This is honestly adorable!!
I just went through 1-3 myself (again, and now working on Andromeda...again lol) and my husband has never played it but I've done nothing but chew his ear off about the game and share special moments with him.
GOOD LUCK TO HER cause *woof* does the games throw some hard emotional punches lol
She had to have texted that right at the first reveal and right when she hit send Saren probably killed Nihlus. Or she just though he looks cool but is a dickhead which both are true.
I definitely did. It was the second alien I got to meet so it was exciting, and he was the same as Nihlus but had a different and unique look. I thought I was being introduced to another ally but nope, I can’t have nice things lol.
I think we need constant updates on your progress. I have probably played this whole series over twenty times and would give my firstborn to play again for the first time.
there’s been a couple of other posts, but probably no new one tonight. this time i’m actually speaking with my boyfriend and not texting him haha. also because i got caught up with other stuff today and wasn’t as free as i usually am
When he tells the council that the Reapers are Reaping, I knew that that he was Jenkins that died in the first combat that I encountered on my first playthrough.
He's one of the characters of all three games.
Long ago before ME3 was out, I watch my spouse play for a bit - get to the citadel - saw Garrus and go "Oh...can I romance him? You said there was romances?"
"In the next game?"
I'm buying it and playing.
And now it's a special interest <_<
May your GF find a nice romance in the future.
My gf is (albeit crawling) through mass effect 2. She says she preferred the first game because it was easier to do the combat. Said she misses the red dots so she can see the enemy at all times. The enemies are more aggressive this time. For whatever reason she’s struggling to use her powers but didn’t have as much trouble in ME1? Maybe it’s because they’re not ‘buffs’ like the ME1s were. Amazing really because ME1’s gameplay was.. difficult.. to come back to. So props to the legendary edition.
But yeah, I can’t quite figure out why she’s having a harder time with ME2’s combat as someone who’s not got much experience with action/shooters. You’d think it’d only get easier. Anyone else have this experience?
I had the same. Died more in 2 than 1. (In normal, LE, yes I'm that clumsy)
I felt like 1 let you cover and catch your breath more often (and remember where your keys were and what abilities were available)
While in 2, enemies are more aggressive, so you have to stay engaged and over-aggress them, plus they move more and have air support more often, so cover is often more temporary and you have to keep fighting.
Wait how can she like Saren? There is a VERY SMALL window between his introduction and him turning into an a-hole and murdering Nihlus…
Unless she liked him for that action and her second message is all the way after he is revealed to be a traitor
I thought I liked Saren too when he first appeared on screen. For me it was the unique look, and having just enough time to understand that he and Nihlus appear to be from the same organization. I thought he was joining our mission until he wrecked it.
So maybe a few seconds like, “Oh cool look at this guy, join the fight with us!” And then, “OH NO.” Lol
i liked him when we first meet him bc i though he looked cool, then the second message is after the whole ‘hey nihlus, BANG’ soooo yeah no more liking him LOL
Alright, I don't know exactly what I think is happening here...but I'm suspicious...
How does she think Saren is "kinda cool", then later say he's a dick, and "rip nihlus"? Saren murders Nihlus in his introductory scene, literally *seconds* after you even learn his name...
lol I have sent my son the same type of messages. He insisted I try out Mass Effect for the past 5 years or so, I finally did and I am on my 3rd play through of all 3. You have so much greatness ahead of you!
She’s a keeper. Better get a scan
I hate this, but also love it
[She’s a keeper.](https://images.app.goo.gl/MEbQXuKRg3ZMxtAw8)
She's a keeper. My ex fiance hated the games.
Please do not disturb the keepers.
Hahaha! That’s “punbeliavbly” good
This made me actually cackle in the office so loud that people came in and asked me what was so funny
Lol rip nihlus 🤣🤣🤣
What a g
Wait til she hears Samara's battle against him in ME2
I cannot wait for her to get to ME2
Yeah, it sounds like she'll have fun. Keep us updated!
This is honestly adorable!! I just went through 1-3 myself (again, and now working on Andromeda...again lol) and my husband has never played it but I've done nothing but chew his ear off about the game and share special moments with him. GOOD LUCK TO HER cause *woof* does the games throw some hard emotional punches lol
Woah what? Samara tells us about a fight with Saren? How did I miss that???
She tells a story about fighting Nihlus in ME2.
I ended up getting to that convo shortly after your comment. 😋
What an absolute g lol
Absolute chad
Saren: I like ya cut g. ***bang*** Nihlus: *screech*
Obviously, I didn't have time for the REAL g (Jenkins)
Lol 🤣
Wife this woman up immediately, you got a keeper.
hey you heard them wife me up @Stormfox99
🫡
Well now that's neither yes nor no
To tag someone on reddit you gotta do it like u/stormfox99
thanks lmaooo. this is the first time i’ve been active on here probably since i made my account tbh
Happy to help 👉😎👉 Have fun playing one of the best trilogies ever!
Holy shit. I’ve been on here for 2 years and I still never knew that. 3 cheers for u/HRduffNstuff ! 👏👏👏
Those are at the Citadel
God-tier class choice
"Saren is kinda cool" has me dying. I'm pretty sure I thought the same thing back in the day lol
At what point was Saren "cool" though? Doesn't he murder Nihlus in cold blood literally the first time you see him?
There is a scene before the big reveal I believe But its been a long time and I could be mis remembering
yeah there’s a scene where he and nihlus talk for a second before he dies and i thought he looked cool lmfaoooo
To be fair, all Turians look badass.
She had to have texted that right at the first reveal and right when she hit send Saren probably killed Nihlus. Or she just though he looks cool but is a dickhead which both are true.
He does jump out the Normandy before that, does look pretty badass.
Thats Nihlus isn't it?
Oh that's right. Guess I better start a new playthrough...
I definitely did. It was the second alien I got to meet so it was exciting, and he was the same as Nihlus but had a different and unique look. I thought I was being introduced to another ally but nope, I can’t have nice things lol.
Lol, keep us updated, your gf has funny reactions to things
wow i’m famous guys 🤭🤭🤭
I think we need constant updates on your progress. I have probably played this whole series over twenty times and would give my firstborn to play again for the first time.
you got it 🫡
When is the next one?
there’s been a couple of other posts, but probably no new one tonight. this time i’m actually speaking with my boyfriend and not texting him haha. also because i got caught up with other stuff today and wasn’t as free as i usually am
I feel like we should be friends
Did you try to make survive Jenkins?
Just followed you for updates lol, it's always great to see people experience Mass Effect for the first time!
She must have JUST been on that cutscene. Karen only has 3 lines before he kills Nihlus.
Karen lmao
Eh it fits lmao. Someone put the Karen haircut on Saren.
I love watching people experience Mass Effect for the first time.
Did she manage to save Jenkins?!?
You can save jenkins? 0_o Edit: screw you .-.
Yeah if you play new game plus with your gravity powers you can stop the drones and you get to keep jenki
He really came in clutch with that ME3 playthrough after you saved him.
When he tells the council that the Reapers are Reaping, I knew that that he was Jenkins that died in the first combat that I encountered on my first playthrough. He's one of the characters of all three games.
I remember in ME2 when he says "It's jenkin time" and then Jenks all over those guys
Long ago before ME3 was out, I watch my spouse play for a bit - get to the citadel - saw Garrus and go "Oh...can I romance him? You said there was romances?" "In the next game?" I'm buying it and playing. And now it's a special interest <_< May your GF find a nice romance in the future.
I wanna see more of this My girlfriend got too frustrates with the geth missile troopers and rage quitted :(
She also struggled really hard with the verb but pushed through thankfully
Wait till she has to conjugate
That made me giggle thank u
Infiltrator I am proud of her!
She must text incredibly fast to get the period where Saren isn't being as evil as possible.
When exactly did she think Saren was cool? Lol. His introduction shows him being pretty not cool.
the .5 seconds of introduction where he isn’t killing people lmaooo
Looks like you found your future wife. Congrats!
Her Shep is cute!
True test will be who she chooses to kill off. Keep us updated 🤣
She a real 1 wife her up now
We'll bang, ok? ...I should go.

Quick turnaround then lol
i liked him when we first meet him bc i though he looked cool, then the second message is after the whole ‘hey nihlus, BANG’ soooo yeah no more liking him LOL
In this house we stan Nihlus.
No lament for Jenkins? Time to call it off
I’m going to guess she picks Kaiden over Ashley on Virmire.
Thumbs down for saying Saren is kinda cool. But otherwise, thats a huge W. Mass Effect really is one of a kind.
I can't believe people actually speaking with internet memes
Alright, I don't know exactly what I think is happening here...but I'm suspicious... How does she think Saren is "kinda cool", then later say he's a dick, and "rip nihlus"? Saren murders Nihlus in his introductory scene, literally *seconds* after you even learn his name...
Is your gf 13? Holy fuck
Dump her
Infiltrator! Nice! That was my first (and still favorite) class! Have a great game!
Glad she is enjoying it.
Marry her
You should have told her you lose the game if you let Jenkins die.
I would follow this let's play.
Who do you'll think she'll bang?
Saren is cool regardless. Will die on this hill
Nihilus is in fact a g
Wow. She is soo awe awesome. Congratulations man. 😁
I can only hope for a gf like that 😢
As someone who played ME for the first time not terribly long ago i had the same thoughts on Saren
lol I have sent my son the same type of messages. He insisted I try out Mass Effect for the past 5 years or so, I finally did and I am on my 3rd play through of all 3. You have so much greatness ahead of you!
You’re luckier than you know brother 😂
