I didn't know anything about these games. Except for: Sheperd going against reapers and maybe/maybe not dies at the end. Romances involved too. Garrus and Kaidan are great ones. Garrus likes to calibrate stuff. The end. Never planed to play it at all, but since I've got the first one really cheap thought I'd try it out. Didn't like it. Started with fem!Shep. Then... I didn't like fem!Hawke but could go with m!Hawke so... why not try m!Shep. And that's what I've been doing for the last few days. (Needed to get away from the Hinterlands and the Solasmance^^)
ME1: Great! Took me a while to get into the mechanics but the story? Awesome. Not the best shot and the sections where I had to drive Meeko (yeah, that's what I chose to call it. Took me a while to get that it's actually Mako o_O In the end, Meeko stuck^^ Companions are great. Ash not there anymore, Liara romanced.
ME2: Since I plan on romancing Kaidan in three, I was looking forward to meet him again. And Liara for that matter too. Some breakup and stuff, great^^ BUT! What the.... Kaidan? We meet on Horizon and I was genuinly happy and you? "I thought you were dead, for 2 years we all thought you were dead and now you're alive and working with cerberus? Don't you remember what they did? Why didn't you call??"
Well Kaidan, let's see. I wasn't actually alive for 2 years, I was pretty much dead. Veggie status. I wake up and the first thing I get is shot at!! Look at my scars!! And when I finally got to ask about all my mates? Well, let me tell you that this one guy is telling me you're on a mission, classified and I'm not able to contact you in any way. So tell me, how could I make contact, hmm??? *Angry rant*
Next thing I know is that sweet sweet Liara is working as some sort of new Shadow Broker and is planning on overthrowing the old one, or killing him/her. Well, good. Now follow me to my ship and fly away with me. We have to save the galaxy, you know? -- Sorry Shepard, no can do!--- WHAT??? (You know what? FINE! DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO! Tali is interested in me and if you don't want to go with me, she does
There. Happy now? *Next angry rant!^^*
And now, towards the end. Story till then? Great. Missions: Awesome. Liked them all. Really.
I scanned every planet, upgraded the Normandy and my equipment to kingdom come and then??? Seriously! I go off ship for 10 minutes and everything goes to hell^^ (Reminds me of my fears in Awakening, first time playing through it I decided to save Amaranthine and I was soo worried about the keep :/ Cause upgrades and stuff^^) *Another angry rant ends*
I don't know why, but so far every BioWare game made me rant about something or other. Origins, well, Broodmother comes to mind. *shudders* Or Cousland Origin. *I cried*
DA2? Qunari attack. Burning Kirkwall with Bloodmages and abominations and demons running rampant. Or the high dragon. Rants all over the place.
DA:I, well, have they gone soft? <--- the first time I played through. King Ali and Queen Cousland
Then with Warden Ali? Right. Not gone soft at all. Good. Phew. Where would I get my angst, horror, feeling-of-betrayal, fear of losing a beloved character fix?
ME1? Sure, I have proof that it's the reapers and Saren trying to do something bad and we need to go after him! -- NOPE! Denied. Sorry. Go to your room.... uhh, ship and think about what a bad bad spectre you've been. *urge to hit something rising!!!*
I love to rant about the games I love^^ *still sorry for the wall of text here. (Now back to the suicide mission *great name btw BioWare!! Another rant is sure to come!* while DL ME3.
