A huge ìThank you!î goes to the people who offered support and suggestions on BSN and youtube. Without you, this project would have ended at v0.1.



Another huge Thanks goes to Epic Games and Audiokinetic for providing their tools for free for non-commercial use.



And of course, the most important and heartfelt "Thank You!" goes to the folks at BioWare who created the most awesome (in the literary sense of the word) universe, not in gaming but in all fields of entertainment as far as I am concerned. And although many of us were not happy with how it ended, it must be said that Mass Effect as a whole is and remains a masterpiece. Thanks for making it!

MEHEM is a reinterpretation of the endings of Mass Effect 3, which allows Commander Shepard to survive the final mission, among many other changes. It features custom videos and slides, re-engineered gameflow, original as well as re-arranged voice acting, new music, etc.



What does MEHEM do in detail (obvious spoiler warning)?

- It removes the catalyst scene. No ifs, not buts. It's gone for good. (So is your choice, you will now destroy the reapers no matter what)

- It introduces a whole new scene showing how Joker disobeys orders and keeps the Normandy in the fight long enough for Shepard to be rescued (with the help of a certain Alliance captain :))

- The Normandy no longer crash-lands on the Weirdo Planet

- The Geth and EDI survive. EDI is now present during the memorial and new slides were added to the epilogue that will show the geth, if they are alive.

- The epilogue slides now show survivors on the Citadel, most prominently Aria and Cpt. Baley.

- You will see your Shepard reunited with his crew (and even some interaction unique to your LI if the LI is part of the Normandy crew). While they don't exactly have a party, now it is a real bitter-sweet ending with the emphasis on "sweet" rather than on "bitter"

- The musical score is changed quite extensively, including the credits song

- Since by the time of v0.3, quite a few people have contributed to this mod, I implemented some MEHEM credits in the stargazer scene.

- Since v0.2, Harbinger will say a few lines during the beam run





NOTES ON INSTALLATION:

- See the included Readme for full details.

- You must have BioWare's Extended Cut (EC) installed.

- You can install the mod whenever you like but you need a save game where the Extended Cut was already installed by the time you started the Cerberus HQ mission. So you should only run into savegame related trouble if you use a very old pre-EC save from Cerberus HQ or London.

- One more thing: Before you install MEHEM (or any mod), make sure you turn Origin's auto update setting off. Otherwise, Origin tends to overwrite modded game files with the originals without asking. If that happened, uninstall the mod, repair the game and the DLCs (especially the EC and Leviathan), update your game once to make sure it's the latest version, turn auto-update off and then install

- If you wish to revert to the original ME3 endings, you can simply uninstall MEHEM v0.5 via windows control panel, as you would for any other piece of software.

- The mod is now a DLC

- JohnP's additional LI mod is implemented (Jack/Miranda will be in the memorial scene if romanced)

Fixes:

- Most problems with the installer should be a thing of the past, since MEHEM is now a DLC

- NG+ not working after playing through MEHEM is fixed

- Subtitles (speaker names) are fixed

- Video timing has been slightly adjusted

- Emails are corrected for spelling/grammar (thnaks to RPGenius and giftfish)

- Cpt. Fob's email now triggers properly

- If you want to combine MEHEM with JohnP's extended Anderson conversation mod, the music fix is no longer necessary

- Upon installation of MEHEM v0.4, you can now choose between the old v0.3 soundtrack and an entirely new and original soundtrack, composed and provided by sH0tgUn jUliA

- The slides for Miranda and Jack will now show during the epilogue, with Miranda having a new slide
