Mass Effect Trilogy - Suggestions needed and some rumors as a topping ?! :P

[TheSwede]

I'm a bit late to the party but have just completed the series and loved all three of the games ! I'll be doing another run soon again and before that wanted some mod suggestions.

Played them almost without any mods, had to use a mod for ME1 since I got the black blob glitch due to using a AMD CPU. Used the same mod for ME2, although I could have done without it but liked the fact it made taking screen shoots easier. In ME3 had to use the Interface Scaling Mod and it's Add-On. Well, didn't HAVE to use it, but the vanilla Interface on a 43'' 4K monitor was way to small had to increase it with said mod. Also used a screen shoot mod since wanted one. Now though.. here is where I need some suggestions:

Although this thread from reddit that divinebeetle posted in another thread seems to be quiet comprehensive for all three games but then again, might be some missed, so please fell free to add more suggestions.

I found this reddit thread a useful guide to modding the mass effect games if its helpful to anyone?

It was like playing a remastered version

Also, I played as a female Vanguard through all three games, so what class would be most fun out of the others ??

------ Rumour Mill ------

As for the last part, hoping that on Thursday the 18th we find out if there is a remaster/remake of the trilogy in the works or not.

This article posted by Stu999 seems to hint on a new Mass Effect game is in the early developments, so guess we'll see in less then a week, maybe !

Rumor: Mass Effect trilogy remaster will be out before next April

Thanks for taking the time to read and post, much appreciated !

Now though I think I am going to download Andromeda and play that one as well and see how that works out !

I noticed the comment here about using a mod to get rid of the black blob texture issues in ME1. Which mod is that? My son has started playing it and got to the part where the textures screw up. We did a lot of searching and the only solutions we managed to find were using the viewmode unlit command from the console and just playing through the sections of the game where there are texture issues (I gather it only happens in two sections of the game?). Be good if we could sort it out a better way. It's put him off the game a bit, which is a shame as the first two especially are really classics.

This is the mod over at Nexus but it is outdated, so have to go to the persons website to download a newer one. Linked to Nexus to so you can see more what it can do. Can also be used for ME2, especially if you want to take some screenies.

I started another playthrough of ME2 the other week but broke off to do something else.

It would be nice to get a remaster, especially taking into account 4K requirements. So many games (Flight Sim, the X space series)suffer from unusuable on screen text and menus as it doesn't scale correctly. I'd like to see ME3 rejigged so it doesn't rely on using the multiplayer section to acquire all your strength for the final missions. I never did venture into that side of it and I expect the servers are long dead now.

I only played through the games once so I might missed something. But what you mean with the highlighted part ?? I never did any multiplayer stuff, so wondering if I missed out on something at the end ?

Ace. Cheers, matey. I'll give that a try this evening.

Did it work out for you, or rather your son ?

It's a bit hazy now but it was something to do with your strength going into the final campaign - though I never managed to get to the end so probably nothing critical.

Alright, I think I did everything I could do, my strength was like 2-3 times more then the 'recommended' strength that was showing in the War Room computer.


In regards to the trilogy and Andromeda, got to admit I liked them all (although not done with Andromeda yet). There was some minor issues in the trilogy's but nothing major, for me. Was mostly game play issues, like in ME 3 the interface was way to small on a 4k screen since it did not scale properly. Although there was a mod that sorted that out, it would been good if it was in game instead. I loved the fact you could transfer your save from game to game and have it effect things, even things you did in ME 1 did effect the game play in ME 3 !

Guess we just have to see what happens with the series, if the rumours are true that a fifth instalment are in the works or not.
