Overview
Vanilla ME Trilogy + Mods is better value. DO NOT be fooled by this Legendary Edition. On consoles I can understand since they have no access to things like mods, but on PC Legendary edition is actually pointless at this stage in time.
Vanilla ME Trilogy + Mods = LEGEND EDITION
Vanilla w/ mods and fixes is still a much better experience. There are so many great big mods and QOL fixes in vanilla ME trilogy. They all provide the QOL fixes this remaster does and a WHOLE lot more (especially in ME2 & 3).
I’ll list some major ME1 ones here for an example, and since ME2 and 3 have much more and this thread would be too long. Seek them out yourself they’re easy to find.

Legend Edition has Steam DRM, Origin DRM and Denuvo DRM. As a stupid guy who has all games and dlc on Origin, let me tell you this:
Update: All versions require Origin DRM. Denuvo Anti-Tamper DRM was removed on June 7, 2021. ***
1.º – The DRM is overkill, *** not so much now.
2.º PC release has some technical problems for a full price remaster, including forced mouse acceleration, poor implementation of the advertised support for ultrawide aspect ratios, and lacking graphical options, including field of view adjustment…
3.º – No discount for owners on origin. fu** you Origin, i wait for the Jack sparrow legend edtion.
Maybe with a good discount i will buy game.
i play the “old school” games with legend visuals called ” mods “
Ps: Fu** EA for the non discount for loyal fans!
PS 2 : Buy game at 50% at least or play on EA Pro.
This is just my opinion, but i do **cking love Mass effect franchise and C&C. Holy *hit EA, bastards.
