XDDD i love sole survivor. But I always choose Earthborn--I love the idea of my Shepard being a total street rat who signs up for the Alliance. (And... somehow becomes mostly paragon but takes all the renegade interrupts. Let's face it--if you dont take renegade interrupts, you life will NEVER be complete)
Oohhh yeah I loved ME1! You should totally play the rest too, just for the sake of getting the whole story. ME1 was fantastic, but all of the games have their merit. Like the combat in ME3 was hella. The story/people of ME2 was hella.
Well I am on a 2nd playthrough of ME1 after I found out I missed a lot of side quests XD
I did the very beginning of ME2 but after getting used to ME1 controls I found really hard to get into Also what's the deal of suddenly needing ammo?! :\
Oh heck yeah ME1 has so many side quests XD. I'm such a completionist when it comes to gaming, and I went through literally every planet thoroughly with the mako. Yeah needing ammo in ME2 was my least favorite part of the game, but you actually don't run out of ammo very often. Especially when you're a Vanguard and you can just biotic charge your way through everything. Seriously play as a vanguard in ME2 and ME3 because I think I only fired a gun like... less than a dozen times. It was always with biotic charge and melee. The controls take a little time to get used to, especially since a lot of stuff switched around after ME1, but the game ends up being super fun to play.
Man I know right!? I loved reading about that cool little detail. Apparently the excuse was that it's not "ammo," instead it's "thermal clips" so the guns don't overheat anymore. The guns still work the same way, but now they run on heat clips so you don't have the overheating problem. It just seems like a step backwards when it comes to innovation and improvement, though. The actual reason for it was that BioWare wanted to make Mass Effect a little more FPS-like. The first one was more RPG stype (which is my favorite kind of game), but they've been working on their Dragon Age series which fulfilled their RPG audience, and they wanted to cater to more people. It was more a business progression than a lore-related one.
I much preferred the overheat thing. There were plenty of ways upgrades to make it a mood point anyway, as no competent soldier would shoot a continues stream of bullets... XD
Shooting in bursts and with the right perks and/or mods and you do not ever overheat. ^^
Same thing that happened to my Fem Shepard, except the Nervous breakdown part, more like moved on, hit people who pissed her off (which was quite a few) and then got cosy with an Asari!

Just more reasons to hate Cerberus
My fem Shep is an orphan from Earth and sole survivor too!
Also with vanguard training. ^^
And she generally ends up a paragon with a few renegade points as well... XD
Only have done Mass Effect 1 though XD
I did the very beginning of ME2 but after getting used to ME1 controls I found really hard to get into
Also what's the deal of suddenly needing ammo?! :\
If I see an unmarked place on the radar I WILL make a detour for it. XD
Well my Shepard is a Vanguard, Commander "Angel" Shepard.
And I intend to port her over to each game. ^^
I'm really upset about the ammo thing, the Codex in the first game gave a very good explanation that you didn't need ammo any more. :\
I much preferred the overheat thing.
There were plenty of ways upgrades to make it a mood point anyway, as no competent soldier would shoot a continues stream of bullets... XD
Shooting in bursts and with the right perks and/or mods and you do not ever overheat. ^^
WIN.
I'm repeating what others said but... Welcome to the Carth Onasi's mental hospital is a hilarious panel.
Me: *in same pose as last panel* I like this comic already
--
It's not that I hate you so much as if you were on fire and I had a glass of water... I'd drink it
I love you.
Instant watch.... Seriously, That made me laugh so hard. Can't wait to read more!!
Forgive me if my memory is off, but doesn't Carth have the same voice actor as...Kaidan?
