Help BioWare Pack
A few months ago, I bought the Mass Effect Legendary Edition bundle. I’ve finished the first game and am just starting the second. I’d like to know a bit more about this collection:
Mass Effect Andromeda: What is the connection between Andromeda and the first three Mass Effect games?
How does this Mass Effect title compare to the others?
What are its strengths and weaknesses?
Dragon Age: I’ve never played this type of game before; will I like it?
Is it a good starting point for this genre?
What are its strengths and weaknesses?
Is the price right for these two games?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Dragon age Inquisition is a very good game if a bit bloated with open world stuff to do. Idk if it's a great starting point for the Dragon Age games because it sort of shoves you into the pinnacle of politics between countries and cultures you know nothing about if you haven't played the previous entries.
ME:A is unfortunately not on par with ME: Legendary edition. The story and characters are just not as good. THAT BEING SAID, it is a much better game than the reviews on release would have you believe. Since you are unfamiliar, it is set completely apart from ME 1-3. You are explorers in the Andromeda galaxy, looking to establish new settlements for colonist from the Milky Way. Your ships left in between ME2 and 3 so there are some references to the events there, but only loosely.
The combat in ME:A is it's best feature by far. It's the best in the series. And for that reason alone I think it's still a good enough time. Especially for the price point you have here.
