Gonna be playing this eventually. Bought the full series in the winter, and it’s on my shortlist.
Anyone got mod recommendations?
I am the kind of person that always installs tons of mods to everything.
With ME though, especially on the first playthrough - just go in vanilla. Maybe the remastered thing for ME1.
Agreed. First playthrough should 100% be vanilla. I do mod a few things on subsequent playthroughs though. Personally I like to give myself infinite paragon/renegade (through a save editor), because I like being able pick a renegade option when I think my Shepard would do that, without having to worry about maxing my paragon for important choices. I also prefer playing biotic classes because they’re more fun, but want a sniper rifle, so I mess with the save to give sniper rifle competency to my class in ME1. Finally I’m trying the happy ending mod this playthrough to see if I like it.
There’s really just a metric ton. I found this video that has a way to install a bunch at once, but just keep in mind there may be some other mod out there you’d like too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Eqg9fDClCM
I took a look at Nexus a while ago, and it was overwhelming! You can tell how loved a game is by the number of mods.
Did you buy the original games or the legendary edition? I played ME1 vanilla and enjoyed it a lot!
