Out of all the articles whose sole purpose seems to be to generate some traffic via namedropping Mass Effect 2, this one is particularly pathetic. Just lol.
Personally, when I play the game for the first time, it´s in the vein of how I would act in the shoes of the protagonist. For any potential replay, the more detached approach it is, especially since I can´t really "roleplay myself" anymore for the reason of having metaknowledge gained in the first playthrough.Some like ROLE-playing, others prefer role-PLAYING.
Or, as is the case of Mass Effect, those who find female character has more … character (mainly thanks to voice acting).Then there are those who play a female character simply because they like to look at a female derrière.
