What small non-visual improvements would you like to see in Mass Effect Legendary Edition?

Okay, I saw it now.
Her design isn't as good as the best one in the OT, but it's better then the one I didn't like (I don't recall if it was ME2 or ME3). Honestly, I don't think it's that bad. Anderson is far worse, in comparison.

I think the picture of Ashley in armour looks better in the LE...but she looks quite worse in the other picture you shown.
Not sure what the hell happened in ME3 Shep, but I think it's more of a lighting issue, not a model issue.

I think it's both. "Tweaked" models for games that looked different and all had some kind of filter, ME2 an orange one, ME3 a blue one and it doesn't mesh well with the "ultra bright" lighting they went with in ME1. Sheploo looks far fucking worse. All that fucking eye-liner is all that I can see. I'll take Miranda's ass more seriously than a single shot of Sheploo's face. In fact, I want someone to hack Sheploo's face to Miranda's ass. Then I might be able to finally play the fucking game. But we're not getting mods, because Bioware made the games unmodable and they're not releasing any fucking modding tools at all, in spite of what they had been saying, months ago, about working closely with the modding scene. Maybe Skyrim's modding scene, but definitely not ME's.

I can say it's true for Wrex and Garrus. Which look a lot like they took the MEUITM textures and did a slight compression to look just a tiny bit off, so it doesn't look like someone copied their homework. Everyone else, Ashley in ME1 in armor, or in uniform, Sheploo in ME1, Kelly in ME2, Anderson in ME1, all look worse to me. Anderson in particular looks like the alien from the Halo Infinite meme. The models weren't built with this lighting in mind at the time, which results in changes in the lighting bringing out all the weak points of their models. Unironically, MEUITM/ALOT with project Merlin looks better. Planets look worse, because, again, changes to the lighting ruin the atmosphere and it's just not the same feeling anymore. I suppose that's the point, to create a new feeling for new fans, but it doesn't vibe with me. It's exactly like the Sleeping Dogs remaster, which was worse to the original in every way. Even without mods. I'm sticking to the games I already own, the ME1 DLC is free, either way and I have the ultimate version of ME2, with all the DLC. I'm unlikely to ever touch ME3 and even then, it's on gamepass. I don't need it. Unless Will Continue picks up directly where ME3 left off (haha, good one) I will never touch ME3 again. And even then, oof, it's a bad game that I would rather not go through again.



Depending on the lighting, it looks even worse than vanilla. Let's not even go to modded, or modded + ReShade with RT.

One of the three chief modders for the ME mod tool suite put it up on his blog. Nobody from Bioware seems to have contacted anyone in the circle of modders. He even tweeted Bioware about it, when Bioware tweeted about "working with the mod community". He simply stated that without modding tools from Bioware, they would have to make the entire modding tool suite from scratch for the new versions of Unreal the games are running on and that they simply weren't going to do it, as it took them years to develop the few tools they have made in the first place. It's simply not going to happen. If mod tools were going to happen, you would have heard something new about it from anyone. At this point, it's simply not coming.

To be clear - I think you're right, but I want the official word.

It's not different in game. Maybe you didn't see Sheploo yet, or maybe it was due to stream compression, but it's there.

Being able to name my save files, so I don't just have 45 save games in a row that say "Normandy."

Having the reticle disappear from squadmates when they're talking in ME1 and ME3 -- it is not great for immersion to see a big circle on their torso while they're delivering some moving line of dialogue. FIXED (at least in the ME1 elevators -- haven't seen ME3)

Keeping Female Shepard's part from sparkling at the end of the suicide mission. Having her eyelashes fit her eyes instead of clipping. Having rouge that isn't weird oversaturated rectangles on Shepard's cheeks.

Better hairstyles, preferably with physics. FIXED (I don't think there is physics, though)

Being able to create black and brown Shepards that don't look like white people in blackface (MEA was very good at this). Having a better way to import face codes. FIXED?

Having a hi res face model for Femshep that is consistent across all games. FIXED

Fixing the lighting in Cortez's romance scene so he doesn't disappear.

Being able to holster your gun in every game.

Getting rid of the gawdawful "sexy run" in ME3. Having FemShep's running and walking animations resemble those of ME1.
Fixing the combat run in ME3, also Anderson's run during leaving Earth. NOT FIXED

Getting rid of robot cameltoe.

Fixing Tali's picture in ME3.

Getting rid of Sheploo "rape face" in ME2.

Giving the men in ME2 proportional hands. (Jacob's hands are tiny.)

Having FemShep properly interact with railings,obstacles, etc instead of floating/clipping.

Lowering the volume on "JOKER'S WAITING FOR YOU ON THE BRIDGE" at the end of Kaidan's romance scene in ME1.

Reinstating gay Kaidan in ME1.
