So, in 2018, Scottina123 released a mod called “ No More Butt Shots” that removed the gratuitous butt shots from that conversation. Not everyone liked the exaggerated fan service. As the two realize the seriousness of their life-or-death predicament, the camera focuses primarily on Miranda’s ass. Perhaps the most well-known case happens in Mass Effect 2 when Miranda Lawson has a conversation with Commander Shepard about rescuing her family. Even then, folks noticed that there were more than a few scenes where the camera fixated on the butts of some characters. Mass Effect’s original trilogy launched in 2007, 2010, and 2012. In the development of Legendary Edition, BioWare’s developers subtly acknowledged some of their questionable camera choices in the original games and changed the scenes for the remastered release.
Scottina123, whose mod published last winter discreetly removed all the close-up shots of Miranda’s butt from the original Mass Effect series, now offers a mod that puts all the butt shots back into Mass Effect Legendary Edition. It’s a comedic twist that has brought a long-running video game drama full circle. The modder who took out the gratuitous butt shots from Mass Effect 2 and 3 has now put them back in.
