A new mod created by a Mass Effect: Legendary Edition player lets players play in first-person. This mod supports both combat and exploration with proper adjustments to adapt Mass Effect's gameplay to first-person.
Mass Effect: Legendary Edition brings back the Commander Shepard trilogy of games, letting players experience the Mass Effect franchise at its peak with a plethora of advancements and upgrades across all three entries. In it, players take control of a soldier tasked with uniting the galactic forces against the Reapers.
Some players might be happy to know that this illustrious RPG collection can be played from a closer perspective that will let them gawk at the improved visuals. A modder known as Aphar has made a first-person mod that lets players experience the Mass Effect trilogy from a first-person perspective. The mod also brings several adjustments to both combat and exploration, allowing for players to intuitively adapt to the first-person view without much of an issue. This also makes corner peeking/shooting more important than before, as the adjustments to the combat cameras include a newly implemented dynamic lean feature.
It's worth pointing out that there are a few disadvantages to the Mass Effect: Legendary Edition mod. For example, Shepard's hands and gun will not appear from this perspective. There are other tweaks that have been made to the game to adapt to the first-person camera, such as movement that feels more responsive in Exploration mode. Furthermore, the turn speed for sprinting was increased and sprinting in combat will come with camera wobble to bring a more immersive effect. Finally, it's recommended to have mods such as No ESP and an unlimited sprint mod to have the best FPS experience possible in Mass Effect: Legendary Edition.
Players will be happy to know that the mod also doesn't mess with the experience of watching cutscenes. Elevator rides will also be available in first-person, meaning that players will be able to interact with their companions from a different perspective. This will make the famed Commander Shepard saga in Mass Effect: Legendary Edition a more memorable experience for players who wish to look at all the visual improvements this new versions of the game brings.
Mass Effect: Legendary Edition is available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
