I've been following this for a while, always saying "I'll wait for the next version, I haven't done much in ME3 yet, and I've got Skyrim to work on".

I've just watched the new videos, and I'm blown away! It's amazing to think that just these two endings are far more meaningful and emotional than the four BioWare gave us combined. It adds real weight to the EMS system; work hard and win, at a cost, or fail, and lose everything.

I think it's time to finally finsih ME3 again, and this time, it'll be worthy of doing with my "proper" Shepard, which has taken years to get through ME1 and 2 (real life gets in my way a lot).

Things are on hold there for just a little bit. Everyone is dealing with real life right now. But we will get back on it ASAP! It's almost done

The reason I downloaded this mod was because of the E-mails. That really rocked!

Also, do you plan on adding people(like the ones that send you an e-mail) a War Asset?

Keep up the good work!

I'm gonna make this as quick as possible: ****ING THANK YOU!

The first time I saw the ending of this game, I cried and yelled since it was so upsetting and disheartening, it just ripped my soul out and drowned it.

This time I cried because the game finally had some closure. Sure, it's short but what you did is nothing less but epicly well executed and presented. Must've been a ridiculous amount of effort you put into there but I tell you it was worth it a thousand times.

Hands down, I outright love you for what you did. And I can't wait to see newer versions of this mod. Keep it up!

(Concerning the german translation/voices: Anyone willing to help me with that? I could do the Harbinger voice and some soldier lines by myself -if someone tells me how to manipulate it so I sound like an actual reaper. Or has someone else already done this and I haven't seen it? Also when this mod is done, I think I will contact the german voice actors and ask them if they could speak these few lines for me. Shouldn't be that expensive, if they even charge money. Yeah I'm a bit too optimistic right now. And I owe it all to you Fob&the entire team who worked on this.)

THANK YOU!

Nice mod. Thanks for your effort. Out of curiosity, how hard would it be to have a version that only gives you an email describing how to use the crucible, and then just plain skipping the conversion with the starkid, leaving you with the choice of endings? Same everything else with the EC.

Just watched the v0.4 high EMS on youtube, gave me the chills.
What an ending !
Awesome work. I'm going to instal this mod on my next playthrough; it looks like it will be the epicness my Shep deserved from the start, period !

When it comes to making a Harbinger voice, just download Audacity and toy with the bass.
Regarding converting MEHEM to German, it is the plan to make MEHEM multilingual once MEHEM is considered "finished"

Mr Fob, I'm not sure what I can add that hasnt already been said, but Well Done! A sterling Mod that gives fans the choice for the ending they wanted to see.

Just finished the v0.4 with my femshep. This MEHEM is MASSIVE work! Really well done and massive props to the whole MEHEM team! And thanks for giving options regarding the music (no disrespect in any way to you ShotgunJulia).
I was really impressed by the new material. A little laggy at few times but still, wow! What a work!
Got goosbumps a few times. I really hope you guys get some kind of recognition from official channels at one point or another, or at the very least MrFob.

Thanks a bunch for the mod! Will try out the Citadel Epilogue mod as well soon.
Massively impressive, really!

I had an opportunity to get the ME series for pretty cheap on PC. One of the features to ultimately convinced me was this mod. I've read about it for a while, and after playing through, it was a very nice touch. I tip my hat to everyone that has contributed. It was very nice to see.

The e-mails received during the course of the game were interesting to read, I'll say that. I'm looking forward to my next playthrough to see how different it can be.

Thanks a ton for doing this work. It is much appreciated.

1: Outta curiosity has anybody made any progress regarding a MEHEM for xbox 360?
2: Anybody know of a none-shady host I can find for my Tali Picture mod? Since BSN is gonna get rid of all the mods soon... (how is this "listening to fans" or an "improvement"?!)
3: Also, slightly off topic but still relevant. So I was trying to respond to MEHEM related comments/questions on my Youtube channel aaannnd... guess what? Youtube prevents me (and it seems other people) from responding to comments on their own channel. Any way to remedy this?

2. I use 4shared.com and have used mediafire.com as well. Mediafire seems pretty popular. I only switched because my mod got over 200MB for the free account (at the time anyway.)
3. That is pretty weird. If nobody else answers I'll take a look at my own channel and see what might be up. Happens on various browsers?

As a side note, from what I saw, they didn't talk at all about projects on Nov 20th when they said they changed other stuff. So, not sure what they'll do. It doesn't really bother me because we can still make our posts in the fan creations area and just need to link out to external sites.

Yeah, that's why I wasn't too busted over the changes Bioware announced for BSN...it doesn't affect the availability of my mods one bit.  Or any others that are hosted on Mediafire or other similar sites.  In any case, I've been downloading all the mods I'm interested in (here and other threads) just in case something else changes.

I remember that you were looking at something for Xbox users, and being able to experience MEHEM. We too looked at the "possibility" of something for the Xbox, regarding the ThaneMOD, but we just didn't see anyway to implement properly, or without potentially breaking TOS and/or bricking peoples saves. So now, we are adding an area on our website, that will have a way for Xbox users to "view" content that would fit with their play throughs. Would include text content and videos.

For now, I would suggest setting up a project page here, for your Tali Photo mod. Even if they eventually stop allowing for new edits, and new projects added, it seems to be that they will keep those Projects that have downloadable content, available. At least for some period of time.

Deager's suggestions are good options as well, till a site like Nexus, opens up their general game area.

As for the YT stuff, I have no idea.

you guys did an amazing job with this one! can't wait to try it! small question, given the limitations of the engine, is it too difficult to make the Jack/Miranda model appear in the plaque scene? so they can hug Shepard instead of Liara/Ash. I'm assuming this must be very difficult to implement, the slide works excellent anyway!

I believe they said the problems are twofold:  First that their models don't exist for the Normandy scene.  Also, there are only a imited number of spots to put people.  Adding someone would mean taking someone else out.  That's why Javik doesn't appear in the scene (since Shepard is added to it)

Hello everyone and thanks for all the great comments on the last few pages. I apologise for my absence but I had to take a little trip and didn't have time to post here much. Now I am back and the plan is to finally finish up a couple of project I had to keep lying around longer than planned (namely Harby and my part of the Thane mod).
Ok, going to answer a few posts from as far as 2 pages back (cause I said I would :)).

@MacBlade223: That other sound clip from Shepard sounds interesting. It's great if you guys come up with alternatives because I didn't g through all the sound files of the trilogy ('cause that would just be a bit too much). I'll try it out in context and see how well it works. Thanks!
Also glad you enjoyed the emails.
As for your brothers suggestion, there has been a separate thread about this quite recently and I replied there as well. Two issues here: First, I am not sure these short messages would really fit as emails (they are a bit different in tone, etc., more casual, not like the usual emails) and more importantly, this would not be easy. One would need to figure out the plot variables for each message and than implement them. Would be a lot of work for something that IMO might be more disruptive than immersive in the end. So sorry, no plans in that direction.

@thatdude & Getorex: I think usually you wouldn't walk around with the OR. I had one that was made for scientific applications, not gaming, so it was not the standard model (didn't get to shoot anything wither, just walk around and fall off a cliff :)). I also walked into a table during the demonstration so I while it's cool, I don't think it would be suitable without a specialised environment. But should really stop talking about it in this thread. We can make an Off topic thread about it to continue the conversation.

@Zan51: Don't want to speak too much for Julia but yes, this was her own original composition.

@cfs3corsair & Greetsme & Ryzaki & others: I posted the emails on the ME3Explorer forums, here. Obvious spoiler warning is obvious.

@M920CAIN: I noticed these blue artefacts too ate to get rid of them and I am not sure if I can. From what I can tell, they are an artefact of the fraps recordings, not the bink movies. The reason I think that is because in my youtube videos, you can sometimes see them during in game scenes as well (e.g. in the low ems video when we see Liara's hologram in the time capsule bunker. That's an in game scene, not a bink video. I'll see if I can do something about them in v0.5.

@Hyrule_Gal: Ha, I never noticed that. Not sure if I can fix it. I did make sure Garrus has his own face animations during that scene (from v0.2 onwards). If I can find where these weird eye animations are coming from, I'll fix it but I can't promise anything at this point. Thanks for letting me know though.

@creapsmantic: As I said, I just got back, expect updates on Harby soon.

@MegaIllusiveMan: Never tried that but I think the people working on the Thane mod figured out how to add war assets. If it works, It might be a fun thing to do for v0.5. Thanks for the suggestion!

@TheUndying: I have started to write up a tutorial for translations. I'll need some help to get this done from people who have the game in that language and have a firm grasp of English (ideally have played the trilogy in English at least once). Writing this tutorial got more complicated than I thought though, which is why it's not finished yet. As soon as I got it, I'll let everyone know, so that translation work can begin. Since I am originally from Germany as well, I am also eager to get a German version out there. :)

@TheUndying & cfs3corsair: I think getting the audio filter just right is actually pretty hard (I have done my share of audio manipulations for sound effects, radio effects and also for the voices in MEEM). However, I know the CommandBenX has done a very impressive job on this very subject. When he wants to talk like Harby, you can't distinguish him from the real deal.

@Andrew_S: You mean without rescuing Shepard? Hmmmm, shouldn't be too hard actually, all you need to do is to skip the conversation with the catalyst and keep everything else the same.

@cfs3corsair 2: XBox issue: I don't have one so I can't really be of help in this regard. I only knew of Exeider's attempts which apparently didn't work out. Interesting to see you guys tried as well coldwetn0se. Yea, I think this is just not going to happen any time soon.
As for hosters, there are plenty out there but BW has confirmed that they suspended the plans to phase out project, due to all the feedback (see here. So I think for now, you are ok. Still, might be good to have another mirror. As long as you have a file under 400 MB of size, most hosters will be ok.
Youtube: Still works for me. Maybe a different problem?

@symbiotics: Iakus described the problem perfectly. Adding models hasn't really worked very well for this scene yet and even if we could, the fact that we are editing DLC here is causing further problems. Just on the side, I just saw Miranda's LI goodbye scene in London (the one with the hologram communicator) and I think at least for her, the final scene works really well actually. She says she'll wait for you after the battle and Shep promises to be there. That's exactly what happens now in MEHEM, especially in v0.4 where we see the Normandy moving. :)


So yea, sorry for the huge post.
Oh, by the way, so no one found the secret yet. Maybe we hid it too well. We might make it a bit easier to find in v0.5 if it hasn't been uncovered until then.

thanks for the reply! Yeah I figured it would be difficult, but seeing the Jack version of 0.4 I can't wait to try my save with a Miranda LI btw have you thought of testing Faunt's Das Malefitz for the ending credits? sounds pretty similar to M4 i would be a nice connection to ME1 www.youtube.com/watch

I do have a question regarding some of the emails I received. Some of the emails I got weren't the 'story' ones (I didn't get an email from Captain Fob even though it was a brand new game), but I did get messages that were lines from the Starchild dialogue. It was kind of interesting to see those pop up...and confusing.

You mean just simple lines of dialogue that occurs when you talk to the starbrat? Nothing else?

So just a quick update on the youtube thing
If anyone could confirm this that would be great, but it seems that with the google +/youtube integration, unless the people who post comments on your video have rather public privacy settings, you cannot reply to that person even if its posted under your video. Though I can still respond to all comments on theME3EM's channel so...
Contradictions :/

@symbiotics: I am very happy with Maluka's credits song Reignite, so I never tried anything else. If you want to give it a shot, there is a music exchange tutorial on the ME3Explorer forums but it requires a bit of fiddling with the files.

@Ryzaki: No problem. It's all frypan's work though. :)

@Michotic: The Cpt. Fob email is bugged and I think it doesn't show up for anyone at this point. Something to fix for v0.5. If for the others, you see lines of the star kid conversation, than that means you have a problem with the install (one of the files did not get replaced correctly). I used the space in the tlk file, where you'd usually find the star kid conversation subtitles to put the new emails there. Are you running MEHEM with other mods (e.g. MOAM)? If you use another mod that changes the BioGame.tlk and you installed that other mod after MEHEM, that will cause the problem. If you use MOAM (Mother Of All Mods), you can use this fix, courtesy of Blad3Zer0. Hope that helps.

@cfs3corsair:I just replied to someone on my own channel, whom I don't know at all. no problem. I have no idea about google plus privacy settings or anything like that. I just always click "yes" when one of those pesky messages shows up, never been to the settings page at all. So sorry, don't know much about their system but with settings as default as they get, it works for me.

No other mods, but I had already found the issue. I updated ME3 after I installed MEHEM. It was entertaining to read though. For a bit, I thought you guys were trying for the IT theory.
