Nice to see you enjoyed Mass effect 2 so much.

Anyway should I just get 2 without playing the first? How would the story pan out that way?

There isn't a huge effect from ME1 beyond the bonuses you get from the start. It is mostly just a few lines of dialogue here and there and a few minor side missions. Playing ME 1 will make ME 2 slightly more enjoyable, but it will still be a fantastic game

May get it next week friday, since it's Half-term and I want to treat myself.
