Mass Effect Legendary Edition - New Players Discussion

@quizzybunny:  Oops, I saw this post too late. I just completed the mission with Grunt and Jack. The mission was still difficult but manageable. I would walk slowly then once Jack or Grunt said something I would usually run to higher ground then shoot the Husks and Scions from safety. Grunt is a beast once the fight starts he would go off fighting and disappear for awhile, then comeback when he was done. I chose to talk to Legion than turn him over to Cerberus. Like in the beginning with Veetor I let Tali take him back to his fleet. Right now EDI is installing the Reaper IFF, the quest log said to complete any N7 or companion quests, but I've completed them all but I did get a quest from Legion. I will continue to post my progress here. I assume when EDI finishes the installation, and we get access to the Mass Relay that will be the final mission.

This thread will help. The suicide mission doesn't have to be the last. If you have any missions that haven't been completed, those can be completed. If you haven't played any of the dlc, those can be completed as well.

If I were you I'd go in blind first. Its my favourite mission, but knowing the rules behind it takes some of the luster away. And if it doesn't go how you'd like, you can always try again, just make sure you have a save handy.

Just finished ME2 Legendary, and the game was awesome. The story was great. I feel like I really got to know the companions. In the first game they would stop saying new things after a certain point, even if we're only halfway through. I could have gone blind into the final quest but I wanted the best ending, and themikefest's guide was helpful. I found out that the Collectors can easily be taken out with Cryo ammo. There were a lot of hard decisions but I usually chose the Paragon answers. Like in the game first I was glad I could use persuasion. Like I said before I really liked the companions in the second more than ME1. Now I will start the third and sadly final game in the series. I'll either start later today or tomorrow. I've forgotten what a good writer Drew Karpyshyn is, he wrote the original KOTOR, the Darth Bane Trilogy, and the first two Mass Effect games. Don't know if he wrote the third. All I know about the third is that it was controversial, though I never bothered to do research. Which worked out for me because I was truly blind when I played the first two, and will be blind when I play the third. Later today if I start to play I will post my progress here. Anyway goodnight everyone!

Just did the quest for Admiral Hackett where I had to get an item from a Cerberus lab. Now the crew is going to go to a planet Shepard had been on in the first game.

talyn82 thank you for sharing your first time experience playing the games, it gives many fond memories and makes me kinda relive playing it for the first time myself.

Hah! This happened to me I also like getting to use the same protagonist over again.

The turian mission to Menae that the counselor sends you on? Or something else?

You're actually going to Palaven's moon Menae, but yup, that's the one I don't know if there will be an update on the VS yet, to be honest. Go ahead and do Priority: Palaven.

You will get emails regarding the condition on your injured companion that will indicate that you should go back to see them at that point.  It doesn't hurt anything though to stop by to check whenever you return to the Citadel.  If you're early, you may not be allowed in the room or the dialogue may be the same as on a previous visit, but its generally better to go see them too frequently than not enough.
