Hey guys

I got a free copy of Mass Effect 1 from gamestation (long story). Anyway it arrived today, just a bog standard edition with 2 dvds. So I install the first disc which goes perfect, after first disc is installed you can play the game.

Hmmmm so what is dvd 2? Why did that not install. With First disc installed I can play the game without and discs in the drive. But what is that disc 2 for.
 
I think the second disk just contains additional languages, so if you've installed the English version you won't need it.

Hey guys

Thanks for the help. You are spot on andshrew + sweey I went into the data folder and it had some different language rar's. What a waste of a dvd lol

Cheers

I end up saying this in every mass effect thread, but if you are playing ME do not forget to downlaod the free dlc which is not even mentioned anywhere. It is called Bring Down The Sky and instructions for downloading it are here-

Thanks ever so much, I would not have know about that otherwise. The download works fine but you cant get the cdkey in the exact same way anymore, it has been removed, you need to contact EA live chat. He told me the keys were all the same now so I can share what I was given, if he was wrong who cares. Only a dlc key

Ashok: Is there anything else I may assist you with?
2391396889: IS there anymore free dlc for mass effect 1?
Ashok: No.
2391396889: Ok, thanks for your time. Thanks for the link and the cdkey. Cheers
2391396889: have a good day

Please note cdkey is only for the free dlc pack :) In fact he never even asked for my game cdkey just gave me the details right away.

Thanks again Pighardia

Now you can settle down and enjoy it :D

I've played it three times already (two different characters to the end of the ME2, one lost character after a hard drive crash) and I'll definitely play it at least once more, probably after finishing ME3 with both of my existing characters.
