Early Recruitment (LE2)

Early Recruitment 2. 0

This mod has been overhauled and updated and is now presented in two modules which can be installed independently or together. Early Recruitment 1. 0+ has now become the Classic Module, and a new Legion Module has been added.

Classic

This module allows early recruitment of Thane, Samara and Tali, early access to the Illium Hub and early access to the Tuchanka hub if Wrex is the clan leader. Thane and Samara are available immediately after Freedom's Progress. Tali's recruitment mission will become available after a short delay (as she is completing her mission for the Migrant Fleet), but before Horizon.

2. 0 includes technical improvements to audio implementation, improved dialogue for early recruits on Horizon, and a custom timer to prevent loyalty missions from triggering immediately.

Main Features

• []Illium will be available after Freedom's Progress.[/]

  []Tuchanka will be available after Freedom's Progress provided Wrex is the clan leader. Small amendments to dialogue for immersion and to clarify that recruiting Wrex is the purpose of Shepard's visit (see Media tab).[/]

  []Thane and Samara's recruitment missions will unlock after Freedom's Progress. [/]

  []Tali's recruitment mission will unlock after completing 2 recruitment/loyalty missions.[/]

  []Horizon will trigger after 4 recruitment/loyalty missions if Mordin has been recruited. Horizon will not trigger until Mordin is recruited. [/]

  []Early recruits are fully voiced in a majority of pre-Horizon missions, this is vanilla content which is otherwise inaccessible.[/]

  []Early recruits do not have lines on Horizon (with the exception of Tali). Basic dialogue has been implemented, take any combination of squadmates on the mission. But taking two unvoiced characters will result in a quieter ambient experience.[/]

  []Loyalty missions for characters recruited after Horizon will not trigger until at least one mission has passed. [/]

  []The Shadow Broker DLC triggers after Horizon. As in vanilla, you must read the email sent by the Illusive Man, then speak to Liara to progress the quest.[/]

  []The Collector Ship will trigger (1) five missions after Horizon if (2) there are at least 8 recruited squadmates and (3) Garrus and Jack are among them. You must recruit Garrus and Jack before this mission will trigger (this is to prevent bugs on import to LE3).[/]

  *As in vanilla, loyalty missions for regular squadmates will not trigger until after Horizon. However, Zaeed and Kasumi do not have recruitment missions and - again as in vanilla - their loyalty missions are available immediately. These loyalty missions count towards unlock requirements for Tali's recruitment and Horizon.
