      I’m also one of that small number. It’s actually my favorite in the series.

      Mass Effect 2 is also my least favorite in the series, so I know I’m in the minority for both franchises.

        If they hadn’t reused the maps it’d been remembered as one of the greats.

        I also thought the balance on Nightmare or whatever was an atrocious mix of ubertank enemies and getting one-shot by rogues but the actual story and companions were fantastic.

        If you play it after coming off Mass Effect 1, the “every colony bunker or mine is one of three options” regardless of the planet just becomes part of that Old BioWare’s aesthetic.

      I guess that makes me number 3?

      The ending was a bit silly, but the Qunari storyline was fucking incredible.

        When I found out that fight with Orsino had been mandated by higher ups who demanded another boss fight be added, it explained so much.

          What exactly do you mean by that? Like, he could have indeed been a well meaning mage just trying to live under templar thumbs? Instead of also being exactly the smoking gun?

            The Orsino fight doesn’t make much sense if you side with the mages - there was no reason for him to go Akira monster when he did. Even BioWare acknowledged how little sense it made, in a conversation you can have with Varric in Inquisition.
