You've never played either of the ME games, have you?



That's because your reading comprehension seems to be a bit low. Mediocre does not equal bad. The game had good parts it had bad parts and it had mediocre parts, yet some people praise it like it was pure genius. We're just trying to point out that that is clearly not the case.



Again, you seem like you have some problems with reading. There isn't any hate going around at all. People are just looking at the game critically. It has nothing to do with it not being TES. If you read the threads around here you'll see that this forum's users seem to have as much of an interest in shooters as they do RPGs, if not more.

So you instantly jump into pointless attacks and stupidity...but yeah, there's no unjustified hate towards the game in this topic. Did you read some of the first posts?

I've read many many threads here, not many people even mention shooters. In fact, I'm one of the few that I've ever seen do it.

And I remember why I fell in love with the game. I never felt so involved in a video game than Mass Effect 2. It was the most captivating video game experience I had ever played. The presentation, visuals, voice acting, and drama kept me wanting to play it more and more. I'm afraid that in Skyrim I will not be as in touch with my character as I was in ME2.

yea, see alot of Fanboyism here and i can tell people are just defending TES blindly and who i dont even think played the mass effect

Shepard is easier to relate to because you can read/see his emotions and how he feels and acts, also he has a voice while the Dragonborn can only grunt and yell and can only listen to replies from the box options. Also in ME Shepherd is sort of the center of the universe, he is a

Umm no. Bioware is telling a great story with Mass Effect and it is a great ACTION game. They are now backtracking against outstanding complaints from customers and are scrambling to add some measure of gameplay depth. Bioware is not Black Isle and so they will fail at making RPG's until they change leadership. That being said they will not be able to hold a candle to the worst BGS title in terms of gameplay depth.

A little off-topic... BG was one of my favorite games growing up, but I liked Mass Effect much more than I did Dragon Age. I felt like Mass Effect had a much better balanced drama and humor, more memorable party members, and just felt like it better captured the feeling of adventure. I never finished Dragon Age because I just didn't really care how the game ended, or what happened to the characters.
