Mass Effect 2 anyone?

Hey all! Its drawing closer and closer to the drop date of the most anticipated game of the past year (for me, anyways), so I figured I might set up a thread here to discuss it.

Bioware's sequal to thier fantastic sci-fi RPG/Shooter Mass Effect. They've taken lots of feed back and have improved on everything, from game mechanics to their stunning animations. Bioware has been releasing tons of videos of both gameplay footage and character introductions on the offical Mass Effect website. You can find the videos, along with tons of other information here.

The game has been generating lots of attention, in fact there is going to be a special on it on the SyFy channel on Tuesday, the 19th at 11/10c pm. The show's called Sci vs Fi.

So, who all out there is looking forward to it?

What do you think of the newly improved classes?

Or how about the graphics?

What do you think of the new team Commander Shepard is gathering?

What class will you play?

Got a favorite character from the first game that you want to see come back?

Any stories from the original Mass Effect that you'd like to share?

Let's get this conversation going and count down till ME2 drops!

Well, I played Mass Effect 2 and it was awesome! So awesome, in fact, that I played Mass Effect 1.

I love Liara, Tali, and Miranda. Shepard's badass and Joker is hilarious.

I've only ever played two, and I stopped playing for the same reason I stopped playing many awesome games such as Oblivion, and Dragon Age. It was way to addictive. The minimum time I could play for was about three hours at a time, and while I loved the game, I had to face intervention. A game has to be pretty damn awesome for me to stop playing. So go play Mass Effect Two. But don't ruin the ending... I might finish it some time.

I got around to playing both Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 this summer, fell in love with the games as a result. Tali is probably my favorite party member, followed by Grunt and the surprising one that I won't say for spoilers sake. My only problem is that I have ME2 on my PS3, so I don't feel like I'm entering a world I personally accomplished things in for a second time, rather I'm just taking over for someone else. Regardless, I can't wait for ME3.

Didn't end up happening. I know how it ends though!
