Renegade vs Paragon

I can kind of guess what Bioware were going with this but in execution it didn't turn out so well. Some mods have tried to fix this with Renegade Shepard sacrificing aliens to put humans first while Paragon is we're all in this together but again, story wise it doesn't turn out so good.

Works better in Dawn of the Reapers mod for Sins:Rebellion anyway.

Repetitive Romance Structure.

Can see you're grasping for straws. What would have been good is a Lair of the Shadow Broker sized DLC where you get to bring different characters through and spend time with them. Like acting as bait at an amusement park before it gets hijacked by Cerberus or something. Kind of what Citadel was but too little to late.

The Gay.

So, glossing over the fact that Liara is an option for Femshep in 1, there's not enough of it for you. One look at nexusmods shows otherwise, as gay mods for Femshep and Ashley and Kaiden and Male shep exist for Me1, and continuing that through ME2 and 3. How? Unused dialog files that Bioware scrapped but kept in the game data. There are assorted gay mods for ME2 and 3 as well, so you're argument is invalid.

I also want to point out Liara again because I can't say no to that big blue ass.

Punching a Reporter

I've had enough of your snide insinuations HIT

I've had enough of your discourteus assertions. HIT

I've had enough of you prolonging this joke because this person was looking for 5 points and came up with 3 max. HIT

The Ending

How Mass Effect: Legendary Edition will be received is, ultimately, up to the fans.

Considering that the Happy Ending mod exists, considering I do a yearly play-through of ME with that enabled since 2015, considering that Fans basincally saved and redeemed ME3 by adding much needed fluff and missions through mods, I'd say legendary is gonna flop if they don't change that ending.

We'll see. A small detail that I can use to gauge if it's good, a canary in the coalmine so to speak, is if they change the Asari from a mono-gender to whatever culture-approved gender is in fashion this week. If they change it so that Asari arn't all biologically female and go through the "Maiden, Matron, Matriarch" steps of their lives, then I'll know it's not worth my time. If they also change it, it'll line up with what they were trying to push with Andromeda and that is definitely out.

Honestly, the biggest problem is removing the Virmire Survivor in ME2. Even if you played MShep romancing Ashley, it fucks you over.

And most of the characters they added in ME2 were garbage. I would argue that even when they were well-written, they were still unnecessary, and just watered down the development of existing characters.

Obviously, this is a huge impact to gay players, though, as Kaidan is all we get.
