Re: How do I open Crates in Mass Effect

E key [Edit: see Fred_vpd's response.  And apparently, you do have the Legendary Editions, so it looks like it is spacebar]

Yes, there are plenty of keyboard commands you will need to use in the game.  You can find the manual online.  Heck, here's a post which will guide you there:

I attached a screencap of the key bindings page

[Edit: again, this is for the original game.  For MELE, I'd suggest getting it from the Origin client.  Click the gear setting near the Play button, select game properties, and there should be a link to the manual?]

You can also see them in-game:

escape>options>settings>controls

Also, on first playthru, you should have tutorial pop-ups.  If  not, go to the in-game settings:

escape>options>settings>tutorials>reset tutorials (and make sure they are on)

  • Thank you both so very much. It WAS the spacebar!

    I played this game on my XBox years ago and thought it was the best game EVER so I was really looking forward to playing it all again on my PC and now it seems I can hopefully!

    Love from Sophie.
