@holger1405 A lot of those playthroughs are levelling up runs. Since the story adds paragon/renegade skill points at certain times on its own, I do multiple playthroughs to level my different Shepards up, while putting my experience towards other skills (Those first runs can be rather awkward with no paragon/renegade points 😃 ) Then I notice something off about their face that starts bothering me, and have to start again. I've only ever got my 'main' Shepard through to ME2, and it took a few attempts to get her there 😳 Think 20+ of those will be slower playthroughs though, where I've taken my time, gently strolled around the hubs, done every side mission and so on, I never get tired of this game.
And no, you couldn't pay me to touch ME3. I really hate the direction the franchise took around ME2. Enjoy the gameplay and there's plenty of good moments, but there's a lot of things that I fell in love with in the first game that got either ignored or ruined, and my main Shepard often sounds really out of character 😞 The third game felt totally detatched from the series for me. I did watch a Youtube playthrough, and all it did was upset me. Felt like Bioware went through a list of things I didn't want to see in it, and made a game out of it 😢 So kinda run off doing my own thing with Mass Effect now, plotting out my own version of the Reaper invasion and rewriting ME2 a little so my Shep is in character. Will hopefully actually get it all written down properly someday, recent years haven't been kind for my writing, so it's currently just a collection of notes.
(Whoops, sorry for the word wall, I'm terribly prone to them when I get going 😳 )
@edersam2k Thanks for letting us know. There's people having the same issue with Sims 3 on Origin, so this may be on EA's end, and I think it's being investigated now. Their problems might be linked to ours, as Mass Effect and Sims 3 have similar authorization methods. Have you done any checks to double check that the issue isn't on your end? Made sure your firewall isn't blocking Mass Effect or Origin?
