So in Mass Effect 3, BioWare got back into the swing of things a little bit with a small amount of weapon customization and upgrading. I’m not sure I ever changed my weapons in the entirety of Mass Effect 2 – that’s how much they got rid of the system. In Mass Effect 2, they solved the problems from the first game by essentially getting rid of the whole thing. The disaster of that game’s inventory is well documented elsewhere (my favorite is at ), but suffice to say it wasn’t good. Not to mention trying to make a well informed decision about what you should be using. In the first game, there were just so many weapons that you picked up along the way, managing them all was ridiculous.
The weapon system has gone through a number of changes in the Mass Effect series.
