Why are some of the previous achievements of ME Trilogy not longer available in LE?
I get it some of them are redundant but others aren´t. It seems that Bioware have mostly cut the DLC achievements but why? Is there an achievement limit on console?
Edit: By the way what´s the point in collecting in Cerberus data in the Overlord DLC now?

Most of the cut achievements were minor. I definitely don't miss them. I particularly noticed they'd trimmed the fat when I had to make a specific effort to get ME3's "Hijacker". I've completed this trilogy over 100 times. I have no desire to chase cleverly devised trophies in ME.
ME3's Gunsmith seems pointless, as there's no skill involved. It seems to be there to force a NG+ import. It could've been cut.
We get the associated perks in ME1 automatically (+XP) or far more easily (reduced requirements for "Use X ability Z number of times").

I don't miss some of those achievements. Well i miss a few.
Like the already mentioned Data Hound (Collect 6 Cerberus data packets scattered across Aite), Last Stand (survive all 5 Project Rho waves), Perfect Host (Throw a party), Technical Issues (complete all Armax challenges), Simulated Hero (Score 9999 points in the combat simulator on Normal, Hardcore, or Insanity.)
The one achievement i miss the most is Most Dangerous Game (Defeat Vasir) Sorry but defeating Vasir is in my opinion achievement worthy.
By the way the same goes for beating Vega´s record which never has been an achievement.

I don't much like The Citadel DLC, aside from the Lancer and Armax Arsenal; but you're right. There definitely should've been an achievement for beating Vega's record. That was very time-consuming. (I did enjoy Citadel in its original context. I just don't enjoy it in 99% of playthroughs.) Surviving all the waves in Project Rho was a fun one. Now, only pride keeps me from setting down the controller to speed along the story.

I just don't enjoy it in 99% of playthroughs. I still like the Citadel DLC for what it is a Fanservice DLC with a lighter touch.
Its a lot more fun to play it then playing the Omega DLC which is at the end a bit waste of time when Aria still sits in the Purgatory. I can´t help myself but i have to beat Vega in every playthrough.

I don't like the slipshod integration, with Aria "returning" to the Citadel after; but I really enjoy Omega. It has some of the very best designed combat encounters in the trilogy. We get two new squaddies to assist. Nyreen's skill loadout could've been incredible on a permanent squadmate. We get Rampart Mechs and Adjutants; two great opponents that I would've loved to see throughout the game. The visuals are crisp and colorful. The set pieces are great. How cool is that eezo mine? I really enjoy Omega a lot. I'm usually very high-level when I start it, low to mid-50s, and often reach 60 before leaving. High-level Shep with new squaddies, new foes and new scenery? Count me in. Edit: It also addresses the question, "What about the Collector Base?" Save it or destroy it, Cerberus will definitely try to salvage tech and intel. Controlling Omega is an obvious step for them, gaining easy access on "our side" to the Omega-4 Relay and controlling the heart of the Terminus Systems. In Karpyshyn's novels, we learn a bit more about Omega. It was a Reaper construction and "plant", just like the Citadel. It was also entertaining to get the Reapers' thoughts on the mishmash alterations organics have made. Unsurprisingly, they are unimpressed.

For me it is disappointing experience. I really wanted that this DLC had similar touch like Shadow Broker. I like Nyreen but she isn´t that long in the Omega DLC party. Also i kinda wish that we have for time Nyreen isn´t in the party well Bray as companion. But i don´t like that there wasn´t a Aria or Nyreen / Talon choice for Omega.
The most disappointing is Aria return to Citadel. She even hates the Purgatory. Also it would be nice if some parts of Afterlife would function as a Hub like Liara Shadow Broker base. Rampart Mech are cool and logical evolution of Loki Mech.
Adjutants well they aren´t that much in the DLC and too be fair they aren´t that deadly for their reputation. They should be a Banshee light or so. By the way i found it a bit disappointing that the Dragons from ME3 MP aren´t featured here.

Those are all fair criticisms. Something on the scale of LotSB would definitely have been great. I like Omega well enough for what it is. I didn't play ME3MP. Were the dragoons similar to or the same as the ones found at Armax Arsenal Arena? I really enjoyed those tougher opponents. I would've loved if any of the core games had tougher, or at least more varied, opponents. I think the fear of Adjutants was more lore-based than mechanical. The first Adjutants turned all their prey into more Adjutants. That would be terrifying. Cerberus figured out how to turn-off that conversion.

Yea I don't miss any of those. With the addition of the multi game shared trophies I think that was all the extra that was needed.

Really?!? You don´t even think that finishing the Vasir bossfight is enough for getting an achievement?

Ok to be fair maybe some aren´t great like Husk Saren, the Human Reaper or Kai Leng but Vasir and the Shadow Broker are terrific boss fights. Also Vasir is a Spectre so of course she can´t be killed that easy & quick.

All that biotic charging then flying up to recharge her shields gets a bit repetitive.
The best fight is Marauder Shields. I should upload my video of decapitating him in three-four shots on insanity.

Jumps away forcing you to take on drones before jumping back into the fight. Shooting games do not make good bosses because you are limited what you can do so they always turn out to be just bullet sponges with no real other difficulty.
