-Getting to turn my Shepard from "just another" customizable video game character, into a real, dynamic person with thoughts, feelings, and beliefs.
-Seeing Tali grow up and mature, Liara adapt and develop as a person, and Garrus become a legend and find himself at the same time.
-The best romances I have seen in any video games thus far.
-A riveting story.  The most original?  No, but told so well that I was always on the edge of my seat, unable to turn off my console because I desperately wanted to know what happened next.
-A universe so large, expansive, and endearing, that I wished it was real - that is, until Bioware destroyed the entire thing in 10 minutes.

Not so much the game, but sitting around with my friends watching one of their playthroughs. Seeing the games through new eyes and seeing just how much each of us missed out on when a different person is making the calls.

My first Suicide Mission, with some kind of dumb luck I managed to get out with everyone alive without searching it on the Internet.

That week a couple of years ago during my summer holidays I spent playing ME2 from midnight till the sun came out. God, that was one glorious week. A friend came over when I got to the ending sequence, and he was hooked. After he finished both games we would spend many, many hours talking about the series before falling asleep whenever he came over. He also told me to play LotSB, which initially I didn't really care about, and I remembered why I loved the game so much.

Now all we talk about is how little sense the endings made. Don't get me wrong, the memories are still golden, but... well, you know.

Playing in Collector Armor during ME2 and ME3. I was the Rouge Collector, free of indoctrination and gunning down the Reapers.

Having Javik as a squadmate was even better. I was a husk prothean- fighting the reapers. With a prothean.

Awesome. Absolutely awesome.

Harby's laser at the end of ME3 unhuskified me AND Turned me human.  Talk about your space magic.

LOL!!! So, now I'm curious. How did your Shep justify a human form while running about on the Normandy?

Mass Effect 1 side-quest where you get trapped underground and have to disarm a nuke in a trap set by a Batarian terrorist. Garrus says, "Now what?"

FemShep perfectly replies (renegade option): "We find a way out. Somebody up there needs my boot up his a**."

I love Shepherd's snark. Today at work I kept thinking about how Shep really is cannonically a bit of a jerk and giggling. I'd worry about my coworkers thinking I'm crazy, but it's far too late for that.

I hope I can still have this someday.

ME1, the Sovereign conversation on Virmire. The voice, the pitch and what he said sent cold-chills through me.

ME2, the suicide mission. The different decisions Shepard had to make coupled with the music had me on the edge of my chair all the way through.

ME3, Mordin's death scene. Wow, just WOW! His singing had me smiling one moment and then the explosion had me crying man tears the next moment. Going from one extreme emotion to other extreme all in a split-second totally drained me.

I uh... I was introduced to Mass Effect1 by the man who would become my husband, we kinda bond over Mass Effect... sounds weird huh? I loved the scope of it, it indulged my Trek tendencies, While the Hubs and I talk about and play many games together Mass Effect is king.. its hard for me in game to pick just one pleasant memory... I did love meeting Wrex, and teaming up with Garrus in Dr. Michel's office... and talking to Ash about religion... I was happy that someone had the balls to make someone religious and not make it a joke or make them come off as preachy... I loved the choice of either keeping that man on the ship hooked up to machines a vegetable, or mercy kill him.... it took guts Bioware... a big freakin Quad... I loved Talking to Tali about her culture, Quarian politics, I was looking forward after it was mentioned by the Asari who's daughters were killed at the Citadel to hearing Quarian music, I loved flirting with Garrus, Jacob's loyalty mission because it reminded me of Tennyson's poem The Lotos eaters (yes I know it was about the Odyssey) I loved Jack's intensity and Meranda's strength... the list goes on and on...

That's awesome.  I really wish I could meet a girl I could bond over Mass Effect with!  

[IntoTheDarkness]

Sovereign and Harbinger.

[Aaleel]

Virmire in its entirety. THe conversation with Sovereign, the hold the line speech. I know it was sad as well, but when I finished that mission I said out loud that is the best mission I have ever played through. Still is.

Liara's time capsule.

Becoming a Spectre.

It'll happen I recall a dude saying he and his wife play and ME was her favorite.

This may be awkwardly personal, but ME1 helped me come out. My femshep having to choose between Kaidan and Liara was like this giant announcement to myself: do I choose the guy in case my brother sees me playing, or am I gonna be honest here? Choosing Liara was a big step in my eventual acceptance of *me*.
That's part of the reason I'm so pissed that in the end, there's no way to get back to Liara. Five years later and I'm a grown-up now, but I always expected this love story to end happily, with *hope* for a future. :/

Landing on Eletania in ME1 and looking up at the sky. If there is a planet I'd love to live on, its that. It was just beautiful.
That and so many other skyboxes in ME1 - especially with an FXAA injector altering bloom and saturation to make them look even better.

[BioJaegar]

Ardensia, Resistance Shep was "human" on the Normandy through extensive Omnitool holo-processing. He didnt want to scare the yeoman, so He adopted a disguise.

Needless to say, it was an awkward moment when he saved her from the Collector Base... And she saw him in his true form.

 That is the sweetest story i've heard since two year old running around screaming "I AM KWOGAN".

I literally consider 95% of the trilogy as a pleasant memory, and this isn't sarcasm.

My only real issues with the series are mostly found during the last missions of ME3, starting at and following the Cerberus base up until the very end, within those short-lasting moments there's about 90% of the complaints I could make about the trilogy. The rest of the 10% of my issues with the series are scattered across ME1 and ME2, and by now since ME3's release those issues became negligible at best.

When I first learned what the Reapers really were while on Virmire.

[Skyblade012]

Getting to laugh and gloat and say "I told you so" when Javik revealed that the Protheans were a race of imperialist pricks, exactly as I had predicted a year before in THIS thread, when everyone told me I was wrong.

[humansrsuperior]

Oh my gosh, so much.

- The music (all games)
_ Being able to fully create your Shepard the way you want (within reasonable limits), both in appearance, abilities, and who he/she is as a person.
- Having such dynamic conversations with everyone you talk to.
- Best romances, ever.
- The Virmire decision (I seriously remember putting my controller down and being like "Crapcrapcrap!!" I would be the worst commander irl lol)
- Meeting Sovereign on Virmire (all the chills!)
- Finding out the Conduit was a backdoor to the Citadel
- Getting Saren to turn against his indoctrination
- climbing up the outside of the presidium to get to Sovereign


- Renegade or paragon interrupts! Best. thing. ever.
- The Normandy being blown to bits.  Shepard dying! (I know we all knew that before the game even came out but still, it was pretty amazing)
- Horizon being creepy as hell
- Actually boarding a dead reaper *chills*
- Omg the seemingly abandoned collector ship that was actually a trap (the whole thing was SO creepy and SO amazing)
- Finding out the Collectors were Protheans (OMG WUT.  WUT.  WHAAAAAAAAAAT.)
- The entire suicide mission.  Just.  guh.  perfection.  I loved asigning tasks to each individual party member and the strategy involved.
-  HUMAN REAPER OMG (sooooooooo bone chilling and creepy and the best way to reveal what was going on)
- Finding out Harbinger was a reaper.
- Arrival


- Curing the Genophage
- Dodging the reaper blasts on Tuchanka
- Thresher maw vs reaper
- Mordin's death (no I didn't want him to die, I love Mordin so much, but his death was *perfect*)
- Fighting a reaper on Rannoch
- Harbinger's cameo at the beam (yes, I did really love it.  It was epic imo.  I wanted more of Harby, so much more, but that doesn't make that moment any less epic for me.)

Its stories like this that make me hope and wish that Bioware would read this thread... They need to see what the game means to people.   I agree with the one who mentioned the "I'm a Kwogon!" 

[Whiskey Jay]

The opening sequence to Mass Effect sucked me in immediately. With Udina and Anderson talking about Shepard.  I had no clue what I was in for. 99.9% of this series was brilliant. I need a hug.

How did you feel about the female human soldier with an Asari soldier wife and a daughter who can't ship her daughter to her own family because of you know {maybe their homophobes or maybe they're just Xeno Racists or both}

IMO, awesome way to flesh out the universe. The inclusion of little details like that just puts Bioware on a higher standard for me than other companies who don't strive to make their universes inclusive, which is probably why I expected more from them when it came down to the quality of the ending.

But yeah, those details are why I don't think I'll ever be able to walk away from Bioware's games completely (and I might not be holding the line very well right now, but I'll be honest). I want to play DA3 because I know they'll be *well-written* romance options for me, on top of the obvious things that make the series worthwhile RPGs (IMO).

But yeah, things like that, and the quiet inclusion of Cortez and Traynor's sexualities as non-issues (unless you were playing as maleshep and totally didn't pick up the signs that Traynor was *not interested* ) were awesome little details that make the series feel whole for someone like me. It's so vindicating and refreshing to be acknowledged like that, as a minority.
