Yeah i was surprised when more people initially voted for 2. What zenoth said about the writers being different makes sense IMO, mass effect 1's storyline is just epic, mass effect 2's story isnt bad but its pales in comparison to the first.

I thought they would've had us invading geth space only to find the geth have built/done something that allows the reaper fleet to arrive setting up mass effect 3. Collectors suck.

Unpredictability sucks?

Also, I really don't see how so many people thought that the ME1 inventory system was cumbersome/awful/etc. Sure, there were a lot of items to manage (limited to 150) but it was strait forward and easy to prune what you didn't need or want. It was a great money maker too!

It was better than ME2's "solution", which was to strip out inventory entirely.

Same with their "solution" to the mako missions.

Bioware is so lazy nowadays. Oh, instead of improving upon our predecessor, lets just take out parts that weren't that well recieved before!

Just look at the more extreme DA2.
