📋 About This Mod

Throughout the Mass Effect trilogy Paragon Interrupts tend to be about deescalating situations or comforting others while Renegade ones are about escalating situations often with violence. Then we have punching Gavin Archer in Overlord which is for some reason a Paragon interrupt involving escalating a situation and choosing violence where it's not necessary, which always struck me as odd.

This mod brings that particular interrupt more in line with the rest of the trilogy allowing for a Renegade flavour to your Paragon option.

Compatibility

Compatible:

-Practically everything I know of

Incompatible

-Overlord Morality Fix, A patch will probably never exist as it'd require one mod to fully assimilate the other, I can't imagine Marc would agree to make his own mod redundant and if he wanted to implement my change he'd probably have done it already when he made his mod.

-Anything else that also alters BioD_Unc1Base4_310BossFight_LOC_INT.pcc
