📋 About This Mod
Take Earth Back is a community mod designed to address one of the weakest sections of Mass Effect 3 - Priority: Earth. Bioware's mission was adequate, but it didn't account for the war assets you collected across the trilogy. Take Earth Back primarily focuses on these with an overhaul of the Earth hub to feature more than 28 war assets, as well as cut content restorations, new interactive conversations and more. Additionally, the Hammer landing sequence and beam run have had minor overhauls, and the mod is built from the ground up to work for vanilla players, as well as those who play Expanded Galaxy Mod and Spectre Expansion Mod.
Below are some of the changes we have made in this mod:
Earth Hub Overhaul
When you have spent an entire game gathering allies, all you want is to see these allies when you play through the final mission. Well, we've done our best to overhaul the Earth hub area to show as many as we possibly can, not only from vanilla but also from Expanded Galaxy Mod and Spectre Expansion Mod. Additionally, we have overhauled the turret sequence. Not only has the cutscene been edited to show an aerial dogfight but the enemy composition has changed, and you are joined by an Asari Commando who will use biotics to support you in battle.
This overhaul has been done with the utmost care so that it will feel truly authentic to the vanilla experience. As our mod progresses we will strive to add more and add each war asset from the game.
