I really appreciate all the work that has gone into this mod (as I was hoping for an ending like this originally, running around with near 7000 EMS the first time I finished..). Haven't downloaded it yet, a part of me still holds a sliver of hope that the last DLC will do something. If not, then there will be this to save my love of ME.

Also, I can understand why some people wouldn't like this for their own ending, but there's really no reason for them to attack it. Don't like it? Don't use it.

@ jcknott Ok so I run Win8 :) What you need to do is download winzip or winrar from the internet. Then you can unzip and extract the MEHEM file so you can install it. Then just follow the instructions in the document provided in one of the files and you should be fine. That being said there are a few quick install.exe's out there now, may just want to use that. Much easier. Hope that helps!

I'm afraid that I haven't really kept myself up to date on the progress of this mod (so this question may have been asked previously), but during the part when the Crucible fires and you see the effects of the Reapers going down across the galaxy, was there any thought of changing the music that was used in the mod (at least, the last time I saw it on YT) which I think was the Overlord DLC theme?
Cause I recently heard this instrimental piece called "Crucible" by Miracle of Sound, which I think could also work well for that sequence:

AVPen: I really like that, and I think it would work very well for that sequence. Good find!
It's not very long though, so they would need to find some other music too.

@ AVPen Well right now, the mod uses the "Suicide Mission" soundtrack from ME2. So far, the general plan for the moment has been to keep it because it fits the scenes showed in the MEHEM ending very well. That being said, if some really good soundtrack comes up that fits the sequence of the ending's scenes really well, it may replace the "Suicide Mission" soundtrack. I do like the "Crucible" song, but I am not sure if it would fit as the soundtrack for the entire mod. Maybe part of it? But Im no expert. See what Mr Fob thinks :)

cfs3corsair: Hmm, couldn't remember if it was the Overlord theme or Suicide Mission theme during the Crucible firing sequence, but I knew it was one of those two (mind was gravitating towards Overlord for some reason).

@ AVPen Understandable, we will see if Mr Fob chooses to stick with Suicide Mission or go with another in a future version. Should be interesting

Hi everyone, a quick question. I installed the mod, positive I followed all the instructions to the T, and now the game seems to not recognize me having the extended cut, which, of course means I can't load up anything to even try the mod out. Anyone with an idea of what's gone wrong?

Do you have Leviathan DLC? If you do, you need this

https://hotfile.com/...an_Fix.rar.html
"It has been tested with ME3 v"1.4.5427.111 (the current version) with the Extended Cut DLC installed. You will need the fix for Leviathan (see link above).

quote from Mr Fob post.
If its not Leviathan, then i am sure that someone who knows more then me (not hard lol) will help you out soon.

Alright, finally got around to updating the OP with the link to the installer version of the mod. Sorry it took that long.

@AVPen: That's a beautiful peace of music. I also think something liek that would fit the mood perfectly. Only issue that's always a bid constraint here is the timing. The problem is that I can't control the timing of the music. If you look at it carefully, you'll see that the slightly modified version of the suicide mission track I use here is exactly the same length as the ec "an end once and for all" track. Also, the second part of the video (the one that starts with the oculi flying and firing red lasers) has exactly the same length as the added up videos that were in this place in the original (from the point of Shep shooting the tube to the Normandy going to FTL). The reason is that, while we can exchange the music at this point, we can't control it's timing or volume modulations (btw, this is also why sometimes the sound mix of music vs. other sounds and dialogue seems a bit strange in the videos). These things are coded in a special sound engine and while I know where the control are coded in the game, I don't have the right templates to decipher the byte code for these triggers. So if the music is to be changed, it'll have to match the video material exactly in terms of timing. It was sheer coincidence that the suicide mission track fits almost perfectly in that regard and that was one of the main reasons I used it in the first place.
So yeah, I think whatever we use, we won't get around customizing a track specifically for the videos. But first, it might be best to see if we can still make improvements in the video editing because that may impact on any musical track we want to use.

@seireikhaan: Try repeating the procedure. In rare instances, it may happen that some files get corrupted during the replacement process which can cause this kind of problem. Overwriting them again should solve it. Alternatively, you can try wavoin's new installer, now linked in the OP.

I have a idea for this mod slides depicting a happy ending with either shepard and their love interest

like male and female shepard raising a family with liara on thessia


or male shepard building talis house

or female shepard meeting gariuses parents on palaven

or shepard with ashley, kaiden or miranda or jack on earth ^_^

As I said in another thread, with MEHEM, I think new slides are for the most part unnecessary.  We get to see Shepard explicitly alive and reunited with the crew.  He./she embraces the LI (if on the Normandy crew).  Unless your LI is Miranda or Jack (or Kelly) that's plenty.  I find it an excellent jumping off point to let the imagination roam free to decide "what happens next"

Now for those others I mentioned, yeah, I imagine something along the lines of a new ending slide would be a good idea.  But I believe MrFob mentioned a while back that something is being planned there.

call me sentimental, but LiarasShield's idea seems kinda nice actually. Would provide a little more finality there. I mean, what iakus says is completely true, that we do see Shepard alive with his/her LI and that scene was excellent, as well as well-timed with the dialogue. That being said, I know many people have expressed interest in seeing 1 more final scene with the LI. Making an animated scene might be nice, but it could be very difficult to execute. A final scene depicted with a slide might be an ok idea, because (in theory) it is much easier to accomplish and would satisfy the people who requested the additional scene. Just my thoughts

Oh, I admit it would be nice. I certainly wouldn't say "no" to it. And like I said, I think Miranda and Jack-mancers actually need something extra.

The problem is I'm not so sure how feasible it is. There's so many possible paths that could be taken. I mean, one Shepard might like the home on Thessia, blue babies, etc. Another might prefer Shepard staying a Spectre and Liara the Shadow Broker, just the two of them against the galaxy. No settling down for them!

For me the game ends with Shepard hugging Ash. Beyond that I'm happy speculating.

hmmm point taken. Although remember when, during the final battle, Garrus asks Shepard what he will do after the fight and he can either respond keep going or settle down? If the response could somehow be linked to a particular slide appropriate to the response that could work...but I imagine just doing that would be very difficult given how ME3 is coded. Maybe the best thing to do would be to make different slides of Shepard settling down or going on as a Spectre, and give the option of which the user wants to install as the default in the now available install.exe.

i have an idea ... the stargazer-scene is .. well .. the stargazer-scene. nobody really likes it and it is in fact a remnant of the original, "dark-age"-ending.

it is a video-clip, that can be deactivated or edited. maybe it is possible to write down a guide, how to edit this video-clip into a slideshow with the favourate fanart. those clips could even be shared with the community.the slides should stay the way they are.


my shepard, while in love with liara, will stay with the alliance, to find new and conventional routes to the cut-off star systems. together with her crew, she will go on a star trek. spacers and career-soldiers dont settle down planet side. chakwas understands why.

Well, if they do add new post-credits ending slides, I nominate this one:
http://verticlesmile...-Wait-304617725

There is also a whole fan-art thread called "For the Little Blue Children" that has some good stuff:
http://social.biowar...ndex/11356269/1

I imagine most of the artists would be happy to let their image be used.

My thanks-  it's working as intended now.  It's lovely work.  :)

I agree that something needs to be done for the the Miranda/Jack/Kelly crowd but I don't really need to see anything after the memorial scene.

Speculations are good if you have an emotionally positive starting point (MEHEM ending), your imagination can continue down that positive path.

If your mind starts in a dark place (exploding Relays, crash landing, complete destruction of an allied race) your thoughts tend to spiral deeper into the abyss.

Although, if slides were added, the forums could improve to arguments about what style house Shepard is building or what color eyes the blue baby should have, than the current "Ending X is the least genocidal."

I'm finally getting around to trying this, but I'm having some issues. I used the installer, and everything looked like it was patched correctly. I loaded up my old pre-Cronos Station save and played through to the end but when I got to the Citadel sure enough, the little brat still showed up. :( Does the new ending only kick in with a brand new save? I have all the DLCs installed and I'm running Win 7, if that makes a difference. Any help would be appreciated, I'm not terribly PC savvy and it's super frustrating since I was really looking forward to trying this mod.
