Figured I'd make a post for our newly combined forums, what better way with a game conversation? I'm leaving my first post spoiler free, so that anyone who may not want to know something, doesn't get a face full of spoilers when they open it. Any post I make after will.
Any other villagers into/played the Mass Effect series? Number 2 just came out and it's pretty damn awesome, makes me want to replay the first one just to get different outcomes in the second. The character development is pretty good, they really grow on you as you do your squad mates side missions and learn some of their back stories (not for all of them, some are kinda dull but the majority are good.) Think my favorite people are Mordin and Thane, both very interesting and well done characters.
If you're still reading this and haven't played either of the games and you enjoy a good RPG (albeit with shooter elements,) with a good story, the Mass Effect series is a great pick. The voice acting is top notch and the presentation is wonderful and helps pull you in.
