One caveat to same-sex relationships in the Mass Effect trilogy is the alien races. RELATED: Is Mass Effect Legendary Edition Coming to PS5/Xbox Series X? Interestingly, though Kaiden Alenko was only romanceable with a female Shepard in Mass Effect 1, he can be romanced by both male and female Shepards in Mass Effect 3. For example, Ashley Williams is only romanceable as male Shepard in the Mass Effect series, and this will stay consistent with the Legendary Edition remasters. However, BioWare didn't make changes or additions to romantic options, so sexualities haven't changed. Same-sex relationships are possible throughout Mass Effect: Legendary Edition.
So, many fans might be expecting Mass Effect: Legendary Edition to allow for more same-sex relationships. However, some changes were made, such as an overhaul of Mass Effect 1's gameplay, as well as more minor adjustments like camera angles during a certain Miranda scene in Mass Effect 2. Rather than doing a remake of the epic trilogy, BioWare opted to remaster the Mass Effect games into Mass Effect: Legendary Edition in order to preserve the nostalgia from the original games.
