It benefits tremendously from a few easy modifications. Whatever your feelings on its presentation, its art aesthetic has stood the test of time, 8+ years after its initial release.
This has led to some divisiveness in the community about the merits of the grandfather game. Hindsight shows us that the formula for the franchise hadn’t quite been perfected, yet. The original Mass Effect was, in retrospect, something of an experiment. These will likely be modified from time-to-time, so check back, occasionally.
My recommendations for a pretty game, without the use of code injectors.
