So, I had a chance to play through CEM yesterday night and I thought I'd make a quick post about it, 'cause I think it's really well made.
I played through CEM light with JAM and JamtoCEMlight. The refurbished stargazer scene works really well. Would be cool to see the Normandy really flying towards the docks of the citadel in earth orbit though. Maybe we can make a vid for it at some point, if you are interested.
Also, for CEM light, I think it would be cool to drop Shepard right into the apartment, ideally, right unto the conversation with glyph, where you decide what kind of party you want. Of course, that would mean that you can't choose if you want to not invite someone but I wonder if anyone ever doesn't invite everyone anyway. I think this may be fairly easy to do with some sequence modding.
So, enough nit-picking, now for the mod: It's brilliant! At least for the light version, I didn't even notice that the party was modded at all, which is really great. I know it's dam difficult change dialogue without it coming off as weird or cut or something. But this just feels ... natural, so it is really quite the achievement.
In the past, when playing Citadel, I always chose the loud party with glyph, so this time, I chose the quiet one. i wish I hadn't. Don't get me wrong, the character interactions are cool and you just gotta love Zaeed and Garrus wiring up your place (

). But it seems a bit underwhelming for a victory celebration after the war and actually, most of the characters seem to think the same (I think James said something about his Kindergarten graduation being more exciting, haha). So in the future, when playing CEM, I will definitely choose the rowdy party again.
One of my favorite moments of the mod was definitely the end though. The music replacement is fantastic and provides a really nice end for the game's epilogue.
So all in all, I just want to say: great work Deager and thanks for the mod!
