Mass Effect Legendary Edition has received a new patch which brings about several updates to the remastered trilogy. PC gamers in particular should be happy with improved performance with this patch.
The major highlights from this patch include several key points. First, English spoken dialogue can be selected separately from subtitles. Additionally, several issues were resolved when you unlocked achievements or trophies. This includes the Paramours and kill count tracker. Additionally, the patch fixed pre-rendered cutscenes which appeared darker. Wireless headsets and devices won’t give you any more problems with the Xbox launcher. And finally, PC performance has been improved across the board for a multitude of hardware configurations, including on the planet Virmire.
The patch breaks out additional updates for each game. for example, Mass Effect 2 updates include:
- Toned down the intensity of fog on Illium
- Fixed an issue where a character’s eyes at the end of the Overlord DLC were unintentionally red
- Reduced the max credits that can be carried from Mass Effect to Mass Effect 2 down to 100k for more balanced early-game progression
- Credit carryover maximum now matches carryover from the original release
- Posthumous banking fees are a lot! It’s a great way to dodge taxes.

And it looks like modders are working on restoring some unused gay romance scenes. You can read about their efforts here. If you’re playing on PC and you find the FOV too constricting, use this mod to adjust your FOV for each game. Speaking from experience, it’s amazing.
