Mass Effect For The First Time (Done)

Awe inspiring.
I'm sitting here looking for words to describe how I feel after the first play through of Bioware's masterpiece Mass Effect . A gaming experience that was just as huge as I had hoped for and then took it into overdrive in the final segments. Bioware reaches new levels of narrative and storytelling in videogame context with a world so meticulously well-made that all other sci-fi settings should be ashamed of themselves.
I was touched by the friendliness and warmth when I talked to my fellow humans
I found deeply troubled persons who share their life stories willingly with me.
I discovered that the act of sex was nothing compared to the social engagements we later shared on Normandys deck in the vastness of space.
As the end credits rolled I rose from my chair, trying to form words but nothing but whimpers came from my mouth.
All the moral dilemmas, the lives lost, shattered love. It gnaws away at my mind.
Williams.
Mass Effect is nothing short of a masterpiece which, despite its shortcomings, is a unique experience with a world that completely suckes you in.
And to imagine I still have Mass Effect 2 left to play. God help me.
