Mass Effect 2

Why is it that the game makes me suck up to npc so much?

Without much times spent on the actual mission i wander through the galaxies in search for more recruits that i barely touched since the whole game is quite easy even on hardcore (though you still need 2 npc mates with you) unlike the previous bioware title DA which you actually need your npc mates.

After you dragged your Normandy ship around recruiting, the game actually want you to makes them loyal to you by doing personal missions for each of them. It is somewhat fun doing them but it is quite unrelated to the whole plot since they are just random recruit with minimum past backgrounds. I am giving it a 7 because the story could have been so much more but they made it out to be a disappointment after the hype they made for this enemy.

This game seriously revolved around the recruits, though if this is merely a bridge to ME3 and that all the recruiting stop here then i have no complain.
