Mass effect 1 lost ability

It would be nice to get a fix indeed, though considering the lack of communication from the developers since the June patch, I doubt we'll be getting anything. There is plenty of room in the ability bar on the PC LE, unlike Holger1405 said. It is just that they did not bother fixing this well-known bug. I've had this also happen with my Sentinel character once I unlocked my last ability, which was Neural Shock. Even though there were two empty slots left in the ability bar, my Warp power disappeared. Then there's the bug with Liara - after unlocking Stasis, Overload disappeared from her ability bar, even though there was an empty slot left.

Try to reread what I said and you might understand. 😉

What exactly did I not understand about what you wrote? Instead of being condescending, you might want to explain it, if you think I did not understand. 

You said that that there is not enough room in the power bar for the additional power which is just plain incorrect on the PC version of the game. I don't know about the consoles. I explained my issue and said that there are plenty of spots left for the abilities, yet the bug still occurs. Maybe reread what I said instead? 😉

OK, lets try.

There is, as the state of the game is now, not enough room in the power bar for the last power. Period! 😉

There is no more space in the Power Bar because the programmers of the original games made a mistake regarding the really usable slots

That is the bug.

I was of course not talking about the physical space available, or the unused slot, that world be ridiculous.

Fair enough. I did not take your sentence about the 'not enough room in the power bar' meant 'usable' room rather than just the useless empty slots. I apologise for my previous aggressive response, I must have had an off day and took it out on you, which is not fair ☹️

I find it odd that the devs bothered to increase the amount of slots that look 'available' as you say, but are not actually used. I suppose it is not an issue that really hampers the game progress, what with all the other abilities one can use, but this was such a well known gameplay bug that you'd think they would fix it in a remaster. At least you can get around it for Shepard using the workaround you mentioned.
