Updates and Changes:

• The earth is no longer inverted when viewed from moon/luna. Pluto updated to match the most recent NASA images.
• Elanos Haliat is finally a turian - was accidentally a human in the original.
• ME3: Galactic readiness is now determined by the completion of the trilogy.
• Tali now has her own face.
• A photo mode was added.
• Mako controls were improved.
• Weapon audio was tweaked.
• AI tweaked.
• Improved character models, high-resolution textures, new lighting, depth of field and other visual updates.
• ME1 Level scaling: choice between "legendary mode" to reach level cap in 1 play or "classic mode" to reach cap over multiple plays.
• Elevator conversations can be skipped.
• Some camera angles of female characters were changed to be more appropriate in general conversation - Miranda's backside, FemShep's leg's spread while wearing a dress, etc. Romance scenes were left untouched.

• The only DLC not included is Mass Effect 1's Pinnacle Station because it was outsourced to another studio and the source code recovered was corrupted.
• The remaster keeps the Unreal Engine 3 because the team did not have the resources to move the games to Unreal Engine 4.

ME3 DLC Order:

From Ashes - Best done after Palaven. Javik's dialogue makes a bit more sense if Garrus is there.

Omega - Best played either right after the coup, a good time to get payback at Cerberus, or right after completing the Rannoch arc, due to lulls in the story at both points where a detour makes sense.

Leviathan - Meant to be played very late in the game. The final segment should be played after Thessia to prevent Shepard and Liara from looking like idiots.

Citadel - Works best at the last shore leave, just before the final assault on Cerberus headquarters. Alternatively, main plot and aftermath just after Rannoch and save the party for the last shore leave. Playing it after beating the game and pretending it's an epilogue also works suspiciously well.

- From Ashes and Omega have to be completed in a single go.
- Citadel and Leviathan can be broken up.
