    Resctriction. Removed. I think we’ve all earned the right to be immediately and brutally punished by our favorite games.

    Question about MELE, with the difficulty levels of the original trilogy we had to beat the game once to unlock hardcore, and then another on that level to unlock insanity. Are we going to have all levels available at the start or have to do multiple runs again?

    Yup. I’ve seen a lot of requests. We’ll get pic of the OG preset soon for all those asking.

    All versions (PC and Console) support HDR.

    PC version has HDR right? On the legendary edition?

    Yes, the ME1 HUD was revamped for Legendary Edition. The final will be very close to what we've shown (we were still polishing when we grabbed those captures).

    in a few of the Legendary Edition screen shots we see a different hud for the health bars and Mako. Will these changes be in the final product, or are they only placeholders?

    Might be. He really doesn't like "human Spectres"...

    Yes, me modeled the new ME1 HUD after the best elements from ME2/3 (where appropriate) - so all 3 games would feel more cohesive as a trilogy.

    Hey Mac, I’m loving the new ME1 UI, do the other two games have UI that’s similar to it at least aesthetically and not in terms of mechanics? I’m very curious

    Great eye! Yes.

    It looks like we have updated uniforms@for ME1, also. Did I see that right in the trailer?

    Kinda. But not really. We often started with ME3 characters, as they were the highest fidelity. Then we improved further before bringing them back into ME1/2 . But... we were very careful to adapt for likeness. So, for example, ME1 Liara still looks like ME1 Liara, only better.

    Hi Mac, I wondered if the squad in ME1 had been tweaked to look more like their ME2&3 models?

    Yes for sure... those were part of the N7 Collector's Edition Pack (right there at the bottom of a quite long list of DLC, packs, promos etc that come with the Legendary Edition).

    The jungles of Virmire have never looked better. Take a peek at Legendary Edition compared to the original.

    We actually did a couple things in ME2 to make morality checks a bit less strict/frustrating. specifically did those things...

    was particularly unforgiving if you wanted everyone to survive. You either had to play full renegade or full paragon to 'pass' a particular argument. Hope the requirements are less rigid this time. 🙂

    Not to mention some sweet improvements to weapon and Mako SFX in ME1. PewPew.

    What he said! 😊 The work varied from title to title as you can imagine. But yes your assumptions are correct. Content quality settings could be unlocked, reworked choice sounds, added to sparse cinematics, legacy bug fixes, and lots of tool wrangling.

    Yes! Only black blob remaining is in Saren's heart...

    hello 😁 Sorry if that has been asked before but were you guys able to fix the infamous « black blob » glitch that happens on Noveria and Ilos in ME1?

    I mean, with all the improvements to ME1 I think you'd be missing out. But yeah, you can jump directly into any of the 3 games from the new launcher.

    Will I be able to skip ME1 and dive right into ME2?

    I am! But could say it better (short answer is "yes" to much of that).

    Are you able to say whats been done on the audio front for MELE? Did you change, enhance, add new sound effects? Were you able to use higher quality samples and use less compression? Stuff like that.

    OVERHEAT. Core mechanics were maintained. But... camera, input/controls, aiming, AI, cover, weapon-balance, squad control, boss encounters, Mako handling & aiming - all much improved in ME1. Oh, and a totally updated HUD.

    We're working to make it as compatible as possible (we even added the code importer to ME1). But due to improvements and new options in character creator, some codes are currently working better than others.

    Will it be possible to import the appearance of our Commander Shepard (s) into the Legendary Edition, or are they completely incompatible?
