Bought it and played for about an hour or two. Gameplay wasn't interesting, brain dead AI, floaty gunplay, narrative could go either way but wasn't really compelling enough for me to want to continue, uninteresting dialogue choices. Can someone who likes this game explain what I'm missing here?

Sid Meier writes in his Memoir!, that Dan(i) Bunten had not problems with "deadnaming":

Pronouns are a big deal these days, to the point that it would be almost impossible to talk about my friend without angering someone. But Dani, as she went after the surgery, always envisioned herself as a different person in the second phase of her life, and never wanted to erase who she used to be. She often specifically referred to her transition as her "pronoun change," joked about how she only did it to increase the number of female designers in the industry, and once said of her former self, "I'm not as good as a programmer as he was. I'm also not as willing to sit for hours in front of a computer... I tend to need to socialize far more often than he did." I honor both Dan's and Dani's memories by speaking about them the way she preferred.

Unfulfilling relationships with actual people and needing to replace them with digital simulacra? Problems with coming to terms with your sexuality? Lack of personality? And if all else fails, low standards?

Has anyone figured out how to skip cutscenes in this thing yet? Originally you could enable it with an .ini change.

GameInformer 9/10:

Even all these years later, Commander Shepard is a powerful force that lives up to their iconic status, and the trilogy is still captivating and worth your time.

GameGrin 10/10:

Mass Effect: Legendary Edition is a phenomenal remaster of the original trilogy, with enough changes to not only feel fresh, but with enough quality-of-life improvements to truly call this the definitive way to play the Mass Effect trilogy.

Stevivor 8.5/10:

Should you play Mass Effect Legendary Edition? Of course you should. This is BioWare firing — for the most part — on all cylinders and hopefully is the dawn of a new resurgence of the franchise (fingers crossed for EA Play 2021!). Get in, get immersed, explore the galaxy and defend it from a once in a 50,000 year occurence. Then head on over to Andromeda to appreciate that before the next adventures in the Sol system take place.

Press Start Australia 9.5/10:

Mass Effect: Legendary Edition stands tall as one of the best remasters that I've ever played. The amount of care and effort that has gone into restoring the original Mass Effect along with the other two games is unmatched. While there are some underlying minor design issues with the original game, Legendary Edition is the best way to experience the Mass Effect trilogy. Period.

Fextralife Scoreless:

If you are a big fan of this series, I was getting goosebumps watching the opening cutscene. It was that good, literal goosebumps. If you are a fan of this series, you are going to love this game and if you are new to this franchise it is probably good enough Mass Effect 1 to get you through Mass Effect 2 and 3 with very little complaints.

For me this is a slam dunk day one buy, no problems with the game and it looks great, plays great. One of the best roleplaying games of all time and they are definitely a day one buy.

Does a single of those reviews contain the answer to "But why should I buy these games, if I already own them" question?
