Can you keep on playing mass Effect even after you beat the main storyline?

 ^^^^^ If so, I'll make sure to do all the side quests first.

No, not in ME1. There's a cutoff point after you've done your fourth major plotline world, exluding Eden Prime. For most people this is Virmire. Once you've done the last one out of Therum, Noveria, Feros and Virmire you're automatically taken back to The Citadel and then the last location opens up. While you can still run around doing UNC quests before prior to this, it doesn't make much sense and any you do related to returning to The Citadel can't be finished since you can't go back there (such as Nassana Dantius' one).



I personally find it best to do each sidequest planet as I get their entries in the journal after each main world. For example, after leaving The Citadel for the first time I go to Therum to get Liara and then do any sidequests in my journal, then return to The Citadel after they're done, then move onto Noveria, then do whatever sidequests there are in my journal, then back to The Citadel, then Feros, etc. I feel this makes things feel more natural (you're only actually going to systems in your journal after all, instead of just randomly going out there for nothing) and helps break up the sidequests nicely so you're not doing them all at once. Also, by the time you've finished Feros, all the sidequests are in your journal, and so once you've done them you can pretty much clean up the last systems and head to Virmire without needing to worry about more quests popping up. If you were thorough in your questing you should also have completed all your collection quests (minerals, ID dags, insignias, Matriarch writings, etc.)



With ME2 however, you can play after the ending and credits if you so choose, so it's not as much an issue there.

Well that sucks. And there's only 4 main worlds?

Well, there's the following:-

- Eden Prime
- Citadel

Then the following open up:-

- Therum
- Noveria
- Feros

Do any two of those and then the following opens up:-

- Virmire

Once all four are done then it's back to The Citadel and then one more major planet opens up. Then there's another major location after that I won't spoil, but you're pretty much on the rails after being forced back to The Citadel).

4 main worlds is typical of Bioware games, apparently. I think it was Patrick Weekes who quoted some mental study about stupid users not remembering more than four items at a time.
:D 
ME2 has four hub worlds that you can revisit continuously: Citadel, Illium, Tuchanka, Omega

Don't be disheartened about getting ME1. I think its longer then ME2, or at least it take longer for e to play through it. Great games, both of them.

I seem to recall that ME1 makes a hidden save at the completion of the main storyline. This is what is used to import into ME2, so while you can do some stuff after completion, it's not gonna count toward ME2. ME2 doesn't work like that so you can do other side missions and DLC after the "Suicide Mission".

Also you can face off against Saren and his overlord and then start over with all of you high level gear (which duplicates whatever you are using) and start a new game where you can then do any of the assignments you missed before.

Some of those missions and assignments need a higher Paragon or Renegade score anyway so the extra point from becoming a Spectre and increasing the meters can give you some fun dialogue the 2nd or 3rd time around.

Edit: fixing bad grammar and syntax...

Oh, I already have ME1, might be my game of the generation, and I'm planning on getting ME2, I was just wondering.
