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

I’ve never played mass effect but have always been interested. Never did so because I heard the ending was terrible.
So, from what I see from this list of kids, is it better to maybe play for the first time with mods instead of vanilla? Seems so to me.

What gets lost in the ending discourse of 3 is how the entire game acts as endings to various character arcs and subplots among the trilogy. Some conclusions are utterly spectacular, while others like the ending of the game - can disappoint. Though I will say the Extended Cut fixed a lot of issues fans had with the original “choose a color” ending, and like I said above I was pretty happy with the ending mods I installed.
Some mods like the Diversification Project are great for a first playthrough, while others like the Risky Suicide Mission definitely aren’t. The vanilla experience is great on its own but mods can help fill out the universe where the dev team was too crunched or forgot to work on.
