Let's get some things out of the way first

picked male shepard because i'm not a tranny

Hated mass effect the first time I played it on xbox and sold it a few hours in, but for some reason it stuck in my mind, replayed it when it came out on PC and loved it.

I wish I could play this for the first time again

I had a similar feeling as well. Weirdly had that same feeling playing Mass Effect 1 originally.

If you were involved in the geth argument in that last thread then thank you, your posts killed a lot of batarians

There are only three kinds of Mass Effect threads.

1) waifu / ending wars
2) extranet role play
3) batarian shitposting

Prove me wrong by having a civilized discussion for once, Any Forums. JUST ONCE I BEG YOU.

He really does look better with that hair, even without the beard
Any mods that give him that hair?

Tali is a disgusting and smelly coomer
Still better than Liara with her non-stop simping and pathetic fake tits though

Used to love ME as a teenager now I think it's trash.

Fellas, does it need any mods or is it good to go?

The legendary edition worth I know allot of the mods are coming over at this rate.

First playthrough no mods.

It's a good game to do in longer doses. I have to play for 2+ hours whenever I do. It has a good level of lore and side quests without overwhelming the main story. Combat is tactical, but not so strategic that it's a chore. Strikes a good balance.
Heard the sequels weren't' good though. Don't know if I will play any after finishing 1.

2 is alright, more streamlined and polished, but also less ambitious and soulful.
3 has the best combat and mechanics, but the story is completely retarded.

The reapers motivations should've never been blatantly explained. They were better as an unknowable, lovecraftian horror. The explanation should've been hidden in bits and pieces throughout the three games and even then it still shouldn't have explained everything. Also the protheans should've been treated the same way and we never get to see their appearance or talk to a living one. Javik ruined them by making them into a boring dime a dozen militaristic empire instead of the gracious, nonviolent race they came across as in me1.
