Remaster Wishlist: What else do you want them to revamp if/WHEN they remaster our beloved Trilogy

So you're saying that I should accept BioWare's crappy writing and thanking them for making fan service for Shepard partying and making corny ass jokes. Sorry, not going to happen. And this doesn't affect or fix the horrible ending of that game, so they've done Shepard a disservice and the DLC is a disgrace to the franchise.

Look, if you like the DLC more power to you, but that doesn't mean I have to like it because you do. And I do have an issue how they operate because of their incompetence, inconsistency, and they don't want to learn from mistakes and start doing better. As I said, I don't mind when they are having moments of having joy and happiness as long as it is done right.

The original Mass Effect trilogy is one of my favorite video game series of all time.

The basis of my answer, the original Mass Effect trilogy ambitions were limited by the technology of its time and although Mass Effect: Andromeda proved to be a critical failure (not sure about financial) many of its ambitions for gameplay were inspired and well developed. So here are my general nine changes I would make to the original trilogy as a whole.

1. Character progression. Instead of locking Commander Shepard into one specific character class, allow players to cherry pick skills from each character class once experience points are awarded similar to Mass Effect: Andromeda.

2. Redo all animations. Cinematic scenes and standard gameplay need to be reworked to work on current generation systems.

3. Keep all voice recordings and call in original voice actors to expand on dialogue if necessary. In Mass Effect 2, Zaeed Massani and Kasumi Goto are downloadable characters (and also additional missions). Give them full blown conversations akin to the main crew. Unfortunately, the voice actor for Zaeed Massani, actor Robin Sachs died in 2013, so the options for that character are either, find an impressionist (similar to Red Skull in Avengers Infinity War) or recast the character and re-record all dialogue.

4. In Mass Effect 2, remove the Human Reaper. Make the Reaper that the Collector’s are building a standard Reaper as it would fall more in line narratively with the rest of the series and showcase the growing concern surrounding humanity on the part of the Reapers.

5. The Arrival Mission. Prompt the mission after you complete the Suicide mission in Mass Effect 2 as it makes more sense narratively.

6. Revise and Modify Commander Shepard’s romance options. Shepard should be able to have a romantic relationship regardless of gender with the following listed characters. I would also expand Gianna Parasini and Dr. Lizbeth Baynham as romance options to act as the spouse at home throughout the game series. I would also add Joker as a romance option for female Shepard. This would provide much needed diversity throughout the series

For the humans:

The Virmire Survivor
• Ashley Williams (Heterosexual - Only romance Male Shepard)
• Kaidan Alenko (Bisexual - Can romance Male or Female Shepard)
Miranda Lawson (Heterosexual - Only romance Male Shepard)
Jack (Heterosexual - Only romance Male Shepard)
Jacob Taylor (Heterosexual - Only Romance Female Shepard) NOTE: Redo his arc to reflect Shepard’s choices in Mass Effect 3.
Lieutenant Jeff “Joker” Moreau (Heterosexual - Can only romance Female Shepard)
Lieutenant Steve Cortez (Homosexual - Can only romance Male Shepard)
Gianna Parasini (Heterosexual - Can only romance Male Shepard)
Dr. Lizbeth Baynham (Homesexual - Can only romance Female Shepard)
Kelly Chambers (Heterosexual - Can only romance Male Shepard)
Samantha Traynor (Homosexual - Can only romance female Shepard)

For the aliens:

Garrus Vakarian (Pansexual - Only romance Female Shepard)
Tali’Zorah (Pansexual - Only romance Male Shepard)
Thane Krios (Pansexual - Only romance Female Shepard)
Liara T’Soni (Pansexual - Can romance Male or Female Shepard)
Justicar Samara (Pansexual - Can romance Male or Female Shepard)

7. Remove and modify the majority of side missions on Mass Effect 1. The only side missions that should remain in the original game should be:

• Pinnacle Station (Before you start the mission to hunt Saren, in order to train your team)
• Bring Down the Sky (Batarian asteroid attack on the colony of Terra Nova)
• Establish Mining Colonies on unexplored planets. Once colonies are established use the resources to rebuild Eden Prime, upgrade the Normandy, or upgrade equipment and weaponry.
• Cerberus (Incorporate as a side mission within the hunt for Saren and the Geth as Cerberus is collaborating with Saren in order to understand Reaper technology. Use this to introduce Kai Leng.) Also include in the Cerberus missions (1) The assassination of Admiral Kahoku and the Akuze Incident centered in the Voyager Cluster. (2) Experiments on Feros (Cerberus is a shareholder of ExoGeni), (3) Experiments on the Rachni after Noveria and (4) Experiments using Reaper Technology in order to understand indoctrination at Virmire.
• Rebuild Eden Prime Colony. Akin to a Hub; resources gathered throughout Mass Effect 1 should be used to rebuild the colony from Saren’s and the Geth’s attack; the more you rebuild the colony the more you can purchase and trade resources to update the Normandy and the team’s equipment. Once rebuilt, as Shepard you can start the Eden Prime fleet to gather resources throughout the cluster.

8. Have full environmental maps similar to Mass Effect Andromeda. In all three games, full maps should be made for:
The Citadel
• The Presidium (Seat of Galactic government)
• The Wards (All are multicultural, but there are 5 arms on the Citadel)
• The Human Ward
• The Asari Ward
• The Turian Wad
• The Salarian Ward
• The Commercial Ward (Hanar, Volus, Quarian, Batarian, Krogan and Drell)
Port Han Shan, Noveria
Binary Helix Facility, Noveria
Zhu’s Hope, Feros
ExoGeni Facility, Feros
Omega Space Station
Nos Astra, Illium

9. Make the uniforms throughout all three games consistent for each faction or military. Visually this was a pet peeve of mine, especially in the first Mass Effect. The uniforms should have been consistent.

If BioWare want to work on the trilogy again it needs a remake instead of a remaster, because they are plotholes to the story that doesn't make any sense, the ending needs to be revamped and rewritten entirely, and ME1 & 2 needs a serious overhaul.

I have 5 very simple wants.

1) To make the Kaidan/Shepard romance do-able from the first game without the need of console commands or mods. I will still use these every time, but it would be nice not to need them.

2) Untie the framerate from how the game functions in ME3, pretty sure ME1 and 2 didn't have this problem just ME3.

3) Make sure AMD hardware will run the games fine, while I know this is partially down to AMD themselves for discontinuing 3Dnow in their CPUs, it is still also the fault of Bioware for dumb coding resulting in characters&objects becoming fuzzy black blocks on Noveria and Ilos in ME1. (and faulty rendering of Tac Cloak in ME3???)

4) Implement AA options and Motion Blur similar to the quality of MEA. I'm probably a freak for liking motion blur AND post-process AA, but the MB and TAA in Andromeda are yummy to me, I'd like to have the same quality of those effects in ME1 through 3. Motion Blur was diiiiisgusting in ME1 and near non-existent in ME2. FXAA in ME3 was kinda rubbish and the MB was...ehhh, passable.

5) Fix all bugs and plot flags which were broken in the OT, good example is the infamous one with Conrad.
