TheMadSpin: I thought you said before that you hadn't even bought the game. How do you know?
We're talking about the original ME, which I do have, and have completed.
It's story isn't the worst to come out of Bioware in recent years, but I found it ... meh. Saying it's better than Halo (which it is, obviously) doesn't save it.
One of the major things I hoped for Bioware to fix in ME2 was the story. Afterall, we know Bioware can do really good stories, for example the Mask of the Betrayer expansion for NWN2. Or Dragon Age. But apparently the ME2 story is every bit as cookie-cutter as the original, and that disappoints me.
