I played Mass Effect 1 and 2 and did 100% on both, and did alot of scanning, mining, all side missions and no one has died. My problem is that I did this on my gaming PC which I no longer have. We only have a PS3 now. I don't plan on building a new PC, and I don't have alot of free time between work, kids, and a property to maintain. My dilemma is if it is worth it to replay ME 2 on the PS3 just to recreate my character to import into ME 3, or does ME 3 really need to have a character imported to make the experience any better. Does it really matter in the end? There are alot of games I have yet to play and want to get caught up on, so it seems time is my biggest enemy....thoughts?
I'd say yes. If you don't play ME2 first when you jump into Mass Effect 3 the game assumes you've made all renegade choices and (ME2 spoilers) [spoiler] many of your squadmates didn't survive the suicide mission at the end of ME2 [/spoiler] , among other things. Having a save import from ME2 with your past choices will make the experience immensely better, in my opinion.
It's worth replaying 2 on the PS3. While it does skip a few minor details of the first game, the comic allows you to re-choose important decisions you may have made during ME1. ME3 goes as far as to include decisions from the DLC of ME2 into the game, and the default settings are terrible.
It's really too bad Bioware didn't incorporate a decision making option at the beginning of ME3 for newcomers or people that may finish ME3 and want to replay it differently without replaying ME1 & 2 all the way through again.
