I can't understand why people don't play me1 before me2 (except for the ps3 ofc), i mean i was late to the franchise, i bought me1 and 2 together as a steam deal a while back. If i hadn't have played 1 first, i wouldn't have been anywhere near as engrossed with the story and the characters as i am. Me1 to me captured the whole wonder of being in space, i loved the early scenes with ash and kaidan all just wandering about the normandy and the citadel being stunned, because it was exactly how i felt. Me1 sets the feeling and the story, me2 is a good fun romp with biotic charges and mad sidekicks.

I bought ME for myself last fall (b/c I wanted ME2 for Christmas) and started it, but got my ass kicked on Feros - which for some reason I went to before Therum - so many times that I gave up for a couple of months. Then I thought to myself, "Ooh, maybe combat in ME2 is easier," and booted it up later. It was, but I had no freakin' clue what was going on and there was no Kaidan in the first 3 hours of the game, so I promptly went back and started ME1 over again.

And found the casual setting.

In fact, I'd love it if they could make an ME2 comic, so I can import my Shepards directly without actually having to go on a space scavenger hunt for companions. I am missing me some Kaidan and I strongly feel another playthrough coming on, but I don't know if I wanna deal with those stupid Collectors again.


Edit:  This page needs some Kaidan.

My boyfriend makes me retell him all the books from Skyrim. His ancient laptop can't run majority of games... and some thin MacBook he wants as an upgrade probably won't be able either.

Why play ME2 before ME1? Some people find ME1 gameplay... rather slow, and planetary exploration taking long runs on not perfect landscape. ME2 has more fast pacing gameplay. I won't say I've played ME2 before ME1 or recommend doing that, but I've seen people playing exclusively ME2.

EDIT: Oh, difficulty settings... I remember my first ME2 run - cold start (no shooter practice recently), Vanguard, without knowing maps layout or order of enemy appearance, without knowing when to charge, without anything. On Veteran. You know, I totally understand Shepard not being able to put two words together on Horizon - previous battle left me with shaking hands and headache.

I played ME2 before ME1 - I had been a huge DA franchise fan and saw ME2 on the shelf at a store one day, and figured "why not, I've liked all the Bioware games I've tried so far!" so I was a total noob to the story and didn't understand most of what was going on, but I liked it so much that finishing ME2 made me want to go back and play the whole franchise the right way, so I bought ME1, fell in luuuurve with Kaidan, and imported to ME2, where I stayed loyal to him :3 ... so I did it in kind of a backwards way, but I did grow to love the franchise and am now a bigger fan of ME than DA! I would agree overall that ME2 is much better when you've played through ME1 (not to mention the crap default options ME2 gives you when you start without an import)

This very much!  I think I've done like 7 playthroughs in ME1 but have only been able to finish one of those imported characters for ME2.  I just hate the lack of Kaidan in ME2.  Honestly, one of the biggest reasons I'm looking forward to ME3 is because we finally get Kaidan back.

[sesheta255]

I knew Kaidan only had a cameo before I played ME2, just didn't expect the derp hell we got when we met up with him. I really thought we were going to have to rescue him from the collector base. My sons had already played through Horizon so came out of their rooms to see my reaction - there was much swearing and cursing and the game disc got thrown across the room, lmao.

It took me ages to play ME1, I resisted it for the longest time because it involved shooting, lol. I found my first playthrough as a soldier pretty boring, but the story had sucked me in enough that I did a 2nd playthrough as an adept and was totally hooked. I can;t be without biotics in any of my playthroughs now. I've lost count of how many playthroughs I've actually done over the years, lol. I was never able to do a playthrough where I could resist Kaidan and my Shepard stayed single so had to use the comic for that in ME2. I really, really hate that comic, lol.

[JillHawke]

I too found ME1 difficult at first,I got so frustrated and didn't know where to do in the story...So I gave it up for a few months and then I finally tried again.Then finished it^_^

I only completed it a few months ago then I got ME2 straight after.So I guess you could say I'm new to the ME series,since I recently only finished both games.

When I first tried ME...I wasn't a big fan (which was only because I didn't know hardly anything about it at the time)

My frustration got the better of me I guess.I assumed I wouldn't ever finish the game and (almost) traded it in:blush: but I'm glad I didn't.!

After completing the first one,I fell in love with the series and it's worldly characters<3

Before I even knew of Mass Effect, I was really into Fallout 3. When I started playing ME1, I had gotten so used to the poor aiming from Fallout that the gaming mechanics and shooting in ME were fairly easy for me. I think the only mission I had a problem with was Noveria, at the end where you fight Benezia's waves of commandos. I can never find a good place for cover no matter how many times I've played it, lol.

I had honestly never heard of ME until my brothers actually suggested I play since I was really into Fallout. This was a couple of months before ME2 came out so there was a lot of hype going on about the game. Bought ME1, fell in love with Kaidan and the rest is history. Waiting for ME3 has been torture! I need my Kaidan fix!

[Ellyria]

I remember my first playthough of ME1....

*boots up 360*
Me: Okay, this game is gonna rock, and maybe my hubby will get off my back for my 7 playthroughs of DA2!

*after Eden Prime and the Citadel, I head to Feros*
Me: Dammit, why does that glowing ability one shot me? And why are they making me walk the entire way to Exo-Geni HQ? This is going to take forever!

*forever later*
Me: WHY DO I KEEP DYING!!!!!!?!?!??!

*returns to the exo-geni employee hold out camp*
Lizbeth: Stop the rover!
Me: What Rover, you whacko? I've been walking the entire time!
The Mako: Appears out of nowhere.
Me: YOU COULD DRIVE THE ENTIRE WAY THERE?! WTFFFFFFFF!

*fighting the refugees*
Me: Why do I only get 5 grenades? And why do you guys keep shooting the colonists?! Didn't I tell you not to?! *punches a couple colonists*

*flirting with Kaidan on the Normandy*
The Husband: Why are you romancing that guy? God he's boring.
Me: Why, did you romance Ashley?
The Husband: Hell no! I romanced Liara!
Me: Does that mean you saved Kaidan on Virmire?
The Husband: No, he got smoked.
Me:

*playing the rest of the game*
Me: Screw this, I'm putting this on Casual.

I'm having a hard time finishing ME2 myself. Tester!FemShepard, Canon!FemShepard, and Renegon!DudeShepard made it to the end. However...

-Canon!FemShep needs to go through again because I missed a ton of stuff
-Paragon!FemShep needs to finish her Thane romance PT
-Paragon!DudeShep needs to finish his Samara romance PT
-Renegon!DudeShep needs another go around because he romanced Tali and I found it creepy, so I need to go back and have him romance Kelly
-Miscellaneous!FemShep may or may not go through ME2 as my Cheater!Shep. She's still in ME1 and I'm undecided

I just don't care for the "Go recruit this person and make them love you!" feel of ME2. That's what it feels like you're doing 90% of the time. I don't like it, no sir.

Yeah, at that point, I wanted to curl up into the fetal position and cry. A lot.

There should have at least been a secret hidden achievement for that: Stubborn as a Mule.

Soooo I took the letter audio down. As I know you know. And probably felt the great outpouring of sadness in the universe as it went offline.

But I'm back with vague hints of something happy to share with you! Stay tuned because later this week we're going to announce our Christmas surprise! To give you a hint, this is the project that will benefit GreenWish. Hope you're ready!

  Don't mean to laugh at your pain hon, but that's kinda amusing.  

*fighting the refugees*
Me: Why do I only get 5 grenades? And why do you guys keep shooting the colonists?! Didn't I tell you not to?! *punches a couple colonists*

Holy hannah, this!  Except, I could never get the hang of melee, and ended up shooting colonists when I meant to whack them.  And didn't get the hang of grenades, so I wasted all 5 before getting to the main area of colonists.

If we're talking about fun ME playthrough stories: Picture it, ME2 released.  I was pretty spoiler-free playing through.  I was hooked up to a 24-hour heart monitor at one point.  The doctor said to do normal activities, so playing video games fit into "normal", right?  That night I did a mission on a planet called Horizon.  Totally sucked with the Scion - hardcore sucking, garden-hose variety IYKWIM.  Repeated deaths, and getting pi**ed!  FINALLY get through the fight, I'm all happy because yay Kaidan, and then... 

Kaidan!?






Wasn't until after I shut the computer down for the night, feeling really really pi**ed off, that I remembered - heart monitor!  /FACEPALM  When I went for the follow up, I remember sputtering some apology in case there was weird activity reflected in the test.  Don't think anything showed, but for a moment...

Then the following week went for an endoscopy, and woke up in the middle of the procedure really pi**ed at Garrus because of his calibrations.  Nurses give weird looks when you wake up unexpectedly.

/my mind is a scary place

Aww! Vague hints make me sad and excited at the same time. But me and details? We're good friends

[Jean]

I got Mass Effect pretty close to its launch sooo long ago.
I don't remember ever seeing any marketing for the game, I just saw it sitting there on a shelf in gamestop and went out and rented it first because while it looked cool, it may not of been for me.

I bought it a couple days later.

I got Dragon Age Origins not long after I got ME2 on release, which wasn't too terribly long after its release either. I knew a lot of game plots though, like the Dark Ritual that made me lmao the whole time at Alistair. Got DAII on release day.

Thanks Jacqui, and Rafael of course.  Can't wait to see our Christmas surprise

[AkodoRyu]

Great news Jacqui, I'll be looking forward to it.

From me, managed to add lashes to the model, though there's still minor clipping. Maybe I should copy the mesh from Sheploo instead of Marge, but OH WELL. Since now I know how to do that, there won't be a problem if I find a better weighted source

Also, a demo of new specular maps - goal to finish today's evening. Toughest part are those ugly seams on the scalp/neck. Yeah, face texture is 1024pix while scalp and hair tex is 512 >_> Clickie:

Kaidan's assets belong to BW and EA, I own nothing.

Christmas surprise and helping the planet?  I think this is the best Christmas yet!
