My platform: Xbox Series X
In ME3:LE's Priority: Palaven mission, on the Palaven's moon named Menae, every Reaper in the background has visual errors.
It looks like there is something between their legs, a sky texture looking thing, it hides some of the Reaper's legs. Every Reaper on Menae looks like this:

The original Mass Effect 3 had no issue like this, see for yourself:
Either reapers have gotten a LOT bigger or this is a glitch...
It looks like it's behind a planet!
@PsychotpsDidn't paid attention during gameplay but looking back at the screenshots I see your point. It is like a missing transparency on atmospheric effect. Or perhaps it's a result of LOD and in far distance the fog looks like a solid opaque block.

It is terrain covered in dust, fog and smoke. 🤔
Could you cut the allusions and tell us what you see as a problem here?
@holger1405 Take a look at the screenshot @sweetpoison0011 posted, there's an opaque curved background feature obscuring the Reapers legs. I believe this is meant to be transparent fog or a similar effect, not terrain (if it's terrain, it's oddly colored and smooth).
I don't believe this is how it looks in the original game, I noticed this while playing Legendary Edition as well. I pulled a screenshot from a video of the original game of what I believe this effect is supposed to look like, notice how the legs are visible through the effect. If someone could get a better in-game screenshot from the original ME3 in the same location as the original post that'd be appreciated.
For my shame, I don't have a save on that moon because now I'm curious if that occur only on screenshots or is visible during the play.
@sweetpoison0011 I can confirm this effect occurs during play in the Legendary Edition (on Xbox One), I noticed this and did not take a screenshot. I'm curious to see what the same area in the original ME3 looks like, I don't believe it looks like this.
I'll probably be able to get a screenshot of what it looks like in the original game tomorrow if no one else has posted one by then.
