107 saves later, I have finished Mass Effect 1 (Legendary Edition)! Only took me 4 years, gg. But it was such a lovely trip down memory lane. Pretty much completed everything except for a couple of minerals that were not found. Next stop! ME2~

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays: Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink. If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business. Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.
