[QUOTE="Inotian"]That's one of my favorite things about ME1. How you can delve into the lore and experience of a galaxy filled with different planets and environments. Going from an ice cold terrain to an lava filled warzone was awesome. Pretty much why i rank the series ME1 > ME2 >>>>>>>>ME3. (Note , I'm not one who hated the ME3 ending, I just didn't like the game as much as I should've.)

ME1 also had the most contrived plotline, the worst combat, the worst glitches, the worst character developmen (Drew Karpyshyn seems to really suck at character development), and the most stilted dialogue where Shepard has his or her moments of ignorance that step out of character as an alliance officer. The very notion that Saren is searching for the Conduit is illogical as well as he really doesn't need it with the allies he had. He could have just taken over, never losing his specter status, taken the council by suprise, and Shepard would have never faced him. The twist that the Conduit a back door is very silly, while it may work for the heroes and explain the Protheans resistance to give the next cycle a chance well, the villian never really needed it. Also a huge plot hole in the end where somehow Joker knows to go to the Citadel from Ilos, without any explanation whatsoever that he knew what the Conduit did and without orders from Shepard. A big example where a plot hole causes Deus Ex Machina. However, Vigil an dhis data file is also a clear Deus Ex Machina, but an example of a well executed one. It may be ME1's strongest moment. And while Kai Leng was a lacking villian in ME3, Benezia is downright the worst character in the series. And ME3 is the best, and will be especially after the Leviathan DLC and the Omega DLC are released. It is the only game in the series that has both strong plot progression and good character development.So instead of accepting my opinion as my own , you decide to attack it with a paragraph?Bro, ME1 was the best (For me, once again) because it was the only one that was an full blown RPG. Exploring the Universe with my character, getting new armor and weapons, (even if they did look disgusting) and customizing with my squad made ME1 a great time for me. ME2 went straight for the action route, which is fine, but some of the impact of the first was lost for me due to that. Not to say ME2 was a bad game, it was great. I did hate the squad however , other than Garrus, Tali , Kasumi, and Mordin.
ME3 was good, during my first playthrough. And I know that as a closer to the trilogy, it had to go off in a big bang. But for me, it didn't reach that level. Most of the game I felt like "If they did this, it could've been better." Or "That made no sense, couldn't she have blah blah." Mass Effect isn't known for a tight story, but there are down right idiotic moments in ME3. Also , being a Renegade sucks. REALLY sucks.
Look, I'm not discrediting anyone's opinion, IMO ME1 was the best , then 2, then 3.
