The premise of being out there searching for Saren still holds true In ME1. That "race" still entails your search and thus the exploration of unchartered worlds in hope of locating or failing that finding clues to aid your search for Saren.
Searching random worlds over the entire galaxy in the hope that Saren might have landed on one of them?
Not sure if serious....
(I'd put the pic in but I've already seen it three times today)
Alan, it is a flawed premise given that it is a game "urgency" issue. Bioware could have placed a timer, a countdown clock to force the player to "move along" but then, that would restrict exploration now wouldn't it?
However for gameplay sake, the suspension of urgency here was excercised.
As with the suspension of disbelief in regards to what Ezo is and Mass Effect powers, you are given at least a reason to excercise that suspension.
I am just saying that shopping to pad an apartment is so out of Character for Shepard in the face of a Reaper invasion. Do you disagree?
Besides, I am not bothered by it.
More like amused.
It is like someone in marketing saw all the love for Sims3 / Hearthfire / housing in games and suggested this little nugget as a "cool feature" without thinking it through or asking themselves, "Is this something Shepard would do given the circumstances?"
