smitelf 01/07/12 3:31:00 PM #40:	From: ZFS \| #036 Better worldbuilding, better environments, stronger narrative, better core cast, more compelling villain, more RPG elements. ME1 has issues, but it functions more like an actual RPG instead of a third-person shooter with a wheel of choices during cutscenes. Item management was crappy and the Mako was a terror, but it had better style than ME2. Better worldbuilding? ME1 did more worldbuilding by nature of being the first game in the series, so I don't think this is a reasonable point for comparison. Stronger narrative? This is personal taste, but I will say that I found the story of ME1 to be solid, but very hamhandedly delivered near the end. I preferred the pacing and direction of ME2 even though it was lighter on plot. More compelling villain? If we're talking Saren vs Harbinger (whether either is really the main antagonist of their respective games is debatable), then I'll take Harbinger any day, especially given how excellently the concept of Harbinger was integrated into combat. More RPG elements? Most of the problems of ME1 were related to the poor execution of RPG elements. I think that ME2 kept the ones that ME1 did well and pared down the rest. Perhaps it pared them down too much, but I would still say that the quality of RPG elements in ME2 was better than the quantity in ME1. As for "better style", I just don't see it. ME2 looks so much better than ME1 to me. To each his own. -- Official Queen *** of the Universe! <cite>smitelf posted [p:640375] in Three mont...

If you take those missions out of the game then you're left with like five actual non-party member-related missions. -- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig.

ME1 has issues, but it functions more like an actual RPG instead of a third-person shooter with a wheel of choices during cutscenes. Item management was crappy and the Mako was a terror, but it had better style than ME2. I can agree with or understand everything there except what I just bolded. ME2 was all about its cast, to the possible detriment of the plot. Most of the missions focused on the characters, making them all feel more well-rounded than the original crew, even though you had at least twice as many of them. Only thing ME1 has over the sequel in the character department is Wrex. -- xfd dude, it's just a popularity contest on the internets. -Vlado <cite>Tehmoosey1 posted [p:640379] in Three mont...

I'm not saying ME2 is in any way bad (well... no, I will say resource scanning is bad).

smitelf 01/07/12 3:45:00 PM #50:	It's hard for me to argue cast either way. The Mass Effect casts are mostly forgettable. Tali and Garrus are by far the best members, and they were in both games, but I liked the developments they had in ME2 better. Props to Wrex from ME1 and Mordin from ME2 as well. And romance-wise, I was glad they made Garrus romanceable. I enjoyed that much more than the third generation carbon copy of Carth Onasi that they had in ME1. -- Official Queen *** of the Universe! <cite>smitelf posted [p:640385] in Three mont...
