5. Final Fantasy VII
6. Tales of Symphonia
7. Kingdom Hearts II
8. Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story

10. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
11. Brave Fencer Musashi
12. Shadow Hearts
13. The World Ends With You
14. Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals

Because 10 wasn't enough!

ME1's faults:

Inventory was terrible;
Character skill growth was somewhat limited;
Combat wasn't as good as ME2's;
Pacing was problematic until a certain point in the game;
Planet-based assignments got pretty old, although the vistas never did;
Kaidan and Ashley, while not as bad as some around here claim, were definitely weaker characters

Yep, that's about it for me.

Jack is the best romance option so far, and it sounds like Jack is gonna be even more badass in ME3 hell yes.

Garrus is the king of bros, and well my prefered playstyle is 78% Paragon, punching some people along the way.

As much as I don't care for Jack all that much, I will agree that her romance is surprisingly poignant. Very well-written.

Garrus is the king of bros, and well my prefered playstyle is 78% Paragon, punching some people along the way.

I get tired of all the Garrus-worshipping on BSN so I don't address him much. But he's definitely in my top five characters, rest assured.

Now now, that's an exaggeration! Probably.

My files last me 50-60 hours on ME1, by the way. If ever there were a good example of how much I mean it when I say that most of my favorite games involve me meandering about for a long time, there it is.

I do concur that Hale's delivery isn't quite as... epic. But she's still pretty good at what she does. I prefer Hale as Bastila if we're talking Bioware games though.

It's worth a go. You may grow to like her.

Oh, critically he's top tier and among the less-obsessive fandom he's definitely up there. But the BSN level of hardcore tends to speak volumes -- absolute volumes -- about the romance interests and small blurbs about everyone else. Yeah, it's annoying but... I wouldn't read into it too much.

There's plenty of good female models there.

I don't like playing as the default MaleShep but unfortunately there's very few, if any, decent looking custom MaleSheps. It's quite frustrating because, dammit, maybe I don't want a buzzed haircut and a stubble!

No way. No way. The normal story is like 20 and the assignments, tedious and repetitive though they may be, add another 15 or 20.

The rest of the time, though? Good question. I'm wandering around the ship, I'm admiring the vistas at the tops of mountains. So on.

You should try it. It's like the least romantic "romance" ever and much more "bro" and then it ends up being oddly emotional anyway
