these are some little changes i made to the LE1 game to make it more fun.
i suggest installing the community patch, the voice over patch, and pinnacle station dlc.
my changes come on top of those:
1) buy items for 50% price and sell for 25% price
2) grenades deal 5 times its damage (finally the grenades are useful)
3) mako boost last 4 seconds (still recharges in 2 seconds)
4) mako takes 5 times shield damage (nerf, to make the game more entertaining)
to make these changes i had to edit coalesced.bin and sfxgame.pcc, first i installed community patch, voice over for community patch, pinnacle station dlc... then i modified coalesced.bin and sfxgame.pcc
Why install voice over patch, if i have already english, any reason? You mean community patch 1.2 here on moddb?
my little modification is based on files changed after using the community patch.
maybe you do not need to install the huge download offered here, i just made it available just in case for who is too lazy to manually download the mod manager and the community patch files...
in any case the mod with reduced shop price, high damage grenades, weaker mako shield with double time speed boost is made modding only 2 files, if you already have the community patch installed (even without pinnacle station dlc and voice over extra files) just drag and drop the two modded files to have the new behavior... you also find a txt file with explained exactly how each modification has been made, so you can learn and eventually customize further the game, changing it how you like even more.
