Hi all, decided I would replay ME1 and managed to get the trilogy cheap woo
Anyway when I booted it up I almost laughed at the graphics or lack of, drove me pretty nuts after playing ME3 last year so did some hunting online and found this sweet mod:
http://www.moddb.com/mods/mass-effect-1-new-texture-updatesimprovements-mod

Really easy to install, took me about 20mins in total including downloading it and the improvements are simply beyond belief!

Also enabled SGSSAA via Nvidia Inspector for beauty. Highly recommend if you are thinking about having another play through anytime soon (Or if this thread inspired you :D ). Tested working with origin version!
 
Nice find, Mass Effect was a great game but the follow ups had so many improvements its a bit unbearable to go back an play through lol.

I'll down load it just in case I ever decide to do a trilogy play-through, cheers Murah
 
works great with SLI(actually shocked) , full textures and SGSSAA looks like it should have done!
 
Do the chairs on the Normandy have the glitch where the texture is plain blue (missing)? I used to have this on my 680GTX with any drivers after those when the game came out (so I always kept some old drivers around to reinstall for playing the game.)

I presume you are running recent drivers
 
I recently completed an ME1 and ME2 replay, and I'm just starting ME3 (but need to get the DLC first...overly hopeful of some discount cropping up soon...)

In many ways, I still prefer ME1. Although the combat is clunky, the guns feel much meatier (they're like peashooters in ME2!) and the story/pacing is much better. It still stands up in its own right, IMO.

Must be my 5th playthough on ME1, 3rd on ME2, and it'll be my 2nd on ME3.
 
Oh and regarding ME3, I'm not sure how they managed to screw up the facial movement/voice sync so badly, or some of the animations (running is hilariously bad).
 
I don't think I have ever seen ME3 DLC on offer lol, I ended just getting it all full price. Citadel and Leviathan are good. Worth getting the extended cut too, think thats free
 
The ME games are great for having SGSAA or other types of mega-AA settings cranked up to the max. Partly it is UE3 and partly it is the type of game (cut-scene/conversation heavy), but it looks absolutely astounding at times when the full grunt of a modern GPU is applied.
