Been playing the remastered Mass Effect trilogy lately – the Legendary Edition – and it’s been a lot of fun. I’ve played the trilogy once before, but that was ages ago, and I didn’t have any of the DLCs (all included in the LE).

I’m not that far into the game, just picked up Liara and that was the second mission I did after leaving the Citadel, so there is a long journey ahead. Very cool.

I was planning on playing on insanity, but since I know I will do more playthroughs, I figured I might as well save that for later, so I went with veteran instead, one level above normal.

Also made a last-minute change about class – I guess premeditating didn’t go too well this time – and decided to go with adept. Was infiltrator last time, and thought I might try sentinel this time, but something about adept captured my imagination.

One thing that’s enhancing my enjoyment this time around is that I’m listening to the official Mass Effect books in parallel to playing. Learning more about Anderson and Saren, or even just seeing the Citadel through the eyes of Anderson, and so on, is so much fun and makes the whole experience richer and more meaningful. And knowing in more detail what a bastard Saren is will make it all the more satisfying ending his miserable life later on.
