ME2 does not have the damn mako driving sequences. Nor the long elevator rides. And ME2's side missions are varied so a majority of them don't feel like: go from A to B, kill guys inside building C.
Agreed. I hated those elements of ME1. The Mako was okay in the main mission planets, but elsewhere it was just frustrating and boring.
The only thing I miss from ME1 was the looting.
I hated the looting. Having my hellish inventory being filled up with useless crap.
Also Saren is not as amazing of an antagonist as I remember. He has a few decent monologues, but other than that he's just doesn't feel as personal as most remember him as.
Well he's better than
Harbinger. I liked Saren. We just didn't get enough screen time with him.
I really like TIM as the antagonist in ME because he's not a direct antagonist. It feels like an Anakin/Palpatine situation because TIM is trying to convert you to his side, see things his way. TIM plays within the greys to do this. This really plays with your way of thinking and who you want to become. Whereas in ME Saren comes off as a fanatic whose gone crazy, trying to convince you that siding with genocidal super-machines is the best way to live when you can clearly see him going mad. TIM on the other hand tells you you have to sacrifice the little things in order to preserve everything and to defeat the Reapers.
TIM is a great villain. he blurs the lines between enemy and ally.
So Harbinger was not meant to be the antagonist. It was TIM. This whole game was about who you are, where do you stand, what are you willing to sacrifice?
I don't know about that. I think TIM was a "villain," but I don't think he was the main antagonist. I mean he's
helping the protagonist (Shepard) most of the time.
