So if I wanted to start getting into Mass Effect, but know nothing about the games except for the few characters everyone screams about, where would be a good place to start? I binge played DAO and DA2 last summer for less than three weeks to get to DAI, but I don’t really want to do that again. Any suggestions to which of the ME games I can skip and not lose complete understanding? Do I absolutely need to play the first and second, or can I skip one before the third?
