I cannot often enough emphasize on the fact that I bought the game october/november 2009 by sheer boredom and wanton to get a new game, and whilst slendering through the stuff in my local allround market, I just got a gasp on Mass Effect and roughly remembered having had read something good about the game and just grabbed and bought it (thought if the game turns out crap, it would have been only 20€, and I reaaally was bored at that time!).
I put the disc in, got the laucher menue and was already greeted by the as I found good theme, then proceeded to install the game whilst similarily hazing through the manual, which gave me another good feeling. Then I got into the game, and by the beginning of when I could move, I was practically sold. I already knew by then that those twenty bucks were not spent in vain. Then I proceeded through the prologue, and found it great. THEN I got to the Citadel and finally discovered the Codex, ... that was the point I wanted to have children with it (not literally spoken of course, ... I am not that such of a pervert!).
When did you know it was love?

This is very difficult question for me to answer.
With ME1 I read alot of reviews before I bought the game and I had a feeling that it was going to be the start of somthing Epic. When playing the game I could see teh the massive potential but at no point did I ever feel as if I was playing a Masterpiece. I did not actually begin to appreciate ME1 untill I had played and beaten ME2 ( I had not finished ME1 yet ) beating ME2 inspired me to push on through ME1 despite its faults and levels like Noveria, Virmire and Ilos showcased ME at it's best.
With ME2 I fell in love with it during the Intro, the destruction of the Normandy SR-1. I do have alot of minor nit picks here and there but ME2 is by far one of the best games I have ever played.

Hello there, friend. Stay a while, and listen. As gamers and fans, we can be a very picky bunch. It's not always easy to tell if the game you picked out is a sure hit for you from the beginning. For example, I was highly reluctant at the beginning of Fallout 3 of where this was going, exactly. But over time at one point or another, it was love. <3
So now we reach the question, forumites. When did you know it was love? The first time you launched a geth in the air with your mind? Solved a moral dilemma? Or perhaps you just had a hard-on for Tali. Regardless, let me know with some posting below.

P.S.
It became love after about 2 or 3 hours of dissatisfaction. I couldn't get into the game because I just couldn't relate to my character. I just kept laughing at the stiff responses in spots where I wasn't supposed to be laughing (same as when I watch anything with Chuck Norris). About 3 hours in, I decided to give the female Shep a try before giving up.
Love at first sight/listen. Now I can't quit playing it. Of course the downside is my characters can never get with Miranda or Jack.

At first, the opening cinematic.
Then, the speech you give to your crew.
Then there's the citadel. Awesome stuff I tell you.
At last, when I talked with Liara in the ship...
Of course, then there was the ending, but that's another completely different story about epicness that I'll tell ya another time, kids!

I started ME serie with ME2.
Game play was looking ****** but i didn't like the begining, shepard die and is resurected casualy, graphic wasn't that good on the station, only metalic coridor, metalic door... metalic crate... bots ...
When i get on Omega i was "wouho!" i feel the ambiance of this city full of ganster, smugler and poor soul trying to make their day.
Then i entered the club.... totaly crazy ambiance, pure win ! i was totaly absorbed by the ME univers.

For me, it was when I first shifted the Mako into gear on a dazzling alien landscape. I'm a scenery porn junkie.

I think it was the opening cinematic. I watched it (and an entire playthrough) on YouTube. I had to - I didn't own a 360 at the time. Mass Effect is the reason I got one.

It was somewhere between being able to play a female character that wore the same armor as the guys and was a respected commander and realising that I could be Captain Picard and solve half the game's problems diplomatically without actually shooting 
would love a moment like this somewhere in ME3:

When I realised Wrex is actually Canderous Ordo reincarnated as a space dinosaur.
Bahaha.
For me it was everything about the intro sequence.

The main menu.
Also, after pressing start, characters appear one by one in reverse alphabetical order

When I saw the expression in Shepard's face when she said to Presley "you don't trust Nihlus". Arbitrary, irrelevant, yes. But that expression made something somehow. I think I was too used to Oblivion and Fallout's dull faces. Such a little detail did it for me.

The first landing at the Ctadel really impressed me. The intro was very nice and the music really top notch. Also the first husks on Eden Prime it was WTH and barely fought them off because I was watching it happen.
Yeah I knew pretty quickly what a great game it would be. The commercials and ads were meh (I'm looking at you glaxy with SOSs everywhere) and I waited until it was $20 to try it.

The opening was the crush, enjoying while waiting it to be really good as the first impression, then when my Shep became Spectre, I found love.

Punching the crazy/prophetic scientist in ME1.
I had no idea that was gonna be my Shep's response.
From there on out, I knew I was in store for a truck load of awesome.
More problems should have punching as a solution in the ME universe.
Just like real life.

Well....seeing the videos for it back in 2006....man what memories...I'm kind of choked up right now....I mean, after beating Mass 1, I envisioned what life would be like whenn 3 hit. Crazy stuff.
Anyways...when I first learned that as Shepard was standing behind Joker and Kaidan, that you could actually choose what to say on the diallogue wheel at that very moment! AND the Citadel arrival!
