Mass Effect Censorship
I've asked on every official social media page, various YouTube sections, and contacted Bioware, but have gone unanswered so far so here I am at the source.
I've been a Mass Effect fan since the original's release. I played through a dozen times, and a dozen more since the trilogy was completed. When the first game came out, I was old enough to purchase it without a parent with me, as they have all been rated M.
Now, we are being faced with a new wave of censorship from the same political spectrum that opposed censorship in the 90's. But this topic isn't really about society and why adults are to be "protected" from things they are old enough to buy. This is about a very simple question that should have been easy to implement:
Will there be a setting or option to remove the censorship from the rerelease Legendary Edition?
We can certainly agree on the wait and see portion! I have a feeling the end result of slight camera angle adjustments won't be anywhere near what some people are fearing, though I can certainly understand the apprehension any time an old favorite is re-worked to any extent.
For what it's worth, quite a few of the same people actually are working on the game, including the game director who's worked on every single Mass Effect title. You can find his Twitter page here, where he has answered quite a few separate questions and provided some extra insight to folks.
Personally speaking it's pretty reassuring to see a team working on this that is super passionate and excited to re-visit their old project(s) and bring them closer to modern standards, which is a luxury not many games receive.
Locking this iteration of the thread again until we can all see for ourselves and have a discussion about the actual content in front of us, thanks!
