Very cool game! A space adventure with dark overtones and seemingly endless possibilities. And it is not a multi-player game either! I managed to finish it after 45 hrs.37min of gameplay over a span of 38 days. My John Shepard character survived the final escape jump from the Collectors station to the waiting Normandy. Good thing because I can use the same character in Mass Effect 3.
I played the game as a Sentinel which is supposed to be challenging, at least according to the IGN walkthrough which mentioned:
Because of their unique play-style, Sentinels should be left to those who have a lot of experience in the Mass Effect universe. Lacking any real ability to use firearms, Sentinels will need to depend on their dueling skillset, which includes both biotic and tech-based abilities. Good luck! Playing as a Sentinel isn't easy.
I did not really find that particular character very difficult in the normal (default) level of difficulty and I had no past experience with Mass Effect. It took me a while to figure out the ‘biotic’ powers but I could still fight. I finished the game as a level 27 character.
During the game:
- I ‘romanced’ Tali.
- Miranda died in action. She disliked me since I took the side of another female by the name Jack!
- The female Jack is pissed off at me because I dumped her for Tali!
- Morality-wise I was mostly a paragon. No surprise there.
- Best weapon: The Collectors’ heavy weapon.
- I saved the galaxy!
