    I did the same thing, I've just now finished up all of the sidequests. I'm at the point now where all I have left are a couple of the collection quests and then the 2 main story quests.

      Just beat it. Wow, enjoyed every bit of it. Only minor complaints I had where the frame rate hiccups (specially in the final fight), and I thought the MAKO was harder to drive than it should have been...other than that, loved it. I may have to go get the prequel book now.

      I'll definitely play again focusing on the side quests this time.

        I got used to driving the Mako, and by now I'm awesome at Mako shooting, but it was a big big learning curve to get good. Especially with the wacky mountain terrain on most moons, that could make it harder than necessary sometimes. Nitpicking, but i hear ya.

          When I first started playing the drop in frame rates were real annoying. However, shortly after I never even noticed them even though I'm sure they were quite frequent. I guess I just got used to that "speed".

            Yeah, it didn't bug me after a while....

            I beat the game last night before bed, and wow...the game has you kinda caring about characters, wondering what's going to happen, etc...Great story and I can't wait for the 2nd and 3rd in the trilogy.

                I also finished it last night, and I actually was nervous in making one of the final decisions, wondering how it would effect the finishing of the game.

                  Yeah, and the decision you make earlier...you know what it is

                  Great that they have us making these choices, I think they minorly do affect what you end up seeing

                      I hated that one so much, but it was great the devs are making it emotional.

                        I haven't been able to play for 3 days because we were visiting the in-laws, but I'm back, and ready to settle into some serious Mass Effect.

                        Question: Are y'all sticking with the same squad all the time or rotating?

                          Finally this game is starting to make sense to me. Never purchased a game like this before nor Rpg for that matter mostly Sports for me but this game is really good.

                          Really a lot to comprehend for a newbie to this type of game. Glad that I made this purchase, so many options and different ways to play it. Just may be GOTY or even COD4 for that matter in my book. Damn, forgot about Assasins Creed. AC is also a great game. Peace!!!

                            I personally stuck with the same squad, mostly because it all meshed well. I was infiltrator, so tech/soldier....I had a full biotic as healer/support and a full soldier for power. I could have mixed it up but this was my best and most complementing group (other mixes would have duplicated unnecessarily).

                            Now, in my 2nd time through as a ruthless, evil Biotic I have a little while until I get to figure that out. I'm not sure what the best mix will be for me. Probably one soldier and then the 3rd will be up in the air.

                              Yeah, I used the same squad for almost each mission unless a person asked to be in the squad for a certain mission.

                                Ditto...I'd do the same in those situations, but on the side quests it didn't bug me, just on big long storyline missions I wanted my "A" team.
