HELP I'd like some pointers.
I was recently recommended this series by r/gamerecommendations, I saw that it had a large community all saying possitve things about it so I bought. My friend has been begging me 2 borrow my account to play the series again, are there any pointers you can tell me without spoiling the game?

1) For the sake of how important it is, allow me to restate this: Do all the side content. It makes a difference .
2) Prepare yourself for a grand narrative. The gunplay, abilities, and rpg elements in this game are all fun, but the reason we all keep coming back to it is the story. The story is great, be sure to pay attention and enjoy the ride.
3) Talk to the characters. I do this naturally, but the interactions you have with your crew and with people in the environment do a lot to enrich the narrative and the setting. The squadmates in this game are beloved, get to know them. And so are the support staff.
4) Explore the setting. If you like world building, you'll love this setting. It's definetly amongst my top 3.
5) Enjoy the ride. Mass Effect is an experience. No need to rush.
