What you REALLY need to know before playing Mass Effect Legendary Edition

Six quick tips that are newbie friendly, learned from over a dozen playthroughs of the ME trilogy.

4:13 - 3. Squad composition for specializing and balancing
5:34 - 4. Remember, this is a cover shooter!
7:07 - 5. Use skill points for survivability in ME1, and for ability recharge speed ME2 and ME3
9:59 - 6. Always max out persuade skills (different systems in ME1, ME2, and ME3)

[@Agherosh]

Let's be honest, who takes squadmates out to balance your squad? Nooo, you take the ones you like.

[@Mysticgamer]

I had first play ME1 Garrus and Tali were always in my party. You can get away with a mostly tech party if you're careful.

[@natoklord]

I wish i could take more with me and makes a SWAT team

[@rfranklin3000]

I base which squadmqtes I take around the story and what makes sense for each mission, in this way, I end up playing with them all equally over the course of the games.

[@zachariahmustchin1966]

I did in my first playthrough of the first game, and still do occasionally when i can't decide who to take.

[@AzguardMike]

the best combo is Garrus and Liara. Ones a tech and combat power house, the others an bad ass Biotic. With you as a soldier class, you can beat anything. Garrus overload shields, Liara singularity to lift everything and hurt them with impact on over items, then you spray them with your Lancer or whatever gun you prefer. By the time they fall, Garrus hits sabotage, Liara use lift or push and you keep spraying bullets. Switch to disrupter ammo or incendiary in ME2/3. Makes the game piss easy

[@Rainbowhawk1993]

Anyone who plays RPGs and don’t invest into speech/persuasion right away are playing the game wrong.

[@ExaltedMarch]

I agree! But remember lots of people who mainly play shooters or action games cross over into Mass Effect and may not know.

[@victoriasharpe1661]

Lol I've just been watching my partner do this very thing. Plus he didn't obtain his first reputation check with those colonists on eden prime. Even though I warned him. I left him to it.

Been a huge fan of the series since it’s debut on the 360, and I always just made sure my Shepard could shoot hard and survive. I never thought critically of the biotics and my team, but this video just pumped me up for my fourth all-game play through. Great content, I’m going to try a new approach for this one!

Miranda is the most OP squadmate in the series. The only one that has both Warp and Overload which can defeat all enemy types with those two abilities

[@augustaseptemberova5664]

Kaidan has reave + overload in me3, also very powerful. I would call neither op, if you go for insanity difficulty.

Miranda also has a passive squad buff which is the real reason she's op. A must take squad mate for insanity on any stage.

[@WickedPrince3D]

The trilogy is a lot of fun, despite the criticism ME3 got for it's silly ending. A caveat that he didn't mention is that if you chose to play Paragon; play Paragon; if you chose to play Renegade; play Renegade; ALL the way through all three games. Being wishy-washy usually just gets you shot in the back.

[@CRF250R1521]

@@WickedPrince3D he literally talked about that at the end of the video. The only game that forces you to pick Paragon/Renegade all the way through is ME2.

[@WickedPrince3D]

@@CRF250R1521 You aren't forced to play either morality, but being wishy washy always ends up causing you problems. In ME3 almost every renegade option you took during the series forces you to continue being renegade because being wishy washy at that time just costs lives. More or less the same for paragon choices made. You do not benefit from being wishy washy.

Every video like this: “It’s best to take companions that balance your squad and provide a strategy.” Everybody: *taking the companions they like the most*

[@augustaseptemberova5664]

What I think adds to replay value of the ME games, is how the situation changes if you go to insanity difficulty - where I'd say to do the exact opposite of some things you recommend for new players starting with normal difficulty. Like, you really need to switch up your tactics if you go for a replay on high difficulty, where you need to take down extra layers of shields or armor (partcularly challenging in ME2) before you can even attempt anything like crowd control. For me at least, that meant going from levelling up a tank's tankiness first, to first levelling their other skills and powers, like assault training or shotguns to gain carnage etc.

[@wrecklessg6710]

As a seasoned ME player for many long years, I will give you my 2 EXPERT recommendations to newcomers or older guys, if you are an avid video game player: 1. ONLY play on INSANE difficulty, anything less you will feel it is less rewarding. 2. Play as "VANGUARD". That is the best high-risk high-reward the most enjoyable imo game style combining more than enough biotic abilities with close counters gunplay. All other tips could be built on these two. You are welcome.

It felt cheap.

@@donspafford414 The 4th is if you ignored/rejected the other 3 paths(destroy, control, synthesis). The Reapers win. The lackluster ending(s) brought disappointment to many. But the 120+ hours of gameplay to get there is a blast IMHO.

I really recommend insanity difficulty on mass effect 1. It really isnt that scary, its the same as veteran, but enemies take around double the hits, thats all. It encourages you to use cover and abilities and not run around like terminator. Because the ai is still very bad on the first game, creepers and husks run around in circles if you stand far enough away. The only real problem is snipers kill you in one hit, but you can avoid the super obvious red laser beam before they shoot.

Any tips for the story for a guy who's never played mass effect? I know the decisions have big impacts, so just tell me how not to destroy things too badly.

[@ExaltedMarch]

I will try to avoid spoilers and just say this - in Mass Effect 2 there will come a point where it's clear you're about to head into the final set of missions and in cutscenes everyone will talk about how you should hurry up and not delay. Go to the main mission RIGHT AWAY. If you have any side missions, forget about them and head straight for that main mission that your crew will be urging you about. Otherwise, again without being too specific, just make sure you have that paragon or renegade skill maxed in ME1. There is a very VERY key conversation you will have with Wrex on a planet called Virmire. Make sure you do his personal quest before going there and even still make sure you have high paragon or renegade. There are some choices that are meant to be gray and not have a direct right or wrong answer. If it's life or death the game will make it very clear what you're about to choose so you're good. Remember - it's an awesome experience to replay the series! Make your choices and stick with them. If you're really bummed about a major choice or choices, it can be awesome to go back and do a whole other run later down the line and see another version of the story.

I hardly recognise the games when I see them being played on less than Insanity difficulty. It's a shame because the games are significantly different between difficulties & versions. I understand it though when I look at the completion % of Steam Achievements. Even achievements which require someone to get ~1/3 way through any one of the 3 LE games have been unlocked by only just over 30% of LE's owners.

“Insanity” sounds more scary than it is. Especially on mass effect 1. I admit i also played half the game on veteran before realising that insanity is still the same enemies, same number of enemies, same tactics. Just they take twice the bullets, also snipers can one shot you. But its definitely fun and not a grind like hardest modes in many games can be.

@@JD_13 In my experience different classes suffer differently from the way the difficulty is applied. I like the extra shooting with my normal Soldier build :)

this game is just.. it's too hard for me to get into, I shoot enemies and they don't even bleed, I cannot create a character if it's not the main protagonist, the controls on pc are just contrainruitive, and how ia this even an rpg.. I've been convinced to buy it, one of the greatest rpgs of all time, they said, as good as new vegas even. that is simply not the case, at least in fallout you have your own creation, not some boring ass military politics shite.. wtf.. I should not have bought this and neither should you, if you value your rpgs. This is an action game with bad action and made for children, and boring at that. So do not make my mistake. .
