It's just that, as you said, the characters in ME1 were much more believable. You didn't stop and wonder "why are these people on my ship?"
ME2 had good character concepts, but poor character execution. They were interesting on their own, but didn't really fit into the story. Except the Illusive Man, who was actually quite delightful.
And Sovereign was a character, so the award for most interesting/terrifying character interaction goes to ME1.

Eerrrrh. I want to be, but it seems so rushed. I don't want another ME2.

Gameplay of ME2 + Story and character depth of ME1 = Best game ever.

I'll give you story... but most of the characters in ME1 were terrible.

So it is. Absurdly addictive, now that I'm getting the hang of it. *NM*

It was great at the time, but the interface has aged so terribly that I can't touch it anymore. *NM*

I never really got into the first Dragon Age, so that would be a no.
