Greetings,
first of I'd like to start with possible apology if anything like this was posted before, search engine wasn't really helpful on finding anything about it.
The thing I want to talk about is Mass Effect 2's version of Phalanx pistol, namely it's laser sights.
I looked up and down the internet but I didn't find anything about it at all, mod wise or visual mod wise. I ran over one topic in ME12 forums with developer stating they had to create special script for the laser to work.
I didn't know about the laser until recently, to be honest. In all my 14 (now 15) playthroughs of ME2 I never used phalanx once, but my gf got hands on it and suddenly, she had laser on pistol and I flailed arms in panic of overlooking this. While her laptop can't really handle the graphics, I kicked on my xbox and was surprised that it is no upgrade or anything.
And I was wondering, while it wasn't probably possible for ME2, would it be possible to add laser sight into ME3 as mod / instead of scope for pistols and/or sniper rifles? I mean, Nemesis' use laser aiming, so I guess there has to be some base for it in there, though I'm no scripting expert or anything. But I love the look of the laser and I mainly use Paladin and/or sniper rifles.
Regards

Laser sights were one of the things I wanted in ME3. Would have been amazing to have it as a mod for the weapon.
Although, I'm curious as to what it could do, stat-wise I mean. Or would it only be for appearance?
As you said, though, Nemeses use them to target you when firing their sniper rifle. I'd imagine that all that needed to be done really, was to enable the laser when the player zooms in with their gun. The other thing that it would need is to disable the sound that the nemeses currently make. (That high screeching sound when they aim).
It would really only be a matter of tweaking a script they already have. Probably some reason it wasn't included though, I doubt that it would be a graphics problem, as it is essentially just a line.
While I'm here though, they had some form of laser on the orbital target gun thing that Shepard uses on Rannoch.
