Finished Mass Effect 1. 8-)

Took 15 and a half hours to beat it.

My main team was usually Tali and Wrex.

Some of the eventful choices I made were:
Spoiler:
-Kaiden dying, instead of Ashley.
-Liara was the love interest.
-I let the counsel die at the end. :lol:
-I made Saren shoot himself in the head. :mrgreen:


I give it an 9/10 score overall~ Very fun, but definitely took some getting use to. Looking forward to playing number 2 after I play through AC2. :)

Those are exactly the same choices I picked!!! :lol:

Oh my god lol.

How about these decisions:

Did the Rachni Queen live or die?
Did Wrex live or die?

Anyway, you are definitely gonna love both AC2 and ME2 far more than the first games if you loved those. Both are enormous improvements over the other. There are some things in ME2 that I missed from ME1, but the game surpasses the first one by a lot. AC2 also tells a better story both in the Animus and in present day, and has a much better variety of locales and missions. I'll let you figure out the rest.

Wrex lived. He was easily the most useful crew member for me, he was pretty much invincible for the second half of the game. :lol:

Wrex died in my first save file because I was stupid and tried to raise both intimidate and charm. I didn't have enough of either to calm him down so Ashley killed him D:

Spoiler:
You can actually get him back off if you don't have any points in charm or intimidate, and there's two ways of doing that, one far harder (it almost has to be specifically prepared for) than the other.

Spoiler:
If you do his sidequest he backs off immediately stating "[Shepard's] done more for him than his family ever did". He also will back off if you only have four squad members so the game doesn't break.

Ah, okay. I'll be sure to keep that in mind when I play ME1 again in case I can't get him to back off via Para/gade convo option.

Started AC2. Very impressed with it. They refined almost everything, only thing that I've found fault with so far are the faces on most characters look a bit odd and considering it's a fairly new game, I'd expect better. I'm not terribly picky with graphics though so it's not a big deal to me. :)

Finished with Florence for now. Got all the treasure chests from the first two maps, got several feathers and found two glyphs.

I may possibly even go for the platinum trophy (which would be my first) since I'm enjoying it so much~ 8-)

@Prin - Told ya you'd love it 8-)

Made a lot more progress in ME3:
Spoiler:
I defeated the Reaper on the quarian homeworld and managed to get the geth and quarians to work with each other, making my War Asset count go way up. I did almost every side quest I could do at this point in the game and now my total War Asset count is 6295, which is amazing... I think :lol:.

Did the mission on Thessia and was extremely pissed that that fucker Kai Leng stole the data needed to complete the Crucible. But it was an awesome mission nonetheless. I got to use the Black Widow for the first time. With my weapon mods increasing its damage, this weapon is a monster :shock:

I just finished the last N7 mission in the game and earned myself yet another achievement. I will hold off on continuing the main story for now because I probably won't go to sleep if I try finishing the game tonight. xD

I gotta say though... I'm so freaking excited for the finale of this trilogy. I can only imagine what will happen.
