I just started ME1 the other day for the first time--was getting somewhat sick of Witcher near the end (I think) of chapter 2--that game wreaks havoc on my hoarding tendencies...and just too many quests it seems, I keep getting bogged down and frustrated with OMG which option do I choose?? bah.
I'm loving ME1 so far, though. doesn't feel like hoarding will be an issue (though switching equipment across party members will be tedious I imagine, as will knowing exactly what to buy from merchant, or just wait to find shit), and the quests seem reasonable so far, and fun at least--not just run back and forth simply to talk to people. I only just left the citadel for the first time and took the buggy thingy out to...peak 15? on the snowy mining planet.
my only complaints so far:
--see myself doing a lot of backtracking to get the proper party member, return, open boxes I couldn't open before...blah!
--combat is pretty much me running in circles and shooting at shit. ...I haven't seen much reason not to do this, yet. I'm feeling less inclined to actually do anything with the squad beyond letting them do whatever the hell they want to do.
ME2 looks pretty good, but if it is more along the FPS type game then I might pass. Those aren't my thing.
