Call it a Mulligan - March 30, 2008 -

Ashwin | Gaming

Well darn it, I died again.

In the little gaming time that I get these days I’ve been slowly traversing the massive world of Mass Effect. Without giving any of the plot away, I’m on the planet of Noveria and have essentially been stuck at the pivotal part of the game for the past couple of months now. I’ve tried various tactics to get past this point and all of my efforts have been faced with the inevitable fade to black.

After reading other gamers posts about the path they chose, turns out that I might have made a mistake going to Noveria with a fairly low-level and skilled character. The easier choice, of course, is to reload a save game from before I arrived on this planet and trying one of other destinations, but then I felt that I hadn’t really built up the characters as well as I probably could’ve.

To that end, I’ve decided to call it a mulligan and restart the game with a new character and try a different approach to see if I can not only get farther in the game and finish it before Mass Effect 2 is released.

Do you ever find yourself thinking that your choices in a game weren’t particularly good and do you restart or just salvage what you can?

Cheers
