I introduced Mass Effect to my girlfriend, she loved it. Or loved Thane rather. At any rate I'm happy and very lucky to be blessed with her... and Mass Effect.

Do cats count? If so, yes. As soon as they hear ME music coming out of my TV, they both come running from wherever they are and make themselves comfortable atop my bed as it has the best view of the TV.

They don't do much other than sit 'n watch, but on occasion they seem to get rather excited when it's time to punch/not punch the lady with the really long name.

If Shepard goes for it, their tails start wagging like crazy and their purrs get louder. If Shepard decides against it, my cats turn around and give me a look that says plain as day, "You're the most boring human ever. Like, ever-ever." I should post a pic of 'em next time I'm playing and post it. They're too precious.

My wife is not the least bit interested in games unfortunately. Or maybe fortunately, more play time for me!

Hey Paul, did you stop using your medication? I told you to not stop taking your meds, because you'll start hallucinating about cats following ME.

Tried to get my boy into it. Just didn't click very well with him, it seems =\\ Then again he's not a gamer. Mostly he just plays jrpgs with multi player functionality with me to enjoy a story along with me and that's it. I'm just glad he survives that I'm an unsocial little crack who semi-ignores him for new games at times =)

I do talk a lot though so I'm guessing he has picked up a lot from just... hearing me ramble XD Similar to how I am with cars nowadays due to him I guess. Never thought I'd correct a friend on car-related issues considering I've never been at the wheel, ever.

Cats laying around doing nothing but wiggle their tail is awesome? Wow, seeing grass grow must also be really exciting for you.

My bf and I both played (and loved) ME1, but he STILL hasn't played 2 >_< He'd rather play the old school games like megaman and metroid. Which is all well and good, but I keep telling him he's missing out on some great games.

[LilyasAvalon]

When DA2 gave away those 'free' copies of ME2, I actually gave my free copy to my boyfriend... however, he refused to play it because it was '2'... So cue in me running around like a chicken with it's head chopped off trying to find the no longer produced Mass Effect 1.

 Have any of you out there introduced your significant other to the Mass Effect series? My girlfriend recently expressed an interest in seeing it and I'm not sure how to show her, especially seeing as she's a nongamer.

Anyone have any fun stories or suggestions?

It was my hubbies brother (identical twins...confusion......) who got me into the game to begin with...I watched him play and it eventually caught my interest enough to try it out, then I got hooked.......but though hubby himself has watched me play the game multiple times...so much so, he knows all the characters, story line, consider's my custom Shep to be THE Shep...he likes the story, but feels he doesn't have the time to really play it as it's an immersion game...he works a lot of hours, so tends to stick with games like Battle Field and GRAW...games he can play piece meal...He see's a game like ME as a game in which you get immersed and caught up with the story, it would leave him too tired, so just watches mine for the enjoyment of the game instead.

Seriously, the real question is why were you hiding it?

I've introduced my cat and my room mate to mass effect. don't have a significant other to introduce to the series.

[Regurgitating-Ferret]

I introduced the games to one of my guy friends, I just mentioned the words "sex" and "aliens" and he brought them the next day.

Am I the only one who read the tittle as "how to indoctrinat your wife/ect."? lol but to answer the question yes mass effect and assassins creed were the first games I sort of made my gf play and now she is hooked on gaming. I also let another friend of mine, who was a casual gamer, borrow me1 on a friday. That monday he wasnt at school which was not normal for him so I stoped at his house on the way home. He told me the game was ruining his life... He was playing so much he kept forgeting to shower and eat lol.

[jeweledleah]

Yes. he made it as far as Noveria (did Therum and Feros first actually, so more then half of the game, though he didn't do side quests) and then gave up. not his sort of game. which is fine, since he plays fallout and warhammer almost obsessively and I've yet to finish a fallout 3 or new vegas playthrough, and my warhammer character got as far as lvl 3 before I abandonded her. We don't have to enjoy all of the same games, its enough that we're both gamers (he's waaay better at shooters too >_>)

unfortunately, I have no ideas on how to introduce the non-gamer to ME my last attempt was gushing about my characters to my sister.. which lasted all of 5 minutes before her eyes started to glaze over and that was the end of that.

I introduced her to it right after the pc launch of part 1, she's an ever bigger Mass Effect geek than I am since

[Twilight_Princess]

Well I tried but i doubt it'll ever be a thing we can share (maybe ME3 will change that hmm...). I think we can call ourselves a gamer couple  and while we generally enjoy the same types of games there’s one genre that divides us . I love rpgs and he doesn’t (dramatic music ). Now there are some genres I don’t particularly like that he does but the difference is I don’t stubbornly  decide they’re all the same and decide never to play any of them . I’m still willing to give any kind of game a go while the BF, well if he doesn’t like something he won’t like it.  Not only does he hate rpgs he also doesn’t like sci-fi. So he took one look at Mass Effect , saw it was a sci-fi AND role playing game and decided immediately that he wouldn’t like it. It was a double whammy . He makes his mind up about things way to quickly and that really stops him from trying new things which is a shame.

I never pestered him to play it but I didn’t hide how much I loved the series , I hoped in time he would look past all the sci-fi and give it a chance.  I will admit to doing sneaky things though, like saving right before a cool bit and then loading it up while he was in the background so that if he glanced over he would  see something awesome.  Didn't work  he totally ignored it. Still, he finds my Mass Affection cute even though he doesn't get it.

The annoying thing is he DID actually purchase ME2 at one point  (a miracle!) but after a week he told me he gave it back .When I asked why and he said “too much talking I just wanted to get on with it” which really sums up why he cannot get “into” rpgs or anything with a heavy story like I can.  I did warn him that starting with ME2 might be a bit confusing for him but I think he thought he could “skip” all the dialogue parts if he wanted.  It was pretty funny quietly watching him pick up my DA:O (without  knowing anything about it) and start to play  it only to get 20 mins in before he lost his mind XD.

Oh well, we both have our fandoms and that’s ok, he buys me Mass Effect stuff and I get him something Bruce Campbell related so it’s all good LOL.

OP obviously just got a girlfriend who he told about ME and she didn't call him a nerd and was actually supportive. Don't see another reason to make such a pathetic thread other then mass enthusiasm.

[Obsidian Gryphon]

I intro the game to my dog and it's all "WUFF!" to him.

Actually, we've been dating for half a year now. And I was just curious to how people introduce friends and family to the game. 

No reason to be butthurt.

[rpgfan321]

I talked about ME to my non-gamer friend, and the response I got was 'Yeah. That's nice.'

My brother plays MMOs and tried to talk him into playing it, but lost interest.

It would be nice to find a boyfriend who also loves to game. Alas ... *sad face*
