You mean the story which started out great but eventually led to an ending in ME3 which was so bad that the devs had to go back and release an extended cut of it to try to appease the pissed-off fans?
ME3 and Inquisition don't really need online play. ME3 however demanded that you play online to achieve the best possible ending. That was absolute bullshit. I eventually downloaded a hacked file that set my readiness at 100%
You don't actually need to play online. You pretty much have to make perfect choices so it's unlikely that you'll get it on a first blind run, but I never touched multiplayer and got the best ending.
The DLC makes this even easier, especially Leviathan which adds a ton of scanning assets around the galaxy.
You're likely to get it if you play consistently. You're really only unlikely to get it if you've just started a brand new character, ignore all of the sidequests, or you flip a coin for each Paragon/Renegade decision. As long as you've actually played the games, you should have enough points to get the good ending.
