📋 About This Mod
Changes:
The UNC conversations in ME1 were usually pretty basic as they were done last and without much revision by cinematic designers. Loadingue and I took it upon ourselves to overhaul the Dr Saleon scene as it lacked anything outside of autogenerated animations. This mod adds two new alternate scenes, one for if Garrus is allowed to kill Dr. Saleon and one where Shepard kills Saleon. I also have edited the scene, you won't have to go into combat with Saleon if he is killed in the scene.
Compatibility:
No issues at this time. This only works with ENGLISH/INT currently. I hope to port it to other languages soon. A patch for LE1 Diversification Project is available.
Installation:
Download with Mod Manager, or drag the 7 zip file into the ME3Tweaks Mod Manager, install, and then apply.

✅ Pros

For Mass Effect 1 players who want to see the Garrus scene from a new angle and appreciate subtle cinematic tweaks. Skip if you're expecting major content changes or if you're not bothered by the original cutscene.
