mass effect tag game~

thank you for the tags @forestcreatures @mordinette @weakzen

tagging - you, reading this (seriously, anyone else who wants to do this & hasn’t already!)

I’ve Been a Fan Since: 2012! I was doing a lab stint (internship) working with these critters, and my friend working with me was waiting for the extended cut / had just gotten the extended cut, and after a month (of two), he convinced me to pick up a second-hand xbox 360 to play the series.

(also, an author I’d been following for years had also written this fic, and the double whammy of recommendations was the perfect storm >:D)

Favorite Game of the Series: hmmMM. I loved Mass Effect 2 (the impact of that opening sequence, coming straight after the first game? god.) But ME3, with that sense of urgency and impending doom, the character moments, has to top (but let’s just ignore the last ten minutes).

Mshep or Fshep: Fshep all the way~!

Earthborn, Colonist, Spacer: Spacer! (those final conversations with your mom before the crucible...)

Biotics or Tech: >:3 Biotics! (always paired myself with another biotic to blow shit up)

Paragon or Renegade: Paragade! (polite until you get punched in the face)

Favorite Class: VANGUARD. I also liked Infiltrator (my renegade shep playthrough~ sniping is fun)

also, oh god, this got long. uh, continues under the cut.

Favorite Companion: Garrus! (just. hands down.)

Least Favorite Companion: Ashley. It’s not on her really, although I never really identified with the character - but first time playing Mass Effect, I messed up the conversation with Wrex, and Ashley took him down. I was so close to making him see reason...

My Squad Selection: all three games, Garrus. ME1: Wrex (!!), Kaidan/Liara. ME2: hmmm... Grunt, Legion? ME3: Javik (dark channel!!), Kaidan/Liara, James I think !

Favorite In-Game Romance: started off ME with Kaidan (by accident asfdsa), but then kicked off the Garrus romance in ME2..... best friends to lovers with a sprinkle of BAMF on top? Hands down, my ultimate OTP I think. My phone background for at least five years. (Zen, you have to let me know what you think of the romance, oh my god.)

(also, those moments in ME3? there are too many to name, but they were always so soft and comforting in the middle of a space war. plus, turian tango.)

Favorite NPC: Space dad!! Anderson! Break my heart into a million pieces why don’t you! but also, there is a conversation between a turian at the docks(??) in ME3 and an orphaned spacer girl which never fails to break my heart. I love them too.

Favorite Antagonist: hmmmMM. Saren? Is that cheating? (wish we had more time with Nihlus so we could see more of that dynamic!)

Favorite Loyalty Mission: there were so many good ones, oh my god. For now... Legion?

Favorite Mission: so many!!! Maybe... Horizon? And that first mission, after you wake up in ME2, where you’re getting your bearings and learning about the threat. I loved the sense of mystery and creepiness that came with the collectors, and I’ve replayed ME2 many times.

...I just remembered that moment at the end of ME2, where you play as Joker after the Collectors storm the ship, and that was amazing.

Favorite DLC: CITADEL, hands down!! the BANTER, the mission!! (the heartfelt good byes ;m;) SO fun to play as well! Although I loved the dlc where you could try different game modes, i.e. investigate (there were some in ME2 and ME3!)

Control, Synthesis, Destroy: tried them all, to varying levels of frustration - Destroy ONLY.

Favorite Weapons: always travelled light as a vanguard for shorter recharge times, so locust SMG was my main! >:3 Also had a favourite sniper rifle.... cannot remember it now though ;___;

Favorite Place: hmmMM!! Does Omega count? Also, basically any location in ME3 that was used in multiplayer (I made so many different characters...)

Favorite Quotes: fajfsdsh so many.

Garrus: Come back alive. It’d be an awfully empty galaxy without you.

Shepard: ...that's a straw, Tali. Tali: Emerrrrrgency. Induction. Port.

[Citadel dlc, i may have googled this, but so good- ]

Shepard: She messed with my hamster guys... this is personal.

Drunk Tali: Garrus? But you're with Shepard! Oh... the three of us? Well... hmmm....
