Mass Effect 1 & 2
I finished playing Mass Effect 2 last night. Personally I like Mass Effect more because there seemed to me more to do and the difficulty was streamlined. Mass Effect was extremely easy in places and surprisingly difficult in others. The final boss fight went off without a hitch and it just seemed too easy on normal difficulty. Mass Effect 2 was a lot of fun though despite the quirks and glitches I experienced. I spent more time playing it than I did ME but I still prefer ME.
I ended up staying true to Ashley, I made it out of the suicide mission alive, and I blew up the collector’s ship. It just seemed wrong to leave it intact for Cerberus to use. I have all of the achievements except the insanity difficult, tactician, and a few of the power related ones like warp and incinerate. My team mates made it out alive too! Except… Mordin Solus. I was really saddened and shock to see his dead body while we escaped the collector’s base. I have no idea why he died but he did. I think it has to due with something he said or the way I replied.
I ended up re-playing the portion and dialect options right before the Omega-4 relay because I made a poor choice in judgment and wanted to fix my mistake. The first time I talked to Mordin he advised me about doing “things” and he sang. The second time he talked about his nephew and made sure I didn’t have romantic feelings for him. I’m guessing he died because of something that occurred in the second conversation. Unless it had to do with my team selections for the final mission, but everyone else made it out alive… I thought Samara was a goner but out of nowhere they showed Mordin dead while we escaped.
I have no idea but I’m going to replay ME with a new Shepard and import that character into ME2 to replay it again. I planned on being a renegade the second time around but think that option might lead to more team member’s deaths…
All in all I’ve had an awesome fifty some hours playing ME and ME2 until the wee hours of the morning. I can’t wait to play them again and play ME3 whenever it is released.
