DESCRIPTION

Bigger. Better. Bolder.

Similar to Immersive Thessia Mod, the re-release of Suicide Mission Overhaul Mod for the Legendary Edition doubles as both a port of the original and an update for the same.

SMOM features a new mechanic, called Boosting, that allows some characters to succeed at tasks they'd otherwise fail at. At the same time, it restores large amounts of cut content and introduces improvements specifically for the Legendary Edition.

As with any Orikon mod, SMOM maintains the authentic and Vanilla+ style of design that you've come to expect from my work, so you will never feel like you're playing through The Collector Base with a mod installed. You have my personal guarantee for all of that.

But how does SMOM differentiate itself from Risky Suicide Mission or Loyalty Matters? Expand the section below or, even better, read the post on X!

The Boosting Mechanic explained:

The new mechanic - called "Boosting" - applies only to characters who have corresponding cut content and who are also loyal. For instance, Zaeed has dialogue lines and cutscene animations associated with a successful Fire Team Leader. Jack does not, and thus, she cannot be Boosted in that particular role.

Boosting a character can be done in one of two ways:

1) Take them on two missions featuring Collector enemies. Narratively, this gives the character more experience/expertise fighting Collectors, therefore making them more suited to a task.

2) Romance them, and take them on one mission featuring Collector enemies. Narratively, romancing a character improves their morale/resolve, and a prior mission featuring Collectors makes them more familar with the enemy.

This kind of system means that Boosting a character requires a new playthrough, however, it also means that mods like Early Recruitment and my More Difficult Loyalties pair beautifully with SMOM. And yes, that is by design.

Combined together, these 3 mods will introduce an unprecedented level of flexibility and choice/consequence correlation into your next Mass Effect 2 playthrough.

Here is the full list of characters who can be Boosted:

Tech Specialist: Jacob, Thane, Mordin, Garrus

1st Fireteam Leader: Thane, Grunt, Zaeed

Biotic Specialist: Thane, Miranda, Jacob
