretty good idea, it would be nice to have 1 main topic about everything Mass Effect related instead of a new one about everything.

There's one thing that bothered me on the game now, after using the item the consort gave you.

They pretty much tell you why :nyor:

They let primitve life build up using their tech. Then when they have reached a certain level the Reapers come and omnomnom the galaxy of advanced life. Leaving the primitive races to build up their species using the Reapers tech and rinse, lather, and repeat.

Mass Effect is easily one of my favorite games ever
Here's a couple of my reasons.

Spoiler

But yeah it's an amazing game and pumped for the sequel. :-D

Mass Effect is a great game

Spoiler

I think I'm gonna pick it up again someday just to do all the side missions I missed.

A little bit into the game, I realized that Kaiden's voice was sounded familiar. After a trip to Wikipedia I find that he is voiced by Raphael Sbarge who also voice Carth Onasi. This fact alone kept me from killing off Kaiden instead of Ashley. That, and my Shepard was a Soldier, so I had no need for her.

I was able to complete my first playthrough a bit ago. I picked the Adept class and I was thinking of playing as an evil women Sheppard. I was also thinking of doing it on Veteran difficulty but I though Normal was a bit easy so would Veteran give me a nice challenge?

Fuck that, Ashley is great I never used Kaiden he sucked. I really went for firepower and armor over all the other special abilities.

Has anyone played a female character all the way through, if so question...

Choice of Liara or Kaiden if you're a chick from what I've heard.

Frankly I was glad to get rid of Ashley. My main team was Liara and Tali. Their special abilities are really useful. I finished the game as an Engineer using only a pistol. Fire power isn't needed if you have a good team.

Unless your main focus is firepower, then you have a bad ass team.

I have. Adept class. With Shepard/Kaiden romance sub plot. You can do it with the Asari chick too. Because her race has no gender apparently, and can multiply with any gender of any race through some mind thing. "Embrace Eternity"

I didn't really like playing a Female to be honest. I think it was her voice that threw me off.

I beat Mass Effect like, two weeks ago. I don't know why I didn't play it sooner! It was so awesome.

My only complaint I have is the Mako. It handled like crap. Probably to compensate from its ability to climb an 80 degree slope.

Then you'll be happy to know that we don't even have the MAKO in this one. We have something, but it's different than the MAKO, and they've tuned the controls.

Don't forget to pick up both DLC for Mass Effect this week. As it's the deal of the week although I heard that Pinnacle Station was not worth it. Both DLC is set at 240 a piece reduced from 400. To those that bought Pinnacle Station is it worth it?
