Just finished the original Mass Effect Trilogy for the second time! It took my breath away. Easily one of the greatest video game series ever made.

The graphics still hold up and the story is breathtaking.

Everyone should play this game.

Damn I must be on my 4/5th playthrough now.

You see Shep breathe. It cycled back to the beginning of the game when the Reapers arrive. The only thing that's missing is Anderson saying
