Originally the idea was that they were upset that the use of biotics was working with dark energy to hasten the heat death of the universe and since only organic beings could use biotics the Reapers, who live forever, wanted to stop them using them.

Because otherwise, what’s the point in even calling it a Mass Effect game?Īs much as I love the original trilogy one of the main problems is that nothing the Reapers want or do makes any sense.

That doesn’t mean you have to bring back Shepard or any of the other characters (although Liara already looks like she’s in it) just that this has to be set recognisably in the same galaxy. Set it after the events of Mass Effect 3 and try and make sense of the ending. Not wimp out with a prequel or an Andromeda style ‘another galaxy’ nonsense. One wrong move in combat could mean repeating a huge chunk of the game, but Mass Effect: Legendary Edition makes it so the game auto saves more frequently, which should go a long way in saving players' some headaches.The first thing Mass Effect 4 needs to do is connect to the original trilogy. One of the more frustrating aspects of the original Mass Effect game was its unreliable auto save. Players should be able to experience better boss battles and they should also notice a better first aid cooldown in Legendary Edition when compared to the first game, though it's unclear exactly what that means at the time of this writing.

Other combat improvements in Mass Effect: Legendary Edition have not been discussed in great detail, but have been vaguely mentioned by BioWare. However, enemy AI is also improved in Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, so fans should keep that in mind as well. That shouldn't be nearly as much of a problem in Mass Effect: Legendary Edition. As some may recall, the AI in the original Mass Effect sometimes didn't respond all that well to commands and would occasionally make stupid decisions that got themselves killed. Players will also notice that aiming down the sights in the original Mass Effect is a lot more reliable in Mass Effect: Legendary Edition.ĪI companions have also been improved for the first Mass Effect game in Mass Effect: Legendary Edition. This will include improved aiming in the original Mass Effect game, as well as all three games in the series using a single, dedicated button for melee attacks. There were some combat alterations between the original Mass Effect and its sequels, but Mass Effect: Legendary Edition works to give the games a more unified feel.
