God, Mass Effect 2 is such a leap in quality from ME1. Going right into it from the first one just makes it incredible how much better everything is.

Yeah I just started ME2 last night. This is the first time I've played both games back to back in over a decade (lol) and it really is absurd how much better ME2 is than its predecessor, even with the updates the LE gave it.

I need some good femshep face codes for ME1, everything I try makes her look like her head's made of silly putty.

Let's see what you got!

The only thing that changed was her hair. That 'new' hair is awful, but her face structure is the same. LE has altered the lighting though, she used to have a spotlight directly on her whenever you spoke to her and now it uses ambient lighting and the shadows really change how she looks.

Jeez, so just the haircut and lighting? She looks almost unrecognisable. Something deffo was hosed with ME3 though, my Shep went from looking fine and dandy and 99% the same in their ME and ME2 versions to something kinda off in ME3, mainly with her mouth expressions/animations at times. The face code was the same but as soon as the game started, she just looked uncanny valley compared to the previous games.

I'm really on the fence about picking up the PC version. I prefer to play with a mouse since I can't aim for poo poo with gamepads but the PC port getting so little attention is discouraging. Is the negative mouse acceleration fixable or going to get fixed? I can handle the FOV and etc if so.

I guess I could pick it up and refund it if necessary.

I just noticed the faint trashcan/mark-as-junk icon next to items when you're in your equipment screen. Please tell me that wasn't always in ME1.

Let’s just agree it wasn’t and never touch the original again

Lol okay so they did it in the laziest possible way but I suppose it's probably better than irritating all the people who wanted to use those armors. Did they change the special armors to allow you to toggle off the helmet or can you still go to omega and slam drinks into your helmet glass all day long?

Huh. That's a good change. The number of missions in ME1 you need to play with each of the companions for the achievement has been dropped from 45 to 5, making it a whole lot more practical. It's also worth doing with Wrex ASAP unless you're playing a soldier because regenerating health is huge.

Do you get abilities for bringing squad mates in missions?

Generally pretty trivial ones. +10% damage protection if you've brought Ashley enough, 1hp/s regeneration for Wrex, and I think the other four are +10% power to two skills each.

The patch is probably a foundational patch for the ME3 multiplayer, which now seems like more of an inevitability than a question.

It's was so bad for me in ME1 that I had to reload a half-dozen times. Like I'd cast Warp as an opening move and not be able to do anything else for the rest of the fight.

The mod tools haven't been made yet but people have already hacked together mods that will disable the mouse acceleration and FOV. Thing is the way they do it is rather "sloppy" by modding standards and means you can only use one fix at a time (thankfully people are starting to combine the QoL fixes into one mod).

In 2-3 months we'll likely see mod tools out and so people will be able to make much more extensive mods.

I also suspect there will be a patch from EA/BioWare at some point given they generally will give post-release support to fix issues (and since this is a trial balloon for ME4 they want it to go well).

huh, speak of the devil! I suspect some of the other bugs like the Spectre gear not being sold in C-Sec or other things like that might take a bit longer but this is already one patch more than the NieR replicant remake got so I'm happy.

Download is probably big because of the fixes they made to cinematics to fix the glitches/artifacting.

I forgot how wordy 1 was. You can see the old school RPG design showing when you make it to the Citadel for the first time an hour in and have to wade through a bunch conversations about politics and corruption and such.

You can also see it because it has Towers of Hanoi, firmly cementing it as the last of Bioware's early period rather than the first of their late period.

I always forget Mass Effect came before Dragon Age because it feels much less 'old' in its design, with the one exception being that DAO has a hidden tombstone for Towers of Hanoi that reads 'unmourned, unloved' :laffo:

I'm not the type of person that gets caught up in fancy graphics and things like that, but I said "holy poo poo" out loud when I booted up ME1 for the first time.

There's some stuff that's inexcusable, like not having a FOV slider (moddable), reverse mouse acceleration (semi-moddable), and broken surround sound (still hosed). But it's a really, really pretty ME1 that I wasn't expecting.
