Is there a right order/time to play for the dlcs

When going through a play though is there a best time to do the dlcs when progressing the story, if so what order. I’ve played all 3 games but never with any dlc. So I’m gonna try it here soon. Thanks again everyone.

Trying to hype myself up for a renegade ru

I'm scared I'll have to lose characters i love. maybe I'm just being stupid but being renegade will i be forced into any of the "bad" results for missions like say the genophage or wrex on virmire?

Never again

It was hard but not impossible although most of my deaths I blame on the game being inconsistent with the damage I took even with upgrades. Also if some of you wondering the short time frame from my first post to this. It's because I mostly speed ran this game on this difficulty so only a few survived the suicide mission.

So I'm looking for a fanfic?

This one was an older one if I remember right.....But It was before the games, one human got abducted and later rescued by an asari specter he ended up joining her crew had a very farscape feel to it

What more do I need to get the geth and quarians (me3)?

First of all, is this enough reputation or do I need more? Here's what I have already done to get the points, but I'm not sure if it's enough:

Tali did not get exiled and I didn't share the info about her father

Saved Admiral Koris

Rewrote the heretics (I know destroying them is how you get the points but I just couldn't do it)

Maintained both Tali and Legions loyalty

Both survived suicide mission (me2)

Completed Rannoch: Geth Fighter Squadrons

Is there anything else I need or can I start Priority: Rannoch?

Saren’s little tantrum (ME1 Spoilers)

So at the beginning, what was the deal with Saren’s little tantrum after being told about Shepard’s victory on eden prime, like he threw some stuff and started yelling being violent, and then never did anything like that again for the rest of the game, what was that about?

My issue with the Leviathan DLC

No one cares. I'm sure this isn't a unique opinion, but after Admiral Hackett says "this rewrites galactic history as we know it", I sprinted to all of our favorite archeologist, and she said pretty much nothing!!! Garrus is the only person that even remotely treats this with the seriousness it deserves, everyone else is like "I don't know, can we trust it?"

TRUST IT? WE FOUND GOD

I mean, I know it's hard to account for a plot point that the player can choose to do at almost any point in the story, but it truly feels like there's no payoff. There's this huge moment where you talk to the architects of the apocalypse and then you're back on the Normandy 300 points richer and everyone is like "Damn that was crazy. Anyway". We found a race that knows everything about the reapers, have watched the events of every single cycle, including the protheans, and to top it all off, we watch it kill an entire fucking reaper in front of our eyes. And no one cares

A couple questions about bonus powers

1: I just spoke to Javik after Priority: Horizon but did not get dark channel, any idea why?

2: If I end ME:2 with reave as a bonus power and import that character, will I have it in ME:3 at the start or will I still have to go through to the point in which I can unlock it?

Is there a single character than can be romanced in all 3 games?

I completed the first playthrough few days ago, really liked the game, and i romanced Tali then. Now i want to do a better playthrough and romance same character across all 3 games. According to google, Liara fits the bill but some dlc must be completed, is there anyone else?

why are there no overweight husks?

Its unrealistic to expect all humans to be normal size. Especially when many wealthie nation have a much higher obesity rate. Unless tgey turned all tge fat ones into scions and praetorians? Maybe they had an amazing weight loss drug from sirta?

Admiral Hackett

What is your opinion on Admiral Hackett in the Mass Effect games?

I personally couldn't stand him in the first Mass Effect game just calling Shepard to go investigate some random stuff was very irritating to me.

I like him a little bit more in the second Mass Effect since in my playthrough I'm still very loyal to the Alliance especially with the Batarian system DLC.

In the third game I appreciate how he is willing to work with anyone Shepard can recruit especially the Rachni without questions.

Over all I think he is a good admiral that is very honest with Shepard when they are questioning themselves in the third game and it makes me very sad at the thought of Admiral Hackett not being in the newest Mass Effect game.

Also note I did not draw this picture of Admiral Hackett.
