Comment on Revisiting the Mass Effect Trilogy (with mods!)

I tried to do a playthrough again when it was free from prime, but I never finished 3. Knowing the lackluster ending waiting for me was a real downer. Also the early game is a bit of a slog.

Yeah honestly on a playthrough of 1 I wasn’t engaged in the story missions until Virmire. The pace dragged & all the bland corridors weren’t helping.

Yeah, at some stage you realise all the generic missions have like three floor plans they cycle between and it gets boring.
That being said, I think the Citadel layout in 1 was by far the best. It actually felt like a 3D maze with a seedy underbelly and a rich upper crust, unlike the three halls of 2 and the disjointed sections of 3

1 was definitely heavy asset reuse and clunky mechanics, but it’s part of the charm at that point. I think 2 burned me out because I went overboard on scanning everything which gets really boring really quickly. Then facing more grind in 3 to get to a point where combat is actually fun, wasn’t worth it.

Is there a mod for that too?
