📋 About This Mod

Shortest Interrogation Ever

In the vanilla Sins of the Father quest, the option for Shepard to threaten Elias Kelham with their Spectre status is only available as a high-renegade intimidate and is not dependent on Shepard's actual Spectre status. I tweaked the line to be available to Spectre Shepards of any morality, and kept the vanilla intimidate option for non-Spectres.

Version 1. 1 adds support for non-English localizations of the game.

Compatibility:

No known incompatibilities!

Installation:

Download either with ME3Tweaks Mod Manager, or manually and drop the . 7z file into the Mod Manager. Click "Import", then find the mod in your library and click "Install". Install before .mem texture mods!

Uninstallation:

Open ME3Tweaks Mod Manager, click Manage Target, and either "Disable" or "Delete" the mod.

Known Issues:

None so far! If you encounter anything please let me know.

Acknowledgements:

Thanks to quething on the Mass Effect Modding discord for the idea and to beccatoria for the Dialogue Editor guide.
