📋 About This Mod
This mod does two things - restore Harbingers design from Mass Effect 2 and edits the prologue so that he is the first Reaper that you witness on Earth.
There's little more to say about it other than... ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL!
FAQ:
"I do not like having Harbinger in the prologue. How can I remove him?"
This is quite simple. All you need to do is go into the Legendary Edition install folder, find Mass Effect 3 and go to its DLC folder. While in there look for DLC_MOD_Harbinger, and open up its folders. Instead will be two files with filenames beginning with BioD_ProEar. Just delete these two and you're sorted.
