Why does saren need the conduit to get to the citadel, when in his current (before he was exposed) position he had access to anywhere on the citadel - as per spectre authority?


Now that you mention it, it kind of makes Saren look like a moron. 


Maybe it has something to do with Saren trying to prove his allegiance to Sovereign by conquering the citadel? He doesn't want to open the citadel up and get wiped out for it.

ME1 was the best game of the decade.

things that made me like mass effect 1 that weren't in the other games:

-Story- tight, with awesome reaper reveal.

-Openness- a feeling that things needed to be explored

-Gasbags- i.e. life forms that had no purpous other than to flesh out the universe

-Weapons being limited by heat rather than ammo- It was unique and forced you to think about combat differently

-The mako- it's controls were bad but games with different game play sections are rad and it fit with the universe.

-the fact that you could exit the mako- you had to worry about the environment killing you if you stayed out too long. It added so much to the realism.

-The settings- for some reason they felt more varied in ME1. In ME2 it seems like most of it was just grey metal.

In ME2 they scrapped all of this instead of working on refining it and the story of ME2 is more of an episodic continuation than a trilogy continuation.

Why doesn't saren take sovereign straight to the citadel? it clearly has the defenses, firepower and speed to take care of the entire (pre-thanix i'd like to add) citadel fleet and get into the citadel before the arms close.

see. plot holes.


Plot holes, yes. But you are after Saren, who is after information.

By killing Nihilus, Saren commited a crime that would be hard to keep quiet (hence Geth bombs to destroy all evidence). Saren had to have the data from the Prothean Beacon, in order to learn why the Citadel didn't recall the Reapers, as it was supposed to do.

Why Saren killed Nihilus, instead of using the Geth presence to enhance his own rep idk...except that Nihilus didn't expect Saren to be present, and Saren claimed the Council sent him. If Nihilus told the Council about Sarens' presence, there would be an investigation; ergo Nihilus had to die.

A better question would be why Saren needed the Beacons to translate. Didn't the Reapers (by ME3) have the Protheans data?

The only ansswer I can come up with is that the data was encrypted, stored in obscure places by a fragmented, paranoid empire.

As for taking Sovereign straight to the Citadel; Shepard asks Vigil that very question. The answer he got was that the Reapers were very conservative, risking nothing yet feared nothing. Sudden overwhelming invasion is their modus operendi, and a swift takeover of the Citadel followed by a Reaper invasion fits the model very well.

That is my interpretation anyway. That, and a dollar, will buy you a cup of coffee.

It is frustration and boredom and tiresome. Yes Overload can reduce defenses... once every ~45 seconds.


Wrong. With medical exoskeletons and good omnitools the cooldown is far shorter. And its not bad game design to need specific powers to defeat specific enemies. This is called tactics. Also possible to prevent enemies to even using immunity with biotics like lift.

I started a new ME1 playthrough last night, expecting it to be a pretty dated and clunky experience after just finished an ME3 playthrough last weak - but it's frikkin' awesome! I think my disappointment with where the trilogy went has made me appreciate this game even more than I did before.

I just love how realistic it feels (even though it's a game set in a future with aliens and giant robot spaceships!) - compared to ME2/3 it feels like there's almost no suspension of disbelief required at all. Even the visuals look more realistic IMO - they're not as polished as the later games but the palette, textures and visual style are much more in keeping with reality than the bright, glossy over-polished style of the later games.

The only thing I miss is getting to map multiple powers to buttons - ME3 finally got me used to not relying on the power wheel.

ME1 is my favourite Mass Effect game and ME3 is a very close second place.

Both ME2 and ME3 have very easy combat, only ME1 has combat where you actually have to think before fighting and is hard in the beginning.

Would love to see what the fuss is about.

yet another plea to Bioware to release ME1 on the PS3 (Call it ME1.5 to get around any hold Microsoft may have)

I can't disagree... I do love the exploration of ME. ME3 is the lazy man's rpg where most side quests are finished by scanning and talking to people

As far as I'm concerned MASS EFFECT 1 IS THE ONLY REAL MASS EFFECT GAME.

The so called Mass Effect 2 and 3 are just commercial attempts to milk it more and more...

You should go the Mass Effect subforum then. There you can cry over how the world mistreated you. Only ME3 fans post on ME3 forum.

Even though 2 and 3 are just a pair of glorified games of whack-a-mole with auto-aim spells I still enjoy the combat more.

If this is your only gripe with ME, then it appears the problem with the game is all on your end.  Also, there's a statement made in-game for why the warehouses and such are pretty much uniform.  As far as the Rachni (and other alien) underground areas are concerned, that could be easily overlook.

The inventory can be managed.  Many people have done so.  First time with the game, I was wondering why I didn't have the option to mass delete anything, but it's not an issue.

1's sidemissions had some good stories and dialog but they had repetitive gameplay and environments.  They consisted of getting dropped off in the mako driving the mako in a barren environment for a few minutes until you got to your destination which was either the same warehouse, bunker, or cave.  After the first few ones it became very repetitive and monotonous.  I preffered the gameplay in ME 2's sidequests.  If you combine 1's dialog and storytelling with 2's environments and gameplays then you have perfect sidequests.

This didn't take away from any other aspects of the game though.
