And to think they made this story linear to cater to newbies like you.
And they even failed that.
Just look at the first mission.
"We have to get to the citadel. Talk to the council."
"You are a council spectre. That has to count for something."
Questions on only these two lines.
What is the citadel?
What council? Who is that?
What the hell is a "spectre"?
And what in f**ks sake should being one count for?
No, I would never advise anyone to start with ME3 or this person will think Mass Effect is a linear third person shooter with some RPG elements which has a confusing story full of plot holes, especially at the ending. And the characters, the greatest strength of Mass Effect IMO, are weakest in ME3 of all 3 parts. The ME2 squad (which was by far my favourite cast although Liara, my favourite character, wasn't in there) is ruined almost completely as we know, and it is hard to like the ME1 squaddies and others who you should have met before when they are all like "Shepard! Good to see you again bud!" while new players only think "I have NO idea who you are." And what's left of characters is... Vega. Yay.
If I ever meet anyone who does not know Mass Effect yet and wants to play it, I will advise that person to play ME1, then ME2 and then ME3 with MEHEM. I think I would spare that person a lot of confusion and pain.
