Starchild-Be-Gone - Alternative LE3 Ending

Description

Good news, everyone! Starchild-Be-Gone's altered dream sequences are compatible with AHEM and the newly released Citadel Epilogue mod! To install SBG in an AHEM-compatible fashion, check the "No Ending Changes" option on the installation screen.

Does Mass Effect 3's ending still bother you? Are you tired of a holographic tween insisting that synthetics and organics can't get along, even though you just brokered a peace in the principal synthetic/organic conflict of your cycle? While also watching your AI companions develop respect, rapport, and in one case romance with their organic crewmates, over the course of two games?

Have you ever been faced with becoming a galactic dictator, murdering an entire race, or forcibly Reaperizing all life, and thought to yourself, "there's got to be a better way"?

Well, now there is! Starchild-Be-Gone (SBG) is a comprehensive revision of LE3's ending with three goals in mind: skip over all mention of the Starchild, his "problem", and the solutions he provides; provide an alternative Destroy ending that doesn't sacrifice EDI or the Geth; and preserve as much of the base game's reactivity to your choices as possible.

SBG also as a variety of optional features, including:

• []Removing the Starchild's appearance in a vent in the prologue.

  []Dramatically shortening Shepard's dream sequences such that the Starchild doesn't appear there either.

  []Subtly cutting out some of Vendetta's dialogue on Thessia to eliminate foreshadowing of the Starchild's existence.

  []Adding correspondence from members of the Crucible Project after main story missions - providing gradual, lore-respecting explanation for the device's function over the course of a playthrough.

  If you're interested in the specific changes to the ending: []Hackett's radio dialogue indicating something is wrong and that the Crucible isn't firing has been removed.

  []The elevator of light, reveal of the Crucible chamber, and Starchild conversation have all been removed.

  []The Destroy ending is automatically chosen and initiated.

  []The initial Destroy ending cutscene has been altered to remove all scenes of Shepard shooting the tube. If applicable given your choices, the flashbacks of Anderson, fallen squadmates, and Shepard's love interest are still present.

  []The cutscene of the Citadel firing the Reaper-destroying energy wave, Joker breaking off, and the effects of the wave play and reflect your choices as normal. EDI may now appear on the Normandy's bridge with Joker, provided she was not in the squad in London and vaporized due to extremely low EMS.

  []The cutscene of the Normandy on the jungle planet may now include EDI, provided she survives London. If Joker was encouraged to pursue a relationship with her
