All this is entirely subjective and my opinion only...
ME1's graphics aren't the problem with it; they're dated, but of their time, and perfectly adequate really. If the trilogy were remastered (which I think unlikely), the biggest improvements would be to the combat system and the inventory management.

I don't even mind the combat so much. I suppose streamlining things to make them the same across the three games would be nice but it's not a dealbreaker. Though, maybe it's more problematic on consoles than PC but it's not a priority to me. The only thing I'd change is inventory management. It was really horribly done, especially since you could even conceivably max out on omni-gel, meaning that not only can't you hold the item but you can't even convert it to something useful. That I could pick up more than I could carry before I could sell something - or want to hang on to because it will be useful in the future but isn't quite yet (don't have the skill rank yet). Yes, that was a bit frustrating.
All this said, I do not want the OT on Frostbite. As a PC gamer, I like the mods that have been offered like MEHEM, EGM, same sex romance, Anderson Extended Conversation, wardrobe changes to let me out of Cerberus clothes in ME2...Frostbite doesn't seem conducive to modding in this way so I'll pass.

If this include MEA facial animations as well, nobody. If ME1 remaster ever happens, I want it to be with ME3 graphics and mechanics, the combat in ME3 is the best in the series

Ambivalent, because even if they do it, I won't buy and replay the game. I've played MET, enjoyed it, and I am not a replay fiend. Graphics, combat, or anything else won't change it. What I want are new games more often.

That I could pick up more than I could carry before I could sell something - or want to hang on to because it will be useful in the future but isn't quite yet (don't have the skill rank yet). Yes, that was a bit frustrating. This is actually one of my goals whenever I re-play ME1 these days. Get everything (including omni-gel) ot max. It's kind of a little side challange I give myself. Pro-tip: Convert everything you do not immediately use to omnigel right away from the start and only start selling equipment, once you have omnigel at about 750-800. This way, you'll convert a lot of cheap level 1-V items and will only sell the more expensive level V-X items. With those, you'll be rich in no time. And since there really isn't much to buy until you have access to spectre equipment, you don't need money either. Licenses and medigel/grenade upgrades are cheap enough, you can buy them anyway. On topic: With MEUTIM installed, i think ME1 actually looks really good, especially given it's age. A lot of the effects, like the excessive lens flares as well as the sleek and sterile overall art style cover up some of the age problems anyway IMO. And the faces looked great for the time anyway. For some aliens, I think they actually look better and more alive in ME1 then they did in Andromeda. Check out this comparison of two turians Garrus with ME1 MEUTIM: And here is Kandros, a main turian character in ME:A I mean, it may be personal taste or something but to me, Garrus looks more life-like, more plastic than Kandros does, despite the fact that the games are 10 years apart. Don't get me wrong, this is not an ME:A bash, I think ME:A has some gorgeous visuals, especially where environments are concerned and I'd love to see e.g. ME1's barren UNC worlds in the frostbite engine with tons of detail and effects but I think in order to really improve ME1, BW would have to put a lot of work into it. Just importing ME1 in the new engine (somehow because that alone would already be super difficult from what i know, they'd basically have to build it from scratch anyway) wouldn't really improve much about the game for me at all. If anything, I'd like to see a remake that completely redesigns the MAKO gameplay, remakes most of the environments (especially of the UNC planets), updates the combat gameplay, inventory management and maybe restores some of the cut content (like the mining settlement on Therum). At the same time, they'd need to surpass the standards of ME:A by quite a bit to make it good (especially menu management is even worse in ME:a than ME1). I don't see that happening until ME1 is really unplayable and they can reboot the entire series in 10 years or so. Until then, I am perfectly happy with ME1/MEUTIM as it is though, so no worries from my side.

Or do you mean that they should adjust ME1 to the retcons introduced by ME2/3?

Well, how long have you got? As much as I love the OT, it's full of oddities. Frex- How can humanity have come so far in less than 30yrs? Just change the timeline a bit, add a couple of hundred years on since first contact. Wouldn't change the game one iota and it would make sense that we were a galactic power. And how Zaeed set up a galaxy spanning mercenary outfit and lost it within a few years of first contact.
How come nobody knows what quarians look like? It was only 300yrs ago they became nomads. They'd developed interstellar travel but not photography or even painting? And why don't the asari remember? Either make the Morning War millenia ago or just give us quarian faces up front.
Boob armour. Really?
There are plenty more but those spring to mind.

Boob armour. Really? There are plenty more but those spring to mind. I agree that the timeline is extreme. I'd rather they don't really change such fundamentals however, rather hint at some explanations (like e.g. underhanded help for humanity from the council to make us a proxy against the batarians). Also agree about the quarians, their appearance shoundln't have been such a big deal. IIRC, in ME1 it was more a question about how much cybernetics they use under those suits these days though. It was mor in the later games that their appearance itself became a question. The "boob armor", well, I doubt you'll see an improvement on this if they ever make a reboot. ME1 was by far the most modest game in that regard. Anyway, If they remake it, I'd rather they don't change the fundamentals. You might as well create a new IP if you do that.

I don't. No new Mass Effect will happen for years or decades but if it did they need to change their engine. The character in ME1 and DAO had the earthy feel to them, they didn't have that glossy plastic look to them that DAI and MEA have. They seemed more real despite worse graphics.

Nah, not interested in a remaster that remakes the game in another engine. Just give me HD textures (which MEUITM does for ME1), an unlocked framerate, native 21:9 resolution support, and maybe controller compatibility on PC (for my friends - for myself I use kb + m).

I really don't like how Bioware's games look with frozebyte engine (DAI or MEA). The lightning effect are strange, colors too + some other things that bother me. I'm really happy with MEUITM mod, the man behind this mod did a really awesome job, really don't need a remaster from bioware especialy if it's with frozebyte :x

Yeah I totally agree with you OP. I think we should all rebuild/repaint every artistic masterpiece in the world because they no longer look new and fancy. I mean, just look at the Great Sphinx of Giza. What is this shit? Minecraft in real life?

If they are going to do one they might as well touch up the others, though number 1 is where it would need most of the work. The graphics could use a touch up but not in the frostbite engine hell no! I didn't mind the combat to be honest but I did enjoy number 3s the most. The inventory in Mass Effect 1 would need to be fixed up as well like others have said.
I would definitely buy it again in a heart beat and I am hopefully it does happen sometime in the future.

Don't think we "need" a remaster as to me they hold up fine and I've never been big on graphics, the story and interactions make that game more so than the combat and everything else.
Would be interesting to see how different ME1-3 would be in the FB3 engine though cause that engine is a BEAST when it comes to looks.

graphically update the whole trilogy with some bug fixes. I'd get it. But will they do it? Who knows. I doubt it usually they have small developers do graphical updates. Neither Insomniac games nor Naughty Dog did the Ratchet and Clank or Crash trilogy update for PS3/4. So if EA was willing to update the graphics I doubt that BioWare will touch them.

Boob armour. Really? There are plenty more but those spring to mind. To be fair the game tells us that right up to contact Humanity had mastered inter solar travel and colonized or at least started to harvest the resources of all planets in the system they could. And were just starting tests on developing intergalactic travel. So there had to be a large population already and once the gate was opened they flooded out. That being said looking at ME 1 as a stand alone it isn't that odd. It is the addition of ME 2 and 3 were they jump humanity from minority to majority. Boob armor isn't that odd. It isn't really even armor since the advent of kinetic barriers. Just a hard suit to protect them from environment. Not met many women who actually enjoy the feeling of a sports bra but use it because they have to. Combined with the squish that would happen using the same body shape as male Shepard would use. To compensate it would need to be overly bulky on the front end which could interfere with combat. It seems stupid I know but it actually makes some sense.
