Mass Effect Trilogy remastered

For what it is the visual overhaul is pretty decent, performance is mostly solid also but it'd be extremely surprising not to be (I had one frame drop out of the blue for about 20 seconds before it went back to normal). The graphics tuning options are pretty much non-existent but again being a relatively simple upgrade and not a modern title I doubt anyone will have performance issues running it 'maxed' on anything more powerful than a potato. Controls are funky as mentioned above, especially returning to the old annoyance of mapping out Keys as you would a controller, Sprint and Use are the same key...because those two things are so related and need to be on one key when I have quite a few of them to spare... The tiny FOV is the only constant thing getting in the way of my enjoyment right now though, it's making me ill with the awkard screen bob when running so I'm just avoiding sprint except in emergencies. I'm also not crazy about them removing the zoom-bob on snipers, it's way too easy to target now whereas it took some skill on the older version.
Still really enjoying being back in the series and hopefully there'll be some FoV fixes shortly.

Do people go purely paragon, rigidly renegade or mix and match?

I usually go purely Paragon, better off picking one and sticking with it

Got reacquainted with the clunkiness after an hour or two. Fine with it now.

Tried to play ME 1. But just to janky for me. So after 5 hours hopped over to mass effect 2, enjoying it a good bit. Bit saddened it does not play well on super ultra wide. HUD size is broken. I can barely see the weapon wheel. Bug where I need to disable anti aliasing or ghosting on the left side of the screen happens. (Can force in nvidea control panel for now). The weapon wheel is tiny but the subtitles take up half the screen so have to disable them . Pc options in generally pretty crap too e.g no fov slider etc. Wee bit disappointed with it so far. Surprised at how many reviews are saying it’s how remastered should be done. As technically it’s a still a bit all over the place and still feels like a poor pc port with **** all settings.

Yes it's a good remaster of a console port, they did a good job updating the core but didn't change how the PC port originally is a sub par conversion. Not being PC-master-race just pointing out that the same mistakes they made in translation in the original remain here so many years later, but that should not be surprising as it happens elsewhere also. I've given up on asian PC games understanding what a mouse is for example. Still, it's Mass Effect, it's that friend you know you shouldn't like but still love.

Just started Mass Effect today. My Shepard is an Earthborn, War Hero, Solider which I feel perfectly captures my idea for what Shepard could be. Someone who grew up on the streets on Earth without a family, learning how to survive and attaining strong skills and street smarts but also mindful of where he/she comes from so comes from a humble background, then joins the military and proves his valour as a soldier, and becomes a war hero by saving Elysium. His war hero status helps him become an N7, and then eventually a Spectre.

I can't not pick male Shep, even though i can admit female Shep sounds better.

My head canon just won't allow it.

Male renegade Shepard sounds too evil, while Female paragon Shepard is a bit too goody goody and reminds me too much of captain janeway in star trek at least like when she's had her coffee and not blowing up borg.

That's the way I did ME and Biowares' Old republic, went through the voices for each class and picked the one that sounded most inline with the good/bad and class I was going for.

They got rid of morality in Andromeda, and Dragon age never had it. Individual character approval or faction approval in those. Didn't play Anthem but I don't think it had morality either.

The only ongoing thing they've morality in it is Old republic where it's tied to the dark/light side.

Thought they did something about that so you weren't punished for the order you did the side stuff.
