You cannot.

You are trapped here forever.

Even if you stop playing and move on with your life, all it takes is one moment, one single lapse in judgement, and just when you think you got out, it pulls you back in.


Do not resist , for there is no salvation.

Can confirm, salvation is not an option in this particular case. Absolute immersion is unavoidable! God I love this game so much

Just completed my first playthrough. I feel like I need to take a day and re-think life, and what it means. Holy fuck the devs knew what they were doing when they wrote this.

I read this in my first playthrough of LE1, and I thought, "ha! Thousands of hours? Ridiculous."

Well... Six complete playthroughs, a couple replays of 2 and 3, 1,100 hours, an insanity run, paragon and renegade runs, all achievements unlocked, and all classes but soldier played later, and now I get it.

I hate Turians.

But seriously, I'm currently writing out an outline for a 7 part story starting with my Shepard's childhood at 4 fucking years old because she has so thoroughly invaded my brain. It's over 8k words already, with only 3 parts fully outlined, and I'm finally getting to the stuff where the games begin.

In conclusion: I don't think I'll ever be normal again.

I just hit 100% achievements today. I have logged over 1,150 hours on this game just on Steam, I had a large amount of hours on Xbox before I switched to the Pc and now my son is playing on PS4 and I am helping him, so I probably have closer to 2000 hours.... Not to mention fanfic reading and convincing friends to play. I NEED OUT LOL
