Finally finished the first game with an almost complete run. The legendary edition is IMO fra superior to the original version. The combat is not as good as in 2 and 3 and I still dislike the mako, but the upgrades that they have made to the game does make the combat much more fun and 3 second loading times in the elevators is a massive upgrade. The inventory system is still bad though as I started to not care about weapons after a while and just sold everything after getting good gear on all my squad mates. There was a lot more copy-paste levels than I remember, but it has been well over 10 years since the last time I completed the first game.
The first games visuals look quite good in HDR, but the gap to mass effect 2 is still huge. Mass effect 2 looks so vibrant in HDR and blows away the original graphically. The character models seems to have received a lot more attention than the environments, but everything looks much better than it did in the original version of ME2 (did a playthrough early 2020). ME2 is by far the weakest of the mass effect games when it comes to character builds though. ME3 has the best balance there.
