Most of the changes will be found in Mass Effect. The announcement confirmed that there will be a new UI for people to use. People will also find mechanics will feel more in line with its sequels, with the camera and targeting systems among the adjusted features. Eden Prime, Feros, and Ilos will also feel different. All three places will be more fleshed out and detailed than they were in the original game.
