My name is Commander Shepard and this is my favorite Mass Effect community on the citadel.

Rules & Regs:

Don't be a dick, unless it's a really spicy renegade interrupt. But even then, seriously, don't be a dick.
Memes are great - seriously, I need more Mass Effect sh!tposting in my life.
This is a welcoming community for all stripes, let's just remember there's people on the other side of the screen and act accordingly.
If you're here, you gotta post. Thems the breaks, kid.

Other stuff:

I hope to welcome all Rexxitors from r/masseffect, though this is not in any official way associated with them. Still, they're great, and Mass Effect is great, so I hope all Reddit orphans can find a cozy place here to talk about whether or not Leviathan of Dis is going to pull some shady ish.

I guess being on the Fediverse it’s more inviting to share random thoughts.

I started playing NES around the early 90s, then through PC gaming and PS1 before stopping for university. I had a brief stint with Xbox and PSP but never really gamed for the last fifteen years. Anyways, now as a father and with a purchase of a Steamdeck I tried out ME Legendary.

Just finished ME2.

I really enjoyed my time so far. I had played Knights of the Old Republic but ME2 seemed like the evolution of that game—better characters, cinematic plot, really interesting gameplay.

Anyways this is just a note that I enjoyed learning about the magic of this game and why it was such a fuss some 10+ years ago. I never experienced it the first time but there is a tinge of nostalgia with being re-exposed to games that might have formed my childhood.

I’ve heard the criticism of ME3 but I guess there is a better experience now with the DLC ending.

I really enjoy the classic Bioware games (KOTOR, ~~Jade Empire~~¹, Mass Effect, Dragon Age: Origins, and Mass Effect 2) and I wish more studios took the Bioware formula, where you visit a few distinct semi-open locations with a bunch of interesting followers, and made games using it. I guess Spiders (Mars: War Logs, Technomancer, Greedfall) are kinda close, but their games are still missing something.

¹I haven't played it yet.
