Though wasnt this remaster outsourced.. there might be stuff there which wont be fixed without a complete rewrite so they might have just gone past them  I said it a long time ago... what a lot of fans were asking for and hoping for was a remake, not a remaster. Even though part of me was also hoping for "greater" changes, particularly to the combat in ME1, they remained true to the original. It still reflects the times in which it was made... warts and all. I like that. Yeah they did as I think the ywanted the whole ending rewritten I wasn' texpec6ting tha tand I'm glad the ydidn't personally as for me that wasn't the biggest crime of ME3 for me as I kind of expected a Shepard dies to save the galax ykind o fending to ME3 even befoer ME3 came out. For me i twas moer the Galacti creadiness being chained to multiplayer that was the biggest crime. Thankfully something that's been put right in this remaster.

I hope they just continue on with an Andromeda-based story... but that's also an unpopular opinion here. Time will tell... In reality, I'll just be grateful if I'm still around to sit back and observe it.

Yeah I want them to just focus on Ahndromeda too but then I happen to like MEA but like you said that's a rare thing around here. Sure mistakes were made with MEA but I do see plenty of potential there it's why I still enjoy and play it despite the criticism it's had.

One good thing is that the Coalesced files didn't change a lot. So the old edits still work (with the new LECoal converter). I could give Shepard all the casual outfits and more armor color options again in ME2.  |

The squadmate cover problems are new to me and I've been playing since 2010. But sure, ME2 has had its fair share of bugs in the original version, I've experienced lock-ups in Illium, being unable to finish Kasumi's and Mordin's loyalty missions by pressing F etc. Must say I've never had the problem with the YMIR not showing up at Freedom's Progress.
If you have your game via the Origin launcher did you repair/update? I think I tried the repair, but it was a fresh install. I just gave up and skipped to ME3 instead. Maybe an update rather than repair but doesn't matter now if you have the MELE all is good!

I didn't like it in the state it was in. But it showed a lot of promise, so I'm not totally opposed to the idea of a sequel. Some more interesting companions wouldn't hurt either. Come to think of it, a revised player character also would help.

And considering that Will Continue is, at best, a 2025 release, 8 years after ME:A, one has to wonder if it's worthwhile at all. The Trilogy is much more recent in everyone's minds, thanks to the LE and more popular. |

I was opposed to Anthem, since I resent the whole games as a service idea. That said, why not start from scratch with Andromeda? A new player, a new team, but carry the lose ends of the first game into the next to be resolved. They did it with Dragon Age after all.

Found out that they didn't change the ugly hands in ME3 - ugh.

Sorry, last one LOL

Cutscenes are still unskippable and unpausable, at least in ME1. I'm skipping mine just fine. I should rephrase then: At least in ME1, on PC, the majority of cutscenes are unskippable and unpausable by regular means, without any config-file editing/mods, for example: The entire prologue section (Start new game), Normandy docking/undocking sequences, Mako drop sequences, Mass Effect Relay jump sequence, etc. What IS skippable are (most) dialogue (per line), and Citadel-elevator rides.

^A big missed opportunity there. Why did they allow us to skip elevator rides but not all the cut scenes? It's my greatest annoyance with the LE atm. I had to restart ME3 and dreaded doing it because I had to sit through all those scenes again.

The ridiculous ass left-handed salute we get in ME2 when first going to activate Legion is still present. I didn't really expect it to be removed, but a man can dream, right?

The structure of ME2's main story where you can't do the missions when the fancy takes you, nor can you postpone them when they do become available. Feel like tackling Horizon or Collector Ship? Hold your horses Sonny, its not yet time. No option to just click 'wait for the next op'.
So I'm still forced to go recruit characters my Sheperd would be very wary of (Jack, Okeer particularly) but its worse at the opposite end of the scale where I have to use my foreknowledge of said structure to delay getting Legion so late that he's hardly in the game at all (because Derelict Reaper completion puts you on a Draconian countdown to either finishing the game or losing half your crew).

Not to mention I'd bet dollars to dougnuts that they didn't add another mission where Shepard and crew leaves while the Collectors hit them with the IFF.

I refuse to accept losing the crew so I *have* to leave Derelict Reaper until right near the end when I've done basically everything. Which sucks because it means I barely get to use Legion or see his reactions on missions. Aggravating beyond the telling of it...

Liara is still bugged. If you unlock all her powers she loses access to overload. Which is honestly ridiculous, not just because there's clearly is an open option on the power wheel where overload could be, but even more so because this was already a bug in the original game. Like, geez, come on Bioware. Not just Liara, but any Shepard with a bonus talent. For anyone who hasn't encountered it before, the bug is described here:
I just lost the Singularity bonus talent on my sentinel's power wheel. I really hoped they had fixed this one.

The game puts up this meta-flag when Miranda and Jacob debate over whether you get the IFF or square away your other affairs. I was like “Yeah not falling for that one.”

Just have to have enough loyal squadmates to survive the suicide mission, then whatever loyalty missions are not completed take it on those. Leave all side missions and dlc's to bring Legion. You could also take Legion to recruit Tali before the suicide mission.

You could also take Legion to recruit Tali before the suicide mission. Exactly. With some foreknowledge of how the Suicide Mission works and some planning, you can have Legion for several mission pre- and post- Suicide Mission. Same with the Collector Ship bonus weapon, you can make a beeline for it and use it for over half the game. Of course, Legion (much like Tali) is best suited to anti-Synthetic missions since his Drone has too large a cooldown to be useful and Geth Shield Boost locks him out of using AI Hacking and Combat Drone if you did want to use it.

That's not a viable solution for me - the main mission is the only reason I'm out there doing any of this. The Suicide Mission is the end goal - once that's out of the way I have no reason to keep working with Cerberus, nor do my team have any pressing reason not to get on with their own lives. I'm in the camp that never plays post game - it just breaks the immersion for me to say 'We saved the galaxy... and then the day after that we beat some nickel and dime mercs for a few creds'
Its the same in all RPGs for me - I'm more than happy to do all the content (I'm a completionist so I always do everything) but I have to do it all before the final story mission because that's the driving force to do any of this. It makes no sense for me to keep going, especially as I always tell TIM to sod off at the end. Rushing you to the SM like that when you're never on that kind of timer before or after in the series was just poor design (I mean you can be notified of that crashing ship side mission, put it off for weeks and you'll still arrive just in time).
