As mentioned, it still feels like a game from 2007, but I don’t know that I’d want it to feel completely modern.
The Legendary Edition was my first experience with the once-Xbox-exclusive title, and the improvements made by BioWare definitely make it feel much more at home within the larger scope of the trilogy. I’d heard horror stories of its dated design and had no desire to go back after already playing through both 2 and 3. I missed the first game entirely, even when it finally came to PlayStation later. Mass Effect 2 was the first Mass Effect game to come to PlayStation consoles.
I spent significantly more time dabbling in local planetary gossip and intergalactic politics than I did shooting things. But I’ll be damned if I wasn’t poking around every corner and talking to everyone I could at every opportunity. Yes, Mass Effect 1 languishes in loads of spoken exposition via dialog trees, and the “skip dialog” dialog button is the same as that for selecting a dialog option, which can make fast readers select options they don’t want to. Understanding what this large grumbly beast of a series actually is is critical to enjoyment of it. Anything less, or any bigger changes, and you’d start to change what Mass Effect means on a bigger level. However, that’s part of its charm, and essential for going into Mass Effect as a series. Granted, the series was well ahead of its time in 2007, but be prepared for a number of elements that date the game. As such, they can at times feel their age-even with all of its improvements, the first Mass Effect still feels like a game that came out of 2007.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition is less full remake and more a “recapture,” that’s to say it’s attempting to recapture what it was like to play these epic RPGs when they each first released a decade ago. After all, that which is most beloved also becomes the most criticized.
It’s this big enormous beloved series with just as many frustrations levied at it for a variety of reasons.

The entire package includes almost all of the DLC, but don't expect to see the Pinnacle Station DLC thanks to its source code being corrupted, Mass Effect 3's multiplayer, or camera angles focused on Miranda's butt. Mass Effect Legendary Edition is out on May 14 and includes various tweaks to the original game to bring it up to speed with its first two sequels, such as improved aiming and driving.
Whether any of these mods will be technically compatible with the Legendary Edition, also remains to be seen. Orikon is currently working on new Mass Effect mods and has said that this news hasn't changed their plans.
The question came in response to a conversation involving Orikon, a modder whose Priority Earth Overhaul mod attempted to improve on Mass Effect 3's final level by including a vast array of restored cut content, new gameplay elements, and various improvements, ranging from bug fixes all the way to entirely new cutscenes.
