My name is Commander Shepard and this is my favorite Mass Effect community on the citadel.

Rules & Regs:

  1. Don't be a dick, unless it's a really spicy renegade interrupt. But even then, seriously, don't be a dick.
  2. Memes are great - seriously, I need more Mass Effect sh!tposting in my life.
  3. This is a welcoming community for all stripes, let's just remember there's people on the other side of the screen and act accordingly.
  4. If you're here, you gotta post. Thems the breaks, kid.

I'm going to replay the ME trilogy soon. I last played about 3 years ago - before the legendary edition was released - and I'm not sure whether I should play the legendary edition or the original versions of each game. Is there any reason to prefer the original versions of ME at this point? I thought mod support might be lacking for the legendary edition, but it looks like it supports most of the more popular mods that the original versions support.

I want to add that if you have an old or shitty pc you should probably go for the original games. Or if you simply don't want to spend more money (assuming you already own the old games).

Indeed, the cash monies is always a factor. Though you made me remember something that puts LE ahead!

On the original versions, namely ME2, there were critical game crashing bugs on Kasumi’s loyalty mission and LOTSB. It was bad enough that I usually skipped those two missions and edited my save files to reflect the decisions as though I’d played through them. Most infuriatingly with Kasumi’s, it happens right after you get on the shuttle with Keiji’s greybox. LOTSB would bug during the car chase, which was at least somewhat earlier on in the mission.

Both of these bugs are fixed with LE.
