I loved all of Noveria and Feros in Mass Effect 1. Those are my two favorite missions out of all of ME1 and ME2.  Even though Bring Down the Sky was DLC, it probably ranks as my third favorite mission in the series so far.  It was also an excellent mission.

While on the subject of missions, I really liked the longer style missions in ME1 as opposed to the shorter missions in ME2.  I feel that the longer missions really made me feel more engrossed in what was going on.

In ME1, I loved the way that Ashley Williams was written, and the kind of conversations you can have with her.  I like how she has her own opinion, and doesn't just fold easily in discussions with Shepard.  I also like how these conversations present an opportunity to define who Shepard is, as well - his views on politics, his views on religion, and so forth.  I would like more conversations like this in ME3 - discussions where Shepard can explain his own views on complex subjects to characters like Ashley or Miranda.  This gives the player a chance to flesh out the background of their own character, and makes him seem less... I don't know... "stiff" and "disconnected" from the game world.

I liked the more complex skill system in ME1, but I also like (and prefer) the simplified combat style and weapon and armor systems in ME2.  Ultimately ME3 will be whatever the Bioware team wants it to be, but I think it would be neat to have a system that melds the skill system of ME1 with the combat, armor, and gun system from ME2.

I like Zaeed and Kasumi.  Both had excellent loyalty missions, especially Kasumi's, which was a nice change of pace.  Even though they're DLC characters, I think Bioware got a lot right when they created them.  I only wish it were possible to have real conversations with them on ship to get to know their characters better - because both of them are so awesome.

I really enjoy Overlord and Lair of the Shadow Broker, and hope that the next DLC is as fun and is written as well as those two were.  Even though it was a small element in the Shadow Broker DLC, I like how there were references to Shepard's past, like his unit on Akuze.  It reminded me of how the character's background was often referenced in ME1, and would change the way other characters reacted to you -  which is something else that I loved about that game.

The thing that I miss most from ME1, would be Ashley and Kaidan.

For ME2 . . . when you first discover that Garrus is Archangel on Omega. . that was very heart warming. It was a nice (if small) comfort that some of Shepard's old friends from ME1 would be with her throughout the whole time.



Tali talking about her people in ME1 was very interesting. I loved those conversations. She was one of the most interesting characters the first time around; right up there with Kaidan, and Liara. Meeting Liara was pretty awesome. The opening scene, with the heroic music playing, as your newly created Shepard walks the length of the Normandy, is definitely one of the scenes with warm fuzzies.



And of course the romance scenes (blue butt FTW, lol)

 i think that my happy memories of this game are most of paragon sheps speeches. that and just the general atmosphere, and the squad members are all interesting in their own way.

Oh yeah! My top favorite speeches ever...


Mass 1- Assuming control of the Normandy for the first time...(see what I did there???)Posted Image


Mass 2- Suicide Mission speech was absolutely amazing and totally summed up how I felt at that moment...Bioware seems to always know what's on my mind! Tis' a marvel!Posted Image

Mass Effect 1: When the Mako first splashed down onto Virmire and I recognized the shot from one of the cinematic trailers. ME1 had failed to really pull me in until that point, and I felt very engaged just by the entire look of Virmire, with the water, sand, and overcast.



Mass Effect 2: First being put in charge of the SR2 and just walking around a gleaming brand new ship wondering what my first move was going to be. I also liked the feeling of some areas of the ship being off-limits initially...at the time I had assumed they were put in place by the Illusive Man so that Shepard wouldn't have entire control of the ship, a way of controlling him.

My favorite mass effect memory is the Charm dialogue in the last conversation with Saren:



"We can still stop them! You can still be a hero!"

"Goodbye Shepard. Than you." BAM



Pure gold, right there

Woahwoahwoahwoah*... It's very cool to see  you on here... But woah.

When you say "wow moments"... I hope you mean they're even more emotionally wow than what we've seen already!  Like Boromir-fighting-to-his-last-breath wow... or Aenea-marching-into-st-peter's-basilica wow... or Tom-arriving-at-Xibalba wow... Pretty much any "wow" that almost had me in tears! 

*Don't know why I sound like Dr Zoidberg, there...

Just thought of another one...after you complete Jack and Miranda's loyalty missions in ME2 they have a fight. When Joker tells you about it he says "Commander Jack and Miranda are about to have it out, you should get down there before they tear out a bulkhead" or something like that. after you say you'll take care of it he says "Take pictures". hilarious

ME2:

The mansion in Kasumi's lair, if only Shepard could have stole that, it was beautiful.

First walking in Omega after only hearing the base leaking through the doors/building.



ME1:

First Threshermaw encounter... oh God, oh God, oh God

I really liked that speech.

ME1-Actually the intro still gives me the chills. I just watched it again, and even with the sound on my husband's headphones, I had goosebumps.

ME2- The Rengade interrupt of the Wereloc Clanspeaker on Tuchanka. I play a Paragon and I still can't help but take that interrupt.

All the other posters got me  more or less covered , but I'm gonna add a couple, which I didn't see being mentioned.

From Mass Effect 1: Noveria (if I'm not mistaken) when you have to input a code and you choose "Mumble something"  from the dialogue wheel. I just couldn't stop laughing :o

From Mass Effect 2: I hadn't watch a single trailer of the game, so when I realised that I was going to have a Geth on the squad, I was pretty much shocked!

Great idea for a thread! The amount of cynical threads on these boards are suffocating. Here's my happy memories:



Mass Effect:

1) My first landing on an uncharted world with the Mako and trolling around the moutains of Presrop with it. I'd heard from a friend that the the Mako would be impossible, but I was happily surprised that it wasn't, and feeling like a galactic explorer going boldly where no man has gone before was just a thrill.

2) Landing on the Moon for the Rogue VI mission and seeing Earth and the Sun. After all the far-flung uncharted worlds in strange solar systems, returning home was a wow-moment.

3) The Battle of the Citadel, all the way.



Mass Effect 2:

1) The friendships my Shepard was able to develop with the squad, especially Mordin, Samara, and Thane.

2) Shepard's Paragon speeches, especially his "I'm going to stop the Reapers, but I'm not going to sacrifice the soul of our species to do it" to the Illusive Man at the end.

3) Curb-stomping the Collectors and getting out with everyone alive, followed by a satisfying explosion.

I must mention, like others have, that it is very nice to see a BioWare dev comment on the forums other than for an announcement or to correct some misinformation. It has been a while. :)

Good news -- the game is set with a lot of time to test and fix...
Bad news -- no clue if us fans had any input.  Certainly no discussion, though LotSB proved that they're still listening.

EDIT -- I feel utterly off-topic here.

ME1 -- Going through the Conduit was my biggest one... that and ... the night before.
ME2 -- Lair.  Wow.  Best writing BioWare's ever done, ever, in DLC for a game where my main complaint was the writing.  Made my Talimancer friend who never comes here say he thinks Liara's the best written character in the series.  ... Wow.

That moment, making him see what happened to him...realizing that he had fallen into the indoctrination and will of sovereign, was probably the most significant character moment throughout the entire game. I had read Revelation, and so I knew what Saren was like...such an interesting character....such a tragic character. I felt so bad for him at that point. I knew he had been mislead...Virmire confirmed that.

I wish we had Saren as a helper in defeating the Reapers...he really was someone that...man...he was just an amazing character.
