Yeah the final sequence of Mass Effect is the best final sequence in the history of gaming. The difference between Bethesda and Bioware for me is soul. Whenever I play a Bethesda game I always marvel at how well put together the game is but I'm also wondering why at the same time their titles don't hold my interest. Mass Effect's story was flat out exceptional. No title from Bethesda has ever produced a story or universe near as griping. Only the tedious nature of some of the sidequests keeps Mass Effect from approaching perfection.
Mass Effect 2 is the number one game on my most anticipated list. If they simply add more variance to the sidequests of Mass Effect 2, I'll be happy. I can't wait to see what Bioware does with the updated UE3 engine in Mass Effect 2. I have a feeling we will see more large scale battles in Mass Effect 2 than we did in the original Mass Effect. I only hope Mass Effect 2's inevitable cast additions live up to the standards set by the original Mass Effect cast.

Yes, I put the Mass Effect in my post as much as possible just for you. Where ever an "it", "the game", "its predecessor", etc. would have fit just fine I typed Mass Effect all the way out just for you my friend. I hope you didn't eat anything too spicy
