Conversations on Mass Effect

So I'm playing through this game. I'm around level 25-30 right now and I'm at the planet where you find the final team mate in Artemis Tau. I'm curious how much more of the game I have left to play through.

On top of that, is the game worth a second play through? If you get to respec your character when you start over at the same level that would be awesome because I'd like to try out a different set up other than straight combat but I don't want to have to start a brand new character to do that per se.

Finally, Mako ships are for suckers. I hate that thing and anything to do with it. I'm hoping they fix those sections or remove them in ME2.

How much game play that is left really depends on how many of the planets that drive the main story that you have visited. Assuming that artimus Tau is the last story planet for you, then once you go to the planet called Virmire then I estimate about 10 hours or less of game play remains.

after you do the first three, i think there are two maybe, atleast one, main planet left to do.... which launches you into the finale... actually, im thinking two. as for replay, yes, ive done it and plan to do a few more this summer before the game is released sometime next yearmattg90520

Total game time without doing sidequests should run you between 20-22 hours. If you throw in all sidequests plus DLC you could run up to 35 or so hours. I've replayed the game 5 times so far, but never yet with the same character twice, so I'm not sure if you respec your character on a reload, but I don't believe so.

The one out right now is Bring Down the Sky. It is a mix between a side quest and a main quest. I enjoyed it as it expands on the story as far as alien races goes, and you are also rewarded a pretty good item after the mission is completed.

What is the deal with the DLC?CNUrGames

It's a 2 hour sidestory that introduces a new race otherwise not seen in ME1. It's interesting, and well done, but ultimately more of the same. You're love of the DLC will be directly proportional to your love for ME.

I'd say it's worth it, but then I love ME.

My biggest issue with the Mako rover is when there is something on the top of a mountain and I can't get to itCNUrGames

The Mako was a pain for certain. I think the DLC is 1200 points, but I bought it forever ago when it first came out, so I could be wrong.

Well congratulations godly gamer of speed. Never-the-less, I assure you, my run times are just as valid as yours. Speed gaming doesn't make your time anymore correct than thorough exploration of everything makes mine.

It's good to play it again and again.

this game really makes me want to throw something out a window. i've only played through the beginning, the citadel part, and then flew to noveria and walked around doing nothing and having tedious conversations about nothing with everyone. i'm assuming that it gets a lot more fun, but then it might be that this game is just not for me, because if it takes this long to get into it i can't see how it became popular unless i'm just approaching it in completely the wrong way. i just.. i just don't find it fun.
