The step up in gameplay between 1 and 2 is much bigger than I remember. God 2 is good when coming directly from 1.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Just finished the second game. Wow.
Blown away, the effects of your decisions throughout the game is so clear, never seen a game do it like that.

The credits song on ME1 is an absolute banger, as probably nobody says anymore.
That ending level has some incredible cutscenes too.

ME2 is one of my favorite all games I've ever played. Pretty sure I played it about five or six times when it first came out. Such a good game with so many different ways to go with the story/character. I'm enjoying ME1 but I'm kind of pushing myself through as fast as possible to get to 2.
I’m having the worst luck with light armor and pistols in ME1. It’s like the game is conspiring against my Adept. I had the same lame armor for like half the game.
I swear I will not romance Miranda this time around, but the leather body suit always gets me.
I always played as Fem Shepard so you only get certain lesbian options, I don't think she was one of them.
I can't play female characters in these type of games. It's too immersion breaking for me.
Can't you just buy some good stuff at the C-sec vendor?
If he has good stuff, he’s not releasing it. I am traveling back and forth to the Citadel after missions but that gets old after a while. I’ve bought one shotgun off him and any licenses available and that’s probably about it.
Hmm, I didnt check back a lot, just at the end where he sells really expensive level X stuff. I got metric tonnes of pistols and armours and everything though. Are you doing all the side stuff? There's so much loot. To a point that the terrible menu makes it a huge chore to sell everything.
I thought the inventory was unlimited but I got a notification saying I had 250 items and the limit is 300 so I had to sell stuff, which was annoying because I'm a terrible hoarder in games.
I omni gel everything so I can bypass the annoying unlocking minigame.
I’m not the only one that knocks out the reporter right? It’s gotta be a tradition.
I’m doing all the side quests. I maxed out my credits. But still cool light armor eludes me.
It was an even bigger gap before the remake, they improved the gameplay of ME1 quite significantly
Does anyone ever decide to kill Wrex on Virmire? Seems like such an unappealing choice to me.
I'm gonna stay faithful to Ashley this time. Feck what anyone else thinks!
I'll give it 6 months. She's a bitch.
Miranda is bae
I only have 3 achievements left in ME1. 'Finish the game' and 'convince someone to make an impossible choice' - both are obvious.
But "Complete the majority of the game" is a bit vague. Think I have done every side mission (that I have found) aside from a couple of those "find 20 metals" quests. Do you have to do virtually every side mission/codex entry?

It’s not all of them. I know I never found all the metals or rare elements. I think I’d done about 45 side quests.
I got as far as having Ilos be the last mission, and then just went round every system seeing if anything would pop up for me to do.
The trophy popped for me doing a side quest on Asteroid X57. I think there are a load of Citadel side quests that I missed though.
Not really, I got the achievement after doing all side quests bar the minerals stuff when I was on the citadel before going to Ilos.
Does any game have a more satisfying dialogue choice?
That was fun! ME1 always had terrible gameplay compared to the other two, but this has improved a bit on the new version. Though QOL things like the inventory management and not being able to see which systems you have already explored is maddening.
But the story has always been wonderful! Was a pleasure to play through it again - even if I spent quite a bit of it looking forward to 2 and 3.
Also nice to get the plat.
I was intending to do every side quest anyway (you never know who will pop up in 2 and 3) so the only thing I had to farm was some of the more obscure companion abilities
They removed the gratuitous shots of Miranda's arse but this is what happens when you put in a photo mode...
Might’ve missed some of the Citadel stuff? I got that achievement when I got to Virmire or just before that.
I forgot how fantastic the music is. Just walking around the Normandy is great because of it.
ME1 down and platinumed.
Talked Saren into shooting himself and thought that was it. I forgot Sovereign just zombifies him for a boss fight.
Now for the best game, ME2! There is so much of it to play too.

Just started ME 2 as well. Omega
I’m on ME2 as well. It’s so good.
Just finished Virmire? Picked Ashley over Kaiden because he’s a boring fecker, even though Ash is a total bitch. And gladly didn’t off my favourite Krogan.
Accidentally put myself in a relationship with Ashley. Feck! I wanted Tali!

You can't romance Tali in the first. Pretty sure Ashley and Liara are the only options.
Oh really? Damn. Thought I could. Trying to get a platinum too but the completionist trophy is a bit vague.
Finished 1 and started 2. I'm pretty certain that the intro with Miranda and the Illusive Man was different. Seem to remember Miranda saying something about Shep's actions in the first game but instead there's just a wee awkward pause before Martin Sheen's false teeth start gabbing away.
The gameplay is night and day with ME2, so much better. Looks fantastic too.
A small thing but I was always annoyed how the casual gear for walking around the ship was Cerberus branded or some shitty overalls but they've added the cool N7 hoodie from ME3 into ME2. Nice.

If the next game isn’t based entirely around Thane and his past as an assassin, then honestly BioWare don’t deserve my money or my respect.
I’d forgotten how much I liked him.
