Mass Effect – The Best Moments In The Original Trilogy

The Choice on Virmire – Mass Effect

For those who played Mass Effect at the time and didn’t know what to expect, the consequences of certain actions didn’t really set in until Virmire. During the mission to destroy Saren’s base, Shepard must choose who to save – Kaidan or Ashley – while the other stays behind to detonate the bomb. No matter your choice, the fact that someone could die and there was nothing you could do to save them had finally become real. Suffice it to say that this would give even more weight to the suicide mission in Mass Effect 2.
