People should play Mass Effect because it's system of choice and consequence is akin to the humble stream. It flows forth and expands, becoming more and more bold until it is a river. The river carries with it the fish and debris much like Mass Effect carries its characters, all moving forward, clashing and struggling in the chaotic flow. Sometimes a lone fisherman may come and pluck away a fish, much like a character in the games will be plucked from the narrative. But the river must flow, and the story must go on. And so it does, churning on until it empties out into the vast ocean, where the sum of all your choices takes its effect on the great sea that is the Mass Effect universe. And therein you will find yourself thirsting for me, searching for sustenance among the waves and...poiumty said:
Man, bullshitting is fun.
OT: Play Mass Effect if you're into Sci-Fi and narrative choice. Or play them if you just like third-person shooters and a decent story. The RPG bits never really shine (though I think the third game is actually the best in this regard), but you still will probably enjoy the games if you are a big RPG fan.
