    Okay, since my previous post was literally the last post in the previous thread, I shall obnoxiously restate my progress in Mass Effect 1: 2007 style (eg i don't have legendary edition)

    For context I'm playing psychic shotgun man that runs into danger so often it's a miracle he survived Akuze

    I beat the boss fight that was giving me trouble (the secret was to keep moving once out of cover and get lucky) and I recruited Liara

    I had a perfectly cordial meeting with the council (no, really)

    I have now gone to Corrupt Corpo Ice World (I like that construction, I'm using it again, fuck you) so that Liara and Benezia can have a dramatic confrontation and Tali is also here I guess and I'm getting annoyed by how many people want me to do illegal industry espionage shit

    Unsupportable Headcanon: this Shepard totally got a tsundere-style crush on Nihlus from the five seconds that they were together for some reason yes i know there is literally zero reason for me to have this opinion

    Unsupportable Headcanon: the reason why this Shepard gets fed up with Garrus's shit is that "I do things MY WAY without ANY OVERSIGHT because I am a GENIUS" got his commanding officer humiliated and his squad killed on the backstory planet and now Shepard has a giant-ass scar on his face and a lifetime of PTSD for the trouble

    Also I'm playing a paragon but I'm not fully leaning into the self-righteousness, I'm trying to play Shepard as a guy just trying to do his best with what he's been given

    Your mistake was playing Shepard as a guy.

    MaleShep is inferior on every level but he's at his worst in ME1.

    Depends on the difficulty but yeah unless you're playing on "I like putting nails into my own genitals and then complaining about it" difficulty there's only a couple of parts that can be dire.

    Getting Liara first is one because the final fight can really suck without some levels and gear. The other is Luna because <Mr. Torgue>EXPLOSIONS</Mr. Torgue>

    The real hard (well, tedious tbh) part of ME1 is getting all of the collectibles so that you can smile like an idiot in ME3.

    No that makes sense to me.

    Biotic shotgun man is actually pretty solid as a combat powerhouse. Pistols are really good in ME1, and shotguns are solid, and you can shotgun and pistol as well as about anyone as a vanguard. Most of Shepard's capability with a weapon type just come from points into that weapon's skill, so if you have that skill you can use the weapon well. On top of that, you have the shield recharge and barrier abilities, which are a good "press this to not die" button and a great "press this to not die" button. You also have the adrenaline surge ability, which resets all your cooldowns, so once you're out of the low level doldrums every class in ME1 has to deal with you can get some real violence of action going.

    Though do note ME1 is kinda bullshit, so while you will get OP the game will also just gank you occasionally.

    Lastly it sounds like you went right from Therum to Noveria? Don't forget there's sidequests you can do. While they're generally not like, "oh that sidequest was great, you gotta make sure you do it," they're good for XP and money to help ease the difficulty curve.

    I just made my first ever cocktail, an old fashioned.

    Pretty sure I used too much sugar, I couldn’t get it all to dissolve. Ad I’m using blended scotch because I didn’t want to open a new bottle of bourbon.

    But this is pretty good. I’ll need to keep practicing. And drinking the results.

    No, FemShep is paragon. Except when she tazes the Batarian mechanic. And when she pushes a merc out a window. And punches an admiral. And the other times I'm forgetting when the Renegade interrupt is the right thing to do. But otherwise totally paragon.

    In response to the "hey how sad" post re: Ann Heche and life support just as last thread closed...is it really?

    She blew up an innocent person's house driving 90+ mph, while on cocaine, with a bottle of vodka in the damn cupholder.

    Like, sorry, but that's tough to pity or defend.

    I feel worse for the woman who lost her house.

    Yes, they are.

    I think the vast majority of people went "I waited for the vaccine, I got the vaccine, I got the second shot, and I got the booster. I'm fucking done with this bullshit."

    Which, you know, not ideal!

    But at the same time? I kinda get it.
