Really great mod. I am actually ok with the EC ending. But the thought of Shep reuniting with his LI (Ash, in my case) was just too overwhelming. Can't wait to give it a try.

I know you must have put alot of effort into this (knowing that editing 7 minutes in Movie Maker is torture and takes 10 hours +). Thanks alot.

One little reccomendation. I know that the Suicide Mission soundtrack fits well in the ending scene, but I think An End, Once and For All would go even better. Is it alot of work to change the soundtrack?

Might be possible if the console is modded, but still way more complicated to do than on PC

Well, what can I say, that is astonishing OP. Congratulations! I have a question. Is it possible to add EDI to the destroy memorial scene? She appears in a specific place so any other crew member would be untouched. And is it possible to photoshop Geth slide (remove a Reaper) from Control and put it into Destroy ending? Krogans have a lot of slides in that ending so we can replace one. I don't mind everything else. How hard could it be?

EDIT: Instead of EDI you could put Emily Wong plaque on the memory wall.


Putting EDI into that scene is impossible because she is the one who gets replaced by your LI/best friend here. This is actually the green memorial scene rahter than the red one.
However, I plan to try an update where she might possibly appear under certain circumstances.

And sorry about EDI on the memorial wall, I didn't realise she would be there. I think I can take her out though without too much trouble.
Putting Emily Wong on the wall was something that I already thought about doing myself. In fact, I wanted to put "@Emily Wong" on the wall, just to spite BioWare a bit :D.
Maybe I'll do it an update for it at some point but bugfixing comes first.

Wow. I hadn't come visiting in a while and I find this. Exactly what I knew some smart people could do. We can ignore that EDIs name is on the board given the restrictions of how this mod has to be put together. She's obviously flying around in the shuttle at one point.

If only Bioware had put the same effort into their precious endings as this. This is truly epic and makes me want to play again. I can even recommend ME3 with the caveat that THIS mod be installed with it.

For the guy who doesnt' like it because it isn't from Bioware. Well Bioware isn't going to make any changes. They have said so over and over. They only gave us the extended cut reluctantly. This is about as good as you are going to get unless you wanted the original endings, in which case, by all means don't get this mod.

That is the original track right? It would even be less work because I wouldn't have to change anything (the music is playing through the game itself, not the videos) but I tried that and believe me, it does not fit any more. It fits well when Shepard is dying and everything is rather mournful and sombre but now, we have an action scene and space battles and a lossless win. I do love the ME3 soundtrack but it just didn't go well with the scenes any more.

Hey OP, apologies if this has been brought up already, but on part 2 of the video, you mention removing EDI and Legion's names from the memorial wall. While EDI's name should be removed Legion's should stay, he dies before the ending, would break continuity.

(For my own reasons though, I'll be sticking to the original endings.)

OOI, how long did it take to get that reunion scene working? I appreciated the gratuitous Latin. And btw, the Control ending does briefly use Shepard in his armor - you might be able to get a working non-wounded model from that.


That is a brilliant idea. I totally forgot about that! Thank you very much. I'll have to check out what exactly they did there and see if I can use it for my purposes. Cheers mate!


No problem, happy to help. :) Don't burn too many more barrels of midnight oil though...

Excellent work, sir. I'm more of a fan of thought-provoking endings than conventional ones, and I really appreciate that aspect of BioWare's conclusion, but I'm sure this one will be greatly appreciated from the fans since it's very satisfying---and resourceful. Kudos.

That would be even harder. The levels consist of multiple files that interact with each other in a very specific way.


Would this same complex interactions prevent the placing of an alternative ...bik I think the format is called... video in place of one of the originals?

I confess I have zero progamming experience but I'm thinking- yes, yes it would. I imagine there would be file size verification amother other checks but I'd like outside, apparently borderline proffesional confirmation.

Oh, and I'm throwing my hat in with the majority here- Holy Frakkin' Bloody Toot-sweet hell! Epic beyond capacity to tell.

Damn, accidental rhyme. Now if only I could figure out how to make my own vid- nevermind.
My thanks sir.

Yeah, forgot about the action scenesРазмещенное изображение I'll take a look at the video again and see if anything fits better

Either way, great mod. Hope to see more soon

You are right of course, I sorta put this annotation up in a panic upon seeing EDI :D. Forgot about that.

Haha, if you read the OP, you can see that I am right with ya. I don't like the original endings because they don't make sense IMO but I like the thought provoking aspect which is why my first mod (MEEM) tries to keep the difficult choices and the moral ambiguity. It's just that I got so many requests for something like this that, when I realised I might be able to pull it off, I had to try.

I was talking about current high ems destroy ending (EC). I just wanted to add EDI into memorial scene (just like in control ending - without that hug, is there a variable which determines when she can appear?) with that hesitation moment, when your LI/best friend is about to put Shepard plaque on the memory wall. And just replace one krogan slide with the photoshopped Geth slide from Control ending. And rewrite EDI plaque. That would be perfect for me. You could change only one version of the destroy ending. The rest of the endings would be untouched.

Thank you, MrFob. Thank you for allowing me to see this.

This is technically impressive and emotionally effective stuff. To me it feels far more narrative and character consistent than the original.

I'm in awe that you managed to achieve this in game. How I wish I had played the PC version now...

You know, I really feel like downloading the stream, burn in HD on a DVD, and play it on my console instead of witnessing the BS Bioware came up with. Simple, turn off the game, eject, put the burned DVD and watch.

**** yes. I'm doing it.

PS: OP, you don't have the video without the notes, do you?

I will definitely remove the plaque. The fact that it shows now is just because I forgot about it.
It is possible to put you into the control ending istead of the synthesis one, yes, In fact, that is something I want to try next in case your LI is not on board (or dead ... or Garrus because the Garrus hug doesn't look very good). Not sure it it will work yet but I think it might just be possible.
By the way, right now, I reckon the fact that EDI is not there is because you are actually standing inside of her (aka the normandy) and she is around even her body still undersoes repairs after the final battle. I mean, this is all fan fiction anyway so why not take it that one step further :).

EDIT: btw, your avatar is creeping the hell outa me. :o

Also MrFob, if you check your other thread the zip file I have a link to may have some audio files that you  find usefull.


Thanks Sentinel, I had the cut ME1 ending files in my closer selection for possible uses as well. Not the medics stuff though. Not sure how to use it but they might prove useful eventually, thanks.

I think you don't understand my idea :P

I'm not talking about your ending, I'm talking about modding high ems destroy scene (that from EC).

Is it hard to replace one slide with another?
Is it possible to add EDI to the memorial scene (destroy memorial scene)? Is there a variable which determines when she can appear? Like EDI = 0 or EDI = 1?
Is it hard to rewrite a name on the plaque?

If you go to Keepvid.com, you can download the two videos (in high definition). Combine them, burn them on a DVD and all you've got to do when you reach the end of the game is eject, insert burned DVD and enjoy the show.

The comments do not show on the recorded stream.

Ooohh, no I get it, sorry.
OK, I am not 100% on that one but I think it would be pretty hard. The three memorial scenes are all in different files and they are custom made so there is no simple switch. I reckon the easiest way is to rout you from the read ending into the blue memorial scene. That way, I think you'll probably loose Shepards last breath though. If you are interested in more detail, post over in the Sound and Cinema Modding thread over in the Fan Creations Forum.
