Hopefully you haven't imported your save because the default Shepard is a bumbling racist twit.
Anyway, the game is pretty easy imo and I've heard that Soldiers are the easiest class to play so you should be fine. Only advice I have is not to be shy about the melee attack because it's damn powerful now.

Don't delay in doing the side missions, they expire after a while.
Thanks.

Wait, what? I should or shouldn't have imported it?
yeah, the melee attack is great when it connects.

The character development goes through the roof in the second and third game. In the first game a lot of the characters are pretty bland compared to how they're handled in the following games, particularly Tali and Garrus, who both shine in the sequels.
Convenient for you that I have not played the others but I doubt it personally.,

He's actually right, tbh. The characters in 2 and 3 are for the most part excellently portrayed. They're witty, funny, and passionate when they need to be, and it's convincing.
I didn't think I'd have interactions ever again like I'd had in Dragon Age, but the ME games equal if not surpass those.

lol. I had imported him anyway, as I had forced myself to finish a 50 or so hour playthrough of ME2 beforehand, so that I could get the proper story.
I know that feeling, Pr. I was late to the series as a whole because I just didn't own a 360 for the longest time and my PC is too old to handle it properly, so I was running from ME on up. I decided, to save on time and because it seemed like a fun experiment, that I wouldn't go back on any decisions I made, no reloading saves or none of that. It made for a single compelling story for my Shepard that had amazing highs and terrible lows and came to a bittersweet ending as I finished ME3.
Not sure how you play, but whatever options you take, I'm sure you'll have a great time. 🙂

This is good advice. Don't allow yourself to go back and redo any decisions if you are unhappy with the outcome, it makes for a much more powerful game and a greater feeling of your choices being meaningful, and it gives you a reason to replay the game/series later on if you wish.

Play them or don't play them, I couldn't care less.

That's what I'm going to do when I replay the series in it's entirety, and actually make choices that I would of made instead of thinking what would make me paragon, or renegade.
I'm hoping they get away from that in the next series of games and have the reaction to your decisions more organic without a score attached to it.

That's actually what I tend to do when I play these games. I leave alternate decisions for my next playthrough.
One thing that has amazed me, in all honesty, is the scope of the game. I was doing a mission on the Citadel, and through one renegade moment (like, something that flashed on screen), I saved one life but doomed an entire planet to the reapers.
The game really does make you feel like a war is on, and that every choice you make has consequences. I love that.

When I play it, I naturally make decisions I would make. Because I generally lean towards mostly paragon decisions anyway, that means i'm getting a good playthrough, but i've had some serious renegade moments due to my own morality coming in to it.
**** the Salarians.

Heh, I think I know exactly which mission you're speaking of, and if so, I followed the same method. Apparently there are ways to still get around that, too, though I'm not entirely sure. I think some of it has to do with choices from DLC from ME and ME2.

I think you and I have similar ideals, then. What was really interesting for me was noticing just how much more complex decisions got between games. I was able to play through all of ME without making a renegade choice and I was still more or less okay with the end result (though there were a few times where I screwed myself over by not having a high enough paragon to keep things from happening, which made for interesting changes). With 2 and 3, though, a lot of decisions, and not just the use of the trigger system, had me pausing to really think about which choice fit my actual beliefs.
Also, yes, with a very small number of exceptions.

Son of a *****. I just found out there's a way for you to keep EVERYONE alive in ME2's suicide mission.
Heh, I can't see how that escaped your notice. I had to work during my second playthrough to make at least some of them die during the suicide run, everyone survived without problems the first time around.
Also, is the Omega DLC out yet?

I lost three people:
Spoiler:
I didn't want to lose Tali or Legion, so I sent Kasumi in to the pipes. I didn't know Tali or Legion would automatically survive.
I didn't have Zaeed's loyalty, and that meant that letting him lead the secondary team got him killed.
Somehow, Mordin died during the final battle (he was with my non-squad fighting off the Collectors).I'll have to make sure I have a full Paragon bar next time.
No it's not out yet, but I'll be wanting to get it.
