just buy the legendary version

the lighting changes aren't that big a deal

and then pick adept for the most fun

Don't listen to this faggot
>>
>>741928774
pirate the original
>>
>>741928774
Complete every task and don’t worry about going exclusively paragon or reengage.
If you have LE change controls how Maco behaves, something about aiming ad moving. And download lighting mods.

I would say pirate the originals but you have to do a bunch of annoying BS to get the DLCs working and a lot of good mods dropped support.

If you think the effort would kill your interest then I'd get the remake and make sure to install MELLO and Saren stages. There are also mods that unlock cut content, as well as give you access to morality locked missions so you can get all the content in one run. Photo mode is also alright.

Legendary edition. It goes to like 5 bucks with every steam sale. I found LE more enjoyable than the original, and it looks nicer. And you can actually sprint outside combat unlike the original.

Watch a youtube playthrough.

legendary.
anyone saying otherwise is an autist over complicating things for no reason.
>>
>>741932685
because it's obviously the only answer
if you give your money to EA for ANYTHING you should immediately cut your wrists vertically and then hang yourself

I personally don't like how ME1 version of legendary edition looks like. I would rather just use patch mods. Not sure if you can move original game save to legendary edition ME2 however.

Legendary Edition with:

>Galaxy Map Trackers
>ME'LLO

Genuine best way to play the game,

mouse and kb probably
>>
>>741938626
>>Diversification Project
this is sovlless as fuck by virtue of changing the door and elevator sounds to the ME2/3 one alone
agree with rest, and community patch is practically necessary if you want shit to actually carry over into the next games

Paragon to your crew and the characters you like
Renegade to everyone else.

Dont minmax, have fun. Punch the reporter.

Oh, but it's bundled and has native controller support!
Kill yourself utter waste of skin.

Not him, but for example in mass effect 2 you were supposed to be able to get legion much earlier, but consoles/disc sizes or something made it impossible so in the final version you're only able to get legion at the very end of the game.

Also if you don't immediately max out the charm bonus points stat and pick 95% blue or red options you literally will not be able to pick 2 of the dialogue options that insure Miranda and Jack remain loyal, fuck that shit.

I got so bored with ME1 that I turned Shepard into a schizo, alternating paragon and renegade choices
Like he'd punch someone for no reason and then apologize right after. Or kiss Liara and then yell at her and tell her to leave. Very bizarre but amusing

>>741928774
Don't.

Original PC version with the ME1Controller mod so you can play the way god intended, no other mods.

I only liked it when it wasn't taken so seriously i.e. ME2 throwing the gay reaper plot out the window. Andromedaposting online was also pretty fun

If you have an xbox one or whatever the newest console is then through backwards compatibility.

If you have only a PC then you have to choose which is more important to you. The OG on PC has better lightening but you'll still need to install ALOT at minimum to fix the broken textures that never got patched. You'll also need to do some tweaking to the exe and other stuff to get it to run properly. Good news is the ALOT installer does it all for you.

If you play the LE version then you'll need to install lightening mods like mello to try and get the OG aesthetics. It'll never look quite right but the environments look better overall then the OG. It's important to know even with mods the LE models still look wierd. The devs messed the eye lids up specifially and made the eyes overall bigger which makes the characters look funny. Also you'll need the various uncensor mods if you want the original experience.

Ultimately I'd recommend just looking through the nexus for both the OG and LE versions to see if there's specifics mods you want to use. If you've never played the game before though just get the original.

>>741945827
To me they just fucked up the lighting, effects and some textures. Eden Prime doesn't look quite the same, doesn't have that feel.
I guess for some it wouldn't matter, however.
>>
>>741928774
>What's the best way to play ME1?
You play it and stop there with the franchise.
Easy as pie.
And avoid the remaster

''anyone'' it is just one dude sitting on 4chan all day everyday just waiting for a ME thread so he can post his schizo bullshit all day long. i doubt he plays any games. Probably a bot.

If you aren't using soldier or infiltrator to get the biggest bonuses for your 3x scram rail sniper rifle with high explosive ammo (turning said rifle into a portable rail gun) then you haven't actually played Mass Effect 1.

Vanguard is fun though

Garrus is the most redpilled of the companions by far. he makes Wrex look like a whiny little girl.
>>
>>741928774
I like infiltrator the most in ME1, really good CC and snipers are like, one of the more busted weapon types in the game thanks to infinite ammo. if you mean which version, it really depends. the bundled ports are convenient, but have some visual issues. there are mods that fix some issues though, but not all. no idea if the original releases have compatibility issues with modern hardware
