Shout out to EA for f**king up my achievement progress.

By far one of the best gaming experiences I have ever had the chance to enjoy.
Great gameplay and incredible world (or galaxy) building.

There was almost never a dull moment. With the expectation of cheesy, bad-ass character interactions and one-liners, it was easy for me to adjust myself to that setting and not get phased by something that most people may or may not deem as 'bad' writing.

The role-playing is extremely immersive in my opinion, something that modern RPGs fail to succeed in.
Even though I was playing as a pre-existing person, BioWare did a fantastic job allowing players to really make Shepard their own.
Regardless of character appearance, background, and status, at some point it felt like I was no longer playing as Shepard, but I was playing as myself. That is a huge win in my book.
The fact that the choices you make matter immensely throughout the entirety of the three games is amazing in itself and something I am convinced that other developers will never be able to pull off to this scale, although I wish they would try.
The only games that have come close are episodic narratives such as Telltale's Walking Dead.

I'm almost sad to have finished this trilogy because I fear nothing will live up to my experience.
Given the backlash Andromeda has received, there is more than likely no comparison to the trilogy (at least not yet?) but I'm still eager to give it a try and will do my best to separate the experiences and make sure it does not tarnish the time I have spent as Shepard.

If you want to experience playing out your own action/adventure movie, I recommend you play this legendary trilogy.
