After replaying through ME3 last year, I can say that the Citadel DLC was by far my favorite part of the whole game. Mass Effect reached the point when a stupid little lighthearted mission, that's basically just a dumb marvel movie full of reddit humor and 4th wall breaking quips by Shepard, was my personal highlight of the game.

So many different ways to play and dozens of different dialogue from not just shep but the teams as well. Plus the villain was actually intense because she was purely a bitch. No tragic backstory. No nothing. She's a sneaky bitch and killing her is fantastic. Props to the UK actress having to do two accents to disguise the characters deception.

Also everything is bright and shiny. The party at the loft is filled to the brim with fun stuff. Boring ass Kaidan actually becomes charming as a lover. Kasumi being a troll, Thane's posthumous recordings, the entire casino sequence, hell even falling from a very high up sushi bar only to end up in a damn automotive showroom (in a black dress or suit if you choose; black dress felt like La Femme Nikita and I loved that)....

I do wish they were able to have essentially every party member in the entire trilogy playable for the entire game but it wouldn't be possible.

There are also so many Easter eggs.

If I'm being honest I wish there was a way to pretend this was the true ending. Hell I'd have vouched for a fake out sequence in the infamous color choice endings, boom its a dream and the afterlife is the citadel dlc. That'd be asking too much. Bioware needs to learn to successfully tow the line between comical and deathly serious which they failed spectacularly with in Veilguard.

Also Wrex. Wrex. Just Wrex. Hes a delight.

But yeah Bioware will never again reach the heights of Origins; 2, ME 1, ME 2, the Citadel dlc etc ever again unfortunately. The woke shit is too much.

You see the evidence throughout DAV of it being a MMO game, of cut content and stuff added that was clearly supposed to play a larger role in an earlier iteration.

It wasn't meant to be an mmo. It was going to be like a fantasy version of Destiny. An mmorpg is a massive open world the player can explore with hundreds of other players. Whereas DAV was going to be a game you could either play solo or with a handful of other players cooperatively. The game's maps were corridors you progress through linearly because you were meant to play them over and over again in coop with others. Anthem was essentially Destiny with Jetpacks and it also wasn't an mmorpg.

Bioware has made mmorpgs before like The Old Republic and they played nothing like Anthem or Destiny.

Rumor has it that the Halo TV show was originally a Mass Effect series that was hastily retooled after they lost the rights which seems plausible considering how literally nothing in that show even vaguely resembled the games.

That would fit with the rumour that that ghastly LotR show was a retooled Dragon Age series. I wonder how often that happens, I heard that Pirates of the Caribbean started as a Monkey Island movie, at least the script.

There are probably a shitload of screenplays floating around Hollywood that are generic [insert genre] fodder and are routinely adapted and re-adapted as licenses become available.

I've long maintained that The Hangover Part III was a random script about shenanigans in Vegas that someone realised could be adapted into a Hangover sequel, since 99% of the plot has absolutely no need for it to involve those specific characters. That's definitely what happened with that dogshit CHIPS movie, because Dax Shepard admitted nobody wanted to fund a movie about him doing motorcycle stunts otherwise.

There is a mod that changes the ending of ME3, making Shepard survive (which he technically does anyway, so long as you go with the Destroy option), and then makes the Citadel DLC into an epilogue, editing some dialogue to remove the various mentions about the on-going Reaper war.

So: is it worth it to give ME3 a go? I'd love to finish what I started 20 years ago, but if it means an utter disappointment (like playing The Last of Us 2 after loving TLoU1), I might as well save myself the time and trouble and just read the plot on wikipedia.

It's worth playing if you import a fully completed 1 and 2 save into it. If you want everything you have to do all those shitty mako quests and find almost every item on the planets exploration.
The main bad things are the ending, heavy presence of characters that only appeared in tie-in novels that are very meh (one of the main villains), some romance options got shafted but not unexpected, questionable/potentially offensive character development lol and a day 1 DLC character which was very rude. Plot is wack at times but always was.
Overall it's still a solid 7/10 game after all these years.

I get why you would want the Citadel DLC to be the epilogue but I don't really know if I like the idea of it. Once of the things I liked about it was that it's kind of Shepard's crews goodbye to each other. With the war going on none of them have any idea if they're going to survive long enough too ever see any of each other ever again and well that feeling of sadness isn't a major part of the DLC it still is there. If you move it to after the events of everything I just kind of feel like it sort of cheapens the experience a little bit because it's now just a normal party instead of the last time these people might ever see each other. With that being said I maybe just looking way too deep into a very silly DLC.

The reason why I asked for users suggestion brings tears to my eyes:

Last year I bought the Legendary edition and I did play the entire first 2 games, just like I had done 10 years ago. All Mako shit included, because I wanted the full ME3 experience.

Finally, after getting the red ring THE DAY I bought ME3 for the Xbox 360, I would see the end of the saga. Let me just save this ME2 run after finishing it and... I accidentally saved over my good file. (:_(

But you guys gave me enough hope to try it again during my next vacation. Thanks everyone.

Apparently, the director had no interest in doing a Hangover sequel, so he made the second one ironically. When that was a hit again and he was approached to do a third one, he did so under the condition that he could do what he wanted, and that was a Vegas heist movie.

He did it again with Joker.
