When Shep was promoted to Spectre...

[sedrikhcain]

Well ME was one of the first games I played with the 2009-era hardware, so it looked like something special to me the moment they showed Shepard and crew about to embark on Eden Prime, but the game/series really grabbed me at the moment when Shepard becomes a Spectre. That was just a great cinematic scene and my gameplay up to that point had built up to it. I was very much immersed in the experience from there.

I'm not exactly going to sound original, given what others have posted. It happened in stages. My wife and I actually bought our 360 almost on a whim, to surprise our son, and that SF RPG looked good...

I struggled with the interface throughout the Eden Prime section, so that kind of threw me out at first. Then we got to the Citadel, I started getting the hang of things...and Paragon that i am, I talked both Udina and the turian Councillor down. And they made me a Spectre. It was like becoming a Lensman and a 00 all at once. Awesome.

I chose to go after Liara first, and my first landing in the Mako was...not in the right place. I got a Thresher Maw my first time out. I think I jumped a foot when I heard that sound for the first time. About an hour of play later, I finally found Therum. Not long after that, I knew who my LI was going to be.  

Feros was epic and Noveria was an emotional roller coaster (I'M SORRY LIARA!), but then came Virmire. "You are not Saren." Saren justifying himself. An earth-shattering kaboom. Whoa.

And yes, finally, Vigil. Everything made sense. It all tied together. I think I babbled to my wife for ten minutes about how brilliant it all was. That's when I knew with a certainty that it wouldn't be my last playthrough, and that we were witnessing a change in how video games are made.

I was disappointed in bits of ME 2, but the reason I sucked up the thermal clips, being forced to work with Cerberus and the ripping out of the RPG elements was because the magic was still there, IMO. Meeting Tali. Rescuing Garrus. Seeing how Ash had grown. Reuniting with Liara and carefully getting past her defenses. Tuchanka, Wrex and the most epic handshake evah. Oh, and the new characters! Mordin, Jack, Gru Legion, Thane...as much as I love Liara, I had to make "clean" ME1 playthroughs with no romance so I could experience the options in the sequel. (What's that? Something about cheating on my LI? I can't hear you la la la la.) :innocent: 

So I guess it's been a whole evolution into obsession, but if I had to pinpoint the moments that turned me into a Massoholic, it'd be the Spectre ceremony, the Therum escape, meeting Sovereign and talking with Vigil. Shocking in how different that list is, I know, but I gotta be me.

the moment when ME opened up and became more than just a run of the mill shooter was Vigil. granted you had the whole sovvie conversation on virmire, but vigil actually laid out the real threat of the reapers to everyone and everything. for all the naysayers, i loved me2. granted it didnt really advance the reaper threat and kinda felt like BW didnt know what to do in the time upto the reaper invasion of earth, but it was fun.

Opening sequence, the elevator to bridge walk, and Tada reveal protagonist's face, I was like Whoa!

Then find out it's a damn fetch quest for a boring beacon, I was like Nooooooo, let Nihlus do it himself!

Then the video of all hell breaking loose on Eden Prime, I was like, Oh-oh, I think we're in deep poopy-doo!

Then landing on Eden Prime with a squad of, count them, two guys, I was like sneaking behind every rock and tree and nearly peed my pants when I accidently shot a gas bag.

Then Jenkins get's shot, and I'm, Oh, crap, it's just me and that useless Alenko guy who's half dead after just three little flying robot things and I so suck at shooters, why did I ever buy this game? I sneaked so hard after that, I think Ashley shot the first two 'real' geth all by herself, while I covered behind something three clicks away.

It just got better after that, even though I peed my pants a little again when the main badass alien guy, Nihlus got shot too. I was praying not to meet Saren as the level boss of the Eden Prime level.

Sorry, I think I channeled Thane there a bit.

Lol Colorful commentary

When the first screenshots & info about Mass Effect began coming out, I suspected something very interesting.
The first E3 video confirmed it, and I followed its progress. Almost made me buy a 360 too, but then I figured it would get a PC version, just like KoTOR & Jade Empire.
All I needed was patience, and it paid off quite nicely for me.

[Dominus]

There were several times that happened.

-Seeing the(at the time) amazing alien facial animations
-The very first time I used Biotics.
-Using the Pause-And-Play mechanics in a Third-Person Shooter.
-The Difficult Decision at Virmire.
-Ilos, from beginning to end.
-Kicking the Window to walk along the side of the citadel, with an enormous reaper in sight as I made my way futher in.

For me, it was when Captain Anderson said, "That's the only kind of person who *can* protect the galaxy."

[ZLurps]

There was something that I can't really put my finger on from the beginning, but scenes where Normandy approaches the Citadel and there is chatter (with your squad mates as you look the Citadel) and actually arriving in the Citadel Presidium... those moments.

[Trinity66]

When I heard the music while exloring Citadel.

[nelly21]

Too many people died here Fist, you don't get to walk away. BLAM!!!

[Lady Niltiak]

When Jenkins was killed in the first few minutes of the game. I thought "Leroy Jenkins!" and kept playing.

[Degs29]

When I was playing it 6 hours a day despite holding down a 9 to 5 job.

[circlesixtimes]

Lots of great moments. The ME1 intro was slick and becoming a Spectre felt great. But I'd have to say my "moment" was the entire Virmire mission. From the Wrex confrontation to the Soverigen reveal, to the Ash/Kaiden decision and nuke. All amazing. Seriously, to this day I know the mission is great, but I walk away from every playthrough still taken back but just how amazing it is.

Hands down the single greatest level I've ever played.

[Evilatem]

When a "shifty looking cow" takes my credit chits.

[mulder1199]

i thought the opening sequence in ME1 does a good job to draw you in....then the subsequent misson on the citadel capped with becoming a spectre gave me goosebumps....i was hooked....

[Azorgamer]

For me, it was when I gained Spectre status, got my ship and realized I could fly all over the galaxy doing the main missions or side missions - that was very cool.

[The_11thDoctor]

When I got interested in a western RPG for the first time. Still an JRPGer at heart, but Bioware is the first and only western RPG company I care about. I was hooked to the game when they released the announce trailer showing off what they had in mind for the game and the conversation system. The cementing part of that feeling was actually playing ME1 during the opening moments. It was like playing Star Trek and Star Wars with a new twist added all in one.

[EvilBeaver426]

The conversation with Sovereign. It's my favorite scene in any vidya game period.

[MacAttack]

When the game started

[Annihilator27]

When Sovereign was flying off from Eden Prime.....Or this

When I got control of the Normandy in ME1 and I was staring at the galaxy map.

I was checking out the solar systems in the cluster before hitting x and realizing there was an S-load of other clusters, full of other systems, full of other planets. Blew my mind.
