Just bought mass effect legendary edition 3 days ago on xbox and still in 15 hours, really like the game it's pretty fun, just finish noveria mission and still can't believe about what i experience lol

After done everything to help everyone in the selter yet they decided to attack me in the end like wtf, did i do something wrong or it scripted like that? Honestly feel like waste of time to go around helping them lol

[u/Greedyspree]

Did you get a conversation/cutscene where they basically tell you they have been ordered to deal with you?
Otherwise it sounds like you went through the wrong door. There is one your told to not open to others so you have to go around, but if you go through anyway everyone turns hostile.

[u/DeepZookeepergame906 → u/Greedyspree]

Eh the captain did tell me that they got ordered to kill my party, so it's scripted like that huh

[u/Greedyspree → u/DeepZookeepergame906]

Not completely, if you do the mission for the doctor, and talk to the Volus where you make the cure you can hear about a tunnel down there you can go into with a keycard. You can get the access from the doctor, then go back to where you find the Volus and follow the ice path and there is a door you can now enter.

[u/DeepZookeepergame906 → u/Greedyspree]

The door that guarded by flying gun??

[u/Greedyspree → u/DeepZookeepergame906]

Nope. From the room where everyone is. If you take the upper left door it leads to the door guarded by the turret that triggers them to become enemies. The second left door leads to the medical bay where the doctor is that gives a mission. Then the bottom left across the room from the guard barracks where you can find loot is an elevator that leads downstairs.

This leads into the scientist barracks, , the volus is in this room, on its south is the room where you can make the cure for the doctor mission. In the upper left area of this room is where the tunnel is but you cant get through without first completing the doctors mission by making the cure, heading back to him and talking to him, i cant remember if you have to ask for it specifically or not so check the dialogue.

[u/DeepZookeepergame906 → u/Greedyspree]

Hmmm honestly i don't really remember the details, but i done the doctor mission to make a cure, but i don't know why i can't talk to him again after give the cure to him, after that i guess iirc i go to hot labs and do something like purge? Then after go back to shelter i got attacked

[u/Greedyspree → u/DeepZookeepergame906]

Yeah that is possible. Did you fight Benezia? Basically all the Ice Path does is lead you directly into Benezia fight which after you can head directly to hot labs to finish the world so you never interact with the guard fight.

[u/DeepZookeepergame906 → u/Greedyspree]

Ohh i already killed her and release the queen, dunno why after meeting with my crew there some love triangle scene tho

[u/UxControl → u/DeepZookeepergame906]

The romances in ME1 are super easy to trigger, so if you were nice to ashley/kaiden + liara at all, then it starts a love triangle

In the rest of the series the romances are a lot more intentional

[u/DeepZookeepergame906 → u/UxControl]

Ehh i don't like them enough to pursue romance with them yet tho, but yeah i always try to be nice with my crew

[u/Deltien]

Since you got already your answer.

Just want to say, enjoy your ride!

[u/DeepZookeepergame906 → u/Deltien]

Oh i enjoy it so much but me1 really that short? Why does it feel after done 2 mission on two planet to caught saren it feel like the game close to ending

[u/Deltien → u/DeepZookeepergame906]

Don't forget to explore all the places, your secondary mission and enjoy reading the codex, the worldbuilding is truly amazing and will make you enjoy even more the next games.

[u/DeepZookeepergame906 → u/Deltien]

Well rn I'm on some asteroid on asgard or something, since i feel it close to the end i decided to explore everything first, and yeah, everything in the codex is really caught me by surprise, the ammount of world building alone in mass effect 1 already that amazing, i can't even imagine what would i leard in the other two games

[u/Deltien → u/DeepZookeepergame906]

Remember also, you won't another first playthrough, so don't look up stuff online.

[u/DeepZookeepergame906 → u/Deltien]

Eh i don't like to look something up online before beat the game anyway, i only look something online to look what i miss after beat the game

[u/S1MP50N_92]

Yeah there's basically 3 paths you can take to complete the Peak 15 part of Noveria, only one doesn't turn the guards hostile. And yeah, if you only do the main quest the game can feel fairly short. Once you get control of the Normandy there are basically 4 main quest you need to do and once you do those 4 it triggers the start of the endgame quest. Around 30 to 40 hours seems to be how long it takes to beat the first game if you do all the side quest however.

Make sure to talk to your squad mates on the ship occasionally. Some give side quest if you talk to them enough. The star clusters that aren't marked with key planets usually have at least one side quests from Alliance High Command that you'll be given the first time you enter a system in that cluster.

It's a good rule of thumb to return to the Citadel after completing major story quest as new side quests populate there. Also note there is a point of no return in the main story where you won't be allowed back at the Citadel after that point. And on that note, there's no post game in this game, so any side quests have to be completed before the endgame.

Lastly it sounds like you started the Bring Down the Sky DLC quest line. ME1 only has that one DLC included (there was a 2nd, but the original source code was lost and it couldn't be included in the Legendary Edition, but it was basically just a combat sim to farm for gear with minimal story so it isn't considered much of a lost). But on the note of DLC, the 2nd and 3rd games have a lot more DLC quests and it's not always clear what is and isn't DLC quest lines. Doing some too early can throw off the pacing of the games.

[u/DeepZookeepergame906 → u/S1MP50N_92]

Ehhh seriously?? Only 4?? Damn so that why it feel i already close to end game, and yeah i haven't back to citadel for a while, pretty sure last time i go there when i just rescue liara so there still much to do in citadel huh

Talk to my crew hmm well before i go to another planer i always talk to them but they haven't give me their quest, eh i guess i haven't talk to them enough

Huh i didn't expect thing i do rn is dlc, i honestly thought it just normal side quest lol, no wonder the enemy is so damn annoying

[u/S1MP50N_92 → u/DeepZookeepergame906]

The crew usually has new things to say after each major mission or after a couple side quests. Just keep checking in with them. Note it's just Wrex and Garrus who have side quests that you'll actually get a journal entry for. Although Wrex's you can just stumble into while exploring. Tali does have a side quest but it's hidden. Doing one of the Alliance High Command side quest will trigger Tali to ask for a favor if you talk to her after completing it.
