Mass Effect: Legendary Edition not only includes expanded options for players to represent themselves in Commander Shepard, but it also unifies the custom and default character designs, letting players keep the same appearance throughout the entire trilogy. One of the key new features in Mass Effect: Legendary Edition is its expanded character customization options that allow players to design the look of their unique Commander Shepard in more detail. Along with many visual, technical, and quality-of-life upgrades, major design emphasis was put on unification across the series, perhaps best exemplified by the new universal character creator.
