DEAR MASS EFFECT 2: WHY AM I NOT ABLE TO INVERT THE X AXIS
SERIOUSLY, WHY
No, really, this game allows you to choose the sex of the main character and customise his or her appearance to a considerable degree and alter your armour and choose which skills to improve when you level up, options options everywhere, and yet they couldn't include an

It prolly didn't help that I made my Shepard look like the fugliest woman EVER, and that somehow, in that game, I became inexplicably WORSE at shooting than in any other game where you shoot ever. I mean worse than Uncharted! And that's saying something.
...you should play Dragon Age. f!Hawke in Dragon Age 2 is AMAZING. JUST SAYIN'.

(Like you, I am worse at aiming in this than I am in Uncharted. I didn't even know that was possible.)

Yeah seriously! My bf looks on aghast every Wednesday, cos I play Uncharted online with two friends then, and we like to play on Crushing for some reason, and every match we die in the most hilarious fashions (CRUSHING IS HARD, WHO KNEW) and he's just like HOW DO YOU FIND THIS FUN!? but we all piss ourselves laughing at how shit we are XDD s'great.

As for male/female characters. I generally got for male when I see the character as an avatar for myself (Saints Row 2, Pokémon), but for games where you have a basically set character that you can alter a little (i.e. actual role playing/ character (who is not you) creation instead of player avatar) (something more like Mass Effect or Skyrim) I think I might play as a female character in the next game like that I play, just for a change.

I don't know about the male Shepard, but female Shepard's voice acting is really good. I think she's worth trying out.

So, backstory? Chosen survivor of Virmire? Class? Did you pick a romantic interest or hold off? (I'm a lady Spaceborn Infiltrator War Hero who saved Ashley! And generally I go with Liara as a love interest because cute blue alien lady eeeee.) I'm also Paragon as you are, though I can't resist some of the sillier Renegade options occasionally.
Miranda's...well, she's just like that, it's no commentary on your being supernice or anything (she doesn't like people getting close). Jacob's nice and loyal and easy-going, but he has the extremely unfortunate condition of being nice and loyal and easy-going with no other notable characteristics. Poor man.
Cerberus is a bag of dicks, they just hire some okay people. DO NOT BE TAKEN IN.

...oh. Oh! I hadn't realised you had to download the prequel comic from the PlayStation Store, so the game just decided what had happened for me. And I got the game preowned, so the code may well not be valid any more. Oh, well. I'm a lady Colonist Soldier War Hero, and apparently the game decided by default (or at random? I've no idea) that I saved Kaidan and got the Council killed.
I shall be wary of Cerberus; thank you for the advice! But I'll still be really nice to everyone there.

I'm going to see if I can get my money back and buy a new copy instead.
EDIT: NO WAIT APPARENTLY ALL THE CERBERUS NETWORK CODES EXPIRED IN JANUARY ANYWAY, WHAT THE HELL
EDIT AGAIN: ...e-except I just tried the code in my box anyway, in a fit of desperation, and it seems to be downloading even though it's apparently an expired code from a preowned game? So I had the extraordinary luck of buying a game previously owned by someone game-savvy enough to trade in but not game-savvy enough to redeem their code? And, moreover, that code still works despite being past the expiration date on the box ( ... )

(As you have a PS2, I have to ask: did you ever play Ōkami? It's my favourite videogame in the world.)

I have not! I will look it up, though - I do hope to hook up the PS2 again sometime in the near future!
