@felker_s I wouldn't call it "lazy". Just odd.
Look at it this way. Fixing the bug would entail Changing a single BOOL flag. Which just amounts to changing a "1" to a "0". Simplicity itself. However, instead of fixing it, they decided to write an entirely new scene, with new animations, new dialog, and all that? It's totally PSYCHOTIC and makes no sense at all... but hardly lazy.

@PsychotpsThey did that in the original Mass Effect 3. So basically it was a natural part of development. It was almost funny, a nod to their past mistake.
However, in case of MELE, it's just laziness that they thought it's okay to leave it like that.
I know I sound salty in a lot of my comments, but it's because of things that you also mentioned in your previous comment - they basically left every damn bug in this edition. Add the fact that the available options are incredibly limited on all platforms. Then add the fact that I personally think the visual updates feel like the lowest possible effort... I dunno, I love ME, and I love playing it on my XSX with 60 fps, but come on, this could have been so much more.
