About this video

The fourth WIP preview I have for this mod project (I didn't put the third one on here, its on Youtube though), that I just finished editing today! This one is the famous (or in my case, infamous) dance scene from the Citadel DLC. Now, don't get me wrong, there's nothing... bad about the original version of this scene, I just, y'know... hate it with a fiery passion. The random jealousy, the flirting, the very... suggestive sounding callback to the start of the romance in ME2, it all makes me cringe a bit (actually a lot). So I tried really hard to make the scene more in line with what I personally had wished it was. Again, reminder that I'm really just making this mod with my own tastes in mind, and not everyone will enjoy the mod's changes.

There's a part during the dancing, where if you don't pick the Renegade interrupt with James, Shepard's head will do a glitchy kind of snap to another direction. This is in the vanilla game, and while I looked into trying to fix it, I suspect it's something wrong with the animation itself, and I don't think I can do anything about it.

(Also, the new ending bit makes me laugh pretty hard now.)

No texture mods are installed in this video, unlike the first two I shared.

    I'm one of those that is fine with the vanilla because I play my shepard as the jealous type but I really like what you did here. This is much better. :)
    It's way, way better and flows very nicely!

    Oh my god, I'm so excited. Autodialogue was always a huge pain and I love this alternative approach for Shepard that leads to their dance! Your portrayal fits my Shepard so much better!

      I totally get what you mean, I've always had similar issues with Shepards dialogue in this scene (and it's not even optional!!) because I'm just like "my Shepard would never say this". I'm really happy I'm making a fix for that issue for both of us!

      I know others love the original as it is, untouched, and I would never want that taken away from them. But I'd like to think this is an extra option for those who'd rather not have their Shepard act a certain way while still loving what Garrus does for her. 

      So thank you! I related really hard to what you said about not loving the jealous reaction she has. You even take the same prompts I do!

      Thank you!! Yeah, when I had the idea for swapping the ending line to that I thought it was too funny to resist, so I'm really glad that people like it just like I do!
