The only exception to this is that you can do Legion's loyalty mission called A House Divided. Doing this right after getting the all-clear to pursue the Reaper IFF will not negatively impact the success rate. However, waiting too long to retrieve the IFF will result in crew members dying, but not your squadmates. Without spoiling too much, you'll have a chance to save everyone on your ship, especially Kelly Chambers.
However, doing so is tricky and is very time-sensitive. If you go straight to the Reaper IFF with having completed mission-critical quests, then the entire Normandy crew will live to see another day. The longer you wait, the more people will die, including our beloved Doctor Chakwas. All crew members MUST have the loyalty missions completed. Italicized means that's my primary choice when I play, but any of the characters shown will work.
Any loyal crew member will work, but I personally enjoy sending Mordin since he is a doctor, and in my head cannon, he's a good fit to help with trauma and shock. You'll want to make sure you have evened out abilities, such as tech and biotics, but really pick who you enjoy the most. Unlike the roles above; there are no lasting consequences on who you bring with you for the final fight as long as they are loyal.
With a game as consequence-heavy as Mass Effect, it's important to pay attention to the details hidden within character dialogue. From the first game until the very last, there are certain crew members you'll need to have with you for various missions. Some are required, but other times, missions can take a whole new turn with more context provided by key characters. In Mass Effect 1, for example, there is a small side mission to try to retrieve the body of a soldier, a wife to a man you'll meet in the Embassies in Mass Effect 1.
If you don't have Ashley in your party, your squadmates will say, "Wasn't that a part of Ashley's squad" and then proceed to say that she'll probably want to talk to him. That's a cue to do a swap out. In Mass Effect 2 and beyond, some missions are made all the better depending on the crew of choice, but loyalty missions will hard-lock choices for you.
This makes it easy not to accidentally do an important story part without the right party members. For Miranda's loyalty mission, if you try to talk to her contact on the Citadel mission, they will just ignore you while they are on their phone. You won't be able to start it without her, but other missions aren't quite so clear-cut. These cues are also important for those aforementioned ship upgrades.
If you're talking to a character and they mention there is an area of improvement or they need certain food ingredients, listen to that. That's BioWare nudging you into a certain direction, a direction that - worst-case scenario - could save someone's life. Part of the beauty of a BioWare game lies within the relationships built.
I've played many games in my 34 years of life, but none have quite impacted me the way Mass Effect has. Just like in real life, any relationship requires work and effort. The same thing applies to the trilogy. After every mission, talk to every single person on your crew, including Joker. This will kickstart loyalty missions, get insight into how you've handled previous parts of the story, and unlock backstories and friendship with each member of your crew.
For those pursuing romance, this is very applicable to that as well. You can't start those feelings of love if you don't know that person, and some of the crewmembers require a high level of trust before opening up to you. Talk to them, go through the dialogue wheel, even if you think you've already exhausted the options. Sometimes, not all of the time, that same dialogue choice will open up a new response. And don't take it personally that Garrus is always calibrating.
Don't hate; just calibrate. Look, I get it. Sometimes, a character goes on and on, and it's so tempting to hit that button that rushes through the conversation to get back to gameplay. You're going to want to especially NOT do this in 2 and 3 because it's there that there are the right and left QTE prompts to indicate a Paragon or Renegade choice.
Rushing through the dialogue can actually skip those options, making you miss out on ranking up those much-needed points.
Also, the dialogue wheel is just finicky, so rushing through can actually choose a response option that you might not necessarily have wanted to make. There are so many more tips I'd love to give, including who to romance, who to side with, who to kill, yadda yadda yadda. However, these are the most common mistakes I hear players make, both those familiar with Mass Effect and those just coming in. Speaking yesterday with a friend who has played through the series 3 times said she had no idea you could make everyone survive the Suicide Mission, or make peace between two races that have been at war for centuries.
I know the Mako is a bit frustrating. I can also recognize that the cover-shooting in the inaugural Mass Effect game could be clunky at times. But seriously, Mass Effect the first one is good.
Better than good, even. In some ways it absolutely shits all over the other two. And now that Mass Effect: Legendary Edition has officially been confirmed , I'm going to beg you to actually play it this time around.
The first Mass Effect game introduced us to some of the most iconic characters in the entire series: Garrus, Wrex, Tali, Liara. Mass Effect is a little like an MMO.
You play it in spite of certain things as much as because of them. So I forced myself to play through it. It was rough Hopefully Mass Effect 2 is more engaging. I don't think ME is a bad game, but some of the designs would not fly today. Mainly the inventory. And why do I have to ride that slow ass elevator to get to the vehicle bay on the mormandy!
User Info: CleverMechanics. D0tKom posted Mass Effect 2 and 3 for that matter puts a much heavier emphasis on the gameplay, so the inventory system is completely gone. Unfortunately, you're about to be introduced to the "omni-button", or the button that does everything.
The Mass Effect 1 elevators are actually loading screens. User Info: reww. I'll agree. I do like the story of ME1, but yeah not quite the same as ME2 and 3. It just gets better better and better. PSN: ShandyX. User Info: drclaeys. Friends, I have to agree. I played ME2 and loved it.
Thought it was the greatest game ever. Then got ME3,and was kinda disappointed.. The I heard that ME 1 was coming out. You will experience in the final game many of the experiences you had in both one and two. This series is a true trilogy.
