Thanks again. :)

The endings can overshadow the story somewhat, but that shouldn't overshadow your decision in buying it. With the Extended Cut, it's not as large a problem as it was. Still flawed and worthy of analysis, but not tangibly horrible. The rest of the game certainly has its share of flaws as well, but as a larger whole, Mass Effect is a fun and engaging RPG. Also, I like the addition of story mode, because it gives us more options. It's a great idea, and I'd love to see other games do something similar by giving us multiple slants of the same experience.
