The entire system has been rebalanced since there is now a limited amount of content you can complete, rather than infinitely grinding multiplayer matches. In the first two titles, there is no indication that you’re making progress, but upon arriving in Mass Effect 3, you’ll start off somewhat prepared. With the updated system your Galactic Readiness score increases as you play through the entire trilogy rather than being isolated to the final game. In Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, however, the cooperative component of the title has been removed and as a result, BioWare has had to change how the system works. Players of Mass Effect 2 before it were well aware of the consequences of finishing the game without being 100 percent certain everything was taken care of. A lot of your Galactic Readiness score comes from your multiplayer efforts and as a result, many grind it out before finishing the campaign.įailing to keep the score high enough results in the best ending being locked out. The campaign alone frequently isn’t enough to make sure Shepard is prepared for the final battles. Throughout the course of the game you have to prepare the universe’s efforts against the reaper threat. The original Mass Effect 3 release has a feature called Galaxy at War.
