My exemplary Coalesced.ini file:
http://ifrit.pl/creative.group/download/Flash's ME2 mod.rar
Changelog:
1) all ingame cinematics set as skippable,
2) Jacob's weapon loadout changed to assault rifle + heavy pistol due to his military training,
3) non-combat storm stamina and regeneration 5x original value,
4) like in ME1 shields don't block powers anymore, making gameplay closer to lore,
5) health regeneration 100x slower to enforce medigel use,
6) second playthrough resource bonus increased to 500000, making planet scanning unnecessary,
7) planet scanning speed is equal as when the scanner is not active,
8) added 13 top rated male face presets and 18 top rated female presets, faces codes from http://www.masseffec...s.com/index.php,
9) Geth Pulse Rifle damage 2.5x of original value, this ups its DPS to the same level as Avenger Rifle (originally Geth Pulse Rifle's base damage and DPS is the lowest of all equipable guns in the game),
10) enemy shields and barriers (not armor) set as rechargable to remove player's unfair advantage over AI,
11) shields don't absorb full damage on break anymore (example; before having 1 shield point would absorb 100 damage before reducing health)
Reasoning for above changes:
2) Jacob is an ex-Alliance soldier. All soldiers are proficient with rifle. His original weapon loadout doesn't have much sense and makes him nearly useless as a squadmate.
3) You can save time when running around outside of combat.
4) This tweak makes almost all skills equally worth learning. It's also closer to ME lore where shields and armor can't block biotics and tech abilities, only barriers can.
5) Even on insanity I never had to use a medigel. With this tweak I still don't have to because a good player will stay in cover when his shields are down, but using unity is now finally worth the cooldown on few occasions.
6) Scanning planets is fun in first playthrough but I have enough of it now, when I finished the game and play again.
7) Scanner is slow, almost annoying. This tweak helps to save time.
9) Originally Geth Pulse Rifle's base damage and DPS is the lowest of all equipable guns in the game. This tweak make it just the same as Avenger Rifle. This also makes geth troopers as dangerous as rifle-wielding mercenaries.
10) If Shepard's shields regenerate so should enemy shields. In ME1 every enemy regenerated just like Shepard. Having an unfair advantage over AI is not fun.
11) This tweak makes shields work just like they did in ME1.
