I would be ok with playing one of the other races in a ME game. Meaning, you are set to play as a turian or something like that. What I am not a big fan of is the ability for the player to choose between 4-5 races at the start. I just think to do it really well would swallow up too many resources and quite severely impact the amount of content in the game. Or they would just boil it down to a few lines of dialogue that change per race in which case it's pretty useless as well and not worth all the extra voice recordings they'd need. I think there are better ways to spend those resources in development Don't get me wrong, I think they did a pretty good job with DA:I with the different player races but you could still see the compromises and I doubt they could spend as many resources on such a feature again soon. So if we can play as a particular other race, nice, but if that means that we are stuck with a human, i am ok with that as well. I agree. As long as its planned out properly I doubt its too resource intensive, but I do think there are more sacrifices then benefits when having a race selection at the start of the game. I walked away from Inquisition pretty much feeling that there was no uniqueness to the different races aside from a slight stat modifier and a couple of dialogue options. The sacrifice of the storytelling was too much for me to feel that it was a good tradeoff. The conversations felt more awkward then the first time of a student who participates in a high school play.

Should be pointed out DAI was planned as human only at the start, with race options added during the extension. It’s not a good metric to use on what a game with race options planned from the beginning would be like.

Still nothing to go on here...though the evidence is beginning to shift a bit to plusible versus unlikely.
We shall see, but for now I am just waiting and watching.

It’s not a good metric to use on what a game with race options planned from the beginning would be like. While I found the effort a bit unsatisfactory (though mainly because the Dalish had no unique voice of their own), I was surprised how much content we actually got in this “last minute” addition. I imagine that had it been the goal from the start, it probably would have been a lot better, with fewer oversights, like a Dalish elf asking who Mythal is. Like, you ain’t no People of mine, you poser. Go back to school ya dink.

Personally I think it was even better than Origins, which yeah had lots of references but only in a few places while with DAI it was more spread out (which was the goal according to Gaider iirc). But yeah, I can only imagine how much more there would have been if that was the plan from the start. People always use that Who's Mythal as an example, but I don't get why since it was optional dialogue.

Like, you ain’t no People of mine, you poser. Go back to school ya dink. I am not sure if they started to talk about the feature any earlier if it would have made that much of a difference, it all depends on when they would have started to add that content to the game's development. If they take two years to get the basics in play they might not have even started to work on the individual content until the last year of development even if it was the plan all along. So it could be that it had just as much development time as if it was a feature that they were planning on having from the very start of development. As far as a voice for the one particular feature I doubt that would have happened for just like what happened with Origins where there wasn't any unique dialogue or reactions based on what race you played. I have mentioned this before, but how Elves and Mages are treated seem really inconsistent with the rest of the world. Even a "we don't serve knife ears here" every now and then would have been enough.

Ok, if it wasn't officially confirmed by EA or BioWare how do they come up with a year of the release?

I can just imagine how that went. Korean Rating Board: Hey, so what is this ... Legendary Effect Mass Edition you guys sent us? EA: Oh, uh, that's just the Mass Effect games. KRB: What? You're re-releasing them? EA: No, no. We're remastering them. KRB: You mean you're changing them? EA: Not changing them. Just upgrading them. KBR: To what? EA: New graphic standards. KBR: So you're remaking them. EA: No, it's a remaster. KBR: A re-release. EA: A remaster. KBR: Alright, tell you what. Let me "remaster" my rating for all three games and you release it whenever. Good enough for you? EA: Perfect! Mass Effect: Legendary Edition re-rated!

Yeah it's mainl ythe silen ttreatmen tthat EA and Bioware have given towards these so called leaks that makes me think it's not happening. Otherwise I believe they'd hav ecome out and said something by now.

For PC, I am struggling to see the point of this if it is just a graphics upgrade and nothing else. I already have that via mods and the nvidia control panel.
