    Mass Effect trilogy for the first time. So many people have been trying to put me on it for years, finally giving it a go. Heard really good stuff about it

      Are you playing the Legendary editions? The first one definitely didn’t age super well, even on LE. the mako sections are not great, the combat is decent with the LE changes, and random planet exploration is not very good either.

      but the story, character stuff, and the lore of the world are very good, and it’s a great kickstart to the universe and your investment in the rest of the trilogy, 2 is SIGNIFICANTLY better than the first and by the third you’re really invested and the gameplay has made great strides. It’s a little tough to get into, but it does really snowball into something incredible.

      Also, in the first one, there is a point of no return that the game doesn’t warn you about explicitly, I missed out on doing DLC or character specific side quests because I went too far and couldn’t return, be careful.

        Legendary edition. Only a couple hours in the first one and enjoying the story so far. Thanks for the heads up though - I’m trying to avoid looking at any guides and wanting to experience on my own but should I look when specifically in the game there is a part of no return?

          At a certain point you’ll need to go to a planet named Ilos. Do what you want to do before you go there and you’ll be good.
