So yeah, DEFINITELY play ME1, IMO you should've played it first.

Be warned though, the combat's not nearly as fun and it would feel like a downgrade coming from ME2, but it's still a phenominal game nonetheless.

Also for downloading....It's like $14 now, $20 NEW. Common man, gotta support Bioware

Haha yeah I didn't it would be this fun actually. Was a bit more interesting then I expected, I'll be sure to check out the first one though. Did find this video from the first one of him being a jerk to everyone, thought it was pretty funny lol. Think I might do something like this for the second game.

But yeah just started insanity, you know the 4 robots in the beginning of the game? Yeah they almost killed me haha. Their not playing around now. Game really was fun though, looking forward to the 3rd.

thats the same way he died for me. UGH!!! He was awesome. I felt I could really empathize with him. Pretty much all the characters were good.

I've already finished it as a paragon, now I've switched sexes, upped it to hardcore, and am trying to be as renegade as I can. I still seem to be getting paragon points just from going through the conversations.

I seem to be unlocking the loyalty quests much more slowly, maybe I just didn't remember them taking this long last time.

I can see how people like how the decisions from the first ME affect things in this one. I didn't really care for it all that much honestly. Some of the choices you make don't end up with the results you want, which is partly what makes the game great, it also gives you a "should have known better" feeling and it's frustrating when you know things could be playing out differently but you're stuck with a decision you made over a year ago in another game.

Plus I lost a member in my squad who's way too fing cool not to see again in the next one. Just my opinion but that would be my one criticism in this otherwise fantastic game. I'm glad they made it an optional feature.

in short though it's fantastic, and has successfully pulled me away from mindless MW2 grinding.

Do I need to get the first one before I play the 2nd?

I started playing the 2nd without having played the first. There are a couple references I don't know and characters who were apparently in the first one that I'd not have known about unless my roomy told me, but I don't think you need to play the first to enjoy the 2nd. I'm loving it thus far.
