Milkman, I wouldn't say we were "all anticipating the Extended Cut with careful optimism", I'm sadly anticipating the Extended Cut with careful pessimism lol, and I know that others share that view, if you haven't already watch Angry Joe's video on his thoughts of the Extended Cut, he puts the point across very well. It also includes a fake, but quite funny preview of the extended cut at the end, so if you not interested in the whole video watch that at least.

And yeah, I haven't found my self playing ME1 + 2 either since ME3s ending, and this really says something - coming from someone who's replayed Dragon Age 2 many, many times lol.

And wow Diyartifact, you make a really good point.. and I hadn't noticed that before. Where ME1 and 2 you could do the major missions in what ever order you wished, ME3 has all the missions in a set order, which is, when you consider Dragon Age 1/2, KOTOR etc, very new for a BioWare game. There was of course another critisism that never came to light because of the ending, they really, really lessened the conversation options we had. Where in ME1 + 2 we had 3 main choices, plus 'investigate' in nearly all conversations, ME3 most conversations had 2 choices with no 'investigate'.
