📋 About This Mod
I've been using this reshade with a lot of edits and tweaks across DA:I, ME:A and now the ME: Trilogy. For ME I prefer to lean on the more well known cinematic colors for my shots, while also really kicking up the vibrancy.
Notes:
- I believe this re-shade works with the current version, though Ive been installing with 4. 9. 1
- Reshade makes use of the Legacy presets (I didn't need much more)
The images on this page are from LE1, LE2 and LE3, having had some requests for my shader I thought I'd share!

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 269 endorsements and over 5,600 downloads

⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021 — may not be compatible with the latest game patches or Reshade versions
- Requires Reshade to be installed separately, which adds an extra step
For Mass Effect players who want a cinematic, film-inspired color palette without overhauling the entire look. If you're tired of the default brass-heavy tones and want a blue-orange contrast, this is for you. Skip if you prefer the original color grading or want more dramatic visual changes.
