Are all of you still playing the trilogy or just using the multi player ?

Has your pure love of interacting with the true game play and values of the Mass Effect Universe stood the test of time or has it been diminished?

How often do you still play all variations of Shepard and his/her love interests in ME 1 and ME 2 ?
Has the Mass Effect Universe been killed by Multi Player ME 3 or is it still intact for you ? 

Are you indeed still playing the games or just using the multi player facility ?

(Please keep it civil, no name calling, no pictures a.s.o. - there is enough out there already; just your true feelings about your past and present enjoyment of playing the Mass Effect Universe in all.)

I still play all three. It brings me joy each playthrough, I see no reason to stop playing for as long as I enjoy it. Stories as engrossing like these are rare to come by.

I was never one of those who had dozens of different Shepards waiting to be imported into ME3. I've got one Shepard and the more engrossed I got in the series, the harder it was for me to e.g. replay the trilogy as a Renegade. Maybe that makes me a bad role-player, I don't know :-P Mass Effect is just... different from other RPGs. To me, at least. For the same reason, I haven't got more than 4 or 5 playthroughs of the first two games under my belt (edit: that's 4 or 5 for each game, I should add. Might even be a bit higher, seeing as I'm sure I've tried out all classes), and no replaying of them since completing Mass Effect 3. I do, however, plan on replaying the trilogy when the next ME3 DLC is on the horizon :-) only time will tell if I'll be able to divert significantly from the paths I've already walked.

I am currently distracted by the new MP dlc, but will return to SP when I get a couple more of the new characters.

Man, I've been playing single player to the overkill. I don't do this with other franchises. So think of it as a compliment Bioware.

Three complete playthroughs on Mass Effect 1 (PC).  [Infiltrator, Adept, Adept again,] ,
Four complete playthroughs on Mass Effect 2 (PS3) [Adept, Engineer, Vanguard, Infiltrator]
Four complete playthroughs on Mass Effect 3 (PS3) [Adept, Engineer, Vanguard, Infiltrator]

I've also done a bit on multiplayer and will be playing some more.

I played this game a lot. I love the trilogy a lot.
But it's been saturated though, four playthroughs.

I am happy with the extended cut, before you ask. I will be playing single player DLC (as long is it's more missions).
A new single player difficulty would be nice. I've beaten insanity four times. When you compare insanity to bronze, silver, gold and platinium onliine, insanity seems like a breeze by comparasan.

I replay single player, my boyfriend (who has no patience for single player) plays multiplayer. Win-win!

I have 14 Shepards and last one I created march and played through ME & ME2. I have played only ME3 (6 times) and MP since launch but planning to start new Shep when I get my ME back from my friend :) Mass Effect is my favourite game series of all time and I don't know if there will ever be something as good. BioWare games are only ones that I have more PTs than 2. Jade Empire is the least played with 4 PTs.

Just completed a full playthrough of all 3 games + all DLCs. Will probably not play anymore ME until SP DLC is released though.

The reason for not playing ME until then is over playing these games (great as they are they start loosing their attraction on the 7th or 8th run)

I still play the SP games, I have two new ones on the go right now. I only played MP because I was effectively forced to in order to raise the EMS score... Generally speaking I have little to no interest in MP at all, and wish it wasn't part of the game in the first place.

After ME2 came out, I barely touched ME1. I really did not like the way ME1 was designed, but I loved the story and that made up for it, for me.

ME2 on the otherhand has much fewer things that bug me. The story wasn't as good, the characters were more shallow, but those are things I can deal with.

Given that ME3 has taken the best of every game, the only reason I can think of playing the originals is to experience the story first hand. Honestly, I'd rather have a genesis comic to skip all of it. I don't dislike the original games, it's just that ME3 is amazing and playing the old games is tedious and boring by comparison.

As for multiplayer...

I don't play the multiplayer much. It's just a big grind to unlock garbage I don't want. If they had deals to unlock specific things, at worst character packs for instance (one random character you do not own for x credits) would be nice, a weapon pack with the same ideology (minus N7 level weapons) would also be nice.

I'm not going to do hundreds of games though to try and hopelessly unlock the one character I want, and I'm certainly not going to shell out cash for it. Playing the game is its own reward, but it would be much more enjoyable if I could play it with the class I want to play as. Seriously, I'd actually buy DLC that unlocked rank 1 of every character type, but I'm not spending a cent on reinforcement packs.

I guess that leaves me in a predicament where I won't enjoy multiplayer. So be it, I'll play it as I feel like it and do random games up my war readiness when I play through it. Besides that, meh, we'll see.

Overall, multiplayer is average at best. Incredibly boring and repetitive at worst. Random 'kill enemies' games gets old fast, if we had story-based modes (not Shepard's story, but scenarios to play through) I would love the game so much more. But we don't, and I can't see DLC like that ever coming.

At least I can play as krogans and quarians though, I guess.  It almost even makes up for the fact we didn't get Wrex in our squad on single player...

Hey. Thanks for all your input. Keep it coming.

I haven't played all classes yet. First run was a Soldier class with MaleShep and the second run was with the FemShep. Liked the female version better, tried Vanguard and loved it. After that I started building up a character type with the Adept and stuck with it. Loved the Renegade, tried the Paragon, but preferred the Paragade. But I have to admit that I don't get on with ME3 for various reasons. The major gripe is MP. It grinds my preferred style of playing ME to a complete halt, no matter how I try. The interference of MultiPlayer just makes it such a chore. Don't get me wrong, I have played MuliPlayer and I did enjoy it to a point. It just stifles my SinglePlayer so much and not for the first time do I wish that MultiPlayer was a separate choice .

Oh well, I just have to bite the bullet and decide what to do. Two brilliant games out of three is better than none. Time will tell.

Still playing the Trilogy. Why wouldn't you? They're still as good as they ever were. Ending or not, it's still one of the best series I've ever played. MP is nice, but I can't play it much.

Im on my 5th playthrough of ME3. I guess im in the minority of people that love the endings. I have already played through the trilogy once and I play multiplayer all the time.

On my 4th ME3 playthough, going for insanity. Stuck on Earth. I'm waiting until most of the SP DLC is released for ME3 before I go for the ultimate playthrough of ME, ME2 and ME3 (this will even include Pinnalce Station - GAH!). I'm hoping they go for a similar DLC stratergy as they did with ME2 - that is, every few months over the course of the next year or so. I hope the nonsense over the ending and extended cut hasn't put a spanner in the works for the SP DLC.

My focus has been on the multiplayer for the past couple of weeks due to the new DLC, but once the novelty wears off I'll be heading straight back to the singleplayer.

I'm waiting for all the DLC to come out to make my third playthrough. The first was on normal. The second on insanity (very fun playthrough) and this one will be on narrative mode. Just ****** easy stuff so I can burn through it as quick as possible with new game+

I just finished ME1 again with a level 60 and all side quests done. The perfect playthrough I suppose. On to ME2 tonight
