Well which Mass Effect had better characters and story the first Mass Effect or the 2nd and why? I still haven't played the 2nd cuz i'm waiting for all the DLC to be released before I do. So what does everyone else think that played both games? Thanks!

[cdtrk65]

Your joking right?

ME1 had a better story, ME2's was too non-existent and redundant for my liking.

ME2 had better and more entertaining characters though, some of the ones in ME1 were a bit standard and boring at times.

ME1 has a better main plot, but the worst party members BioWare has ever made (they're all boring and bland). ME2's characters were much better, but the main plot isn't as good.



And I think you're gonna wait a long time if you want all DLC released. And besides, all DLC released after the last one take place AFTER the main plot. Lair of the Shadow Broker (the latest DLC) can be played after the main plot (there's different dialogue)

I was about to post that. The character development in ME2 is much better than than the one on ME1. Mainly due to the recruitment/loyalty missions.

Mass Effect 1 had a tighter story but lacked a lot of character development. Mass Effect 2's story is just as good, but it seem to doesn't flow as well as the first game's story did. The character development is much better in ME2.

Mass effect 1 had a better story, but I think the characters were just as good in ME2.

Wrong move.

Mass Effect 1 definitely has a better story, and while I wouldn't say the characters in it are boring, more down to earth if anything, they aren't as exotic as the ones in ME2.

That said the character development in ME2 feels off. Like for a lot of them it just seems to stop after only a few interactions, and you cant have any more conversations with them. This leaves you really wanting to know more about these guys, but unable to. Which was a bummer for me.

ME1 : better story
ME2 : better characters (personality, development, story ...)

Bah, Wrex was just a bland version of Canderous Ordo. Only Garrus was cool, he's Batman after all

If we forget the end boss in ME2 (doesn't still make any sense to me, just shoot the thing???) ME2 is better in every way. Well almost... a couple of things could be changed... but overall, way better.

This.

Sometimes I feel like Kaidan and Ashley get a raw deal because they seem so normal. I love them both. I never found either of them boring or bland. I also thought there were way more opportunities to talk to them...get to know them. 

Anyway. I like both games- for different reasons. I really don't have a favorite out of the two. OP, you should totally play ME2. It is good stuff. (:

LOL

There's no question that ME1 had a much better story.

And due to all the recruitment missions and variety of characters, ME2 had better character development. But the only reason ME2 had better character development was because it got rid of the plot, and replaced it with recruitment and loyalty missions. If ME3 can have a decent plot, and retain ME2's character development without making 20+ bloody missions to attain that character development, then we have a winning lottery ticket.

ME2 had a better story because it had Martin Sheen in it



Also if you don't like the Loyalty missions just don't do them. As side quests go they are pretty fantastic.



Though in all honesty I would put the ME1 story slightly above ME2. Even though it doesn't have Martin Sheen in it.

[Mike2640]

Martin Sheen's also gonna be Uncle Ben in the awful new Spider-Man reboot...
Just sayin'.

TBH I love them both, I can't play ME2 without an import from ME1 though - I lose interest.

I'm waiting (im)patiently for a friend to return my copy of ME1... it does keep calling me back.

Nice, I’m gonna steal this.  ==

Anyway ME 1 has a better plot but that’s to be expected. ME didn’t have to worry about conflicting with anything and is set up. Everything is fresh and new to the player so has more to draw from. ME 2 is a in a universe we are already familiar with and is the middle witch always seem to be the weakest point in a story. Still could have been much better IMO (tho you can say that about any story) and it feels like it was thought out after ME1 had already been made. If you’re making a trilogy you should have the plot for the whole thing at least roughly sketched up before you release anything so it flows and ties together properly. It dosn’t feel like bioware did this.

Characters...hmmm I flick around on this one a bit. There are more characters in ME2 and they feel more involved because you get to know them thru the loyalty and recruitment missions (which are excellent btw) rather than just in conversations between you and them aboard the ship. The missions make you more involved in their own story and show how they respond not just to you but to others and situations. I think most people find them more interesting because their more, as Mike2640 already said “exotic” but they are also rather clichéd. The ME1 character are more ‘normal’ and rounded. I know people who act very similar to Ash and Kai, and Wrex like he could be a real person/ krogan/ whatever but they can sometimes be a bit boring.  You don’t play a sci fi game for normal and average I suppose.

ME2 felt like a filler episode, to be honest. There's barely any development to the series' overall plot. The Collectors may has well have never existed since they are all dead and will never have an impact on the main Reaper conflict as far as ME3 is concerned. They can leave behind some powerful technology for you, but that's it.



Still, it had much better and more extensive characters. You begin to feel invested in them after a while.

[KreeCapt]

ME1 had a better Story. ME 2 had far better character development. Both had equally amazing finales, but ME2 had my stomach in knots for just knowing that not everyone could survive. THAT was a thrill for me and something I had not experenced in gaming quite like how they handled it.

ME1 had the least number of plot holes. ME2's story felt rushed and unfocused, among other major flaws. This thread really belongs in the Spoilers section of the forums, so I'll just leave it at that.
