![]() I’ll tolerate ME2, though, and all the ridiculous, nonsensical, boneheaded stuff it repeatedly insists I and my squadmates take time out from exploring the galaxy to do, but only for the sake of all the squadmate recruitment and loyalty quests, which are brilliant and let me get to know a whole bunch of fascinating characters, and maybe the rest of the sidequests. (Earth never shows up in ME2, but it’s ultimately all about human colonies, which also happen to be easily the most boring locations in the whole game). Definitely after the end of ME1 and before the start of ME3. Some time during ME2 or perhaps slightly after the first time I finished it, in other words. The series died for me when I realised that it HAD changed to be all about the Earth and humans and small in scope. This fountain of perpetual nerdrage smells like a business opportunity to me. Having recently played Unrest, I want you to realize I’m completely serious when I say this: I’d love to see someone throw a couple of million dollars at doing something along the lines of Mass Effect 1, and I want them to put Adam Decamp on the writing staff. Or maybe you’re livid, because you’re incredibly invested in this story and this particular flavor of sci-fi space opera is so rare that there literally isn’t a single modern AAA alternative. And if I skipped the first two games then I might have been just fine until the Starchild.Īnd when the story collapses, how bad does that hurt? Maybe you’re just annoyed that you played a videogame with a kinda dumb story. And if I hadn’t played ME1 at all then I might have accepted the whole game. If it had been years between games, then it might have taken me longer to notice. I re-played ME1 right before ME2, so for me the tonal clash was really abrupt.
