It has arrived, along with a surprise poster, lol.

I'm itching to dig into it, but I'm also dying to get back to Spiritfarer. Who would have guess a quaint little game from ThunderLotus would lead me to put off Mass Effect?

I'm so excited for this but man I wish they had included ME3's multiplayer. I know that would've been wildly impractical but that multiplayer mode is just so fun

Oh I can't wait to jump back in and I literally just finished my classic run of the trilogy two days ago. Maybe do a pure Engineer run this time, or maybe Sentinel. It's been a long time since I went Infiltrator, so perhaps it's time to give that a go once more.

Here we go:

The Galaxy at War feature puts you in the heart of the Reaper War from the Normandy’s Combat Information Center, which has been rebalanced in the Legendary Edition. For example, Galactic Readiness is no longer impacted by external factors that aren’t part of the collection, like multiplayer or the old companion app for ME3.

For example, Galactic Readiness is no longer impacted by external factors that aren’t part of the collection, like multiplayer or the old companion app for ME3.

I figured as much.

And this:

Shepard can now sprint out of combat

I worry about this one. You can sprint at half speed in ME, without using stamina. As long as they haven't assigned stamina to sprinting out of combat, I'm fine with this. In essence, I hope it's more like ME3 than ME2. ME2 is infinitely frustrating for this reason.

Here's one for @anarchistica:

Inventory management improvements

  • Items can now be flagged as “Junk”
  • All Junk items can be converted into Omni-gel or sold to merchants at once
  • Inventory and stores now have sorting functionality

And here's the one everyone is waiting for:

These are the calibrations you can expect to experience when driving the Mako:

Improved handling

  • Physics tuning improved to feel “weightier” and slide around less

Improved camera controls

  • Resolved issues preventing the Mako from accurately aiming at lower angles Shields recharge faster

New thrusters added for a speed boost

  • Its cooldown is separate from the jump jets’

The XP penalty while in the Mako has been removed

Touching lava no longer results in an instant Mission Failure and instead deals damage over time

I wonder how enhanced these will be for the next gen consoles. I suspect they will benefit from some boosts despite not being full Series X|S or PS5 releases. I just wonder how much of a boost we'll see.
