Don't get me wrong, I use that all the time, but dosbox is emulation. Not exactly the same thing as suggesting you can just install the game from 1995 onto your PC and run it. Using those kinds of standards, there are plenty of Retron type devices that can take cartridges but connect to modern TVs. True but all my old consoles still work fine as AV and scart arent going anywhere it seems. --- A garbage pod!? It's a smegging garbage pod! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Personally, I really liked the Mako. But I'm the kind of guy who'll find a seam in the Skyrim world map and use it to jump up a mountain. I don't get why more people don't just go diagonally up sharp inclines. So did I, tbh. Just the feeling of isolation on those quiet planets as you scavenge around for side quests and items. Really helped make the universe feel big. (I also liked randomly running into benign space cows lol) I mean the machine would freak out if you ran over so much as a pebble, but it oddly made it more satisfying when I could pull a slick turn or a hop off an incline within rolling over. Some stuff came up so I just completed the first mission at Freedom Progress. Tali! Apparently some shit happened on the Flotilla with Cerberus. Looking forward to getting back to that later. Idk how to feel about this action shooter stuff lol. How far along was this game in development when Bioware got scooped up by EA? Maybe Im completely wrong but I definitely feel their influence. On one hand, its pretty nice to have real boss fights, and combat that you cant just cheese through. On the other, Im not very good at shooters lol. The next mission briefing made me feel weirdly nostalgic, hearing how all the old teammates moved on. Getting pretty late so I just explored the Normandy and the Citadel a bit instead of continuing the main story. (Didnt talk to the Council or Anderson yet) accidentally flirted with Kelly when I was trying to speed up the dialogue. She seems nice but...kinda scary? Like the way she talks makes me imagine that old overly attached girlfriend meme. Got fucking wasted with the doctor lol. Jacob is really likable. Mirandas genetically modified? Does that include her ass? >_> Shes a bit harder to read. And uh...I heard the morality checks in this game can be pretty strict. But the game is also less obvious with which options give which points. Im randomly picking up a little of both in most conversations. And I guess finally, this Illusive Man is oddly annoying. Like hes just too nice and accommodating. But I actually did the sidequests in 1 where they showed up. Not gonna trust a group that was experimenting with that mind control plant. >_> --- ...

I legitimately have no big issue with the gameplay in ME1. It's janky and not as action packed as later games, but it's perfectly reasonable, if not 'good' to me. Shooting is enjoyable. Using powers is... okay. It works perfectly well for a depthful RPG like Mass Effect. My main gripes with the gameplay comes from the constant enemy banter and the poor optimization for weapons other than pistol. ENEMIES EVERYWHERE! --- Rage is a hell of an anesthetic. ...

Most important thing to do in the game. Make sure to talk to the other recruit you get on Omega every chance you get. He has one of the best scenes in the trilogy, and there is a nice callback to it in ME3.
