While it's pretty typical for a third-person game to lack an FOV setting, it's a surprising omission here given that the remaster includes an excellent photo mode with an adjustable camera. It's not too surprising that these 15-year-old cutscenes weren't recreated in a wider aspect ratio, though.

It's annoying going from full screen to black-barred cutscenes.
I used to have an ultrawide, too, so I get it. I haven't tested this, but I think we can safely take the word of ultrawide owners, the PC's most vocal special interest group. "The ultrawide support doesn't include cutscenes, which are 16:9 with black bars." And obviously this is a non-issue if you bought Mass Effect Legendary Edition directly through Origin instead of on Steam, but that does make you slightly weird.) (If you have other EA games on Steam, you'll be used to this annoying little process. Once I did, it launched fine and Origin is not too intrusive: It automatically pops up when the game is launched and then hides in the taskbar. I'd forgotten all about installing the EA Desktop beta and had to find and kill the process in Task Manager. This is true, and it did cause a brief problem for me: On first launch, a prompt complained that I couldn't run EA Desktop and Origin at the same time. "The Steam version launches Origin in the background, which is annoying, and may require troubleshooting." Here's a paraphrasing of the primary complaints I've found in the negative user reviews so far, and what I've experienced playing the ME1 remaster myself. Granular design criticism is not the focus of the current Steam reviews, though. For example, you now have an accurate crosshair rather than a circle that loosely suggests where your bullets will go. Along with the graphical remaster, the combat has been modified to feel more like it does in Mass Effect 2 and 3, and some may be disappointed that the original's cantankerous RPG systems have been relaxed. Being the oldest, Mass Effect 1 has gotten the most attention. For $60, Mass Effect Legendary Edition is a 100GB package which contains remastered versions of Mass Effect 1, 2, and 3 (minus the multiplayer), and all the DLC (except Pinnacle Station).
