Luckily for all of us, the modding community has been hard at work trying to fix this problem since launch, and has come up with some great amendments to the base game. I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite mod on the Citadel.Įven all this time later, I still find it hard to talk about how much I enjoy Mass Effect 3 without also admitting how much I still HATE the ending, like 99% of the world. Preserves the nostalgia of the original release.Much needed paint job for Mass Effect 3.This mod is one of my favorites, as I love how careful the team was not to mess with any of the parts we love about Mass Effect 3.

They also have dug through the game’s files and have re-introduced high-resolution textures and assets that, for whatever reason, ended up being left out when the game shipped in 2012. The modding team working on this isn’t glossing over the entirety of the game in a distracting or careless way, but instead refining the rough edges so that they won’t ruin a player’s immersion, even if they are playing for the first time. The biggest difference between this visual overhaul mod and others is how committed they are to upholding the base game’s presentation. The “A Lot of Textures (ALOT) for ME3” mod softens the nostalgia blow you are bound to feel when you boot up the ol’ PS3 or Xbox 360 for a replay. Returning to Mass Effect 3 after over 9 years away from Normandy can be a jarring experience, especially now that we are two generations away from the consoles the game was meant to run on.
