I skipped to Mass Effect 2, and Jesus, the default world state is pretty much the worst thing ever. Kirrahe's dead, the Zhu's Hope colony got wiped out by Shepard, no sidequests completed or nonessential minor characters met.
I even bought that interactive comic thing, just so I wouldn't have to play my mostly Paragon Shepard as some kind of reformed Wrex-killing, Council-genociding maniac.

Also, I'm "playing" Shepard's first encounter with Kai Leng right now. It perked up during the two Sad Little Kid dreams earlier, but the old rage is returning now.

I thought everyone here knew about this site. www.masseffect2saves.com/Could be handy for anyone else here looking to replay 2 and 3 but cannot slog through 1. I haven't looked in there lately but last I checked they had a pretty comprehensive selection of states.

360 Master Race, bra.
Seriously, I've been changing discs so many times for ME3, it's terrible. I wish EA would just get it over with and rerelease the trilogy on PS4. I hate playing anything without the Dualshock 4, anyway.

Ahh, they have a way to screw around with x-box saves but it looks pretty finicky. I think they were a little easier in the next 2 mostly because they were not shitty ports but cross platform developed.

Also, since I've been that War Table thing on the Bioware website, my Galactic Readiness has been at 100% for a while now. It's kind of hilarious. Between that, the Extended Cut bringing the requirements for the best ending down, and my love of eavesdropping, the progress bar was full before the end of the Tuchanka arc.
Kind of disappointed the app where you get texts from Mass Effect characters is defunct, though. It sounded like the modern day version of the Flintstones Phone from the Simpsons:

I just had to go through the character creation and opening cinematic of ME1 twice, because Shepard managed to die on the bridge of the Normandy before the game had even had a chance to autosave.

How the hell did you pull that off, Glow?

For some reason, Shepard goes up to the bridge with all her weapons at the start of the game. For some reason you can even use them. Including your grenades.

If you've got the subtitles on, when Saren finds out Shepard used the beacon, it literally transcribes him flipping out as "Argh! Grr!"
I also like how his and Benezia's plan to take Shepard out was to have two turians with pistols wait for her outside of Chora's Den.

To be fair, Shepard is one human naval officer. A resilient one, maybe, but still low on the totem pole.

I kinda like how Chora's den is the least sexiest strip club in games, ever. Good thing ME2 remedied that.

She did just take out all the geth left behind on Eden Prime, and is being vetted to be a Spectre, which I assume Saren knew.
Then again, I guess they had no way of knowing Shepard for some reason likes to walk around the residental areas of the Citadel in full armour with four guns and two equally heavily-armed squadmates.

So in the Synthesis ending, is everyone just gonna glow green forever? That'd get old really fast.
