It's hard to choose between 1 and 2. Both were great in their own ways. But I suppose I'd have to give a slight edge to ME1.
In my opinion BioWare changes core gameplay and mechanics too much between the games in a series. It's abundantly clear in Mass Effect and Dragon Age. Mass Effect 1 plays almost totally differently than 2 and 3. Without going into some long analysis anyone who has played them all will know what I mean.
Dragon Age 2 was changed, far too much, from Dragon Age Origins. DAO played like a tactical squad based RPG. DA2 plays like an action hack and slash game. That's NOT what people fell in love with, BioWare.
They strike gold with a series, then start messing with them too much. I understand the desire to improve and make it "more fun" but it seems to me it should be more important to refine and add to what you already have, rather than ripping things out and changing it completely.

The Mass Effect series is like having an exquisite pristine sports car.. Then Mass Effect 3 strolled over with a baseball bat and bashed in the hood.Mikeyfell said:Well, you should know that if you don't agree with all of my opinions you're wrong.pandorum said:That a little strong don't you think?Mikeyfell said:"Mass Effect 3 is the worst thing humans have done since the Holocaust."
Secondly the Holocaust is still worse. You just have to go back to World War 2 before the badness of Mass Effect 3 is overshadowed.
The captha's appropriate at least "Geronimo!" because if you don't get the sarcasm in this post then I'm jumping head first into a troll tank.
