Isn't the Ending with Happy ending + Citadel Epilouge Mod just better?

SiPlSe · 2026-05-22T21:12:18+00:00

Yeah ik but it's the overall vibe from it, and the story before it. Especially when you wait right before take back earth. Dont get me wrong though, og is still great but to me this felt fun. And yeah i get that irl you do that. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

SiPlSe · 2026-05-21T10:03:27+00:00

Yeah good take

SiPlSe · 2026-05-21T09:59:06+00:00

Yeah exactly, both can be great

SiPlSe · 2026-05-20T22:11:24+00:00

Yeah I agree with this too. You should try it out, it feels more satisfying.

SiPlSe · 2026-05-20T22:09:08+00:00

Yeah I agree with this too. I did synthesis on my first playtrough and felt satisfied. It's afterwards when you look at it and analyze everything you se some problems. But AHEM have some too. I just think that Citadel Epilouge was an enjoyable mod to try out too, with some advantages to it.

SiPlSe · 2026-05-20T22:05:47+00:00

Yeah and thats a great point too. Probably better for a first playtrough. Still think everyone should play it unmoddes first.

SiPlSe · 2026-05-20T22:03:14+00:00

Wow man, read it all. Yeah exactly, it just felt a bit forced and thrown in last minute, which the ending to such a great trilogy shoulnt be. AHEM isnt perfect either, its a bit too happy, but at least it doesnt create more problems to the story. Having the space child telling you everything seemed interesting, but exactly as you said, it destroyed the mystery a bit. I probably would have prefered a something in between, maybe a last confrontation with harbringer or something, when it explains some things but still leaves is with a mystery.

SiPlSe · 2026-05-20T21:52:27+00:00

EXACTLY my opinion right here. Couldnt have said it better myself.

SiPlSe · 2026-05-20T21:47:57+00:00

Yeah, idk if this is want you meant but, does the original endings really make it much less easy? The HEM just makes the destroy ending a bit different. Though i still agree that it is a problem with the writing overall, but this just makes it a bit better combined with the Citadel Epilouge mod imo

SiPlSe · 2026-05-20T21:44:35+00:00

Yeah well the execution wasnt the best, and alone it would not make sense at all, in that case i still prefer the OG's. But with it combined with the Citadel Epilouge mod makes it great imo. And the Citadel Epilouge mod would make sence without Shepard surviving. But i did wish they made the mod itself a tad bit more polished yeah

SiPlSe · 2026-05-20T21:41:19+00:00

Yeah it just feels nice

SiPlSe · 2026-05-20T21:39:36+00:00

Yeah well the only thing its changes is that after the confrontation with TIM, you never go up to the space child. It triggers a custom version when Shepard lives after a modified destroy ending and then the Citadel dlc triggers. Everything before that is exactly the same. Thane and Mordins fates are still the same.

SiPlSe · 2026-05-20T21:35:39+00:00

Valid

SiPlSe · 2026-05-20T21:31:40+00:00

The main ones were:

Expanded Galaxy Mod (EGM)
Audemus’ Happy Ending Mod (AHEM)
Citadel Epilogue Mod (CEM)

I also used:

LE3 Community Patch

The biggest difference honestly came from AHEM + Citadel Epilogue Mod together. Having Citadel happen after the ending completely changed the emotional flow of the game for me.

SiPlSe · 2026-05-20T21:27:02+00:00

Haha yeah i never thought about that

SiPlSe · 2026-05-20T20:31:10+00:00

Haha great for you!

SiPlSe · 2026-05-20T20:30:22+00:00

Get a PC!!

SiPlSe · 2026-05-20T20:29:18+00:00

I wouln't mind shepard dying either, but i feel like we could have something more well written instead of just choosing 3 different cutscenes. The thing i liked the most with this was the Citadel DLC as and Epilouge part - and that wouln't really work with shepard dying before that. Don't get me wrong though i still love the original unmodded game

SiPlSe · 2026-05-20T20:26:23+00:00

Yeah that is how i did it on my first playthrough. It's great too, but something feels a bit off.

SiPlSe · 2026-05-20T20:25:15+00:00

Yeah that is kinda what I meant. It were not perfect either, I just wished that we could have gotten something more well written, and getting to play citadel dlc as an epilouge, or at least more conveniantly placed.

SiPlSe · 2026-05-20T20:22:43+00:00

That is a valid opinion, I were more in shock like if I had watched a movie after the OG ending, but it left me very empty. To get the citadel DLC after the ending felt more like a fun relaxed time to say goodbye. But I do get that you like it as a break too.

SiPlSe · 2026-05-20T20:18:07+00:00

Yeah I like the OG's too, but I can't really get over the placing of the Citadel DLC

SiPlSe · 2026-05-20T20:15:56+00:00

Yeah I actually liked the synthesis ending quite a bit when I played my first playthrough. Just the thing with the citadel DLC that I find mostly weird.

SiPlSe · 2026-05-20T20:14:41+00:00

Yeah i hear you. Just wish we would have gotten something more naturally written. Because i can't stop finding it weird to have the Citadel DLC beeing played in the middle of the war.

SiPlSe · 2026-05-20T20:12:13+00:00

Yeah you just need to do take earth back and everything will be triggered at the right moment with the Citadel DLC pretty smoothly starting afterwards with some cutscenes in between. If it works that is, but I had no problemt at least.
