RPG Progress Report

Garrus. #1 Space Bro.

Also Wrex and Tali that you mentioned getting.

Unlike Dragon Age, you actually wind up keeping/reuniting many of the same crewmembers across the trilogy, so they're fairly memorable by the end.

Once you have the Normandy, then yeah, you get the standard Bioware list of places to visit in whatever order you want. The first game also has a lot of basically random planets to visit with copy/pasted bases and such. If you dig 'em, that's cool, but just as a heads up, there's no real need to be a completionist. The second game replaces them with scanning for resources from orbit I only mention it because I've had friends stall out on the first game trying to do them all.

Wrex and Tali - right! Thank you.

One thing you should never worry about is me being a completionist. Even in something like Skyrim that I adore I'm not concerned w/ completing all quests or whatever, just enjoy exploring at my own pace and stumbling upon whatever I happen to stumble upon. Something like ME that I'm... kinda, sort enjoying maybe, I'm more prone to just hit the required quests in an effort to make it to the end credits before losing interest.

The second and third game have more reason to spend a little time doing side quests and the like, as they can impact how things go in the final missions. So if you do get to those, then you'll want to do more than the bare essentials.

I loooooove Tali. She was my waifu in every playthrough of 2 and 3 except one (definitely boned Miranda in one playthrough of 2).

well, I've had a weird history with the ME series. I tried playing the first game in 2015 and quit after a few hours. I then tried the second last year and quit after four hours. Now I'm trying the first one again. I think this will finally determine if I like the series or not haha.

Is Wrex the space cop? I forget, it has been a long time.

Either way, I was an Uber Evil soldier lady with the toughest hosses I could bring so we could pump bullets into everything else in the damn universe. Space bullets. Everybody had guns. Everybody used guns. Anything else is for weaklings that deserve to be filled with more space bullets.

Garrus is space cop, Wrex is a Krogan.

[Ack]

Eh, either way, they don't need names so long as they shoot people in the face.

Garrus and Tali were my S rank gold team throughout the whole trilogy. Loved them.

Also Soldier is boring. Glad I made the switch to Sentinel in 2-3.

ME1 is a very short game and the side planets are really pointless copy/paste material after awhile. You can honestly probably beat this in 15 hours or so. I remember clocking in about 30 for the ambiguously weird "completionist" achievement back on the 360 (it was really weird how it determined that). But I can't see myself bothering with those side planets ever again in a replay.

Same here, man.
