Mass Effect Legendary Edition (General Discussion)

I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean that they'd canonize Shepard in a way that he's a dick towards her?
If Shepard would be the protagonist, in any case, I don't think they'd go in a full canon route...although I do fear they *might* pick an ending.

Yes.

Why wouldn’t they? Would hardly be the first time. If they already make things like the ending canon, for example Shepard a genocidal psychopath aka chose Destroy, there’s no limit to what else they could choose to do.

I think and I hope that they will pick a canon state, that allows for the most fun way forward. LIs alive, Shepard alive, all squadmates possibly alive, confirmed alive etc. I mean, if you're going to canonize Liara alive, you might as well canonize it for everyone. I'd rather play in that world, than let Bioware pick and choose who is alive and who is dead. Because you know it's just going to be Liara, Tali and Garus again and nobody else. And no hate toward them, but there were other characters in these games, as well.

Dont really see how, apart from it being a one-of-a-kind wheel that’s at the top of the screen or something. Different camera angle completely maybe, but it sounds like it just panned the current camera up a couple inches so same angle. Looking at the current image, yeah it’d be worse if anything.

If they do that, then I agree with those here that said they may as well have made a new ending and removed the old ones for the Legendary Edition. If they’re going to screw over Control and Synthesis fans by making the worst ending canon, may as well do it now. And of course the other big decisions too, like the fate of various races. So yeah at that point how they treat individuals may as well be taken away too, since how you played the trilogy doesn’t matter apparently.

You know, like Hawke explicitly stating such things about all blood mages being that and stuff. Not just blood magic, but anyone who ever uses it.

Thank you. I mean like I said on one hand it was a blessing since it didn’t ruin her character like it did so many others and didn’t force sex in the only romance in the trilogy that doesn’t. But on the other hand no last goodbye, no quality time, having Shepard cheat/raped by Javik if you have the wild party even after locked in with her, etc.

Yep, the release of the LE is what makes me uncertain or a canonized/fixed ending, if it's not present in the LE. But who knows.
I picked Para-Control in my canon, but it wouldn't be the end of the world, to me, if they went another direction. Howewer, I recognize that I'm likely in the minority with this opinion, and a canon/fixed ending could cause a lot of criticism, expecially if it's not addressed in the LE.

So, you mean in DAI, correct? I recall Hawke having 'canonized' opinions, but it's been a while since I played DAI.

Agreed, and the Javik is expecially insulting/offensive. While they won't add Kelly in Citadel, based on their words, I think avoiding getting that scene with Javik if in a romance with Kelly should be an easy fix.

Well again, I doubt that they’d edit the Destroy ending if they did make it canon. So it ruins a lot more than that choice. It ruins Shepard by turning them into a monster, it ruins one of the companions I liked the most that could also be possible to appear by killing her off, it ruins my favorite race by exterminating them, etc.

Yes I mean in DAI.

Finally someone who agreed with me on that scene. And yeah I doubt they’ll add anything for her, even with her writer back at BioWare. Hopefully they could at least fix that and make it not trigger, but I doubt it. Might ask the devs after the weekend.

Honestly, this is one of the things that upset me the most, and M/M romances are my least played. You guys never get any option until the third damn game, to me if there's already animations and dialogue that can be used I don't see a reason why this wouldn't be implemented. Heck, it wouldn't be breaking lore it would make it more consistent.

So you have my full support on this one I assure you. I'm glad at least you got the Jaal romance in MEA eventually!

While sound files and possibly animations do exists for some same sex romances in ME1 and elsewhere that haven't been implemented, they do not exist for all of them in the all trilogy games. Thus, you can't just enable them (no matter with how much/little resources) in ME1 and leave those player hanging in ME2 and ME3 for example.

Recording new lines and animations are quite expensive afaik with the former also possibly a schedule and cost issue regarding the voice talent.

In an ideal world, they would have had the resources to add same sex romances, other cut content, added Multiplayer, but that's more in the direction of a Remake or at least a Remaster Deluxe.

It certainly seems, the MELE was done with limited resources and a rather small Bioware crew who oversaw most work that was AI made and/or outsourced.
I'm sure if they had/been given the resources, most if not all, would have wanted to do more. 

While I personally also hoped for more (Deluxe version or a Remake) I am still very happy I can get at least this MELE version for my console.








 

But most of all, is Bio censoring Mshep's creep face?

Doon, Doon, DOOOOOOOOOON!

😆

Or go read smut fics, there's plenty of those across the web.
