Re: Is there a 'right' way?

Players seem to remember the trilogy with rose colored glasses.

Pick any of the three Mass Effect games. Do you know what made it great?

The other two.

I played Mass Effect 3 first and didn't think it was anything special.

None of my choices mattered at all in the big picture.

It was only after I backed up and played the first two that it started making sense.

But each game...on it's own...was not great.

I've played all three in the past few weeks. I am a huge fan.

None of them are great alone.

Let's see where this game goes.

    The problem is, they don't intend to make this a trilogy. So if Sara, Scott and their companions aren't good in this game, alone they never will be.

    The only stuff that will cary over is like Kett, remnant and angara.

    While I adore the big picture a big part of the mass effect games for me was carrying on with the same protagonist and crew members, meeting other new people along the way but also adding more depth to the current.

    That's part of what made mass effect feel like mass effect. It did what no other games did in that respect.

    I have dragon age for stand alone single game protagonist, team and romance.

    Don't want that from ME as well.
