The latest Mass Effect Legendary Edition patch notes are in, and while they're not extensive, they do cover quite a few glaring bugs. Yes, I'm talking about the eye problems.
Since Mass Effect Legendary Edition includes all three games' DLC, many players are encountering Mass Effect 2's Overlord DLC for the first time ever. Problematic representations of autism aside, there's an especially disturbing scene where a character's eyes are unintentionally incredibly red. That character in question has been held in captivity for quite some time, and it's a pretty gruesome sight when you finally discover them, but apparently BioWare didn't intend to make it that gruesome. Thankfully, those eyes have been fixed.
The latest patch notes also improve eye animations for male characters in certain scenes in Mass Effect 1, which explains why Conrad Verner was looking at me funny the last time I was on the Citadel, right?
- Massive Stalker 2 patch starts chipping away at the notoriously glitchy game's worst problems, including over 80 cutscene problems and nearly 2,000 more bugs
- Helldivers 2's funniest feature was removed last year, but it's finally been reinstated – although it won't save you from certain doom anymore
There are also several bug and crash fixes, collision improvements, a de-fogging of Illium in Mass Effect 2, and other adjustments in the latest patch notes. To get a full breakdown of all the calibrations BioWare has done on Mass Effect Legendary Edition, head to the Mass Effect blog. We've also summed up the bigger changes below:
