Granted, such palliative graphical measures can only go so far. To accompany all of these upgrades, players also have expanded options in the character creation menu, including better hair options for Black Shepards. I even found myself making note of the eyelashes, which no longer look like a small child scribbled on a character’s face with a black crayon. Skin tones are more varied and flush with depth, better approximating the faces of actual human beings. In some scenes, you can see some characters’ pores. “We really stayed true to everything that you would remember in your mind’s eye, like your nostalgia of the game had to be consistent,” said project director Mac Walters.

This way, he explained, the player can appreciate the vista, which makes the alien planet seem as if it’s in a perpetual sunset. During a hands-off remote presentation in January, environment and character director Kevin Meek said that in an early scene during the first game, the sun was moved entirely. Sometimes, when folks at BioWare explain what they’ve changed in the remastered Mass Effect trilogy, they almost sound like they’re playing god.
