Did you read my mind? I was going to say that the only character in the first game I liked talking to was Wrex. I took him on everything, he was the only good character if you ask me.SecretNegative said:

(If you're just joining us, I've gone through Mass Effect and am now on Mass Effect 2)
30 Hours into this one and I'm finished with Mass Effect 2. I can't help but think the game is taking more than a few hints from Freespace, specifically the second one and the end of the SOC storyline. The Normandy looks suspiciously like the Lucifer Super Destroyer and Apollo Space Superiority Fighter had a baby and decided not to tell anyone about it. My original summation that the Reapers were The Shivans with a different name has been thrown a wee bit out the window, but that's yet to be completely confirmed. Well anyway, the Widdow and Adrenaline Rush made the game lots of fun and even the final boss was challenging. I enjoyed having a handgun that wasn't a complete waste of time (if the ammo count was laughable) and generally liked the shooting in this quite a lot. I do have to level that having to wait a second to throw on an ammo power when Barrier is an instant cast does break the flow somewhat. Something I found silly was when landing on Haestorm EDI talks about how the sun is overloading shields, but why in hell is nobody wearing helmets?!
But when it comes down to it, this game actually suffers HUGELY from the same problem Final Fantasy XIII has and that there are too many terms, too many people and a complete mess of trying to know what's going on at some times without a guide. For the record I managed to have everyone survive the mission without looking up help.
I ended up hating the planet scanning mechanic when I completed the game not because it was a bad idea, but it just seemed like a total time waste that left you with WAY more resources than you could possibly need. On that note, buying fuel was still an absolutely silly measure.
I'm not saying the game isn't fun and it's definetely a substantial improvement over the first one, but it still feels like it's missing something that isn't quite perfectly tickling my fancy. I dunno. I'm also purposefully trying not to shag anyone.
Also, as an experiment as I will start Mass Effect 3 next week, I already got the extended endings just to see what it's like from a fresh perspective if you will. (Please, no opinions on the subject, I'll get to it)
Cheers, I need to go wash my panties.
