I loved the Mako- although this love might have been heightened from my hatred of the Hammerhead. I swear, the Feros playthrough was more fun in my recent Renegade game. I hate having to save every single last colonist which usually means putting my teammates on ice and running forwards alone to prevent misfire. The Rachni Queen is awesome, I've always quite liked her which means I'm not too upset to take the Paragon point hit upcoming. Oh, if someone knows a mod to make all armours in Mass Effect look like Heavy Armour I would really appreciate it. I save Kaidan, I swear it has nothing to do with the fact I thought Carth Onasi was great. But in a few playthroughs Ashley pulls through. She is a good character in her own right and a lot of people give her a hard time. I wish quite honestly I could have both of them and leave Liara on Virmire. How ironic is it that the only way to kill her is to do a Mass Effect 3 fail playthrough? Considering how stringent the requirements are to save Miranda. Anderson, always because Udina's a politician and they make me squeamish. I've just never been able to leave the Council for dead. Not only from a it's completely heartless to me it was a key divergence from other cycles to preserve galactic government. I've never gotten Pinnacle Station and so far, I've been uninterested. I own all the other story DLCs in PC except for Mass Effect 3's (Partially as at the moment it is a big download) and in 360, I have all story based DLCs except for Pinnacle Station. The combat in Mass Effect One, mostly to maximize experience yields and complete all vital carry over states gets repetitive. I'm almost three-quarters through the Soldier playthrough I created to unlock all the weapons and that class is worse for the boredom factor. I love the story, I just get a little sick of the Thresher Maws.

Cried my eyes out on Virmire. For a tech/biotic combo, the sentinel's pretty decent but it depends on how much you want to redo parts, completionist playthrough and level. At the moment I'm bringing my primary Shepard in Mass Effect up to level sixty and at fifty-nine at the moment and I'm playing Veteran. I love Kaidan but I wanted to keep both of them- I'd rather have sacrificed Liara, not as fond of her as of those two. I romanced him first game and he's my main Shepard's LI. Right after that, I'm doing a Hardcore playthrough. I'd recommend normal if you want to do every mission, at least while you adjust to the playstyle and level up. I thought Grunt died in ME3 for a moment and I just started screaming at the screen, and sobbing like crazy, only for that loveable krogan to pull through for the win. Definitely use the bonus talent on Assault Rifles- it feels so much more balanced to get a decent weapon. My favourite trick is to max the rifle talent, max Barrier and you're pretty much a biotic god. (That scene with the Volus in ME2, is just epic 'fear me!' and 'I began to smell my greatness) Compliment your teammates with I suggest Wrex/Ashley and Garrus. I never ended up finishing a first sentinel playthrough in ME1, so tell me when you start, I'll start at the same time and we'll see how the other goes .

I resisted for so long playing the games, the dialogue wheel bothered me- and in the case of Dragon Age 2, I grin and bear the VA but Jennifer Hale's awesome and so is the Mass Effect series. I've played the first two games dozens of times, cross platforms with PC/XBOX 360 and the third game, I found out what happens and I progress what seems a minute further into Priority: Earth a month in my main playthrough, hesitating to resist having to use my imagination to fill in what even the EC left cut and it's silly but once it's played DLC not withstanding, the game's all used up. I can replay but that first personal completed playthrough is priceless. My favourite DLC packs are Arrival and Bring Down the Sky. I have a lot of Shepards but my main playthrough is Female Shepard, Paragon/Adept/Sole Survivor/Earthborn. The second game, first time round was a pain as an Adept (the class got a little messed with in the second game) but I adjusted. I classify my only Vanguard playthrough as biotics on stimulants- it's a lot of fun but high risk. Mass Effect 2's Story DLC: Included with brand new copy of game (Zaeed: The Price of Revenge, Firewalker and Crash Site), Kasumi: Stealing Memory, Overlord, Lair of the Shadowbroker and Arrival. You'll want to play the last two after the main mission in two is complete as they are much more fulfilling that way. Be careful with the third game's multiplayer- there's a PC bug (not sure if it ever got patched) where a multiplier is scaled down to zero- making the game impossible to complete when it's played. I've never touched it for that reason- that and L4D2 is enough of a pain with my ping without adding a different game. I'm practically a biotic specialist at this point so if anyone wants to play a biotic I'm more than willing to give pointers and advice. But, yes I love the Mass Effect series although KotOR I and II will always have the special place in my heart.

I can confirm my copies of both KOTOR AND KOTOR TSL work. I have the DVD for the first game, the original one and a four disc set for TSL. I'm running Windows 8 64bit, Quad Core I5-3330 processor (3.0- 3.2GHZ), 6 GB RAM and a NVidia 620 GT 1 GB dedicated graphics card. But I did just get my new computer and installed the latest drivers.
