So I finally brought myself to play through Mass Effect and after the initial meh-ness I was really amazed. The gameplay wasn't that amazing but neither a bother though the Overheat bug made me almost freak out.... but Mass Effect was really the first game where the story wanted me to just go on no matter what in a long time. I'm really can't wait for ME 2 I want to know what happens to the Reapers. Oh and can anyone tell me if there's any side story that is worth playing? I ignored most of the side quests but I might play some on my second play through. and I really want to hear other opinions on the game.
