Should I play Mass Effect?

I thouhgt it was alright but I'm still a bit soured from playing it on a SDTV with film grain turned on. I probably would have liked it more if the graphics wooed me over. I agree with everyone else in that there isnt much replay value as I played through once and then quit on my second play through.

I rather enjoyed playing through once again with a polar opposite character, just to see how the story would play out changing several key decisions. Some of the intimidate options are rather badass. I'll be doing it a third time through soon just to build a save file to my liking for importing to the sequel.

I miss games that did that, did anyone ever play Quest for Glory? The game let you import one character through all five sequels, including allowing character classes that weren't an option in the current game, even if the fifth was garbage.

Granted they do add some spice but they don't really change must after you see the difference from picking good guy to bad ass guy. You do stuff a different way but I don't think I noticed any real consequences from doing one act over the other.

I think my favorite was the TV reporter lady and how I punched her in the face when I picked a bad guy response which was pretty funny.

I suppose I'm anticipating changes based on decisions in the first Mass Effect to be fairly relevant to the sequel. This is probably a lofty dream.
