🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since this is a Legendary Edition mod, make sure you're using the LE1 version, not the original Mass Effect 1 mod.
If you're using a mod manager like ME3Tweaks Mod Manager, install this mod through it to avoid conflicts with other dialogue mods.
Test the cheat option on a separate save to see if you prefer the always-available lines before committing to a playthrough.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing without checking requirements
👍 Pros
- Adds real stakes to dialogue—no more guaranteed success on every persuasion check.
- Paragade/Renegon friendly, so you can play a morally gray Shepard without being locked out.
- Cheat option is a nice safety net for players who just want the story without the RNG.
👎 Cons
- Dice rolls can be frustrating if you're aiming for a specific outcome and fail repeatedly.
- No documentation on how the dice rolls are calculated or how to adjust difficulty.
- Only affects Persuasion checks—doesn't change other dialogue mechanics or add new content.
