The Mass Effect 2 Après Jeu Game Discussion Thread (with spoilers!!!)
Alex C:
Yeah, and see, I don't think I've cared about saving the world or even really space opera since I was 9. Beyond that, we still have practically every other developer on the planet making crazy space opera plots and saving the world anyway. Given that their primary strength is writing I rather feel like Bioware should stick with the direction they're slowly heading in. To do otherwise would be kind of a waste.
Besides, Mass Effect 2's plotline wasn't exactly low key anyway. By design it didn't have the pacing of a tight action movie, but I honestly have to wonder just how "epic" (christ, I hate that word) the game would have had to of been for some people to be happy with it.
David_Dovey:
Ironically I did treat the main quest in ME1 like it was urgent serious business and the whole game's experience wound being far less rewarding than it probably otherwise would've been.
Actually, all of my problems with my ME1 experience pretty much stem from trying to roleplay too much, hurf. Instead of just picking the conversation options that'd score me the best stats I tried to be genuine and in the end a lot of important choices were taken out of my hands later in the game and I just generally felt very railroaded regarding some pretty important choices, particularly in the whole Wrex thing.

On a related note, I picked up the Mass Effect books the other day because, well, Mass Effect, and dear god the first of the series is so awful, it's hard to believe it was written by the same guy who wrote a good portion of the games.
Though I suppose writing a book and writing for a video game are two completely different beasts
Dimmukane:
Because of this thread, I decided to start playing it again last night. I probably shouldn't have, I have homework to do.

Don't feel bad, I once had a craving for Baldur's Gate 2 that was so strong I sat down and read a trilogy of his Drizz't novels. It was exactly like this.
