My favorite part of Mass Effect 2 is what EDI says if you probe Uranus.

I have played every game that has ever been attached to the Bioware name. All of them. I have loved them all, and played them to completion, up to and including Dragon Age 2. Dragon Age 2 was such a slap in the face, that I haven’t even started playing Mass Effect 2, and am not sure I want to.

Mordin’s death is one the most heartbreaking moments I’ve ever seen in any form of media, be it game, movie, or book.

So I love Mass Effect and I’ve had 6 playthroughs, and while I’ve romanced Kaiden (once, for the achievement!), in Mass Effect 2 I ALWAYS romance Garrus. I love his character and I find that his romance is well-written. However, I also like Thane and the way that he’s written. Both are great characters. But… the one time I tried to romance Thane instead of Garrus I ended up choosing, “I can’t love a dying man,” *wince* and I ran back to the ship battery and romanced Garrus instead… *facepalm* Guess I love Garrus and his calibrations more!

I hated how, in Mass Effect 2, the deep, immersive atmosphere of the Citadel in ME1 was reduced to what’s ultimately a three-story shopping mall.

Sometimes while playing Mass Effect 2, I go to Lower Afterlife and just sit there, listening to the music for ages.
