It's Dec 2024 and I ran into a sale for Mass Effect 1, 2, & 3 all in a new remastered package. I never played Mass Effect before so I thought I'd check it out, but I'm using an older PC so it didn't look like it would run well. I went ahead and got Mass Effect 1. It was about $4.50 (the whole remastered package was the same price) and so far it's been a lot of fun. I'll definitely be finishing the game, at least once, and would recommend it as a great bargain.

I'm gonna have to downvote this game. Because by now it aged badly. lol

Trying to replay it to get another save game for the series, I found out the game isn't able to reach current day resolutions, so I'm forced to play this in a tiny window.
I suppose there's a mod for this somewhere.

It also seems to have a memory leak, or rather, can't seem to allocate the memory it requires, and crashes often due to that. This can be worked around with a program called "Large Address Aware", but obviously it seems this game is just old and done with for the devs since issues like these weren't patched.

So in terms of functionality, I guess it's just better to buy the Legendary edition, since it's released more recently and more likely to work properly on a modern PC.
