📋 About This Mod
Repurposes Joker's dialogue lines from Mass Effect 1 and 3 to make him be the Normandy crewman speaking on Arrival DLC instead of some random person we never see and who might not even exist.
The mod alters and fixes a potential plot hole, if playing Arrival while the Normandy crew is abducted or dead, by making the person who notifies Shepard about an incoming message from Hackett and picking the player from Project Base be Joker, instead of an unidentified communications officer. Currently the mod is fully localized in English, French, German and Italian only due to the mod using spliced dialogue from Mass Effect 1 and 3 to create similar lines to those from the vanilla DLC. If you are interested in seeing the mod translated to your language, please let us know in the comments, if you have the time and language skills to provide proper translations. Update: dialogue lines are now subtitled in both Spanish and Russian as of 1. 2 too.
Installation
This mod REQUIRES to be installed with the latest ME3Tweaks Mod Manager version by Mgamerz. 8. 2+ is REQUIRED. Make sure you let it update to the latest build after installation, in order to make sure the mod can be correctly installed. It is recommended to install over a vanilla NON textured game.
The mod is in DLC form, so its installation is as simple as drag and drop the . 7z file into the Mod Manager and let it work its magic.
Un-Installation
Use the Mod Manager to remove the mod. Savegames aren't dependent of it, so it can be mostly safely removed and/or added at any point during your game.
