I'm torn between my past experiences. I've played those games multiple times, likely ten or more. Understanding any texture packs that could let me customize the games would really help me decide. Since I don’t often mod, I’m only familiar with Nexus-compatible titles.

Is it available on Steam? I haven’t played it yet, but seeing the first two titles there suggests I might be missing the third one.

Yes. ME1 and 2 are amazing, the 3rd one is good too

Beyond the piles of DLC you can only acquire with Bioware points (available via Origin), spending $15 is quite reasonable. 2 and 3 are packed with DLC, some offering compelling stories and enhancing the narrative, though Mass Effect 1 DLC can be skipped without losing major content. I have most of the DLC because I’m a big Mass Effect fan, but keep in mind—that’s how they generate most of their revenue from these titles.

1 and 2 are excellent choices. 3 was hurried and doesn’t quite meet my expectations. However, for $15 you can get all three and play them sequentially.

This experience is a real highlight—there are some visual tweaks for 3 and keyboard shortcuts to try, though I’m not sure if they work for me. Worth looking into!

Unfortunately, the third version is exclusive to the original release. However, the past few months have made me think the original isn’t so bad after all. It’s doing its job well. The update is still rough, but I wouldn’t risk it.

The source is acceptable since it works. Uplay operates poorly, and the way it integrates into games that Origin doesn’t actively promote appears weak.

Do you think anyone knows where to find texture packs to enhance the game's appearance? Most options don't improve PC graphics, and the ME3 version has very poor textures overall.
