Re: Allow us to toggle helmets in ME2&3

Those particular armor sets weren't designed to be toggled off. Was never like that in the original trilogy either.

Nor were camera angles or combat or inventory or lighting or minigames etc.. etc... That's the whole point of a remaster, else one would stick with the original, well on PC that's is as we can use mods, on consoles players are totally behind on this and stuck with 2007 graphics provided one still has an old consoles as they cannot retro either.

I think the effort behind the remaster has been very low, quick cash grab.

Well it is very simple go on YouTube, write MASS EFFECT LEGENDARY EDITION vs MODS and then come back here and we can discuss it further as clearly you miss the basics to have a conversation not knowing.

Sure it is marginally better, I would well hope so when modders do not have the chance to use the original uncompressed file and models whilst EA can, marginal <> £54 asking price though, it is not high if the fixes are there, from ultrawide, to no settings, no FOV, bugs... I mean it is a very poor remaster.

And I am a big mass effect fan, that does not mean I let a corporate selling me a bad product.

On the specific topic of the thread, I also would like to have the option from the character screen.  Several comments have been made about the armors that were never made for helmet removal.  I have two comments about that.  First, I can't figure out how to do it in ME2 even with the basic N7 armor.  I thought that the original had an option to remove the helmet for conversations -- maybe I'm misremembering.  Second, for the original version of the games, mods are available that alter several of the other popular armors so that helmet's can be removed.  If this has been done by mods, it doesn't seem unreasonable to have expected it for the official remaster.

Regarding the suggestion of a quick cash grab, I don't think that's what is happening, although you might be correct. Apparently most of the effort was spent on graphics, which was necessary, but probably not sufficient.

I think it mostly was an attempt to reboot interest in the series, following on the poor reception of Andromeda, and the hope that people will buy the new game that they have in progress.  If that was the goal, I'm not sure that they've accomplished it yet.  Interested in seeing what a few patches accomplish.  I'm happy with the purchase, but I definitely can see a lot of missed opportunities.

Agree on all sentiments in this thread. There should be toggle to remove helmet on cutscenes in ME2 and ME3. Playing on series X. It's very weird for my Shepard to be wearing a helmet on cutscenes. Hope that there can be a fix to this soon.
