New Game Mass Effect
Hello BioWare Team, As a long-time and dedicated fan of the Mass Effect series, I would like to contribute an idea regarding story continuity in the upcoming game. Given the various endings of Mass Effect 3 and the teaser with Liara and the N7 armor, it's clear that addressing this will be crucial for many. I propose the following approach, which would respect player choices while allowing for a strong continuation of the story: * Allow save imports from any Mass Effect 3 ending: Enable players to transfer their saved game regardless of which ME3 ending they chose (Destroy, Control, Synthesis, Refuse). This would honor their investment and emotional decisions. * Canonicalize the "Destroy" ending (with Shepard's survival) through additional content: * For players who import a save from the "Destroy" ending (under conditions where Shepard survives), the new game would unlock special dialogues, side quests, and deeper interactions related to Shepard's return and their romantic relationships. This would serve as a direct continuation of their story. * Explanation for Shepard's survival: This could be simply linked to the nanotechnology and enhancements Shepard received through Project Lazarus in Mass Effect 2. If Shepard survived such an ordeal, surviving the final explosion, supported by these enhancements, would make sense. * EDI's fate: Similarly, if the Normandy could be repaired (as suggested by the scene after the Destroy ending), EDI, as its integral digital component, could also be restored in some way, perhaps in a different form or requiring reactivation. Her deep connection to the ship could serve as a bridge. * For other endings: If a player imports a save from another ending (Control, Synthesis, Refuse), the new game could assume that Shepard did not physically survive and became a legend. Dialogues and the story in such cases would focus on Shepard's legacy and its repercussions, but without directly continuing their personal relationship storylines. Players would still be immersed in the world, but would be subtly motivated to try the Destroy ending if they wish to experience the "complete" narrative. I believe this approach would allow BioWare to continue Shepard's powerful story (as hinted by the teaser), while respecting the diversity of player choices and providing players with clear motivation. Thank you for your consideration! Sincerely, [Lapso123] A loyal Mass Effect fan❤️ [Thread moved from Mass Effect IT to Mass Effect EN.

Hey everyone, fellow Mass Effect fans! I've had an idea floating around in my head for a while now and I'd love to hear what you all think about it. It's about connecting the Mass Effect 3 endings with the new game and the potential return of Shepard. My thought is that BioWare could allow us to import our saves from ME3 with any ending, but the dialogue options related to romantic relationships and full Shepard continuity would only unlock if you chose the "Destroy" ending where Shepard survives. This could be explained by the nanotechnology from the Lazarus Project. What are your thoughts on this? Do you think it would help BioWare elegantly bridge the story and also respect player choices? Let me know in the comments. Thank you!
ME3 multiplayer randomly crashes
I bought ME3 a few months ago for the multiplayer. It's been a lot of fun - a very well-made game. However, I have an issue where the game randomly crashes with no warning. Here is a 15-second YouTube video showing how it goes down. https://youtu.be/db0zWS2X-54 I didn't post that video, but it is identical to the crashes I routinely get. I'm playing on an Asus laptop I bought last fall - it's basically brand new. I know many other people have this issue as well, as I found a Reddit thread about it (https://www.reddit.com/r/MECoOp/comments/18ysl2s/me3_mp_crashing/). I've tried the fixes some people have posted there, but to no avail. Here are a couple of crash dump files if anyone knows how to analyze them: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/fotur4rb10by3t2ujfbpp/MassEffect3.exe.17372.dmp?rlkey=xf3i966vc167ydbe6v8y2usbf&st=97f9zcyj&dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/3rpco2rejrvuf8y2e8wz5/MassEffect3.exe.20244.dmp?rlkey=2b64ahihuhkfaby348ove0qc5&st=opnf3xfb&dl=0 A few things I have noticed about my own experiences with this issue: Drone escort waves seem to dramatically increase the likelihood of a crash. When I host, it seems to crash very commonly in the first 60 seconds or so of wave 3. Having people in the game who are physically far away (i.e. in Europe) seems to increase the likelihood. The crashes seem to come in clusters. Some sessions I can play 5+ games with no issue, while other sessions I crash virtually every game. Does anyone know how to solve this?

Error online pass key is needed to play multiplayer. where i can find this i have no clue ive searched the EA app for it ive tried searching online how to get it, im running in to a brick wall here... i bought this game many years ago and when it was owned by Origin i was able to play online happily now since the change of ownership im unable to play online and i have extreme difficulty in finding a way to even purchase an online pass key so that i can play multiplayer. i know ill be told by people to troubleshoot the issue, beleive me i did this all to many times. i have fiber internet 300upload 300download and even whilst i right this im having two games running plus streams running on twitch , i have a very good computer i need to have one and good internet because im a streamer on twitch. so my computer or internet is not the issue.. the issue is finding a way to purchase the online pass key which i cant find anywhere. can i have someone tell me please. thanks in advance
N7 HQ cannot sync my account.
I played Mass Effect 3 multiplayer a lot when it released on the 360. Under the same account/gamertag but a different email connected to the EA Origins website. Last year I changed my gamertag/psn and email across all of my consoles, games, and accounts under one email, Just to make things easier for me. After I done that, I deleted all of my old emails. which I believe 1 was still connected to my first and only Mass Effect and EA Origins/Play account. I don't know if that is the reason N7 HQ cannot sync my ME3 Multiplayer data to my new email/gamertag or find it, but it more than likely is the reason. But if you all know a solution for this, please let me know. I want to play ME3 multiplayer again without starting over from the beginning. That is the last resort.
Mines barrier mission
Hi, i have a problem with Ps4 ME Legendary Mass Effect 3 Omega DLC mines mission. I get stuck after defeating waves of mechs while defending Aria. She just stands there with hands in barrier and nothing happens. I dont want to reinstall game, tried resetting mission, killing myself, loading saves and autosave and i dont know what to do anymore. Is there a patch or something to fix this? Thank youController Not Working - Mass Effect Legendary Edition Steam
System: PC Windows 10 Purchased on Steam Latest EA App Version 13.482.0.5995 I recently reinstalled Legendary Edition to replay the trilogy and no matter what I try I cannot get my controller to connect (I have PS5 and a generic xbox controller). I remember playing with controller just fine back in 2021 and the best I can find online is that this seems to be an ongoing issue with the EA App itself. I bought the game on steam, I have adjusted every possible controller setting on there. I have tried adding EADesktop as a non-steam game, and that does show the controller in the Legendary menu, but once I boot up ME1 it no longer shows any controller options. If anyone has any other work arounds to try that would be great!Mass effect legendary Edition wont launch on GFN
I previously had Xbox Game Pass and played Mass Effect Legendary Edition via GeForce Now. After my Game Pass subscription ended, I bought the game through Epic Games and linked it to my EA account. However, whenever I try to launch the game through GeForce Now, the EA app gives me this error: Failed to launch game. An error on our end caused the launch to fail. Try again a little later. I already tried deleting all my trusted devices from my EA account, but the issue still persists.What’s going on here? BF 2042 works fine.
