User blog comment:Darkshark74/How Or When Did You First Get Into To Mass Effect?/@comment-1691295-20120211190935

Hadn't played an RPG in a long time, was getting nostalgic for one. Had previously preferred Final Fantasy series, so I was looking at Lost Odyssey, but then I thought of Mass Effect, which I knew nothing about. Checked out a few reviews and was swayed by the character customisation/morality angle, and, I'm somewhat ashamed to admit, the fancy lens flares.

Never looked back.
