Mass Effect

I love the Mass Effect series and I'm really excited to see how the story ends.  Anyway, I have one quick thing I want to say about the games up till now - for me, having to choose between two characters (Ashley and Kaiden) in Mass Effect 1 was one of the highlights in the series.  My game is forever altered because of that one choice.  In Mass Effect 2, knowing that there was an achievement for "saving everybody" just pushed me to make sure I got that even though I think it took 2 or 3 tries to properly do it.  And there's no question that will be the save I carry through to ME3.  Overall, I think the game suffers for that.  If Mass Effect is defined by great characters and these sort of 'good' or 'bad' decisions, then there's no better way to show this off then by giving you these types of Sophie's choice style situations.







For Mass Effect 3, I am really hoping for some more of these game altering and grey area decisions.  Imagine  having to choose between Mordan or Wrex.  Or worse, picking 3 or 4 characters to go on a real suicide mission.  I think there's some opportunity there to create some unforgettable moments and really send the series out on a powerful note.
