It's their choice to play the first. Are you implying that Mass Effect 1 should have been inherently faceroll easy just so people could beat it to play ME2? People have the choice to play 1.0 now. Doesn't mean any part of it should be made stupidly easy.

Also, the Harry Potter example is an extremely bad example. The books aren't designed so you can start the story at book 3. A Realm Reborn MUST be designed in such a way that it is the start of the story.
