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

That little article before Shepard's name is probably the most obnoxious part of all. God I hate that stargeezer post-credit scene. I actually turn the game off when it shows up.

I hate to disappoint you, but that 'allegory' is everywhere.

Shepard - Shepherd
Died, and raised from the dead - Died, and raised from the dead
Reapers
Legion
Tries to share an important message, is vilified and rejected - Tries to share an important message, is vilified and rejected

It's even more pronounced if you go Paragon, if you make peace between the geth and quarians, complete the Suicide Mission without losing a squadmate, listen to characters, and do literally anything that requires Shepard to go out of his way to render assistance to those who cannot help themselves.

No one is saying you have to take it that way, but it has existed in the game since 2007-2008; it seems to have resonated with a lot of players, given that they were able to make two sequels that became best-sellers.
Given how irrational people get when they're offended, it doesn't add up that they would've had the funding and popular support to do that if they were "cancelled" for using biblical/religious themes.

To be fair, I'm not in marketing, so what do I know?

Shepard=  Alan Shepard. Complete with red commander stripes.
Died and back from the dead was a lame allegory even in ME2 (complete with twelve followers. Sheesh all the subtlety of a brick)
Reapers=Cthulhu mythos. At least a somewhat interesting take on the Great Filter theory.
Legion. See "brick" At least they didn't bring in a herd of space pigs, I guess.
important message, vilified, etc is a very common trope, I admit.

It's less that they used biblical/religious themes so much as it was done in a very heavy handed, and not at all clever way. The writers treated the players like moronic children. And tried to wrap absolutely horrific acts at the end like some sort of redemptive act.

Yeah, I'm glad I'm not the only one who knows who Alan Shepard is, and I always thought the name "Reapers" was a very odd name for something Cthulhu-based.
I thought the Volus looked a bit like pigs, maybe the Yahg?

I'd also like to see a streamlining of the character creator.
All of my Shepards end up looking slightly different between games, and while I'm not going to fanboy about it, it would be nice to be able to stick with one 'face'.

To that end, I've always been curious what the other race's names for the Reapers would be.
We have terms like "Keelah se'lai" and "Phaeston", so we have at least a tiny sampling of alien languages.

It's also worth noting that Klingon from Star Trek is an actual language, in the sense that it was 'invented' by a linguist.

So following those two points, I wonder if there's translations for the Earth English words and names that could be added.

Me too...anything that causes me to think about some issue. And anything that causes me to confront ugliness...something generally people are not good at dealing with and why they become entrenched in their viewpoints and never evolve as individuals.

I only played the PC versions, so not all of these apply to the console versions.

I know the topic title says "small", but I also included some bigger changes in my wish list.

Global:

- Remove framerate cap without need of a config tweak (currently capped at 62). (confirmed)
- More streamlined import process (especially from ME1 to ME2).
- Controller support on PC. (confirmed)
- Default Femshep from ME3 in ME1 and 2. (confirmed)

ME1:

- Improved audio on all systems. (Right now, only the PC version has environmental audio effects, and even then only on very specific hardware and after a config tweak.) (confirmed)
- Fix Chellick's voice filter to be more consistent. He sounds like two different people.
- Not a change, but I hope the PC specific bypass minigame (360 degrees Frogger) doesn't disappear.

ME2:

- Menu shortcuts (e.g. J -> journal).
- Double click and mouse wheel support in menus.
- Remove the crash that occurs when dragging abilities to the quick bar.
- Fix the Conrad plot flag.
- Reintroduce the missing music in the Samara / Morinth fight. (Confirmed)
- Allow the mapping of cover and interact to separate keys.
- Fix audio cutoff when fading into a scene and a character is talking right at the start.
- Increase the mineral gain from scanning.
- Fix the issue where each loading video has to be seen in its entirety before progressing.
- Fix the floating bug (sorry, speedrunners).
- Get rid of the bypass and hacking minigames entirely.

ME3:

- Menu shortcuts (e.g. J -> journal).
- Allow the mapping of cover and interact to separate keys.
- Fix Ashley's marksman bug
- Fix issues with getting stuck on ladders (Leviathan DLC)

This is why ME2 is the one I played the least in overall. Project Lazarus and the Contra 3 boss annoy me to no end. 

I hadn’t given the plague area much thought. I wish we could follow up with that batarian if we decided to help him. 

Most powers seem to have diminishing returns on adding more points past a certain stat level. On even insanity, most enemies die quickly once you’ve reached the game’s midway point, maybe even sooner. 

Well there's the geth calling them Old Machines and refering to Sovereign as "Nazara" (isn't clarified if this is Sovereign in another language).

In general ME seems to have universal translators that decide when they do and don't want to work.
