March 7th. 3 weeks away from ME3. Not going to lie, I'm pretty stoked about it and I decided to just go ahead and start the traditional [H] thread for an upcoming AAA title.
Personally, although I don't look down upon multiple playthroughs or having multiple "shephard's" to play with, I stand strongly by the having an "original" shephard. You know, you're first playthrough where you acted based on how you felt rather than about having a "perfect" playthrough, or a paragon or renegade only playthrough etc. I feel that the "original" playthrough is a story that was actually crafted by you. I mean, everyone can do the perfect playthrough but where is the sense of accomplishment. I only have 1 playthrough on both ME's for this reason. ME1 went like this for me : Was pretty much neutral on the paragon/renegade scale, killed the rachni queen because I didn't want them around anymore; killed wrex because honestly, who was he to question me; saved ashley because well, my shep is a male and let the council die because they the focus was on sovereign; also put Anderson in charge. In ME2, pretty much, thane and jack died because I didn't know not upgrading certain parts of the ship would cause death; I took my time rescueing the crew because I went and did Legion's loyalty mission which resulted in the crew being killed and I blew up the Collector Base so the Illusive Man is a little pissed. So yea, I don't know, I think the first playthrough is the one I'm most excited about because I have to deal with the decisions I made based on my gut feeling, not a pre-determined route. It's the story I crafted and the story I'm going to continue and end with. How about you all?
