I've just renewed my wedding vows with Mass Effect. (Mass Effect fav poll as well)

I'm currently going through a whole trilogy run, full Renegade with my newest Infiltrator Femshep. Have to say, Mass Effect 1 is still my favourite in the entire trilogy, mostly because it's the most fun to play, had the best RPG approach and story-wise it's also the most cohesive.

Mass Effect definitely was the most RPG-like of all the games. I liked part two because it gave you the perfect balance between action game and RPG. The powers were amazing and the DLC was simply the best in the franchise. Kasumi mission, Liaras mission to find the shadow broker? When I finally saw the Shadow Broker after that amazing dlc I was like omgoogle! So much action! I didnt finish Mass Effect 3 on the 360 when I had it but I am finishing it on the PS3 after I finish my part two playthrough. I am playing through everything on hard. I'll play on insanity later on, much later on. As much as I love this franchise the whole trilogy takes like 120 hours to beat it if you really take your time to enjoy all the game has to offer.

The only thing that annoys me on Mass Effect 1 is that we didn't get the ability to start from Insanity from the get go. You've had to do 2 playthroughs to unlock that difficulty, and everytime that you re-installed the game (I play the trilogy on the PC) you'd have to do it all over again. 

After playing ME on Insanity, Veteran and Hardcore just don't feel challenging anymore. 

I agree with you on ME2 DLC being the best in the franchise. I really liked the Shadow Broker mission, and it was actually rather challenging (the final battle with the Shadow Broker was tough as hell on Insanity) and Liara ending up being the next Shadow Broker was an amazing touch.
