Altered Assassin (Replace Kai Leng with Miranda or Jacob)

This mod removes Kai Leng from the game and replaces him with either Miranda Lawson or Jacob Taylor. Only one of them will escape Cerberus' recall order... Which one?  That depends on your choices during Mass Effect 2.

This new branching narrative is fully immersive, supported by extensive dialogue and cutscene edits, text content and new gameplay options. It features character designs by Jenya66.

  This mod has several goals. To provide a more emotionally engaging antagonist than Kai Leng. To engage with Miranda's reluctance to believe in Cerberus' malevolence during Mass Effect 2.

  The Videos tab showcases most of the major changes.

  You must install this mod before confronting the Illusive Man on Mars or it will not work.

  Mechanically this means that Miranda will be the Assassin unless:

  (1) Miranda is loyal

  (3a) you choose her for both leadership positions during the suicide mission or

  (3b) you choose her for one leadership position during the suicide mission and she verbally resigns from Cerberus if she's in the active party when Shepard chooses to destroy the base.

  If either Jacob or Miranda died during the suicide mission at the end of Mass Effect 2, th
