I don't know if I mentioned it here or not, but messing around with these fan models in DAZ (and Poser before that) encouraged me to buy the ME trilogy. Got through it, but didn't really get into it all that much.

It's still fun to do the occasional fanart (in-series or out-of-series), though.

Yeah, I hear you. I did a couple of the original individual ME games, but not the trilogy. I really got into the lore of it.
