About this mod

Removes Diana Allers from the Citadel docking bay, reallocating her war asset value to the paragon interrupt with Khalisah bint Sinan al-Jilani. For those players uninterested in her recruitment who'd rather not miss out on war asset points and prefer she not be constantly calling for Shepard every time you stop by the Citadel.

Description

Allers-Be-Gone (ABG) removes Diana Allers from ME3, by preventing her initial appearance in the Citadel docking bay after Priority: Mars. To compensate for her lost war asset (5 points) as well as the war asset bonuses acquired from her interviews (up to 15 points), the 5 points you receive for using a paragon interrupt in the conversation with Khalisah bint Sinan al-Jilani has been increased to 25 points. Note that this will only apply if you install and activate ABG prior to speaking with Khalisah, performing the interrupt, and receiving her war asset. Mod-based alterations to war assets only apply to new war assets awarded after the mod is installed; if you've already spoken with Khalisah and really really want that missing 20 points, you'll need to open your save in the Trilogy Save Editor and modify the value for her war asset stored there.

Okay, but why tho?

I'm just not a big fan of her character. Even putting to the side the whole "games journalist cameo in a game" thing, I feel like she's a poor replacement for Khalisah bint Sinan al-Jilani and Emily Wong, and think her potential romance is kinda yikes. I never recruit her to the Normandy when I play ME3, and it bugs the completionist in me to see/hear her incomplete questline in the Citadel docking bay. Compensating for her lost war asset was also a fun way to figure out how to mod that whole system. I figured I'd release this on the Nexus in case others were looking for a similar mod.

Installation and Removal

Import and install through ME3Tweaks Mod Manager. To uninstall, quit the game, and use ME3Tweaks Mod Manger to remove ABG:

  • With LE3 selected in the installation dropdown, click on Manage Target.
  • Click on the Delete button next to Allers-Be-Gone.
  • Close the window, and try to cope with the prospect of a life without ABG.

Note that the adjustment to Khalisah's war asset value will not be undone by uninstalling the mod. You will need to either edit your save to correct this, or revert to a save prior to speaking with Khalisah and performing the paragon interrupt.

Compatibility

This mod replaces BioD_CitHub_Dock.pcc, and thus will require a patch to be compatible with any other mod that replaces/alters this file. ABG additionally edits conditionals 1626, 2378, and 2380 to always return false, thus any mods relying on these conditionals are likely to behave strangely. If you're having compatibility problems with another mod, let me know and I'll see about making a patch.
