Mass Effect 1 is still my favourite sci-fi game of all time (infosec.pub)

This game made me feel like the captain of a space ship. There was nothing like it at the time it was released, and even now I have not experienced any other game making me feel this way. I loved Fallout 3 too, but Mass Effect had something special. It was so well crafted, I listened to every dialogue of every NPC. The characters are so memorable with amazing voice acting. The Citadel is the best city in video games, felt really alive. Most sidequests add to the story instead of just padding the gameplay time.

After playing the game, I wondered how Star Wars (movies) sucked so badly, when a video game could create a much more interesting sci-fi world and story.

Unfortunately Bioware is no longer the same company.

I picked up the legendary edition trilogy and loved it.

My advise. Take your time. And don't worry about your choices. They don't matter. Just do what you feel is right and it will all work out.

Except for one thing. Whatever Jacob says. Do the opposite. His advise is always, at best, redundant, and at worst, catastrophic.
