Yea, MEHEM is not for everyone (or for every play through either). I haven't seen these movies, seen the forum threads about them but I am playing the game right now, so I get my ME fix straight up. :)

 

Great kudos just for the effort though. I just made a little 5 min tribute video for ME1 once and that took me forever to get together. Can't imagine how much time and effort it would take to make a feature length movie out if this.

 

 

The 2 guys (so far) who have done it put in a lot of work.  Must have recorded one or more entire play-throughs to get the vids they used (though cut scenes are available in bulk on youtube).  I use the vids in trying to get a family member interested in the game. 

 

I didn't care for the LI choices either but I give kudos to both for picking Ashley over Kaiden on Virmire :-).  One of the versions for ME3 uses destroy ending (not sure which at this point) and makes it a little different from original in some way - I'll see if/when I get there.  MOST of the combat is cut out (not a bad choice) but I think they needed to keep some in to get the right flavor of the game and the threat.  Not seeking to drift this thread off-topic so I'll leave it at this:  my own choice would have been to keep a handful of fights in the vid, for instance, on Mars (the first one where you come across Cerberus executing a few prisoners, the out-gassed room with all the dead in it, plus the fight afterwards, perhaps one more.  The vids make it seem like there very little obstacles to get to the endpoint of a given mission. 

 

As for the games, I have restarted an ME1 play-through with intent to slog through the whole series again at a somewhat leisure pace - and definitely need to get your latest MEHEM installed. Also really need to try and finish a couple other mesh mods I've had sitting idle for a while (reskinning/re-hairing EDI, changing Allers to someone totally different and more pleasant to look at).

@Getorex

Although a little off topic as well, I'll roll this back. I just finished a "complete" run where I read every codex entry, listened to them all, read every planet description, did every quest I could, etc. It was really fun. The reason this rolls back is that I haven't used MEHEM in a while now. And while I'm going to experience the pain of LIME - The Cycle Continues, this should be me in such a sour state I'll immediately start another trilogy run and this time, MEHEM gets the nod. Although, I wonder if v0.6 will add any new tricks or not. No need to answer Fob; keep those Easter Eggs to yourself. ;)

Frankly, I'm surprised that MrFob is still actively working this mod. At this stage of the game I would think it's in maintenance mode, just fixing stray bugs when/if they appear. The game is "old" by modern standards, MEHEM seems pretty stable and mature now. What is left? Kudos for still being there and still slogging on MrFob, don't get me wrong, I'm just surprised is all.

Weeeeell, to be honest, I haven't really been actively working on the mod for a long time. I still have ideas on what can (and needs to) be done but some of it is very tedious stuff and I am a lazy bastard have a lot of other stuff going on in real life at the moment. ;)

 

I definitely still want to make v0.6, which will mainly be concerned with improving the mod for other languages. So if you are an English speaker, don't expect any great changes. I just need that really care-free time to get around and concentrate on doing it and it hasn't come along in a while.

 

After that, I still have some more ambitious ideas of what could be done but I am honestly not sure if I'll ever get around to implement those, so no promises there.

Ah!  Ok, then after 0.6 perhaps you should just rename it v1.0.  IF any tweaks or changes come after that they should be 1.x territory.  This thing isn't beta anymore.

I'm glad I checked this thread before wasting time with a PM or something else. Looks like MEHEM v0.5 will be just fine then. I gotta wash LIME - The Cycle Continues from my mind at some point here.

My objections to the MEHEM in a nutshell:

https://www.youtube....h?v=GhiOAFE64M4

 

Seriously, the EC endings are fine (Except Destroy and Refusal, those are monstrous decisions I can't see even the most Renegade Shepard take) and I don't understand why this is considered a "better" ending by most people.

Eh, simply a matter of viewpoint. Read this (although it is lonnnnng.) I know my beefs are with a lot of things going on so by the time I get to the end I've had enough. That said, I've been known to dabble in quite dark endings. ;)

 

The reality is, most people are in your camp, Xisuthros. The vocal ones are in MEHEM's camp. Kind of like Femshep lovers talking all the time even though 80% of players went Broshep. Factoring in the number of MEHEM downloads compared to the number of game sales and it's a lowish percentage of users. Granted, it's high enough to notice.

 

Bioware definitely looked at the aftermath of Mass Effect, and the Extended Cut, and still had to offer up the Citadel DLC. It's no wonder that Dragon Age: Inquisition, which I quite enjoyed, seemed to take a safer route.

Which is why I prefer John P's version. It keeps the Extended Cut endings substantially intact but makes High EMS Destroy the 'everybody lives!" ending.

Essentially it adds an ending option that should have been in the game from the very beginning.

I know Fob is around in general...I'm starting to wonder if some big surprise release is coming. He was in the midst of a play through with MEHEM v0.5 recently to look the mod over to, I thought, think about anything else to change and then get on with v0.6 for the German fans. Obviously we need his answer to this but even though it's been a long time I gather it's still his plan to do v0.6 with at least English and German support. Hopefully we'll read some real news soon.

i`ve got a little (and maybe stupid) question: i`m using this awesome mod for my current playthrough and now, origins want to do an update (not for the game but for the client itself). the instruction for the mehemmod is sayin that updates will harm/crush the mod-function..does this "warning" only count for gameupdates or also for originclient-updates?

(sorry for my english..hope question is clear)

 

thank you!

Origin client updates are fine. As long as "Automatically keep my games up to date" is unchecked, you're safe.

I just installed MEHEM as I intended to play ME3 and then I realised I forgot to get the Omega DLC. Should I uninstall MEHEM to pop in the DLC ?

 

P.S. I also want to get the CEM mod but the instructions are confusing. What is MEHEM v.5 transition to CEM full installer? I already have the mehem v.5, separately.  Is mehem packaged with it? Or does it mean it's another mehem v5 that works with cem?

As long as you do not use texture mods, you can just install any mod and any DLC in any order. So installing Omega after MEHEM is no problem. The worst thing that can happen is that an update of ME3 may mess with the DLC patcher that you need for DLC mods. You can then just uninstall and immediatly re-installl MEHEM v0.5 and it will solve the problem.

 

CEM is a mod that is completely separate from MEHEM, so you will need to download and install it separately. You will also need the MEHEMv0.5 t0 CEM transition, which is technically a third mod. The reason for this is that Deager (the author of CEM) provided transition, so that people can play the Citadel DLC as an epilogue, no matter which ending mod they use.

 

So if you want to to play the game with MEHEM and CEM, you need the following three mods installed:

- MEHEM v0.5

- CEM (Full or Lite, depending on what you want)

- MEHEMv0.5 to CEM (the installer for this one can also be found on the Nexus page for CEM)

 

The order in which you install them doesn't matter by the way.

Sorry if this is a bit confusing but it's the only way to provide maximum customization options for the most broad variety of tastes. In the end, it should be as easy as just running those three installers though. Hope that clears things up.

 

@Glutzahn: Sorry, just saw your comment. Ok, quick update on progress. So just a few weeks ago, I finally figured out how to add completely new dialogue to the game. This is great because it allows me to finally implement voice in the mod as real dialogue (not just sounds that come with the video). This was kinda the Rosettastone that was missing to make true multilingual versions. For now, I have been testing this functionality with the English version and I hit a few bumps but nothing too serious. I'll be on vacation and traveling for the next 3 weeks but when I come back, I plan to implement the German version of this (which is an extra file). The bad news is, this is pretty tedious work and takes some time. The good news is, once done, we'll be able to package MEHEM into one single package, that will simply support languages according to your in game settings (subtitles and all), whatever they may be, no hassle, no different version, no nothing. So sorry again for an even further delay but keep an eye out for updates, hopefully around the end of June, beginning of July.

@Mr Fob, thanks! That clears up the murky waters. :D

 

I don't use texture mods. I uninstalled mehem v5, just in case, last night and popped in Omega. So I will follow the steps you listed out above. Thanks again. :D

I want to play the original ME3 ending again, but I only get the MEHEM ending when I play. I have already uninstalled MEHEM using the uninstaller that was on v0.4, but still no original ending. Any ideas?

I'm not positive. Is it possible that MEHEM v0.5 was installed? Look in your DLC folder %mass effect 3 install directory%\BIOGame\DLC and make sure that DLC_CON_MEHEM isn't there. If so, you can delete it or double check in the root of %mass effect 3 install directory% for UNinstall_MEHEM_doNOTdeleteORremove and double click that to uninstall v0.5.

 

For v0.4, if the uninstall didn't work, then I'd say run a repair through Origin of the Extended Cut which should get that returned to normal.

I finished a ME3 PT and I'm delighted with the MEHEM and CEM mods. They work great! And I felt good after finishing the PT.

 

I just did a ME2 PT with the resolutions I wanted and going for another ME3 round. Is there a mod to remove the stupid dreams? If so, does it conflict with the two mods?
