Welcome to my Steam Guide for Mass Effect. My tag is sinewav and the purpose of this guide is to help any players new to the Mass Effect 1 world have a good foundation of spoiler-free knowledge to have a better first experience with this game or who just wants some helpful pointers. I will also make some spoiler-free suggestions to parts 2 and 3 of the Trilogy where it will be helpful.

By now this game has been out a long time now and while there's already plenty of guides online with the new Steam Guides feature I felt it would benefit at least the Steam community have a quick beginner guide to help get you started with this great game.

This guide will be organized into four main parts, character creation, character progression, main quest and general gameplay. I made sure to give you as much advice as possible for character creation since this is perhaps the most crucial point where this advice is needed and then some tips to help ensure you continue to enjoy the game to its climactic finish. As I come up with more ideas I will add to the guide and of course any helpful feedback I receive on how to improve the guide I will incorporate as well.

Thank you all for taking an interest in my guide and I hope any of the tips here help you enjoy Mass Effect 1 to its fullest potential.

I have received a lot of great feedback so far and I have been adjusting my guide with some of the best suggestions as time allows. Thanks for those who have contributed.

Please Note: Now that the guide has been out for several months now I noticed that despite my best efforts some spoilers are making their way into the comments section. As a result all readers especially new players should use caution when reading guide comments if they wish to completely avoid potential spoilers. I will regularly update the guide with the best spoiler-free feedback so if you prefer you can avoid this section until you complete the game.
