DESCRIPTION

"I was here years ago. To see the city burning like this is..." - Liara T'Soni

Bigger. Better. Bolder.

The re-release of Immersive Thessia Mod for the Legendary Edition doubles as both a port of the original mod and an update for the same.

ITM transforms Priority: Thessia into the memorable, action-packed and intense mission it was envisioned to be - one that showcases what a planet under Reaper attack looks like. At the same time, it maintains the authentic and Vanilla+ style of design that you've come to expect from Orikon, so you will never feel like you're playing through Thessia with a mod installed.

You have my personal guarantee for all of that.

These changes either cover the entire mission, apply to multiple areas simultaneously, or - like the new email - occur outside of the mission.

[]After you meet with the Asari Councilor, an email from Javik will arrive, where he suggests you take him along with you on Thessia.[/]

[]Fixed what was likely an oversight from Bioware, and restored the original sky from the 2012 game.[/]

[]Fixed an LE3 bug that caused the background to be overly blurry. However, in order to pay respect to the LE and for artistic reasons, the new blurriness settings meet halfway between the settings from the 2012 game and the remaster.[/]

[]Certain elements, such as background particles and the vanilla Reaper, now remain loaded at all times rather than vanishing halfway through the mission.[/]

[]Streaming changes (sample video) that make the level feel more cohesive and connected.[/]

[]The distant environment now features new particles such as fire, smoke, and weapon tracers which gradually intensify as you progress through the level and help portray the worsening state of the planet. Pay attention to the background as you play and you might notice interesting details.[/]

[]The distant environment now features Harvesters flying around, as well as Reapers capital ships doing some casual harvesting.[/]

[]The distant environment now contains additional Hover Cars along the highway, which help to cover up bugged lighting spots.[/]

[]Slowed down the speed of vanilla ambient Harvesters so that they no longer zap across the level in two seconds.[/]

[]Added Harvester screams into the ambient audio mix.[/]

[]Rebalanced all ambient audio, with a baseline 50% increase to most audio.[/]
