man this game scared the shit out of me when i was a baby and idek why. i remember the crawling doll head spiders to this day decades later

game of all time, lowkey got me into gaming cuz i saw my uncle playing it and thought it looked cool

spent ages reading abt it and being obsessed with the lore

finally got a pc in 2009 and got to actually play and experience it and replayed it like 38423 times modded since

started / finished dates are arbitrary like why would i remember that. probably spent like 2k hours on this total. nothing like this game's magic touch on me fr between the art direction that i feel like hasn't really met its bizarre match since, the plot and lore, the russian voiceover (superior to eng dub ngl, probably one of the last vestiges of russians ever doing smth cool), and just this sense of exploring and losing yourself in an alien world. i wish some game would copy its travel system so bad, made it feel so real

i never finished it cuz it was bugged as hell and i think the race i picked at the start was nooooot balanced well lmao. i forgot the name, but it was made for characters who dont like fighting and prefer talking to solve problems but. the game wanted you. to do the fighting
anyway i should replay it one of these days bc the writing was good as hell and the characters were so memorable, even though i never touched it again since i first played it, i still remember jack, bertram etc it's fascinating. i knew nothing abt the game going in and the ocean level was such a fun surprise, still most memorable game horror experience for me, esp since my sister was watching me play so we got to freak out together ;w;

made me an anarchocommunist not clickbait /s
really though cult classic for many reasons. i should try replaying it with mods sometime
the amnt of times the game would foresee your actions was actually crazy. and all the different ways you can explore the levels. im not even gonna talk abt the story

baby me was not phased by accents bc they spoke super accented english themselves so it took me like years to realize the eng dub was pretty bad but its funnier that way

i loved it when i played it for the first time, but somehow thinking back on it makes me feel tired... i probably just fell out of love with the franchise / the da setting (haha, thedas) though
morrigan should have been a lesbian then it would be life changing for baby me

best game in the series sorry to the haters

first and only time i bought a game on release
i still regret the 11k i spent on it

i liked mako and exploring planets ;w; which isnt what anyone would first say abt this game but well thats what i remember of it
vaguely remember hating the inventory system in this
i didnt feel super attached to cast or shepard in the first game and i feel like as standalone it isnt That good... but at the same time bc of the nature of multiple-story branches games having sequels and inevitably minimizing the effects of said choices... well... anyway its a fine game i might replay the whole trilogy remastered one day

suicide mission was really fun for the first run. and by fun i mean i was stressed af and got people killed but thats what makes things impactful and memorable. miranda im so sorry

well. infamous ending aside i quite liked it as a wrap-up game. i felt really connected with shepard and their exhaustion with wranging the fate of the world(s). emotional attachment means to me more writing-wise so i remember it better than the previous games / feel more fond of it
citadel dlc gave me a sense of comfiness no other game really managed to hit since. maybe more games should just have parties with their cast /s well it only works here bc you had a three games worth of a journey but still

i miss the type of quest writing TES used to have, skyrim ones felt so generic in comparison. whodunit one is probably best, but there were quite a few where you kind of... engage with them naturally ig? like you go to sleep in an inn, and then the inn (which is on a boat) gets hijacked. that kind of stuff
visually the characters are uggo and the fucking. everything levels up alongside you system was very dumb
i liked the aesthetics otherwise, somehow i remember the blooming apple trees really well

its... ok. idk what to say. everyone has probably played it by now. i dont really miss my time with it ngl but it was fun when i first played it

man the level where you don't know where susan's things are, but you need to make like. a cup of tea or smth. and she loses more and more energy as she can't find the milk and other items and has a breakdown if she can't make it before her energy runs out is still the best representation of depression in videogames
i remember some horror sequences well still
i liked the grim tone of the game and i thought the graphics, however limited, matched it. yeah the walk animation / speed kinda irked but not too bad
susan and mitzi's friendship was great but the susan lesbophobia moment is still so funny kdfjdfs
