Heat just for those links - always wanted to play the trilogy on PC but was put off having to faff about with getting a controller to work. Thanks :smiley:

I have just spent the last week replaying the trilogy (currently on ME3) on PC with the HD texture packs and the controller support in 4K and it is a thing of beauty.
These are still great games and this is well worth £1.99, as for the DLC Bring down the Sky is free here and is really the only DLC from the first game worth playing anyway.
Just an FYI my steam code does not work on Origin saying it is invalid but I didn't really care.

Thanks. It will probably be a little while before I even make it on to 2 but any mods you recommend?
Again the last one is a bit of a cheat which doubles the war effort score so that you don't need to do the multi-player or iOS stuff to get the galaxy ready for war (without this you get 50% removed from your readiness score) I had to manually make the changes to the coalesced.bin file as the controller mod changes this file as well.
Opening post
Someone made a controller mod for this so I thought I'd pick it up to try it out in 4k ahead of the Andromeda release.
HD texture mod(it's huge! 4.3gb texture upgrade for a 7.7gb game)

The ones I've seen are:
Mass Effect 2
texture mod
controller mod
shorter loading screen animations
Mass Effect 3
controller mod
but me3 has multiple texture mods...

Well worth buying
ME1Controller
Mass Effect Updated/Improved Textures Mod (MEUITM)
Faster Elevators
No Intro Videos Fix
Quick Startup
For ME2 I used:
A Lot Of Textures (ALOT) for ME2
Shorter loadings (animated - new version)
Quick Startup
ME2Controller
Increased Maximum Fuel and Probes
No MiniGames
The last two are kind of cheaty but as I have played the game about a dozen times before I was fine with less of the grind.
As for ME3 I am using:
A Lot Of Textures (ALOT) for ME3
SinglePlayer Native Controller Support Mod
Interface Scaling Add-On
Press Start Screen Remover
higher military strength
