I've just started playing Mass Effect for the first time, and I can't post in any of the sub-forums for the game other than 'Scuttlebut'. This is presumably because I don't have the game registered. After combing through the FAQs, however, I don't see any information on how to register that specific instalment. Is there actually a way to do this?
Is it possible to register Mass Effect 1?

Correct, the icons under your avatar no longer have anything to do with game registration. Instead they are used to link to your characters from other BioWare games. Since the only games that surfaced that data to the web were DAO, DA2, and ME3 those are the only ones available.
The "game registration" part that we use to check if you can post in the game owner categories is now handled differently than BSN. The previous process wasn't very accurate and also didn't work for everyone. Now we use the Origin user database to see if you have played the game while signed in and connected to the Internet.
The reason ME1 doesn't always work isn't really a code problem but more that when ME1 was released it didn't integrate with EA's user system because it was around the same time EA purchased BioWare. It might work if you've played ME1 through Origin but that won't be everyone. However, if you've played ME2 or ME3 you'll be able to post in any of the ME game owner categories so for most users that will be how they get access.
