When Mass Effect first came out, I never had the funds for it, and as a result, I've missed all parts of the trilogy until recenty, I bought all 3 at once, where I "quickly" (over 170 hours game time) fired through them all within a short space of time. I say this so you'd appreciate that I got all of the information contained in 5 years worth of gaming, crammed into little over a week.
My issue/query/confusion is in the relationships that I formed in my Mass Effect playthrough, more specifically the intensity of them. Having known little of the series, I jumped into the first game, and from a little after their first encounter, I took an interest to Tali. I went through the first game without getting into a relationship (I accidently started a little with Ashley - she took what I said the wrong way). Into the second game, I met Tali, and started a relationship when I could, and in hindsight, I never socialised with her as much as I should have, as I put the mission too far ahead of everything at time. Into the third game, my heart genuinely skipped a beat finding Tali again - you know that fuzzy feeling you get, and I made a point of not repeating myself, and so I visited often. Come the end of the third game, I got teary-eyed at their final goobye, it still sets me off ("I have a home." ... D': ), while at the very end, I was crestfallen. I never knew what to do with myself, and outside of the game, IN REAL LIFE for crying out loud, I felt genuinely depressed! My Shepard lived, and with the information from the extended cut, I was able to piece together an ending that I was happy with, and I got the happy ending I always imagined, even if it will always just be kept in my mind.
Now that you know my very general experience, it's worth mentioning I am heavily interested in role-playing, and every action I took wasn't just advancing in a game, but a personal decision. As such, I involved myself, got immersed into the story more than I thought I could, and I found myself caring about Tali, caring about her future with Shepard, loving her little quirks, wanting to build a home together, feeling a little jealousy when Garrus gets a little too close to her. Come the end of the game, as much as I can form an ending of my own, I actually miss her as I would if she were real. And so that leads to my question: WHY am I feeling this way? I'm feeling these same real emotions as I would in reality - FOR A SET OF PIXELS! At the end of the day, it's just a game, how could that evoke such a response? I won't lie, it's a little unsettling, and I'm not even sure if I should feel like I'm a weirdo. Perhaps an overload of emotions, cramming everything in just over a week? Perhaps an active imagination? I don't know!
