#Mass effect legendary edition version 1.02 Patch#

Navigating those surprisingly deep dialogue trees to learn more about the ME universe is pretty fascinating. I would ordinarily knock this as shoddy writing, but it's ultimately pretty effective just because the worldbuilding is so excellent. Characters tend to stand in for their species or roles (Tali, for example, has very little dialogue that isn't 'here's how quarians live'/'here's how the geth came to be/work'), in contract to ME2/3 where they develop more individualized traits and storylines. Most conversations in ME1 are infodumps, as several posters have noted. I agree that the game should better highlight just how new humanity is - e.g., that Volus ambassador should have literally said 'you've been here for 30 years, we've been waiting for centuries' - but I think ME1's writing is more or less fundamentally incompatible with humanity having been on the galactic stage for a longer period of time. There seems to be some low-key implied racism with how the other species can be treated too- the Volus for example are not really warriors and rely instead on financial and trade in their workings and alliances, so they may not be seen as relevant in the same way as a species that can kind of do everything so they’re more apt for the Council/Spectres. The timeline is a bit borked but the First Contact War seems like something where humanity proved it’s tenacity or something to the other races of the galaxy. I’m not saying that it’s well explained or justified but it isn’t strictly humans pushing for it necessarily, others are supporting them because there would be no way humans get a foot in the door otherwise. On the Updates tab there is a check box entitled 'Always keep this game up to date'.I’m playing through it again and honestly I didn’t read every lore piece in the past either so I could certainly be missing things, but if I recall correctly some characters you talk to from other races will often share that they have some sort of reason for wanting to support humanity despite it’s quick and exponential growth as well.
