Well consider that the 2nd book (Mass Effect: Ascension) came out before Mass Effect 2. I think it did a pretty good job exploring the Illusive Man without breaking anything we learn from him in 2 while also continuing on plot threads from the previous book and Mass Effect 1.

I always found the fact that the senior Snatcher was made to look like Mel Gibson amusing in so many ways.

I found my biggest issue was the weird new balancing that came with scaling elemental weapons.

I was actually quite curious on what the differences were. Since I only have a PS3 and no beta codes in sight.

Honestly I felt that their best romances came from their Baldur's Gate 2 era.

It was subtle, deep, and fit into the characters that traveled with you. You had to seriously dedicate time into understanding each person and could just as easily fail out of one if you responded in a way that's not so obvious. (For example:…

Well in all fairness it is Kill la Kill.

Not so much horror as more Schadenfreude worthy smiles.
