My first game that I finished in the past few years!

After being a casual gaming enthusiast, who has splurged money on the first 4MB graphics card in 1997 to the latest 1GB card by Radeon and purchasing a boat load of games, I can tell that I have not had the chance to finish many a games. From Star Wars games (which I abandoned playing due to travels) to the Oblivion which I abandoned after mucking around with cheats, I lacked the penchant to play anything in its entirity. So how come I finished Mass Effect? I must give total credit to the story. It was gripping, it was amazing and for the first time I refused to look for cheat codes, guides or any material to help me plod through the exploration of the galaxy and to uncover the Reaper plot. So after nearly a month of playing the game, in spurts and pieces, I finally reached the point of ILOS campaign. After debating for a day or two as I somehow felt that this would be it, I decided to boost my level to maximum allowed before I got to that campaign. And what an end of a campaign it was. I was a Paragon of Virtue, I had more nearly 2 million in credits. I also managed to rack up a couple of renegade points but they did not impact my overall outlook. I looked good as Shepard and I was extremely satisfied at the end when I choose not to put my two-cents for the council seat selection. In my opinion, jackass Udina was prudent in his actions and Anderson was a hot head but decisive. A functional difference in leadership styles. If only there was a middle ground. With my procuring a uber-powerful machine, I cranked up everything up the wazoo and I was not disappointed. I got some cool images churned out by the game, smooth play without any hitch and I was immersed in the story line enough for me to sometimes get my calculator to subtract my XP points to figure out how much is needed for the next level.
