Mass Effect is one of the greatest game series of all time. Mass Effect 2 is one of the greatest games of all time. The conversations are gameplay, and everything feels extremely important. You build up a connection with your squad. seeing them die becomes that much harder.
Would you say it's similar to The Walking Dead games? As in, there's a lot of focus on narrative and having conversations with people. I understand that it's part of the gameplay but if it overstays its welcome I just start zoning out and not really caring anymore.
