The most virtuous child in the entire world.
Inquisition felt so bad to play. The actual combat was all low numbers, plinking at oversized health pools. I remember getting to a pool area filled with dragons on the first map and stopping there because actually playing felt so slow and awful.

I got ME:LE on the christmas sale and I've only managed to finish it now. Here's my thought's on the final mission:

also don't worry about guns if you're playing as Infiltrator. Save up for the Black Widow from the spectre store on the Citadel, and once you have it, you're set for life. All other guns are a downgrade.

Advice I should have listened to. I bought the N7 sniper rifle and fully upgraded it first. I was playing on normal mode and couldn't understand why headshots with disruptor ammo were still leaving fully shielded centurions with a couple of units of health.

I decided to play the legendary edition again, I've played ME1 twice before, but ME2/3 only once. Should I just skip ME1? Just thinking about the mako sections makes me sad.

The Mako got updated a little to make it better to use. Some planets still suck but you can always look up which planets are actually worth visiting.

Shepard being the protagonist in 4 hundreds of years later would be incredibly stupid but also something that a marketing PowerPoint would say is important to get numbers, so yeah that tracks on both levels. Lame (if true)

No you don't just skip ME1 that's crazy. You can add some mods to make them a bit quicker.

There's a new threat to the galaxy the, uh, Mutilators! They're way bigger than the Reapers and fly around on ominous tentacle smoke clouds. You know the ones, they were in every movie from like 2005 to 2015. Also Andromeda but we don't talk about Andromeda.

Somehow, Shepherd has returned! You discover later in a series of audio logs that the Reapers made a failsafe Shepherd Clone in a secret vault in case the Mutilators ever arrived, as they predicted 20 billion years ago! The Reapers knew the only thing that could defeat the Mutilators is the thing that defeated them: Humanity. Specifically that one commander.

That piece of trash made out of tissue paper whose guns sound like a wet noodle?

The mako is a waaaaaay better vehicle, it just got handed terrible, godawful random generated maps for all the optional exploration missions. The main missions where you whip it out are all fun, even if the skyway was built a little funny and has a tendency to toss you flying.

Thankfully, the hammerhead is a couple dlc missions only.

The biggest tragedy of ME2 is that they tied the best DLC, Overlord, to the worst mechanic, Hammerhead. There's not too much driving in it, but the silly Hammerhead phyics clash with the serious theme of the story.

The Legendary Mako is fine and so is the Nomad, it's just the Hammerhead that is the red haired stepchild of the vehicle family

Actually the Legendary Hammerhead is even worse than before because of that goddamned noise
