Go on then, what's your Shepherd?

I went for a bald black guy with a goatee - he was meant to look a bit like Captain Sisco from Deep Space 9 but ended up a bit like a hardcore version of Kofi Anan. Confused

Soldier, specialising in assault rifle (might take sniper later on as I do like me a headshot). Been rolling with the Machinist and the Agent backing me up for a while but I may bung the human girl in instead.

Anyone else?

Me and RPG's have an understanding, first time through i will go with the default character to play it the way the programs suggest. Second time i run rampant and do whatever i wish, genrally being bad cos i'm always good first. I'll explain why, good is always harder due to less rewards, but the ending is always better and you might get extra back-up for saving peoples asses.

So my Shepard is standard

Solider Specialising in assult rifles, not for sniping but simply its my weapon of choice. I am really boosting my Social stats as the game has been hyped on the social aspect and i want to see why.

I run about with Garrus cos he's cool and can hack, sometimes switching with Kaiden cos i need the Biotics. The other character is always ashley Williams cos.....well come on ASH! Same name as evil dead, so she is armed with shotgun and told to shout groovy at every possible moment.

what is this mass effect everyone seems so enamoured with? i dismissed it on the cover alone, and i'm starting to worry that i might have done so out of hand...

go buy a 360 now new boy, and buy masseffect and say goodbye to your life... well for a while..

mine is a olive tan skinned medium build girl... (the reson for this is that i let my better half choose and she decided to make her look as much like herself as possible..).... i concluded this was pasable.. yes not overly origonal..

Guest

gah, i don't want a 360. i can play kotor on my xbox, enchanted arms on my ps3, final fantasy on my ds, naruto on my psp, and zelda on my snes. the rest of the consoles are squirreled away in various hidey holes, and they're all better than a 360. is mass effect really good enough to warrant me buying yet another console? (bear in mind, my wii should arrive next week...)

If you've got a PC you could always wait for the possible release on that..... They had better release it on that or I'll cry a lot

finished last night. The main story missions only total about 8, but the side quests will keep you going for ages.

Without looking at the achievement list i got 450 points. I don't like to look cos i genrally says '30 points earned when such and such a person is dead' and then you know the plot. BTW thats not an achievement. Other peoples scores?

i've been ill and i finshed Uncharted in one massive run (amazing game! 9/10 or 10/10) and decided to replay mass effect. Now i'm gonna give credit where its due, not many games make me wanna play through again strait away (might sub consciencely be cos of the achievement).

Now i'm a Red head female with a pointy upper lip who likes no one! Ruthless spacer. I insult everyone at a whim and the computer has decided she is a lesbian cos i did nothing diffrent with the consort apart from insult her and they ended up in bed for some reason! ROCK ON!

Vangaurd is fun to use as a change of pace and i have found sop many more quests this time. level 29 and only just got liara. only main mission i've done!

Xeall

Level 51 by the end of the game and then discovered you can use the same charcter with all their equipment when you start again! so i'm going for the level 60 achievement by playing it on insane with my old character for awhile.

Scariest thing is that i did everything in the game i could find, went to every planet, did every secondary mission, and tried to deviate from what i did the first time as much as possible. Just before i did the final mission i got the achievement for "most of the game complete". Now correct me if i'm wrong but most of the game would be 51%! 51! How much frikkin stuff could i have missed? i went everywhere! On my second time through the game!

HUGE!
