Ringadon August 15, 2010 Share Ringadon Member August 15, 2010 (edited) I've been considering investing some cash in the mass effect games (over steam to avoid EA's DRM whatnot) and am wondering if there were any real point to getting the first one or would I be better served by just going right to #2? Anyone? Anyone? Ring EDIT:: I realize that the games are old but I like to stay a bit behind the times tech wise (it's cheaper) Edited August 15, 2010 by Ringadon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VooDooPC August 15, 2010 Share VooDooPC Member August 15, 2010 First one has a lot of story and character stuff that goes into the second one. You can also transfer your character over from the first one to the second after you beat it. It effects the story, some characters you meet, and some other stuff. If you can, I'd definitely get the first one and play through that first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiler August 16, 2010 Share boiler Member August 16, 2010 Playing through the first one first should be a requirement! The combat gameplay in the second is far superior to the first, but in my opinion you should play through the first one as it is still amazing and has a great story. I played through the first one 5 full times before the second came out. Great games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VooDooPC August 16, 2010 Share VooDooPC Member August 16, 2010 The only thing I liked more in the first one than the second one was the loot. Second one has pretty much none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had a lot of loot, but 90% of it was crap. If I left for a mission and forgot to sell all the junk I picked up in the previous one, it would get full up again. On the plus side, I had crap-tons of omni-gel! Edited August 16, 2010 by boiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, there's gotta be a better gun available than the one I've been carrying around for the last 10 minutes, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing I hate about Borderlands's loot system is that you get crappy drops off of bosses. The only good weapons you can get are from chests which doesn't really make much sense.
