This has not aged very well.

I would still say it's the most consistent writing effort within the mass effect trilogy, and this was before the choice wheel was in its full form, so the dialogue with npcs is alot better on average. The squadmates don't hold a candle to the sequel, though, and it's hard not to sour on the games plot ending on a cliffhanger when we now know what it's all leading to. The gameplay and the mako segments are truly hideous by now too.
