About this mod

Genesis Intro Dialogue Undo Mod undoes the changes BioWare made to ME2's opening cutscene with Illusive Man and Miranda that Genesis 1 changed by lifting random lines from other files.

"Shepard did everything right. More than we could've hoped for."
"Commander Shepard uncovered the truth." (1)
"And still, it's not enough."
"We're at war. Nobody wants to admit it, but humanity is under attack."
(2)


You'll hear these lines if you play Mass Effect 2 with Genesis installed. Lines marked "(1)" and "(2)" are changed from how the scene originally started. The new lines are respectively lifted from an unused dialogue that came with Genesis DLC where Martin Sheen recaps the premise of the franchise, but the voice-direction is different. The second line is directly taken from a conversation that happens later in the game between Illusive Man and Commander Shepard.

Genesis Intro Dialogue Undo Mod changes those into the branching dialogue that was originally in the game:

A
"Shepard did everything right. More than we could've hoped for."
"Saving the Citadel -- even saving the Council. Humanity has the trust of the entire galaxy..."
(1)
"And still, it's not enough."
"Our sacrifices have earned the Council's gratitude but Shepard remains our best hope."(2)

B
"Shepard did everything right. More than we could've hoped for."
"Saving the Citadel -- But leaving the Council to die. Humanity's place in the galaxy is stronger than ever."
(1)
"And still, it's not enough."
"Humans may control the council, but Shepard remains our best hope." (2)

The original content had branching dialogue based on the final choices in ME1. It was presumably removed to downplay the branching plot that they did not commit to, about a human-led council. Regardless of how it seems, you might like the original scene better in its impact and tone, and recognizing the choices you made. You can still use Genesis for the recap and fixing the "Who is the councilor" import decision.
