Let's do it this way:

"Story"
"Character"
"Gameplay"

ME1:
Story - #1
Characters - #1
Gameplay - #3

ME2:
Story - #2
Characters -#1 (yes, two first places)
Gameplay -#2

ME3:
Story - #3
Characters - #3
Gameplay -#1

So if we take in account ME1 felt like a RPG with a big action part and ME2 was an Action-RPG with a very big RP part compared to ME3 which simply feels like an action game with a very light simulation of RP, the outcome is basically this:

ME2 - #1 (strong characters, a tad weak story, good gameplay.)
ME1 - #2 (almost perfect, minus weak gameplay, especially combat)
ME3 - #3 (lacking story and character development, big malus)

Vanilla games?

ME2 > ME3 > ME1

All DLC considered?

ME3 = ME2 > ME1

I don't want to give the wrong impression though. I still loved the hell out of ME1.

ME1 for ever ! Not only the best game of the trilogy for me, but certainly one of the greatest game of all time.

Imo, there are 3 kinds of games :

- ME1
- Other ME games
- The other games.

Amazing story. Amazing experience. Amazing... No word to explain how I love this game^^

ME 2 and ME3 are almost tied for me.
I think I'll go with ME2, simply because it's fantastic character storylines.
I love ME1 with all my heart, but going back to it again, I realize that it feels kind of dated. Fantastic story, and a wonderful introduction to the ME universe, but it certainly feels aged now.

Why? I never get the complaints about gameplay. Unless you start from level 1 on Insanity (3rd playthorugh at least), the shooting doesn´t feel that different from the other games. Enemies still go down fast and weapon kickback is no worse than ME 2 or 3. Most annoyingthing was the individual cooldowns.

On topic: Storywise: ME1>ME2>M3 (Without the endings would be1>3>2)
                 Gameplay: ME3>ME1>ME2

I love all three equally. Cliche maybe, but that's the truth.

ME1 would've done a wonderful job at introducing the universe if I'd actually played it first (big regret, not doing that). It still manages to evoke a real sense of a whole wide galaxy that's missing from the other two.

ME2 wins some points for me simply from being my introduction to Mass Effect. No matter what I saw in 1 ME2 was what grabbed my first. It's not rational but I can't change that. Also it's the first time I really, really cared about the characters in any work of fiction.

ME3 had the best moments in the entire trilogy and the best gameplay. Unfortunately it also had the worst moments and the greatest number of rough edges that should've been addressed (ME1 had some but it was finding its feet and they weren't generally the simple, obvious things like vanishing rocks and twisting heads that really should've been picked up by QA early on).

So it goes ME2, ME1, ME3 for me.

I find that it just never feels fluid enough in 1, and is rather too imbalanced. At the start it's hard to take anything down, at the end everything dies easily. Fluidity-speaking ME2 has an edge to be honest, with there being enough slots to map some key squad powers to keys so no need to pause. Actually I've never even bothered checking to see if you can do that in 3, by dropping some of your own. Must have a look sometime, so that may be an unfair accusation against 3.

Mass Effect 1 is, and there's really no contest. It trumps the other two in terms of story, characters, gameplay, roleplay, exploration, presentation, atmosphere, and in being the best game of the trilogy.

Also one more thing: Both ME2 & ME3 had dated gameplay.

[Captain Crash]

A like all three for differing reasons

The first game will always be my favourite though. Possibly my favourite game ever actually 

[Grand Wazoo]

Mass Effect 1 slightly, story is well crafted and the atmosphere is as good as it gets. ME2 created a lot of problems for the trilogy as a whole but I enjoyed it a lot with most of the focus on characters.

For story and plot: ME1 hands down.

For better mechanics and character and dialog: ME2

For best gameplay and visuals ME3.

For WORST story: ME2 followed closely by McGuffin ME3

For worst RPG: ME3

For highest cost for least return: ME3

For highest productivity achieved while the game is running: ME3  
Because while all the autodialog is going on you can do laundry, get the mail, read the paper, wash dishes, play with your dogs, mop the floor, take a dump, etc.  You just start the game and let it go all autopilot.  No effort, no fuss.

ME1. The best storyline, best characters ( hell, I even liked Liara there ), amazing atmosphere, and that's all that matters to me. I don't care about gameplay. It wasn't that bad, really.

For me, ME1 despite it's really outdated combat. The story, the just amazing atmosphere and the really good soundtracks of course i love the crew. That's what i value the most in my games and that's where ME1 do good for me

[nani7788]

I seriously love all three games, but... probably ME3.

[JesseLee202]

ME3 - ME2 - ME1

I love each game, but in the end, the Talimance content in 2 and 3 give them an edge over 1.

..Why did you quote me? I don't agree with a lot of what you said, but it didn't come off as a rebuttal.

[ChurchOfZod]

ME2. Best in the series. Hell, greatest game of all time.

[D1ck1e]

Mass Effect 2

[Galbrant]

ME2, it has the best balance of story and gameplay.

[PainCakesx]

I thought 2 was a good blend of combat and story / characters. Sort of like a hybrid between ME1 and ME3. I did miss some of the ME1 characters though.

[TemplePhoenix]

2 in my book. Good blend of character stuff and fun gameplay.
