About this mod

This reshade tries to portrait the lighting and the feel of old school sci-fi movies from the 80s, (Blade Runner, Alien, Star wars), the lighting will look significantly different than in the vanilla version

Mass Effect LE despite an interesting release had a major flaw, the game was still based in the old Unreal 3 engine, this days an outdated platform that lacks some lighting features of other more recent engines.

I wanted this game to feel like an old sci-fi movie, for that purpose i created this reshade, that focus in getting the same kind of look of iconic late 70s early 80s sci-fi movies.

For that purpose, and because one of the weakest points of the LE vanilla is the lighting i made an effort to change significantly...
not only increasing the contrast, as well as enhancing the reflections and exposure of the objects.

Chromatic Aberation fuses the corners of the image slightly trying to icnrease the sense of depth as well as a desaturation and filmicpass filters help
to make the game enter in the type of look i remember from old sci-fi movies.

This mod is playable at decent frame-rates, since the game it self is not very demanding for modern tittles.

Anyone with 5 year(at least) old card should be cappable of playing this game without major problems even with the reshade.

- Installation Notes:

For the reshade to work inside the LE package, you need to paste the files inside of the 3 games of the trillogy
ME1, ME2, ME3, 

Despite the game is launched in other folder, for the reshade to work the files must be placed in a path as the example follows:

"Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Game\ME1\Binaries\Win64"
"Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Game\ME2\Binaries\Win64"
"Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Game\ME3\Binaries\Win64"

This reshade will tax your framerate, so if you have 100 FPS in the vanilla, probably will drop to 60/70 or less, depending on how good your GPU is
but the result and immersion you get is considerably worth it by comparison with the Vanilla.
