I always hoped that someone would eventually make a mod that improved Garrus's final night scene on the Normandy. The fade-to-black was far too abrupt compared to the other romances. Is it possible for someone to extend his romance scene with a mod? We already have both Kaidan and Ashley's 'rolling around' animations that would work very well for this. The issue would be swapping Kaidan out for Garrus in his casual clothes (or both Ashley and Manshep for Garrus and Femshep). I've already seen something similar being done on YouTube with Femshep;Except what I'm asking, is for only part of the modded Kaidan/Ashley scene to be added to the existing Garrus scene. I'm not asking for a replacement for the whole thing (like the above).
The only modded part I would like to see added would just be the voiceless, musical section from either Kaidan or Ashley's romance scene. Everything else would be the same. That way it would play after the kiss instead of the abrupt dream sequence;Garrus and Shepard kiss - Modded Kaidan/Ashley romance scene with Garrus and Femshep - Dream sequence - 'Bad dream' sceneIf anyone knows how to stitch a modded romance scene together like this, I know it would be greatly appreciated by Garrus fans if someone finally gave him the romance scene he deservesEdited by MayorLuigi, 20 March 2017 - 10:53 PM.
In the Mass Effect series, the player can romance several non-playable characters (NPCs), depending on the gender of the player-character and the sexuality of the NPC.Male Shepard can be sexually fluid due to game restrictions on relationship partners. Windows 10 apps won't open administrator. In the first two installments, male Shepard can only be heterosexual, although it is possible to perform other sexualities through gameplay without engaging in actual romance or creating fictional romance from the game interactions. For instance, it is possible to develop a “bromance” relationship with Garrus. Fans of the ME franchise desired a gay Garrus-Shepard romance, and a glitch in the game allows those with some hacking expertise to fulfill said wish.
This can be seen in the following video:In the third game, male Shepard gets two official gay romances: one with Kaidan Alenko and one with Steve Cortez (described in more detail below).Female Shepard can either be lesbian, bisexual, or heterosexual in all the games.

Liara is coded as feminine, but asari are a monogendered race. Liara’s lesbian relationship option with a female Shepard led the game to be banned in Singapore.

There are, however, mods that allow for them, including the one shown in that allows male Shepard to have a relationship with Jacob. In addition, there is at least that imagines a queer relationship between and, two female characters whom male can romance. Using existing videos from the game that portray this romance, a fan created a video showing their love affair.Finally, in the game there are adancers (who are heavily coded as female) for a male or female Shepard.Mass Effect 3The third game has more romance options, several of which carry over from prior games and some of which require continuing the romance from ME2.

?BackOff supposedly overhauls relationships and makes the dialogue wheel more flexible. Here's a quote of the rundown.About the mod:BackOff ('BO'; pronounced 'beau') is a dialogue and story overhaul for Mass Effect 3 that focuses on relationship mechanics between Shepard and potential Love Interests (LIs). With this goal in mind it seeks to improve:Dialogue Wheels.
BO returns flexibility to the dialogue wheel, similar to ME1 and ME2. 'Agree' should not mean: 'I want to date you', when 'Disagree' is the only other option. Removal of the center-right, neutral wheel option in ME3 resulted in paragon players often getting 'ninjamanced' by LIs. BO implements many new dialogue wheel options and alters the text and choice locations so implications are clearer prior to the choice.Conversations.
BO adds variation to paths when possible, creating a greater difference between friend and romanced Shepard. It also improves conversation and scene flow, and restores cut content when possible.Characterization. In certain cases, BO removes content that feels out of character or detracts from a scene. It also tweaks email tone, and implements new romance-specific email variants for certain LIs, when warranted.Autoflirting.
BO puts flirting for FemShep back into the player's control, by allowing them to initiate the behavior.Imported ME2 LIs. When both ME1 and ME2 LIs are present, ME3 gives priority — especially on Mars — to the ME1 LI. This mechanic has been tempered, and the player given a bit more control as to how the story plays out. ME2 LIs are no longer demoted to 'cheatees'.Bug Fixes.
BO fixes hundreds of bugs with subtitles, conversation pathing, camera work, animations, lighting, and much more.Characters:AETHYTA, more accurately perceives Shepard's relationship with Liara.ASHLEY, remembers ME2 romances. BroShep has two new opportunities to 'rekindle', which affects their interactions pre-coup. Her hospital convos have been significantly improved in flow and appearance.JACOB, has had a total relationship overhaul. His characterization has been altered to be more in line with his ME2 self. The relationship hasn't been restored, but FemShep now has agency. Bad breakups have consequences, faithful rekindlers may see a light at the end of the tunnel.
Includes Citadel DLC.JAMES, clamps down on flirting, unless FemShep says otherwise; he's also bit more modest.JAVIK, will remember Kelly, Jacob, and Samara, when trying to seduce FemShep.JOKER, has been informed of Jacob's reaffirmation of character. FemShep will remember a romance with Thane prevents her from hooking up with Joker.KAIDAN, has had an attitude adjustment on Mars, in Huerta, and on the Presidium.
FemShep has more agency and has rediscovered her backbone. Gay romances now have more relationship-building opportunities prior to the date.KELLY, discovers she should always be in ME3!
Mass Effect 3 Multiple Romance Mod
She can now be professional, flirty, or committed. When committed, she expects the same of Shepard; she's now a real love interest. She also has less 'appearance amnesia', and a slightly more adept stylist.LIARA, is much less aggressive, and only gets one 'date' unless romanced. She respects ME2 romances, unless fully rekindled on the Normandy in LotSB. Once rekindled/romanced, she no longer has relationship amnesia.SAM, remembers she's a subordinate like James, and lets FemShep flirt first. She shares more details of herself the closer they get. No Citadel DLC content.SAMARA, behaves slightly differently depending on ME2 history.
Mass Effect Romance Mod 3
She will also consider Shepard's recent rekindles with Jacob and Kelly.STEVE, is less ambiguous about his interactions with Shepard. Like other LIs, he will now respect Shepard's existing romantic relationship.THANE, is not edited directly by BackOff, but BO and ThaneMOD will work together to influence FemShep's relationship mechanics.At least, this is the first I've heard of it.
It was uploaded yesterday, apparently. It's a plug and play DLC, so you're not harming the game at all. This is awesome.Thanks to giftfish for this!. I was part of the beta test and it's not using new lines to replace existing lines (like the Citadel Epilogue Mod does) but just puts content back in the game that was already there, removes a lot of the flirting or getting ninjamanced, and arranges the dialogue wheel to act like it did in ME1 and ME2.
And I can confirm that dialogue wheel and even dialogue flow edits with existing audio are insanely easy and reliable. Not infallible, but testing went very, very well over 3 months. Conditionals are set much better now too, so that the game recognizes relationships better. I only tested it, I didn't make it, so I'm not stroking my own ego. I can at confirm that my Jack romance test went completely without a hitch and my Ashley romance play through (not full test) also went well with only one error which has been fixed for the official release.
Lots of mods aren't built for it simply because they are texture/mesh mods which require very invasive modding (modifies tons of files), but it restores/installs mods quickly and lets you get a overview of your game status (installed extra DLC, modified DLCs, mount flags, etc). I tried to get other modders to use it but they seem to think manually installing is the way to go. It works with lots of mods including all the ones you get from mixins (mix and match changes)Mods built for mod manager will be tracked when they are installed (as a custom dlc). MP mods can't do custom DLC so you can't really track them.I plan on making a extra-dlc mod capture tool that will take a DLC mod and import it automatically (once requested by user) into mod manager.
