Folks,

I'm near the end of the impressive Dragon Age: Origins
and have now been lured in by the marketing for ME2.  I did not play
ME1 but wondered if anyone has any idea if someone who hasn't played
ME1 can go right into ME2?

The graphics in ME2 appear to be so
much more vivid, expected since ME1 was roughly 2-1/2 years ago.  Would
you expect ME2 to kind of "hone in" on ME virgins like myself without
having played the first?

Thanks.

Apparently, You can indeed go right into ME2 with having played through ME1. Your character's story will be set up through a SMALL series of questions in the beginning of the game and there will be a bit of a recap on the story of ME1.

Having said that, However, I reckon it's in your best interests to fork out the few bucks for ME1 and play through, At the very least, The main story. It'll give you a much greater understanding of what's really going on in ME2 and how everything is interconnected.

It is a trilogy, After all....You wouldn't go and start reading/watching "The Two Towers" without having first watched/Read "The Fellowship of the Ring" would you?

While they have made some massive improvments on ME2 over ME1, ME1 is still a great game. While i loved Dragon Age i still find the story, setting and graphics much better in ME1.

But overall, if you loved Dragon age, and like sci-fi settings then you will enjoy ME1.

But while it aint no absolute requierment to play ME1 first before ME2 as ME2 will recap the story from ME1 for you. it will greatly inrich your experience if you do and import a char from ME1.

Yes, you CAN start with ME2, however, I would suggest playing ME1 so that you really have a feeling for the universe and characters that are in ME1. It's a fantastic game, one that shouldn't be overlooked...and I can bet you'll eventually play it, so why not play them in order?

[VettoRyouzou]

If you want a bigger hand in controlling on how ME2 start and how you are treated and how your own story goes it very widely recommended playing.

[nteger]

Play it now!!!

Mass Effect is a pretty good game. It has its flaws, but succeeds despite them. And very easy to recommend to just about anyone since its a combination of 2 very distinct genres in a way that should satisfy fans of both.

[Klimy]

you can play ME2 without playing ME1.



But my guess is that after playing ME2 it will be a bit boring to play ME1 (in my opinion) because you would know many spoilers. And many things will not be like: "Oh wow, what/who is that!". Plus ME1 have ok graphics for these days, but it will be hard to watch things you just saw in ME2 going back in time.



AND!! Most important ME2 can be based on your savegame of ME1. But if you played ME2 than you will just have to re-play it after ME1 once more. If you can do it, than perfect, otherwise you might just miss a big awsomeness of all times.



So I would say go and play ME1 before ME2 gets out, you still have time for it.

IMO it's not worth playing ME2 if you don't import a save from ME1

ME1 is an amazing game even thought it is 2-1/2 years old. The graphics arnt as sharp but that doesnt matter. The story and the game are fantastic. The fact that you can carry over your ME1 shep to ME2 makes it more worth wild to play.

[Trajan60]

I'm going through ME1 right now. I just downloaded it off Steam. Loving it so far. I hope I can finish it by Tuesday.

So you're suggesting anyone playing ME2 without having played the original (or maybe just lacks a savegame because they've lost it or originally played it on the other platform) is likely to be sorely disappointed with ME2?
Somehow I doubt that's going to be the case .

If you like Bioware you should like Mass Effect 1 so go out and play it. You will get more into the game that way.

[NICKjnp]

Yes! But start now because it will take 20 to 30 hours to complete.

[Lucas-Shepard]

As others have said, you can indeed play ME2 without playing ME1. You can also go take a dump in your neighbours mailbox, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea.



I guess what I'm trying to say is: Buy ME1 asap and play through. It's epic, you'll thank me for it.

[hawat333]

To make the long story shot:



Yes, you should.

[VA1N]

Yeah, I'd almost say you have to play part 1 to get the full enjoyment out of part 2. You still have a few days, go buy part 1 for 20 bucks and blow through it over the weekend. It's a great game and has help up quite well. I'm going through my fifth and final playthrough this weekend to get ready for Tuesday.

And that quote is false.  If you played the game and know the story, then you are ok.  In the beginning of the game, if you don't import a save file, you are asked a series of questions regarding how you played the first game.  For instance, if you killed Wrex, you would tell them you did.  If you import a save file, they ask you these same questions, but if you don't answer correctly, they will tell you and make you answer it again.

ME1 is a great game, and you'll enjoy it. It'll make ME2 even better, but if you play ME1 after ME2 a lot of things will be spoiled for you.



Play it first.

No, but the story will confuse them and I never play sequels without playing the previous parts

And it's much more fun if the choices you made actually make some difference

We don't know how much the game asks you, but I'm certain it doesn't ask you about any sidequests you did and those choices won't matter

And that quote can't be false because that's just my opinion (it says IMO)

I'm with Caine so far on this one. The little bonuses should be nice for imported characters of certain levels, plus actually experiencing the decisions made is far more entertaining than simply making them with a new character in ME2.

ME1 is very good and probably cheap now, so you might as well.

[GrouchoMarxist]

ME2 experience probably build much more upon your playing of the first game. It's a direct sequel, and it's complementary both in gameplay and plot. Playing ME2 without having played the first is sure to be a shame.

[Vertanius]

I very much suggest that you play Mass effect 1, of course you can just go with 2 but knowing what the hell is going on personally and why this guy is so happy to see you gives you much more satisfaction.

[Xeyska]

You have four more days left until the game comes out, plenty enough time to finish as least one save game if one is not busy. :3



You don't have to play ME1 to get into ME2, but it is recommended since it adds to the experience.
