'If you jump straight into Mass Effect 3, you'll need to complete almost all of the content available if you're aiming for an ending that saves the most lives.' 'The Galactic Readiness scale has been rebalanced and now is solely influenced by the content you complete across the entire trilogy,' BioWare said in a note provided with review copies of Legendary Edition. To better balance all of that, BioWare has tweaked the weighting of various War Assets, while also ensuring you can still reach the best tier of Galactic Readiness even if you skip both ME1 and ME2, and only play ME3.īut be warned, BioWare has said - if you choose to only play ME3, it will require a thorough playthrough. It was also previously the case that your preparations for the finale - your Galactic Readiness - could be influenced by ME2's multiplayer mode, which is not part of the Legendary Edition.
It was always the case that players with saves from ME1 and ME2 would be recognised with things they may have done or collected in those games.
