The Citadel!
Last night I was able to explore The Citadel and get a bunch of side quests in. I wanted to kind of stay on the main quest path, but it is so easy to get side tracked into other things. Mass effect does a good job of having the side quests come to you. This being part of the reason I got so side tracked. It seemed to me that whenever you found a new area to explore, there was a new character asking for your help. Knowing that I could use the exp. and the credits, how could I say no?
The combat in Mass Effect is something that I am not completely on board with yet. The controls seem to be a bit shaky at times, but I have been told that they get better as your character builds up his skill. One of the aspects that I am happy with is the cover system. In the early stages of your character development it seems to be very important that you find cover when in a fight. A few times I decided to go all out and just attack. That ended very quickly with my entire party dead in the matter of seconds.
So, after a good three hours, and a couple of beers, I finally got back onto the main quest path (even though I had the proof I needed to move forward about 45 into playing last night). Had I not been so tired I easily could have kept playing. The more I play Mass Effect the harder it is for me to put it down.
Mass effect definitely gets more and more addictive the longer you play it. I'm curious - who do you have in your party? Obviously you haven't collected everybody yet, but did you change out any humans?
ReplyDeleteI have been changing people frequently to see who I really like. When I was on The Citadel I used Ashley and Kaiden for the majority of it. Also I had put Wrex in there for a little bit too.
ReplyDeleteWhile on Noveria I used Garrus and Tali'Zorah Nar Rayya. She kind of got on my nerves because she was always getting killed and not really shooting anything.
I believe there is only one more character I can unlock but I am sure I will try to use them all. That is unless Ashley gets really racist again and kills one of the aliens.
