*****THE OFFICIAL***** MASS EFFECT THREAD

Loving this and hating it at same time.....

Hating because I can't play COD4 lol


Finding this a cross between KOTOR and Deus ex.
 
This game is sooooooooooooo good, nothing less that what I would expect from Bioware. I'm just spending hours chatting to people- I haven't even left the Citadel yet.
 
I had my LE copy on preorder for ages so was very unhappy when it didnt turn up yesterday. I had GH3 to keep me occupied so it wasnt too bad, until I find out my gf took it from the doormat yesterday, opened it and put it somehwere I would never guess it would be... so when I found it this morning, I was not best please.
 
woop her butt into place parrot! Havent been back to the uni house to play it but im guessing i should be there now from the comments here. But have to get uni work done :(
 
Hello good morning people lols. I have work in an hour with the lovely Saturday shoppers in a wooly high street store. I had no sleep because of this bleddin game. Damn, all I want to do is play it.

Playing through as the default John Sheppard, seemed cool enough and wanted to play at least once through as the guy on the box cover :p

Only problem I have with it is some of the Mako missions where you are drving about are quite annoying and not very fun, other that that it's excellent.

But I'm a little surprised by these reports of "OMG AMAZING GRAPHICS".

Yeah I pretty much agree with you on the graphics score. It in no way hinders my enjoyment of the game but there hardly amazing more functional, they get the job done.

So far a brilliant game, I was a little bit disappointed with with character creation screen. Theres hardly any hair styles.. I want a long haired emo dammit! lol
 
Hey Fubar, I'd edit out that sweary if I were you :p

As for this game, I think it's going to be one of those saturdays, where you get nothing accomplished in the real world. :D
 
Oh dear. I just loaded up mass effect and my savegame - atm John Shepard is walking on top of clouds. It looks like my savegame has b0rked :/
 
One tip for people just starting - save it really often, the games auto save placements are shocking and there's been a few times I've had to redo a segment that I spent like 30 minutes on because I got my *** handed to me in about 0.001 seconds after entering combat.
 
Need some help. Am trying to get into a crashed pod but it says my tec to low. Is there any way to controll group members to open it? or do i auto get their skill
 
Well its arrived, LE tin slightly dented.... good old royal mail :( just made my character and chose solider and ruthless. Going to enjoy being the tough nut for first playthrough.

Might be spoiler-ish, so I'll hide the text. There is a spoiler thread though, link is in the main post of this thread. Highlight to see:

It works via your team. When you look at their stats when selecting a team to go out with from the group, the ones that have decryption skills and electronics skills will be the tech people. It doesn't count on your skills, because the main has no biotic skill or tech skills, it's purely from the other members in your team. If you go to the Squad window, you can check their points in the "Decryption" and "Electronics" skills... if it's saying it's too low then you need to invest in those more when you level to open it.
 
Great game, the only downside is the time spent on it.
I started to play it at about 21-00 last night and when I looked at the clock again it was 04-00 :eek::D
 
Just exploring a few planets in the Mako. Came across a big long thing that I'd rather not see again :eek:

Mine did that too sort of. Loaded up, was standing right next to the map so I viewed it then when I came out of it I was stuck in the railing :(

That big long thing is pretty nasty yeah :p
