1. Can I install the mod on illegal (pirated) copies of the game?

A: No. And I have no intention of ever making that an option. AAOM is a highly-produced mod designed to blend seamlessly with the rest of the game. Such high standards mean that, in return, users are expected to at least own a legal copy of the game. I understand that Origin can sometimes cause headaches, but Mass Effect 3 is an 8 year old title which can be purchased for a very low price. And if AAOM ever catches the eye of Bioware representatives, it would look bad on the project's record if I freely distributed it to pirates.

2. What installation order should I use for content mods such as EGM, ME3Recalibrated, PEOM, Spectre, etc.?

A: Installation order with Mass Effect 3's content mods is mostly irrelevant, with the exception of texture mods such as ALOT which must always be installed last.

3. Do I need to start a new playthrough?

A:  No. AAOM functions perfectly regardless of your playthrough's status or which mission you're currently at.

4. Why are some missions not affected, like Grissom Academy, Priority: Tuchanka, etc.? Why do some missions have more changes then others?

A: Not all missions needed editing. Usually it's because there was no cut or inaudible audio, but sometimes it's because the environment of the level did not allow for any new additions. For instance, Priority: Tuchanka takes place in middle of a radioactive wasteland -- apart from a general hum, wind, and some metal creaking (which was already present), there isn't much you can do with that level.

5. What happened during Mass Effect 3's development? Why is the original game so quiet compared to your mod?

A: This interesting interview with Rob Blake, Lead Audio for Mass Effect 2 and 3, provides some interesting insight. In short, it was a combination of new technology, some console limitations, and a lack of time. I'd like to point out two quotes from the interview:

Another issue was that it was really easy for the audio team to put in a sound that was ridiculously loud, so we had to police ourselves pretty heavily and make some new asset and parameter standards to ensure this didn’t happen.

I went through the game at the end of the project and did a mix pass, but generally there isn’t as much time to do this as we’d like.

I went through the audio design of every level, and I can confirm both of these statements. Some SFX is perfectly balanced when it's set at it's default volume, just as it was imported by Blake and his team. But other SFX needs volume reduction (sometimes by several dozen decibels) and testing to see how it interacts with other ambient audio, at what volume, how audible it is, and how it all sounds and mixes together in various situations, areas and circumstances found throughout the level. That is quite time-consuming.

I speculate that due to time constraints or other reasons, Blake and his team couldn't do a detailed pass of the game, and had to rely on approximation and guessing for various SFX. In turn, that resulted in much of the SFX being unclear, inaudible or straight up cut.

Regardless, Blake and his team of 13 sound engineers did a spectacular job with Mass Effect 3. Every mission has a unique, detailed and impactful sound design -- and I'm very proud to have had the opportunity to perform the required tweaks so that their hard work can finally shine through.

6. I didn't like a sound/sounds/sound balance in a certain level. What can I do?

A: Much like with all my work, I take all feedback seriously. This is especially the case with AAOM, where taste and sound design preferences vary from person to person. I will do my best to continuously tweak and change AAOM's improvements so that they fit the majority of users. If you do not like something or wish to change it, leave a comment. The more constructive it is, the better the chances of me taking it seriously.

7. Why were Thessia and London skipped? Both missions clearly need improvement.

A: Improvements to Priority: Thessia and Priority: Earth, including their sound design and ambient audio, were already covered in Orikon's other work: Priority: Earth Overhaul Mod and Immersive Thessia Mod.

8. Yo, I reported this problem at [insert date] but nobody has fixed it.

A: Either:

a) You failed to properly specify the location, time and nature of your problem.

b) The problem is user error and cannot be mass replicated among the majority of users.

c) This was already addressed and is not a bug or error.
