Hi there, newbie is in the house (thread, whatever). First post ever on this entire network, but I started playing Mass Effect in... February? Wait, no, I was still playing Dragon Age then... uh... I think I started my first playthrough sometime in April (finished it within a week, but only cos it was term break and I was playing it on casual mode), then an awesome friend of mine gifted me with ME2, so I started with that immediately, and also finished it just before the next term started! (Needless to say, my schoolwork suffered quite a bit.)
So yeah. Since then, I've completed ME1 with two other characters, started ME2 with them a fair while ago, and am also doing a second playthrough of my first ME1 character, trying to get to level 60 on Hardcore. Hasn't gone too badly, so far, but I suspect that's in large part due to the fact that I'm starting out at a high level and have retained all my Master Spectre gear, eheh.
And all of my Shepards so far have been - and most likely will be - female. Can you tell I like femshep yet?

So yeah, sorry if my intro post was too long and boring and... uh, yeah... I'll just... *cough*. (Can you also tell that I don't do this often?)
