I havent mapped anything yet, I just use the wheel.

I'll check it out.

I see what you guys meant about the Death Screen after you die. Ha. Kind of.........interesting.....for lack of a better word.

I'm kind of glad I died my first time though. I started back up at the place with the first Decryption Mini Game thing and I messed it up the first time b/c I didn't know what was going on or what to do. I didn't notice the buttons light up. SO I got it the second time and talked with the Doctor and her assistant.

I remember a clip that showed Sheppard actually punching the guy to shut him up. I'm taking the high road though. I'll take the low road my second time around.

"TIME TO SHUT HIM UP!"

Hahaha.

Anata wa wakarimasu ka.....

I didnt know you could hit him, I was scared hitting that reaction would make me shoot him. 😂

Nah..."X" is to pull out your weapon..........................unless if you press it again after your weapon is already out it then works as the mapped button.

Actually, if I think about it. You hit X to map the power and then you hit the power button quickly instead of pressing it down. That is how you use the powers.

I rarely use any of my powers due to my kickass shotgun dude.

In some ways I feel like I'm limiting myself by taking the High Road on everything. My guys is gonna be too nice 😛

HAHA, i had the same problem. My first several attempts were failures because i was looking at the screen above the letters. 🙁 I felt like a dummy once i realized how easy it was. I think i was expecting something complex

Yeah, I think everybody was doing that.

I had such a hard time doing the timing.

Now, its annoying if I miss. I do like how they give you some EXP points for doing the minigame. It gives you some benefit for doing it, not including the stuff.

Wow, I liked the story but now I ****ing love it.

Couldnt stop playing but I had to. Sleeping is required.

What part made the change? lol

I just reached level 60!313

I was at 37 when I beat the game, and I didnt use the same character my second time. When I beat it again, I might keep my this character and play through with him.

It's when

Spoiler:
you meet Saren for the first time and you kill off either Kaiden or Ashley, then go into the citadel and basically get backstabbed by your own human ambassador

It was awesome. Too bad I had to go to bed.

Yeah, that is pretty badass. I like how

Spoiler:
you have to pick one at the beginning of the attack, and you expect them to die, but then you get to choose again before Saren shows up.

Exactly.

That last hour (in actually gametime and if you dont do all the sidequest near the end) is some of the best parts of the game, maybe even the best parts in any game.

I find that most games are amazing in the first 5 hours, but isnt that amazing near the end. Bioshock was bad for that. Mass Effect ends with a bang though and I cant wait for the sequel, which hopefully is coming out next year. Hopefully they go with...
a. start right after the end of the first
b. start 100 years afterwords, similiar to the second KOTAR
c. start 50,000 years later because of

Spoiler:
of the reaper cycle and how every 50,000 years they attack everybody

Either will do well.

That aside, I really enjoyed this game. Mass Effect was a game that I had to play, no matter what else game I had. I couldnt stop playing it. Bioshock was also very similiar to that.

But because I'm a negative person, I have a few nitpicks.

a. fix the bugs
b. make sidequests better. I really enjoyed the sidequest but near the end, I wasnt really making the effort to find anything. KOTOR and its sequel mixed it up with interesting ones. I remember one on where you had defend an criminal in a crime case, or find out who killed somebody. Somethink like that in Mass Effect would of been great. I think they stayed way too much with planets and didnt have enough variety with them.

Overall, amazing game. I had soo much fun with it. Cant wait for the sequel.

I assume you mean KotOR, and just so you know, the sequel took place five years after the first one.

I know.

I just meant that it wasnt right after the ending of the first game.

You misunderstood me. That's why I said similiar.

Id like to see them pick up right after this game, but only if you can take your character and crew into the next one, but I cant see them doing that because there are so many options for how you can end the game, and how many options they would have to give each of those for the next game.

Yeah bringing along main characters would be great (haven't even started this game yet tho), loved that part of Golden Sun 2.

When is the novel going to be released?

True.

If they can do it, it would be cool.

I wouldnt mind the 50,000 option and when your visiting planets, or story based planets, you find out that your last character was savoir of mankind.

It would be pretty nifty.
