And I still haven't played it yet - but bought it a year ago or so when it was very cheap. I still can't believe it is really that bad unless it has multi-colored endings.

I'm a ridiculously rabid Mass Effect fanboi and having played through it fully twice now, I can say honestly: It's DEFINITELY the weakest game in the series.

I tend to try to do EVERY mission in the game and try to talk to EVERY NPC so each play thru easily clocks in at well over 100+ hours, so it's a massive time consumer. Is all that time well spent; no, not really. As another mentioned, it can be boring and tedious at times DEFINITELY. Also the fact that you can't play as a good person, then as a bad person kinda sucks too.

The first time I played it was unmodified; then I HAD to play it a second time about 6 months later when I found out there was a first-person mod for it! Made the game combat WAY MORE intense and fun. IMO the combat is one of the best things about the game.

Here is a video showing the mod in action and here is the link on how to install it.
