I just looked at the clips in the OP and, not having played Mass Effect 1, I don't feel the omissions. Yet I don't like the voice acting at all. Too freeking "american soldier" type. Could I say, generic? I would contrast this to the voice of the guy in the trailers for Deus Ex 3 which has feeling. The story: no surprise anywhere, or none that got through to me. No unexpected, no surprise in the whole narative. At the end, the guy sais that the human fleet, joined by others, defeated the baddie. Then he sais that as a thanxs, the humans are alowed to have a member on the council thing. Is that cocky or what? Are the humand the strongest race but not on the council cause they are young? If they are not the strongest, not the wisest, not the oldest, woudn't at least mentioning the other races be a requirement for politeness? And how come the human who would fill such an important role as the first human representative on the coucil gets to be decided by a 29 years old guy? - Can I say that some parts of the story lack common sense and that I don't like that?
Edited some errors.
