Mass Effect 1 E3 Star System

Really cool.

About your mod, recommend to those who started the adventure now (I did palaven, omega and those missions of kazumi, blood pack, eclipse etc). I have EGM installed.

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying it.

I recommend that people start the game fresh if they want to use the mod, but it will work at any point, just those who start later will end up with a barrage of content that won't flow as well as it should.



Yeah, I'm pretty sure the galaxy maps in both are very early versions, though sadly they're so much more beautiful than the galaxy map as we see it in ME2&3! When I first saw the trailer you posted, I thought I was onto another new E3 star system, until I saw Caleston. That soured it for me .

It's interesting seeing the old trailers though, and seeing just how different it is. I found the same recently when I explored the ME1 tlk files and stumbled across text strings (and content) that never made their way into the core game of ME1. I do love digging into the history of games. I should've been an archaeologist

You did remember right, and it annoys me that they cut the Mars dlc too!

I guess with MEA they were trying to do what they planned for ME1 with the procedurally generated planets.

It be neat if some of that could be restored.
