This game made me feel like the captain of a space ship. There was nothing like it at the time it was released, and even now I have not experienced any other game making me feel this way. I loved Fallout 3 too, but Mass Effect had something special. It was so well crafted, I listened to every dialogue of every NPC. The characters are so memorable with amazing voice acting. The Citadel is the best city in video games, felt really alive. Most sidequests add to the story instead of just padding the gameplay time.
After playing the game, I wondered how Star Wars (movies) sucked so badly, when a video game could create a much more interesting sci-fi world and story.
Unfortunately Bioware is no longer the same company.
You should try Cyberpunk 2077, I liked the last 2 Deus Ex games (and the original one) but I prefer Cyberpunk 2077
Thanks. Yeah, I did try it. Must’ve replayed it a few dozen times since it released. Another masterpiece, that one. Might give it another run after 2.4 is out, lol.
