It also remixes a handful of existing N7 side-missions with new enemies, new rewards and some extra details. It also includes a collection of remixed multiplayer Hazard Maps with new environmental twists and enemy groups. There's also a swarm of new Assignment side-quests (go here, deliver this, you know the drill) to help bulk out the galaxy map a little.īuilding on the Expanded Galaxy Mod's foundation is the Ark Mod, which adds a whole new (short) mission to the game, letting you deploy your entire crew of heroes instead of just having two companions at your side. There's a lot more customisation options aboard the Normandy, and several new sets of armour and weaponry to play around with. The second of the day's releases is the Expanded Galaxy Mod, which seeks to inject a lot more life and detail into Mass Effect's universe, and is also a prerequisite for several other mods.
There's some new cutscenes too, but the endings remain mostly unaltered from Bioware's own official post-launch rewrite. The battle for Earth now has better paced and more varied encounters, additional dialogues and NPC interactions and a few new events based on earlier decisions. The first of the N7 Day mod releases is the Priority Earth Overhaul Mod, which specifically addresses those wonky final few missions. And Kai Leng, who we shall not speak any more of. Below, an official video celebrating this day in future fictional space-time, and a peek at some of the mods rolling out or being updated today.įor the record, I thought Mass Effect 3 was a perfectly decent game with a wobbly final few hours. This year, an alliance of Mass Effect 3 modders have gotten together to release a slew of complimentary updates, polishing up old content, adding entirely new missions and expanding the player's impact on its galactic war. It's November 7th, and according to Bioware that means it's N7 Day, where we salute the (colour-coded) hard choices made by Commander Shepard in defence of Earth.
