Omega Hub

THIS IS AN BETA OF OMEGA HUB, AS SUCH YOU SHOULD EXPECT MINOR VISUAL BUGS

You can finally return to Omega!

HISTORY

Bioware initially planned for Omega station to be a hub world during the alpha/beta script writing stage of Mass Effect 3. Unfortunately, the plan was cut during the development phase. After the Priority: Omega mission, players were supposed to be able to explore the station as a new hub area, which would have provided direct access to several new missions such as Grissom Academy, a mission where you'd fight Zaeed on a alien world, and there were plans for side missions set beyond the Omega-4 relay to loot lost pirate treasure and other ideas.

When they cut the mission, they cut the hub and the side missions, Zaeed's mission was rewritten into a non-combat affair, and Grissom was granted by Traynor. We ended up getting a DLC instead, which really didn't compare, and that was that.

The hub was gone.

FOUNDATION

This project is not the hub that Bioware intended, and it does not have those missions that were lost, but we're providing a new foundation to build upon. To do this, we have ported the hub areas from Mass Effect 2, including the VIP area of Afterlife. Although this is currently pretty basic, the aim is to edit the BioA and BioD files in such a way that encourages ease of modding for anyone who wants to do so.

My hope, is that different modders will work together to create content that makes visiting this hub worthwhile, so that instead of us merely spreading content from the Citadel out to Omega, that we truly begin to add to the game. By doing this, the hub should feel as if it truly belongs in the game, and if we are very lucky, perhaps people will come together to recreate some of those missing side missions.

Additionally, I have also created an interactive concept storyline for modders to run through, and set up two basic map templates for additional N7 missions.

CONTENTS

The contents of the mod are very slim. At this time, you can do the following on Omega:

[]Visit Nyreens memorial and the new Cerberus prison area.

[]Speak to Aria in Upper Afterlife.

[]Drink at the Upper Afterlife bar.

[]Tear up the dance floor in Lower Afterlife.
