Mass Effect Legendary Edition (General Discussion)

MELE xbox june 28 hotfix patch notes link

Most likely they would be broken to the point that they'd never be same again. And those who have been born into batarian slavery even more so.

You could in fact consider it a fast mercy killing.

This was something else that bugged me. Because it’s geth, I guess it’s OK lol.

Realistically, they’d be mounting an assault on the Perseus Veil. The Quarians would undoubtedly cream their suits. 

Yeah I never reall ygot any bugs other than the fish bhug I showed really. I may have had another bug during one of m yArmax arena matches wher one of the enemies got stuck sa I remembe rin one matc hnoticing ther ewasn' tany enemies anywher eattacking me ye tthe round wasn' tending so I ran around to try and find hteenemy but couldn't s oended up startin tha tmatch again. Bu tin general my playthrough was bug free both those 2 bugs I've mentioned both occured in ME3 not in 1 or 2 as both ME1 and ME2 ran pretty bug free. I'd imagine they'll be keeping an eye on things and releasing moer patches to fix an yunderlying issues but we'll see

Jason was always undead if I recall correctly. Fair on Halloween, but eventually they did make him connected to a demonic cult (at least in one of the myriad of timelines.
As for Saw, the victims never really have access to guns so doesn’t really matter.

Do you still need an answer to this dragontartare ?

In the MELE Save Editor you can download from NMM under "Plot" then in the "Romance" Tab there is a field that has "The Illusive Man Progress". Mine is currently "2" but that doesn't seem right as I have spoken to him all the times up until you meet him at the end but the values do not often reflect what has happened in game from my experience when you open the save. I am guessing you could change that to a higher value like 5 to make sure you got all the options at the end.

Finally finished the Mass Effect Legendary edition. Loved it!

I finished ME2LE, yeah, I went through the Terminator Baby in the end too *sigh*. That fight was just as atrocious as I remembered.
I'm afraid it fortified the position of it being the worst in the series, it also sometimes feels like its not even in the same universe, or is some kind of a fever dream, not a good one though for me.

Most of the henchmen are not interesting for me - never much were, but this time Jack, Kasumi, Zaeed, Thane and as usual Miranda and Jacob felt really pushed on and the type I'd airlock immediately if I may use such hard language Then again at least Thane has warp and shedder ammo...
Mordin is ok, Grunt is a tool for one game. None of them feel near as fleshed as MEA companions do in the end at this point.

At the moment I'm rating ME1LE in almost every way over 2LE. Still good things in 2 are the N7 side missions, some of the new music and ambient pieces, ME1 music in the SR-2 Shepard cabin and seeing ME1 team mates again. The magic introduced in 1 is mostly gone for me as it was many times before when I played it. I rush through the game as its mostly just shooting and shooting through corridors with a mediocre combat.

The combat functions unfortunately foreshadows whats to come in ME3LE next; slow actions, sticking to geometry, sudden fast actions which look quite ridiculous, heavily overdone effects both in visual and sound department. I am not awaiting to see Shock wave shake the screen till I feel I need to pause to watch somewhere else or I might puke, for it to please stop(!), or Shep being even larger(?) on the screen taking more estate, or screen being very bloody and shaking with motion blur when being heavily hit etc. Some of the iffyness comes from playing on PS% and using a controller Some of the mechanics were rectified in 3rd part although and done better, but none of them hold any candle to MEA combat and I expect that to continue in ME3LE if they didnt fix the horrible onekey-cover-run mishap. I might also say that some parts of MEA combat dont hold candle to Anthem combat, and vice versa, but they are the pinnacles of BioWare combat at the moment. Real joys to play, even though I still much dont like the slower kits like Krogan ones or Colossus . I grew very tired of the ME2LE combat too in the end, just Shockwaving through the enemies after stripping their shields or armor corridor after corridor. Sound effects of the guns took a clear hit and most now sound like toys, but the biotics soundfx even when hitting someone far away, sound like amplified next to your ear like they unfortunately do in original ME2 and 3 too. Waiting for BioWare to properly balance these on the MENext as some of the sounds like no clips left to reload in MEA is very low in volume when other sounds are balanced quite properly..

Also I wasnt prepared as with ME1LE on a console, for the amount of pause spamming one has to perform. Thankfully most of that went away at the time of the last missions, except for some warp warp warp armor destruction

All in all I might have worn out the ME2 and ME3 playing them too much while playing OT back in the day. I still like them (lets see ME3LE though ) but yeah, I like MEA and ME1 more. They still have the magic for me. Maybe I'll come back to LE on PC when there are enough mods, but next: ME3LE on PS5 - when I come around to start it

Its still a good game, not just sure if its a good ME game for me...

(Oh man what an essay this became, its just some thoughts, dont take it so seriously.)

seems Mele has done rly quite well in several metrics, better than some prominent bioware figures like MD thought it would (he worried it wouldnt do that well) 

I dont generally have problem with it, I originally played on GT9500 Passive GPU and I had to turn MBlur off as the GPU just made it a slideshow.. but some of the stagger effects really overused it.

Yea and a few cut scenes were Shepard jumped caused some serious after effects. So I turned it off across the entire LE and didn't really notice a difference.
