About this mod

This mod allows you to kill Zaeed during his loyalty mission if Vido gets away, no matter when you play the mission.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Not a huge fan of Zaeed, but don't want to miss out on XP and loot from his loyalty mission? Like saving factory workers? Like killing off your crewmates? This mod is for you!

Introduction

This mod for Mass Effect 2 LE allows you to leave Zaeed behind at the end of his loyalty mission, if you save the factory workers and Vido escapes. Previously, this option was only available to you if you completed Zaeed's loyalty mission AFTER completing the suicide mission. This mod allows you to make that decision anytime, giving you the ability to kill Zaeed pretty much whenever.

If you choose to go after Vido, you can't kill Zaeed.

This mod also slightly alters the dialogue wheel options when getting Zaeed's loyalty, to make it make more sense in the context of potentially killing him.

There is a potential bug in the Suicide Mission if you have only 8 squadmates, and kill Zaeed after getting the IFF. If someone dies on the suicide mission and Zaeed is already dead, one of your squadmates will be duplicated in some cutscenes to fill the gap. It is a visual glitch and only occurs in a rare edge case, and has no future repercussions.

Compatibility
This mod should be compatible with pretty much all other LE2 mods out there. Any mod that edits the same file and mounts above this mod will safely override it, and you will not be able to kill Zaeed anymore. At the moment, I know of no other mods that modify this file.

Installation
Install this mod with the ME3Tweaks Mod Manager version 7.0 or above. Drag and drop the .7z into the mod manager, import it into your mod library, or install it immediately. You can uninstall this mod through the Manage Target feature of the mod manager.

Technical Information
Mount Priority: 4120
Changes no conditionals or transitions (unless I find a bug in the future that brings Zaeed back to life)
