[Feedback] Armax Arena and Legacy Bugs
Mordin Solas and Legion are not in the arena and should be virtual Squadmates and were originally in the day one version of Mass Effect Legendary Edition when it was originally released in May of 2021 and the September update was botched and was never properly fixed and patched. And Pinnacle Station added to the first Mass Effect game. Also, currently it is impossible to max out all trees in all 3 games and do not reset for Shepard on ng+. And in ME1 all items are not re-rolling properly upon NG+ increasing damage and damage protection. Demiurge would have to totally rewrite the backup from scratch in order to get it to properly work and eventually also fix the Xbox Series X botched September '21 update and patch that still has not been fixed to this day. And all the DLC WEAPONS AND ARMOR ADDED automatically without crafting or buying them and at the beginning of ME 2 start with the phalanx pistol instead of the default.
And the Collector weapons added to Mass Effect 3 that were originally available for MP mode and are still in the files and technically could be re-integrate back into the files. Also, another thing is the extended fuel cells and all research upgrades and damage and ammo bonuses added and re-integrated back into Mass effect 2and crosses over to the save file import to Mass Effect 3. Along witg all Galaxies from Mass Effect 2, including the Rosetta Nebula which was originally Prothean and had a Prothean Ruin and Pragia along the the Turian Telescope. In ME2, during a NG+ new game, you would have all weapons and Jacob the Geth shotgun, during Pragia, Joker would joke about outrunning the nuke and reference this again in ME3 that was originally on the 360 version and Wilson would originally shoot himself in the leg to make it look like was shot by the enemy. Also, in ME3 Citadel DLC, Harret's store terminal is linked to both the Normandy Quartermaster's and the SPECTRE Terminal so you can purchase the weapon mods after the completion of The Omega DLC. The Chakram Launcher which was originally a promotional by Bioware, is kind of extremely weak and lacks a good explosive charge and should explode similar to the Venom pistol which fires squash head rounds.
And since then when I originally played the game I had the older model of the X and now have Series X and still am a(n) Microsoft Xbox Insider Alpha Skip Ahead level. My Version of the game is Version 1.0.162.1548

Hey Commander,I really appreciate you putting all of this together—it’s clear you have a deep understanding of the series, and I get how frustrating it must be to see these legacy issues still lingering, especially when they impact gameplay so directly. You’ve pointed out a lot of interesting details, from Armax Arena squadmates to NG+ mechanics, item re-rolls, and even content that could potentially be re-integrated. It’s always great to see players who are so invested in Mass Effect’s world and mechanics.
The issues you mentioned, like Mordin and Legion missing from Armax Arena, the lingering NG+ progression inconsistencies, and the Xbox Series X update problems, are things I’ll make sure to pass along to the team. When it comes to things like reintroducing Collector weapons, expanding research upgrades across ME2 and ME3, and the various cut or altered dialogue moments, I’d be curious to hear from other players as well—how much would these kinds of restorations or improvements add to your experience? Some of my favorite weapons were the Collector weapons. I think I used the Collector Assault Rifle the most.
It’s always great to have discussions like these, and I appreciate you sharing your insights. I’ll be marking this as solved for visibility, but that doesn’t mean the conversation has to end—feel free to add more thoughts, and I’d love to see what other players think too!
