I like the games the way developers intended them to be. I'm liberal enough to admit that. But game modders have extra wishes and throw childish tantrums when those are not met. That's why PC gaming became popular. Modding. Illegal hacks. You guys make me sick.

I don't think I'll ever stop coming back to Mass Effect. There are no stories quite like it. Not many games take one big story, and make it span several games. At least, not these days. The worldbuilding of Mass Effect is some of the best and immersive you can get and I wish we'd get some news about whatever they've been teasing.

There is no right or wrong, every player can use their own imagination to fill in the gaps because that was the whole point they made it that way.

Sarens look is a product of an "accident" around the first contact war... It's only explained in the comics, but he was basicly hit by the blast from a Reaper artifact on a mission, which was the same that gave TIM the glowing eyes. So he would have reported the incident, and has been looking like that for decades by the time the trilogy happens, with pretty much no one having even heard about indoctrination or the Reapers at that point. So it does have an explanation, just not in the actual games... A lot of things are hinted at, but never given screentime, like what happened that made the Quarians hate Cerberus, why Anderson namedrops Paul Grayson, as if the player, let alone Shepard, would have any idea who a book only character is, and what exactly happened with James on the Collector mission that went wrong.

Awesome video! Love to see people so invested on ME's modding scene. One question, though, have the folks behind EGM for ME3 imported all the assets from the original mod? They did an amazing job with the one already avialable for the LE, but some of the OGM custom quests were awesome, so here I am hoping for a miracle

3 hrs to set up on all 3 games worth it thank you .

Sad too late to replay it all over again, still fresh in memory. Maybe gonna try it again in few years.

Good list, cool to see Dreams Remade getting recognition cause that mod is awesome. Personally I don't really like LE1 Streamlined Weapon Loadouts cause I like having all the weapons on me, which is why I also add Nearly Unrestricted Loadouts for LE2 and I'm also not a huge fan of the Virmire Savior mod cause it kinda takes away from the impact of the mission. Other than that very nice list. Oh and I'd also recommend you check out the Reworked Kai Leng mod cause it makes that guy just that tad bit cooler (which he desperately needs :DDDD).

Excellent collection. Just got it working. I feels ... proper. 😅

I was very late jumping on the Mass Effect bandwagon, only started playing when Legendary Edition was on sale (first thing I asked myself was, "Why the hell did I not play this before? This is awesome!"). Love most of these mods, especially those that make the world more immersive. I do wish there was a body mod, so we can at least make Fem-Shep not look so damn anorexic! As Miranda is my favourite character not named Shepard, I'm glad she can now be a larger part of ME3. It never made sense that she is so limited and can't be on the Normandy, especially since I always have her as Bro-Shepard's love interest. Since I'd already played through once when I switched to Bro-Shep, and knew the ending, it made it more emotional during their final interaction when she says, "Finish this and then find me!" Speaking of which, I'm also pretty sure I'm in the minority, but I find it more fitting that Shepard dies at the end of ME3. I don't dislike the mod or having that option, but it added so much more emotional weight to the story when she dies, especially with how messed up she was (Fem-Shep was my first and third playthrough). That plastoid armour was melted to her skin and she's bleeding all over the place. You know she's dying. There is no Project Lazarus to save her this time. That look of determination and rage as she blasts the barrier to destroy the Reapers (because let's face it, the other options are lame), is so intense. To have her come back from the dead AGAIN feels kind of cheap and lessens her sacrifice ... but that's just me, and I could just not turn on that mod.

I won't even guess at how much work went into figuring out which mods work together and what order to put them in, or even which ones to use. Kudos for your work, and kudos to the mod creators.

good job, But I was happy with my experience for the 5-6 times I completed it. Looking forward for the new trilogy though :)

Bro i am speachless. This is what the remastered ME edition should have looked like! Freaking beautiful

Thanks a lot for all this work and share!!

“Lovemaking Expansion: Now you can get lucky with your love interest in 7 new positions.”

This is fucking brilliant! I've generally just installed bug fix mods and left the visuals but this has opened up a whole new world. Wow. Will you be updating your collection as some become available?

I got ME Legendary on Ps5 and wanted to try the mod experience on PC since it was on discount. Spent 2 days just modding with this tool and hopefully i can inmerse myself into a new adventure. All the best.

AI voice generation really shows its massive use here, its amazing to use it for modders to seamlessly add new content and to expand the overall game without feeling out of place. Also is there a mod that expands those A or B option miniquests (if you can even call them that) at the Citadel in ME3 into actual natural conversations? That is something that really bothered me the first time i've played it which felt like a huge downgrade from the previous games. A mod which expands conversations in general would be great to make the dialogue in ME3 more like how it was in the first two games. Sometimes Shepard says things without giving an option in ME3 and says things your Shepard as you Roleplay wouldn't say which also felt like a downgrade. Overall i'm excited for a lot of these mods when they are finished, wanted to return to this series for a while now and there probably has never be a better time for that.

If there is ever be a remake of the Mass Effect trilogy in the future, I want them to use or be inspired by this mods. It looks brilliant!!!👍👍👍

I am already sold on downloading and installing these mods for a fresh playthrough of the ME story. The mods you discussed, especially the mods that make an impact on the course of the story, make the ME experience more vibrant. I understand where the ME development team was going story wise with the choice given to players on Vermire, but the option to actually try to save both Ash and Kaiden with a timer~ meaning you could fail should the battle not pan out as hoped~ adds so much more to the moment. These mods look like they collectively offer a remake/remaster that honors the story, lore, and ME world building and I am sold on trying them out.
