That said, I think the decision (if it's true) not to include MP is poor by EA, and fairly short-sighted. Considering the shitstorm the MP inclusion caused when this game was launched(not by you specifically, mind you... I'm talking the general vibe I got from teh internetz), I think we can safely say we got the whole 360 degrees around. Funnily enough at the time of launch I was more angry at the Galaxy at War readiness component than I was at the Star Child/RGB endings etc. I had never played any MP games and had no desire whatsoever to engage. I didn't even really understand the difference between Co-op and PvP at that time. I was on my second SP playthrough before I dipped my toe in around the end of March 2012, when I was promptly kicked from the Bronze lobby I entered. It was via YouTube that I learned it was possible to solo, which is precisely what I went on to do for a few months. I unlocked the Krogan Soldier (RARRR!!!) and had solo'd Bronze 10 times before I eventually went pugging properly around the time of the final expansion. Now here we are, 8 years on and more than 4000 hours of my life has been spent holding the line! So, while I agree with you that it's likely they don't want to kick that hornets' nest again, I think the 'workaround' is merely to make MP fully optional, with no mandatory link to the SP campaign. Hell, all they would really need to do is 'locate' the MP within a slightly revised Armax Arena, given that the Citadel DLC will be part of the package. But it's EA. With or without MP, I have every confidence they'll just fuck the whole thing up anyway!

I liked the Andromeda system: loot in SP for playing MP. It gives profit but is never crucial for your goals.

Interestingly, I have heard more and more about this remaster. Apparently ME1 is not up to par, so it is going to get a lot of attention. BioWare wants new players to be able to enjoy the original game as if it were modern. On that note, I hope that they take the time to preserve as much about the original game as possible. I enjoyed the huge variety of armors, guns, mods, amps, and omni-tools. I liked customizing my squad so that we all had the same armor brands - although I do admit that Wrex usually gets the Battlemaster series from the Geth Armory most of the time.
I cannot wait to see the Citadel from the original ME in 4k resolution. Hanging out in that spot where we talked to Ashley and Kaidan about thigh high boots and a tin foil miniskirt will be epic. There are many worlds in the game that I will have to visit as well, just for the views.
I also seem to recall that they are NOT going to include multiplayer in the Mass Effect Legendary edition. Perhaps they will re-think this though. Surely they could find a way to make it profitable.
Frankly, I have no interest in ME3 at all, unless they go back and fix those horrid ending(s). It seems doubtful to me though, because they have too much hubris. Fixing those endings would un-bork the MEU and let us continue our adventures - paving the way to making even more money. Time will tell.

Non inclusion of multiplayer in this for me goes from 100% certain to buy to probably wait until price drops if i get it at all. Wait for some reviews of trusted people.

It really depends. I’d probably play the remastered multiplayer due to new player attention from a new release, and I’d make videos and shit of course. But I’d probably be unhappy with the multiplayer if all that happened was touched-up graphics. Some UI improvements, balance changes, and bugfixes that were never fixed in the original version would make it better remastered and re-released. Were it left the exact same, though, and literally zero changes or improvements - or heaven forbid LESS content - I’ll prefer the OG 2012 version.
Will see how it plays out. All I know for sure is, if there’s remastered ME3 multiplayer, I’ll be making videos on it like I always wanted to eight years ago.

I still don't believe the remaster, but holy fuck: I've always been joking that playing enough ME3MP will unlock the true ending and IF the remaster comes then I can only say:
We did it.
Disclaimer: Remaster won't likely change the ending, but frankly - who cares at this point?

I have no intention of paying twice for that rancid dogfart of a game. I doubt that most of the people that BioWare pissed off with that shitty game and pathetic endings will pay twice for it. Why do you think that Andromeduhhh was such an epic fail? The answer is simple - BioWare sucks, and sounds like Buyer BeWare. Anthem further proves the point that the premium talent that brought us the magic of ME1 and 2 are long gone.

The only thing I can imagine would be to play with all the DLC when bundled in. Everything else feels redundant and for a nostalgic revival the game isn't really old enough for.

I have no intention of paying twice for that rancid dogfart of a game. I doubt that most of the people that BioWare pissed off with that shitty game and pathetic endings will pay twice for it. Unpopular Opinions: non-Multiplayer Edition: ... ME3 is the best game in the series
Best "gameplay", best emotional level held throughout game. Citadel DLC: nuff said. . . . Okay, do I really believe that? Maybe not.
To me, ME1 is "best" for the story (and I always give points to the original). But I'm on my Nth playthrough now, and yes, it is clunky indeed. ME2: Way better mechanics, but still not quite there. Nice mission design. Cerberus stuff is a little clunky ("The Illusive Man" ... seriously?). And Human reaper ... stooopid. ME3: As stated above. Banshees, great combos, great scenes with former teammates (as opposed to ME2's cold shoulder from Ash/Kaidan/Liara). Sure the ending was garbage. But 20 min of bad (with last 5 min ultra-bad) doesn't near negate 40 hours of awesome.

I don't think I eould want to go through the grind for just an updated old game again, so I guess I would stick to the old game for a few matches here and there.

Since ME trilogy is included with EA Play, and EA Play is included with Gamepass, which I managed to buy 6 months of for a dollar, I'm playing my way through the trilogy from the beginning.
At first, I really liked revisiting the style in the first game. Then, eventually, the combat got to me. Even the Mako eventually got to me, and I love the Mako! But it turns out, only for about 12 planets. Then I did a bunch of "Mountain" planets and got over it right quick.
I didn't bother to do the Insanity playthrough because I knew the combat would be rough.
I imported the character to ME 2, and I'm a few missions in. I'm remembering the delightful choice to do the whole game using a red and yellow colour scheme, so that everything is low-contrast and hard to read.
This time I'm doing Insanity for the achievement I never got. That is proving to be tricky because my character started as level 3. They gave me 2 levels bonus for having imported from ME 1. It's not really making much difference.
But no Banshees (at least, not yet) so I should be okay. I forget what Collectors are like in ME 2. Hopefully not as bad as ME 3.

Game pass is one of the best deals in gaming. Agreed that ME1 combat does tire after a while. Good luck with me2 collectors. They being their A game for insanity

I hated the Mako but rather like the combat in ME1. It has one of the most fun ammo, can't recall the name but it is the one which imparts a lot of kinetic force.
ME2 doesn't have Banshees but they do have Praetorians and unlike the ones in ME3 MP, these are not pushovers you can slaughter by the dozen.
Maybe I'll give ME1 another go, only played the SP through 3 or 4 times so far. Should be fun to romance Ashley again but this time in HD textures.

I forget what Collectors are like in ME 2. That's just a subconscious psychological self-preservation technique. NG+ Insanity Collector Ship is not a particularly welcoming place to find yourself.
