Additionally, BioWare says cover has been improved across the trilogy.Īrguably the most notable improvement to Mass Effect 1, however, comes in the form of changes to the infamously wonky M-35 Mako, frequently seen bouncing its way uncontrollably across planets in the original game. Squadmates can now be commanded independently, for example, while XP is now rewarded more consistently, and some enemy and boss encounters have been tweaked to be fairer. It doesn't stop there, however the original game will also gain a melee button, rebalanced abilities, faster weapon cooldowns, inventory management improvements, and more.īioWare also promises specific changes to encounters, enemies, and how players engage in combat in Mass Effect 1 - all intended to bring the experience more inline with its sequel. Combat in Mass Effect 1, which was originally intended to mimic the 'randomness of a dice roll and pen-and-paper stat building', will, for instance, be significantly tweaked in Mass Effect 1 to increase accuracy and reduce frustration.
