I really loved Mass Effect 2, but the whole thing felt like a setup; a setup to the end of the game, where the values and strength of my team that I had forged over countless hours was being tested. I lost
a lot of good men that day, fortunately they were all expendable (Legion, Thane, somebody else..
). But even the climax of ME2 felt like a setup to ME3 where all of my decisions came full circle. I'd witnessed the death of a friend, the love of a Quarian, and the rise and fall of my Shepard. I never finished the game though, people made too much of a bitch-fit over the ending for me to finish it. In my head, my team went on a suicide mission, and we saved the universe at the cost of our lives.
