I'm at 2360 now and there is nothing left to gain.
I'm at the Invasion of the Illusive Man now.
I don't play ME1 because of the lack of controller support so a big number of my team is automatically dead. I use mods in ME2 and 3 to unlock console versions of the games but can't seem to get it to work on ME1.
Tali and Miranda are dead so no Geth fleet. The Geth fleet would easily get my 3100 too.
It sucks because my rep has been maxed out forever but it doesn't help hardly anything important.
I saved Earth last game at 1995 EMS so I'm curious what 2360 will get.
Would love to see the synth option opened up.
It sucks finishing the game at level 63 and not getting a good ending.
ME1 doesn't affect the series too much because ME3 came out before ME1 was ported to PS3, and BioWare didn't want to disadvantage too many players.The choices you make in ME1 are not necessarily good or bad, but will change the context somewhat in ME3 missions. For instance:
You'll miss out on Wrex for skipping ME1, but you don't lose too many war assets for that. In fact, Wreav is a lot dumber than Wrex, which means you can get more war assets out of him if you play your hand right.
If you want to skip Mass Effect 1, you can always just download someone else's save file from http://masseffectsaves.com/ to get a more complete playthrough.
