Can we at least bang the red head this time? Only reason I played through the last time. I think it ended with her giving me a hug.

Kelly Chambers is my 2nd favorite space babe after Liara. I still enjoy watching her little dance routine in my cabin on the Normandy 2.Can we at least bang the red head this time? Only reason I played through the last time. I think it ended with her giving me a hug.

I know. Apparently if you do it right you get a lap dance. Wasn't worth it replaying. hehYou can woo Kelly. You did it wrong bro.

Doesn't look like the store page is up yet.I tried to pre-order on Steam, but there's no way to do it. I'd prefer not to have any go through Origin if at all possible
ME 1 and 2's female Shepard model was near perfect. She looked like a battle-hardened Lena Headey, way better than the pretty-boy male Shep, IMO. That updated model looks like hot trash.Still salty about no ME3 multiplayer. Also looks like they replaced Femshep's default face in the first game with the horrible model in the third game. Should have went the other way and brought ME1-ME2 default Femshep into ME3.

I wonder if the pistol is still going to be the best weapon in the game since they mentioned rebalancing. The DPS you got out of it was insane. Made an Insanity playthrough a cakewalk.Thank god they kept the ME1 RPG weapons system, by all accounts. I actually wish it carried forward, the weapons customization was much deeper in ME1 than in the sequels. Nothing like the Specter weapons with multiple upgrade slots by level 60.
Store page is up:
RPG Site details some of the changes made to the first game. They mention that they didn't make any big changes to the game other than to update some of its systems for better playability. The firearm aiming and handling are a big one.

User name checks out.
-Obligatory meme post fulfilled.
Hopefully they don’t mess this up. I also wonder what mod support it will have if any.

Sure. This is their opportunity to rectify that. EA would be wise to learn that the community is a big reason for the success of ME.Keep in mind Mass Effect 1-3 never had official mod support. In fact, the game was specially made in a way to prevent modding. Initially, everything was done through Texmod. Overtime the community developed tools that allowed for permanent texture mods and scripting changes to the games allowing for more complex and even game changing mods to be made.
Why does it even matter? You will still need to run origin to play the game. If you buy it with origin steam won't get the 30% either. Then again I wouldn't mind giving less money to EA.I tried to pre-order on Steam, but there's no way to do it. I'd prefer not to have any go through Origin if at all possible
There will always be complainers. But they can still continue to play the original version(s) on Steam/Origin, so I kinda don't feel like it's even worth acknowledging.I can't wait to start reading from all the "hardcore fans" about how they changed 6 pixels on Liara's face and they upped the lighting levels on the Citadel 3.336% and now the game is totally ruined and only a shadow of the original game's greatness.
Guaran-fucking-teed to hear that crap.
Well there are rumors going around that Tencent has been saving billions to try and buy EA or Take-Two. If that happens you’ll see the demise of EA.I wonder if I'll ever see the demise of EA in my lifetime?
I've already given up on my college alma mater winning a national championship in anything
Andromeda is not in need of a remaster or remake. The game is just fine on a technical level. It's not even 4 years old, yet. It looks and plays fantastic, it just feels really shallow which is something that can't be improved with a remaster or remake.As I said in the news thread, I'm really hoping that they make as many improvements as possible but - if they're not going for full on new content remake status - I hope to see easy mod compatibility. Dan_D suggested they were doing so in order to keep this accurate, so if that's true that's a major benefit. All the games have noteworthy graphical and texture mods, but especially ME3 have some amazing "Fallout / ElderScrolls / Witcher" level custom content mods (Expanded Galaxy Mod being the pinnacle, ME Happy Ending Mod, ME3Recalibrated, LIME, ITEM, etc.) that I'd like to see easily made compatible with the Legendary versions.
However, I would like to see these remasters do some degree of upgrading/editing specifically related to content that was already in the game files, but was unfinished/removed. For instance, there's a mod to get a much longer and more in depth "director's cut" of Shepard's last conversation with Anderson on ME3 - all the content is right there in the game files, but it has been edited out. That sort of thing, as well as other unfinished content, stuff that needs some polish, updates etc... should likely be a default part of the ME Legendary experience and then users can further extend with mods if they wish. Having some new content would be nice indeed.
Its worth noting that they're not including Andromeda in the collection, which is debated to be one of the games most in need of "remastering/remake" at least from technical perspectives. I can understand them sticking to the original trilogy, but if they're going to be developing a new Mass Effect game and/or finally making sequels to Andromeda it would be nice if there was a remaster in the works for that side as well.
Finally, I'm a bit nonplussed if after all this that, by the Steam page info, still requires Origin client background use? That's asinine! Newer EA titles like Apex Legends do NOT require Origin - it is simply a matter of users on Steam connecting their EA/Origin accounts through login! Especially if ME Legendary Edition will NOT include the ME3 cooperative multiplayer (which is kind of a pity, I did remember quite enjoying it). there's no reason to have Origin required in any way if launched by Steam!

I am fine with a good fidelity, UI upgrades and general never previously touched bug fixes.
Games do not always need complete overhauls.
I've personally never experienced any of the well-publicized bugs that turned into memes across the internet in my 60'ish hours with the game, and I played it on launch day. It's still an EA game, meaning they won't be using a different engine. I don't know if devs really were not able to design the game they wanted due to Frostbite, but the engine's technical difficulties in the development process are well known. Andromeda's issue boils down to constant shifts in project management, ultimately, which is the same problem that plagued Anthem. It is fundamentally broken from a design perspective.Wasn't it notorious for having Frostbite (I think) engine problems, which restricted what the devs planned to do with it, ended up devoting tons of time to QA, and still shipped with a lot of the "meme-able" bugs? Its problems aren't solely technical, but I was to understand that the technical problems and push to release ASAP held back many of the designs as intended.
