I have recently finished all the Dragon Age series. Then, I started to Mass Effect series from the first game. Most people says ME series is better than DA. But after 7 hours, I kind of found the gam...

Mass Effect is my all-time favorite series, so that's pretty much fighting words pardner 😉
Short answer is: YES.
But real answer is: it depends on what you like. Since you like DA, I would think it would jibe.
How far into the game are you (i.e. what planets have you visited, main quests done, characters in your squad)? Yes, it is a little slow when you are doing all the running around the Citadel on the initial set of sidequests. And if you spend all your time doing the open-world things (scanned planets and driving around in the Mako). But the main story is terrific.
And a big part of the ME draw is the development of the relationships with your companions over the 3-games. I say it is well worth continuing. But only you can decide.
FYI, IMO ME1 has the best story, but also the most antiquated game mechanics (and inventory control).
I just left Citadel as becoming a Spectre and getting 3 of my new companions. 🙂
Ok, you are just getting going. Though, TBH, becoming a Spectre, though early, to me is one of the series highlights.
From there, things pick up the pace ... especially if you want it to (i.e. do you concentrate on the main quest, or like to smell the flowers?). As a completionist, I do everything, including dropping down to all available worlds. But even if you don't, I would advise you to follow-up on all the side-quests anyway (some ping when you scan the planet?). Especially anything with a contact on the Citadel. Most of these little nuggets are revisited through all three games. Though sometimes trivial, they nevertheless provide continuity, a warm feeling/knowing smile, and a few chuckles along the way.
And, yes, the story itself does gain momentum. Don't drop the game 🙂
Thank you! I trust your advise and I will keep playing. Nothing to lose 👍
hey did you finish the game. I feel the same. Just became Spectre and I tried running around different planets. Ugly landscape, vehicle is clunky and all enemies oneshot me. At this point I'm just gonna finish the game for ME2,3
