ME2: 3 times
ME3: 8 times

Me1 8 times
me2 25 times
me3 around 35 times
The entire trilogy: Once.
For every time I play, I always started from ME1.
I've played ME1 at least 16 times. I have no idea really. (I played each class at least once b4 ME2 and once over for each ME2 playthru)
I've played ME2 at least 8 times. (I have played each class at least once)
I've played ME3 1 time.
That ME3 ending really killed it for me, although I'll probably start playing the trilogy again at some point with MEHEM. It's been so long I won't remember all the dialog and it'll almost be like new.
Played each game 4X as full trilogy playthroughs, changing difficulties and classes along the way.
Only one Full-Renegade run, that was my least favourite way to go.
Just started ME again, mostly to hear Jennifer Hale's voice. Loved her work in DAI, (not to mention Ali Hillis') and that reminded me how much I enjoyed both Liara and Fem!Shep.
Heh, I was playing a Jedi knight in SWTOR and the twi'lek girl in the Tython story is voiced by Ali Hillis. I had no choice but to break my jedi vows. Liara cannot be resisted. That is my code.

yeah they're both talented voice actresses. That's kind of why I think why I've been playinj gmostly female characters in DAI as well as I love Alix Wilton Regan's voice as well. Renegade is quite funny but I agree I generally prefer the Paragon route
This is tough... hard to remember
;;;
ME1: 3...?
ME2: 3...?
ME3: 5...? I think...?
So that means I'm currently on my 4th full trilogy playthrough. It's my nightmare run. I'm somewhere in the middle of ME2.
ME1: 6 times
ME2: 5 times
ME3: A lot. I can't even look at the number of hours played without feeling a tiny but of shame.
I completed it twice myself and watched my boyfriend complete it twice.
ME1: 13 times. (did not work at BW until 4 playthroughs done, another 7 after)
ME2: 8 times. (after shipping, in development another 2 times on top of that)
ME3: 6 times. (after shipping, in development another 4 times on top of that)
Across a total of 3 characters.
Wow, that's some commitment! I thought most devs rarely play the full final completed game, due to the amount of time they see it during development driving them insane ![]()
As for me, I think I've gone something like:
4 playthroughs of ME1
3 playthroughs of ME2
3 playthroughs of ME3.
All DLC included, except for Leviathan, Omega and Citadel. Waiting for a special day down the line so I could do a massive trilogy playthrough and complete the full Mass Effect story. Keeping that last flicker of hope that I haven't seen everything yet, that my favorite characters and stories haven't said goodbye yet
(Though just listening to "Farewell and into the Inevitable" from the Citadel DLC already got me depressed haha)
I think my highest number of playthroughs in a single Bioware game still belongs to KOTOR. Have played the game since I was about 7 years old, used to have an annual summer playthrough until high school. Probably have 10 playthroughs at this point.
Too many. lol
I'll instead put up the hours that I've played each game.
ME1 : 266 hours
ME2 : 610 hours
ME3 : 1132 hours
Great, so across all three games I've put in over 83 days of gaming. Thanks Origin & Steam. Keepin' the geek alive.
Of course that's with multiplayer. ME2 ... uhhh. Isn't.

Has Steam made play timers optional yet?
Sometimes I would just rather not be reminded.
I completed it twice myself and watched my boyfriend complete it twice.
Did something similar with my girlfriend, playing through all three games twice with her. She prefered games where you moved the character with the mouse over keyboard movement and she didn't want to try the games because of this.
We rolled a female Shepard both times of course. She decided what Shepard would look like, picked diaogue options and made all the choices while I was taking care of the gameplay part.
Finished it once on my own as a male Shepard too.
We started on a third run, but we didn't have enough time to finish it. ![]()
ME1 - not entirely sure. I think about 6 times all told.
ME2 - three complete playthroughs I think
ME3 - once
Well... at least 4 trilogy runs ( 5 if I count my femshep who is still stuck in ME2) ![]()
And played ME3 5 times, since it was my first game in the trilogy.
ME1: Twice, once on PS3, once on PC.
ME2: 5 times.
ME3: 4 times.
Full series playthrough: none.
6 trilogy runs
Did ME1 and ME2 three times before ME3. Never replayed ME3 alone. I always start from ME1 whenever I wanted to play ME3.
To be honest i have lost count.
I have run through ME1 the most, dozens of times, ME2 about 1/2 as much and ME3 a lot less only about 5 times.
I now play the trilogy as a whole. So once a year I'll start with a new Character and play the series through from start to finish with all story DLCs and the odd mod or two Like full XP for mako kills to help with XP since i usually start with a band new character and because I usually reinstall I don't have old achievement bonuses unlocked so full XP for the mako helps get my ME1 character to lvl 60 easier. I usually play early in the year late winter, early spring. It is annoying you can't start on the highest difficulty with Me1 you have to unlock it with a previous run.
I enjoy the once a year visit as it gives me the nostalgia I enjoy along with freeing up my limited game time for new experiences.
ME1 = 10
ME2 = 175
ME3 = 42
... what?
ME1: Somwhere around 10
ME2: Somwhere around 10
ME3: 0
ME1: Three times. Loved that game but to be honest I was lost many times, the most frustrating parts are the labs in Noveria. And why all the sudden everybody is attacking me? You suspicious ba*tards! That lab section is just too long even it is very well made.
First I play it with fully biotic adept Malin Shepard, second (and the "best" with almost every sidequests done well) with my main protagonist Malin Shepard who was a vanguard. Third with my strong maleShep Sasha Alex Shepard who was a sentinel.
M2: 4-6 times. With both Malin and Sasha. Realized with Sasha that vanguard class is just super fun. Missed the charge but surprised how easy the game with sentinel was. Lost Miranda in the first run but corrected it. Love Miranda.
ME3: Four times. And the playtrough what felt the most fitting and right was with a Thane romancing Malin Shepard who admittely flirted a lot with James, too...
That Shepard always knew that it was coming to and end. She was a big Geth enthusiast and could not just not destroy them. So she chose control even though she didn't knew what would follow.
My other Shepard's chosed to blow the Reapers what has always felt right too... but... yeah. I think I need to follow my horrible instincts with that ending choice. My Shepard becomes the next A.I guardian or whatever hell she'll be for the sake of Geths. Just like that. And oh she will be missed because my Shepard was alwatys on the blue side.
FAR far far far to much an for far to long, but i dont regret a minute of it (ok maybe a couple bits that a thought coulda been done better in me3 but meh a few like that through out the trilogy)

yeah so do I these days. I don't tend to count which one I play moer than others I tend to create my character in ME1 once I've gone through ME1's story transfer them to 2 and then onto 3 once I've finished with 2
