As always: no flames, no drama, let's all have fun out there. Go out and explore, Pathfinder!  
And here is the trailer for the Remastered Edition (doesn't seem to be on Youtube yet):
Your choices. Your squad. Your Shepard. Relive the legend in a remastered edition of the highly acclaimed trilogy. Mass Effect Legendary Edition arrives Spring 2021.https://t.co/jLUj8FUGaIpic.twitter.com/vxTKyq4LQ1
I'm excited! Looks like no support for multiplayer, which I'm disappointed about though. Super happy that this franchise is getting some love, and I'm so eager to see a whole new generation of people fall in love with these games. :)
From Casey Hudson, Incoming General Manager of BioWare
Almost twenty years ago, I decided to apply for a job as a technical artist at a local video game company in Edmonton. Young, and fresh out of University, I’m not sure what I expected it to lead to. But it was the beginning of a career full of experiences and shared accomplishments I never could have dreamed of. So when I left BioWare three years ago, it was the most difficult decision of my career. I needed some time off, needed a bit of change, and wanted to get involved in the new wave of disruptive technologies that were emerging.
The last few years have been transformative for me, from having time to reflect on what I most want to do, to working with new technologies at platform scale. And now, I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to return to lead BioWare – a studio that I think of as home.
I’d also like to wish my good friend Aaryn Flynn the very best in the future. Aaryn and I have worked together from the earliest days of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, to setting the foundation for Anthem. We’ve been through a lot together, and we’re all going to miss his presence at the studio.
I think I speak for everyone who has worked with Aaryn – and our fans – when I say thank you for everything. BioWare continues to hold a special magic – full of profoundly talented people, and an inspiring creative energy. When I look at the stunning progress Aaryn and the team has made with Anthem, and the other projects in the works, I truly believe our best is yet to come.
While alas ME:A didn't grab me the way I'd hoped it would, it did make me want to replay the original trilogy. In so doing, I realized I'm still bitter about not being able to have the option to convince Thane to have the operation. I have a vague memory that at one point during ME3 development, that story option was on the table, but I don't know if that's a real memory or just wishful thinking. Does anyone here remember anything about that?
On a tangent - somehow, the DLC I have for Zaeed is broken - when I started me ME2 game I saw it talk about "recruiting the veteran" and yet - nope, no actual mission. Kinda a bummer and not sure why since the other DLC are all here.
