Although now up to a "very positive" rating, the Steam release of "Mass Effect Legendary Edition" received mixed user reviews. Among the complaints were the lack of a viewing angle slider and a narrow FOV of 70. However, modders have already come to the rescue, with JadeBarker uploading a "Better Camera (Higher FOV)" the day the "Mass Effect Legendary Edition" section of NexusMods opened.

Anyone who modded the original game knows that Coalesced.bin is a file in the BioGameCookedPCConsole directory that needs to be replaced for most mods to work. Make sure you back it up first, and once you have replaced it with your version of the mod, you can press F10 in-game to push the FOV to the position you find most comfortable. one problem with changing the FOV is that the second level of zoom on Mako's cannon (accessed by pressing ctrl ) may not work. You can't have it all.

BioWare is familiar with the Mass Effect mod scene and used mods as a benchmark for improvements in the Legendary Edition.
