I have finished 2 plays, and am currently on a third. I have hit a few bugs, nothing to earth shattering, and usually a quick load from recent save fixes it. This for me isn't that far out of the realm of normal for a large new game launch. I understand some people are having game stopping bugs and crashes so as they can't play, but SO FAR.....knock on a HUGE piece of wood.....I have been having minimal issues. I am thinking of doing a ME1, 2, 3, then MEA again after patches and dlc run, but haven't decided 100%.
And yeah, I have the MEHEM----Mass Effect Happy Ending mod....only ME mod I have installed, but couldn't stand the stock ME3 ending....I admit I am not 100% happy with the mod ending, BUT it is better than the stock, though I will admit I have only managed to play ME3 to the end once...got to Citadel dlc one other time, but the stock ending turned me off it that bad...
As a comparison I have probably 20-30 plays finished in ME2, and amost 10 character completed ME1 with 4 or 5 max level characters...

I think I am in the minority with the original trilogy pts.
Don't get me wrong - I love them. Just once I played the stories I never really felt the desire or need to replay them.
I have done but with a year or so break between them and all up I think Ive played the entire trilogy maybe 3 complete pts.
Same with Dragon Age.
I think it is the continual conversation in this one that is keeping me engaged. I love that there doesn't feel like long, boring stretches of no dialogue. I don't hate the combat either, loving pull and throw combo - but I didn’t dislike the combat in the previous games either. This one is just different. 3rd PT in a row and I don't feel done yet. I have never got through 2 complete runs one after the other for any of the games. DA or ME.
For me its the difference between loving Commander Shepard, which I totally always will and adoring SisRyder, which is also the truth. I love the original but for some reason that I can't explian, bugs, pathetic Liam romance and all, I adore this game.
Now if they would just fix those two nuances I guess I would be in mass effect heaven 😙😙😙😙
Graphics still OK for me in ME1...
Helps if you load the HD graphics mod!
