LucShep - - 3 comments @ MEHEM - The Mass Effect (3) Happy Ending Mod

I believe Bioware was onto something with the original endings, but the execution in the end-product was appaling (to say the least).
For those that disliked the endings all along, had their investment in the series (5 years +) slapped in their face, and hoped for a simpler and more in context ending to close the trilogy (also in a more uplifting note), I think MEHEM may be the best solution people will ever get.

The uninstallation that reverts files to their previous state adds value to MEHEM. Plenty get insecure when it comes about modding their games - nothing to lose in this case.

Some rough edges here and there, but all in all a really nice mod for ME3, well recommended.
Very nice work, everybody involved. :-)

PS: is there any comprehensive tutorial to change the music played in the end and credits of MEHEM?
I've tried to use the Asset explorer of ME3Explorer to swap the music (have done it before to change Purgatory's music, with success) but it seems this won't be possible in same way. :-/

I've just finished my playthrough with MEHEM v0.4 (first time with such mod), which was done with high score.
A quick personal review of it (or my atempt to)...

If you too are one of the many ME fans that didn't like the end of the trilogy, that only now got to know about MEHEM, I would definitely say to give it a go - in fact, nothing to lose here (if you end up disliking it, uninstal the mod and the ending(s) revert to what it was before).

This newer version has received quite a bit more polish and attention to detail all around, and it's getting to that point where things rarely feel detached to the rest of the game (it all fits right in), which is great.
There are very nice "extra" additions to complement it, in the form of email messages to Shepard and other nice touches (new animations are quite nice).

With that said, not all is perfect (but then nothing is)...
There are some character lip-synch, model animations and audio small issues that, here and there, may feel a little rough and unpolished to some. But then, since all these have considerable complexity involved, it is understandable, therefore excusable.

The only really negative point is, IMHO, not having a solution to keep the original music.
We are spoiled with a nice choice of two different alternative ending and credits music, but not the third (obvious?) choice of keeping the original music.
I understand that there was a major effort to deliver this with tremendous level of quality, but it feels somewhat forced.
It may be a matter of personal tastes perhaps but, for myself, nothing will ever beat the original ending score by Faunts ("Das Malefitz") which at least had brought back that same tone found in their fantastic ME1 ending song "M4 Part 2" (personal fav). I sorely miss that.

All in all, it's a top mod for ME3, and a well recommended one for reasons already listed.
Very good work, everyone involved. :-)

Yes, if you're getting that error, you'll have to create a free account here in MODDB to have access to the download mirror, otherwise that error will keep showing.
