ME1's writing is the weakest; its worldbuilding is the weakest; its characters are the weakest; its combat mechanics are the weakest.

Let's not go overboard. ME1 had fantastic worldbuilding. It actually felt like a universe existed outside the scope of your mission, especially with how they went into great detail about stuff that ultimately had little to no bearing on Shepard.

The rest is indisputable, though.

THe way that characters act to frame the cultures that produced them is a component of world-building. How interesting were the asari before we talked to Aria? How much did we really know about the way that the Alliance had changed human culture? Oh, I know, we can ask Parasini-san after she's done talking to Benezia-sama

How much more were the Turians ever fleshed out? The Salarians? The Krogan? Even the Alliance never got more interesting in concept. The sequels showed us all the stuff we had been told in the first game (especially its Codex), but that's not better worldbuidling, it's better writing and execution. The only race that got better was the Asari, who went from space lesbians in skintight suits to space lesbians in skintight suits who sweep shameful stuff under the rug. That sounds dismissive, but that's mostly because I'm matching the tone of your argument; honestly, the Asari do win the Most Improved award.

Also, I don't understand what point you're trying to make with that sarcastic last comment.
