Please remove letterboxing for aspect ratios 21:9 and higher

Please remove letterboxing for ingame cutscenes or conversations. FMV obviously have to be 16:9 with letterbox but the others dont. They are not even present in the original ME games. So far this is a clear downgrade for 21:9 users.

    You are right about that one, wasn't thinking. 🙂

    Flawlesswidescreen already implemented a the fix for the MELE, so everyone that wants can enjoy the Games with Ultra Widescreen cutscenes as well. 

    Is that ideal? No. 

    But it works.

    I thought you already refunded the game, so why are you still here? 🤔

    And its 3 games, plus all the DLCs btw. 😁

  • Just speaking for myself, but I didn't find the 16:9 too distracting during the conversations. You are focusing on the character you are speaking to, and the background is blurred anyways with depth of focus. I did try the Flawless Widescreen fix and was able to replace the black bars with additional background blur. I ended up not using FW and just living with the 16:9 dialogues.

    Ultrawide seems more essential when you are actually moving through the world, as opposed to dialogue.

    That's just my personal take, but I do understand folks that don't like pillar-boxing.
