So are you going to do it? Are you going to make a least one different decision or even (gasp) romance someone different? What's your plan? Or are you literally going to make all the same choices as usual?

I played the Triologie more then twenty times and tried many different decisions and options.
For the Legendary Edition i plan to do a playtrough with male Shep as Paragon romancing Ashley and maybe Tali later and a second playtrough as Renegate Fem Shep Romancing Liara and maybe Samantha in ME3. My Renegate Fem Shep will not recruit Garrus and will let Ashley shoot Wrex in ME1. A also thinking about to give Legion to Cerberus in ME2 but haven't decided it yet.

Yep, one major change I'm glad gonna do is to finally try out the Tali romance. Never did her romance in the original version.
Now before people start judging me, it wasn't because I didn't like her, in fact I did. But I couldn't get over the fact that she always felt like a little sister to me and I always shipped her and Garrus together. But I've heard so many people praising the romance that I've decided to try it out. It's gonna feel a little awkward because she still feels like a little sister, but I'll just push through to experience the romance at least once.

Not sure what more I can do with the numerous playthroughs I've done? Maybe complete a playthrough without firing my weapon and using powers? That would be hard to do in ME3 since there's a couple of times the player has to use a weapon. I like to do a playthrough without bringing any squadmates on a mission. That will never happen. I like doing that in DA.

Given I've pretty much done it al on the originals I don' tthink there is anything I can do differently. I'd say my first one will likely be close to what I'd call a canon run and by that the chioces I normally go with on a normal run and just see how it plays. I don't reall yhave a canon run per se but just the choices I'd normally pick on a stasndard paragon style run.

In the original trilogy I have several distinct playthroughs. Other playthroughs are not so distinct (several mostly pure Paragon playthroughs with everyone surviving the suicide mission). I am 50/50 MaleShep and FemShep, and about 50/50 with Kaidan/Ashley surviving Virmire. I have several playthroughs where I had squadmates die on the suicide mission. I play a mix of classes with various builds and playstyles.
My first full playthrough in MELE will be Soldier, probably as a FemShep. Playing as a Soldier first to unlock the weapon achievements and bonus powers. Will use Tali and Liara for most of the game to unlock their achievements and bonuses. It will probably be a mix of some of my personal favorite Paragon and Renegade choices in ME1 (save Feros, kill the Rachni Queen). Kaiden will survive Virmire. Unsure if I will let the council live. Probably everyone will survive the suicide mission (since I think there is an achievement for it?). ME3 will probably end up the same, although I may kill Mordin and sabotage the cure; it depends.
Next two playthroughs will be Adept and Engineer for the biotic and tech achievements and bonus powers. Next playthroughs are for also unlocking the other squadmate achievements. Kaiden and Ashley for Engineer, Wrex and Garrus for Adept.
I will need to do full a full Renegade playthrough at least once in MELE. I do not think I ever had a renegade Adept so I guess I will do that in MELE. I will need to kill squadmates on the suicide mission on subsequent playthroughs as well.
I have plans as you can see.

I don't think I ever finished my renegade playthrough, so I might go for that. I remember I had a femShep with red hair and white armour, she looked awesome Honestly though I'm just really excited to revisit the series since I haven't touched it in 6-7 years, after pouring literally hundreds of hours into it when I was in university.

I don't have an usual PT, outside playing vanguard the most of all the classes in ME2/ME3. My PTs have been about trying things. Every romances. Every choices options. Both gender multiple times. Both Paragon and Renegade PT + mixes. I even did a playthrough where I gathered every material on every planets, along all side content (DLC included). Then followed by "speed runs" (story only, well mostly story only...it's hard to no do side quests sometimes). In ME1/ME2. The only thing I failed at was a dead Shepard at the end of ME2 and it wasn't because I never tried. I just recruited too many squaddies for it to work. ME3 is where I'm "behind" with trying everything, as I never played it with all the DLCs (only with the Citadel one). I did do a PT where I used the default state to see how it looked thought. I did different choices in my PTs, I just didn't check everything yet. I played ME3 a lot less than ME1/ME2. I should actually find an " usual playthrought" with MELE, lol.

The only 3 things I don't change is I never save the council, I always choose destroy, I always shove the merc out the window, preferably with jack on my team. I doubt that will change this time. I'm sure there is a conversation or whatever where I never picked a option. But as I am not consciously aware of it, I doubt that will change, whatever got me to do it a bazillion times without that choice will happen again.

I know, because I am too. I try to do themikefest things, but at a certain point I can't live with myself anymore and Boy Scout it from there. I think I have finished KotOR over 100 times, and seen the DS endings maybe twice in-game. Probably only once I have a hard time RPing someone other than myself.

I usually go light side in star wars games. They really lean into evil for evils sake in dark side where renegade is more just a bad ass and a jerk. I am fine with bad ass/jerk, but pure evil, just to be evil I am not a fan, I'll do it on multiple play throughs to see it but once I see it once I don;t go back.

I am going to do a renegade playthrough because that is what I had planned next anyway. I am conflicted however on whether it will be a renegon or full on renegade.

Yes, definetly i will start ME1LE on insanity because this difficulty never was a start option before. Also i don't command my squadmates and set the option "auto squad power usage" to ON.

Mostly all the same choices with 2 playthroughs. 1. Main canon Shep: Male, vanguard sole survivor, colonist, pro-human, romance Jack, paragade 2. other playthrough: female, soldier, war hero, spacer, egalitarian, romance Liara, renegon Though for my main Shep, I am thinking about killing the council this time. He is pro-human, but I never kill the original council with him because I just like the original better than the council that replace them. It's funny, because my very first playthrough with my main Shep I did kill the council, thinking they would be replaced by all humans. But when I found out that's not the case, I went back to ME1 to change that choice. Though I will still kill wrex and not cure the genophage with him

Most of the changes I plan on making are pretty much cosmetic only but I might make her a bit more renegade in the first game in order to get that bad ass ending panel thing.

I am going to try and avoid meta gaming since I have played through the trilogy so many times. For instance I don't see how letting the rachni queen live a second time isn't a huge risk for betrayal. She was captured and exposed to reaper tech for an indefinite amount of time, and could be indoctrinated. Same goes for Legion, who lies to Shepard twice, and only shows the geth in the best possible light and the worst of the quarians. What about all the atrocities that geth committed when killing likely billions of quarians while forcing them from Rannoch and their colonies. It would seem that reaper code maybe having more effect than Legion is letting on while trying to manipulate Shepard. And it doesn't help that in ME2 Legion is talking about the geth forging their own path and evolution without influence of "the old machines" only to do a 180 and see reaper code as a key to their evolution. Might be indoctrinated there Legion.
I am going to try and treat it as my first play through, even if it costs me some war assets. Second time through I will likely meta game for a high number of war assets.

Hmm, thinking about it Don't believe I romanced Traynor? so I think my first play through will be Fem. Shep. and the Traynor romance followed by Male Shep. and Kaidan and one of the two will be renegade, never did a renegade run.

Nothing really.
The only change I might change is play femshep again since its been a long time. The default female Shepard looks good (I found it much harder to make a nice looking female Shepard compared to male Shepard), but I generally do not like Hale's deliveries too.

I think I have done pretty much all the iterations that really interest me in the original trilogy already.
And since I haven't played the trilogy in years, my first Shep is going to be my go-to variation without much deviation. However, I fully anticipate to do a couple of playthroughs with MELE over the next couple of years (especially if the manage to transfer mods over time) and then I am sure to be more experimental again.

I think that is what is going to happen as well for my playthrough. I cannot think of a choice in the games that I haven't tried at least once. I think for me the biggest challenge will be to take my time and enjoy it since I know the games so well at this point. Now I won't be able to get the game on Day 1, but I will hopefully have that chance in a few months when I am not paying double rent. Edit: I am probably going to play a second time to see if they fixed the Vanguard Charge issue with the Omega DLC where at one point if you used Charge you died when you were on the scaffolding.

Looking forward to seeing if the new, woke, all-inclusive, and oh, yeah - diverse - Biower has changed my fave — namely out-renegading Jack.
That means romance and bang her, then someone else. Getting her to tell me to “fuck off”. Luv it.

Not my first playthrough. I want to reminisce with my head-cannon Sheploo. Romance Liara, Tali and then finally Kaidan. I always end up romancing Tali in ME2 just because her story so good and vulnerability is through the roof. Have to give her those alien cuddles. Fortunately the gals shake off the break up really well.
But- I do plan on romancing Jack for the first time in another playthrough. Haven't decided if I'll date her in both ME2 and ME3 or just ME2 and cave for Kaidan again.
