arise: (fire emblem ☆ beach holiday mia)
Just finished Mass Effect 2, and about to move on to 3! I'll catch up with the rest of the internet yet!

♥ JACOOOOB. It is my great regret that I was not able to romance you! Though idk my Shep and Jacob would've been an awful couple as she is still not over Kaiden OR Liara (/headcanon)
♥ Liked most of the cast in general. Unfortunately I got Legion and then immediately got him killed in the Relay, but idk I liked him. (I just liked Tali a bit better so I sided with her. Sorry, Legion!)
♥ Combat system and upgrades are really fun.
♥ The ending sequence in general was cool! I was playing completely blind, and I was really pleased to only have one loss (poor Legion, as mentioned above). I wish there had been even more customisability, honestly, in terms of picking roles for everyone to fulfil.
♥ I kinda want to play ME1 for Liara alone. She's so cute! ♥

Jack is so annoying omg hate :/ Just ugh. Stop being such a brat to me for no reason. Wish she had fallen instead of Legion. Oh well.
COVER WHY ARE YOU NOT WORKING OH MY GOD. It was mainly in one of the DLCs, where you rescue the scientist who turns out to be Reaper-controlled, but jfc I had so many deaths from The Arbitrary Cover Dance.
I felt like some of the stories/characters weren't complete? idk. It was most present with sme of the characters from ME1, so perhaps it was that I came into their arcs late, but eh. It wasn't too bad or anything.
In general, I really thought it would go a lot longer. It had great pacing and everything flowed really well and stuff - I guess it's a combination of mostly having played the DA games (I've played bits of KOTOR but never through), just coming off New Vegas and a couple of other marathon games, and the general fandom hype. THAT SAID, when I think about it, I really liked how the game did flow, so! Pretty notably, I never once felt like "argh this is dragging way too long" or "when is this game gonna end?".

On to Mass Effect 3 tomorrow! If it's of a similar length, hopefully I'll be able to burn through it in a couple of weeks. :)
