Which games similar to Mass Effect?

There is actually an offer on Steam for Mars warlog 3.74 € and technomancer 8.99 €

I'd say, it's better than TW3 (plot and gameplay), but worse, than DSII (combat).
Though, the last chapter requires a lot of backtracking (like the legendary swamps in the last chapter of TW1).

It pretty much was mine too. I never got far in Morrowind.

No game is similar to Mass Effect (MET). Thats what made them special. Nothing like the MET and nobody like Shepard & Co.

Ha! Two years older than me! Though a few here have us both beat. I tried Morrowind back when it cxme out and just couldn't get into it. As to that mod it isn't new but from what I hear it's great. I started replaying Skyrim when the SE came out. Fair warning. This mod requires SKSE. SE Skyrim is not compatible with any mod that uses it.

I really loved Morrowind when it came out. Nothing Bethesda's made since has been able to push those same buttons

Because Morrowind was a novel concept when it came out. The later Bethesda games, not so much.

Although if you have the right augments, they become absurdly easy.

The wrong ones, and it's just absurd.

On the opposite side, I wouldn't recommend the Director's Cut because of that stupid DLC that removes all your equipment/skills.
Game designers who put out crap like that are dumb enough to work for EA.

It's not a bad thing though. If all games were similar, we'd only need one game with endless sequels.

There are 3 primary criteria I use to determine if a game is a similar to Mass Effect and the first one is where most games fail to meet the requirement.
Fallout 3-4 and New Vegas are the only games I know that met all 3 requirements.
FYI, Fallout 1-2 failed the third criteria.

Ease of gameplay and exploration are the secondary criteria.
The game has to be large enough to spend ages just randomly wandering around.
And battles/missions have to be easy enough to pass that the character is not getting dead every 5 minutes of gameplay on the normal difficulty level.

Honestly, I could live with just two games getting endless sequels.
At least I'd be certain of a good game each new iteration!

I've made the mistake too many times of purchasing a game because it seemed to offer a good experience, but then the gameplay turned out to be rather inflexible and the story wasn't interesting enough.
