You could say this game left a "Mass"-ive "Effect" on me XD!

- The story is well-paced and action-packed. Was pretty much hooked from start to finish. The choices you have to make in this game can also aid in story investment as they can be really intense and game-changing, which is awesome and terrifying!
- The dialogue is not as deep as I'd like, but it definitely serves its purpose to deliver the story
- The voice acting is fairly good, with sprinkles of voices that are downright phenomenal, or just fit the characters/setting really well.
- Downsides: how stiff the characters are during interactive scenes, which I hope the next game can hopefully deliver more fluidly. Another is how choosing nicer or meaner choices during interactions is like Russian Roulette, and you'll never know until you choose if the dialogue will come off as kind, or mean, even if you feel in your gut that the text is one or the other.
- If you want to build on the relationships with your crew, make sure to check-up on them after every mission. I was so invested in the story, that I foolishly blazed my way through the plot, and didn't talk to my crew enough, missing out on romantic options and more cohesive dialogue between members during missions, which blows (I think I even got a member killed because I didn't know them well enough to get certain dialogue to reason with them, and I'm just NOW realizing this!!) :..( .

One of the first Bioware games I've ever played. I've allways wondered why people keep saying "Bioware! Bioware!" when it comes to RPGs. So far, this game is a solid presentation of Bioware's done, and what they're other titles have in store for me. And in the eternal words of "Sonic Boom" Knuckles, "Game..Recommended!!"

Makes me weep for what has happened to the gaming industry over the last 15-20 years. We thought it could only get better.
