Liara Mourns the Dead mod for Mass Effect Legendary Edition

Liara Mourns the Dead

This mod expands the conversation between Shepard and Liara that occurs after the attempted Cerberus Coup. Liara will discuss Kaidan, Ashley and/or Thane, depending on who died during the Coup and on Virmire.

In the vanilla game, this conversation appears only if Kaidan or Ashley died confronting Shepard during the coup. It will now trigger for all players. If the Virmire Survivor was talked down and sided with Shepard against Udina, Liara will instead discuss the squadmate who died on Virmire. She will also talk about Thane (if he died as a result of saving the Salarian Councillor).

This is not cut content, this was constructed with borrowed and spliced lines to flesh out an interesting scene that many players will never otherwise see. Please see the video tab for the full scene.

Language

This mod is for English language audio only. It involves heavy use of repurposed and spliced lines from other areas of the game which I cannot replicate (and may not be replicable) for other languages.

If you play with English audio and subtitles in another language, this is supported, but please note that translation is currently automated and likely contains errors. If you can submit a more accurate translation, I would be grateful to receive and integrate this into the mod.

Installation

Download the .7z file.
Import the .7z file into ME3Tweaks Mod Manager.
Apply the mod to the game.
Play the game.

You can install this mod at any point before returning to the Normandy after the Cerberus coup, as long as you have not installed texture mods (using MEM - Mass Effect Modder).

Uninstallation

This mod may be deleted or disabled safely via ME3Tweaks Mod Manager. Select your LE3 installation, and then choose "Manage Target", you will see the option to disable or delete.

Compatibility

This mod has no compatibility conflicts that I am aware of.

The original trilogy release of the Expanded Galaxy Mod included a different version of this scene. Currently, the EGM version of the scene seems unlikely to be ported to Legendary Edition. However, should that happen in future, EGM's version should override this one safely.

If Thane survives the coup as a result of the Thane Can Live mod, Liara will not reference Thane during the conversation.
