Yup, 'scary' is definitely the operative word! I'd forgotten about the Fox purchase, too - the "??? they own THAT?" never ends.
I've never heard a good word about S4 that didn't come with plenty of qualifiers attached. :/ I'm certainly not in a rush, though I remember quite liking the one episode of S5 I did see (the second D&D one).
Those sorts of moments + nostalgia add up to make ME1 more memorable than the other two for me (along with the music - Vigil's theme will never not give me shivers), buuuut I agree it's the least fun to replay on a nitty-gritty level. In theory, I love the emphasis on space exploration; in practice, I can only put up with wrestling the Mako across identical sections of terrain for so long. (I also made my main!Shep an Infiltrator for some godforsaken reason because I had a specific character idea in mind, which means getting to enjoy sniper rifle scope drift for half the game. No, thank you.)
