This is a game that everyone seems to love a whole lot but I have never really understood why. The original Mass Effect had a lot of interesting ideas and RPG elements whereas this one jettisons a lot of that and just presents a relatively straight forward action game with some dating mechanics.

Also think the story is pretty lackluster. Basically nothing of consequence happens. Lots of character building happens, but none of it is terribly interesting. I think if they had combined Mass Effect 2 and 3 together and simply made all the character stuff in 2 the sidequest segments in 3, it'd be a better game.

I like sub-cinemax level sex scenes as much as the next guy and I will always love Tali Zorah vas Nornandy, but I just don't get why this game has the legendary status that it foes.
