About this mod

This mod aims to both resolve and add to Saren's transformation throughout the game using hand created new meshes and HD textures. It introduces early forms of Saren before his heavy Geth implants. These looks should be less conspicuous and should help explain why the council could see him and still trust him.

Saren Stages LE 2.0 Updates:

  • Added long requested version where implants and tubes are not present when we first meet Saren robed or armored. (Saren's head has been slightly remodeled to acheive this and and re-textured.)
  • General mesh fixes for both robes and armor.
  • Robed Saren no longer clips through the chair on Sovereign
  • Built in support for ME¹LLO 
  • Added support for Saren Biotic VFX fix by Vegz
  • Added long requested version where implants and tubes are not present when we first meet Saren robed or armored.
  • More language support
  • Better installer descriptions.
  • Switch to TFC texture storage (wasn't yet working for LE1 when the mod was initially released) for space saving and efficiency

This mod aims to both resolve and add to Saren's transformation throughout the game using hand created new meshes and HD textures. It introduces early forms of Saren before his heavy Geth implants. These looks should be more Turian and less conspicuous. It should help explain why the council could see him and trust him (being that he is now not mutated and bloody) and also adds to the narrative that Saren slowly changes as he becomes indoctrinated symbolizing his loss of self.The main option is based on concept art and does appear Sith like. He will have this Sithy appearance until Virmire where he changes to his familiar armor albeit he is not yet mutated. Then on Ilos we see him with his implants for the first time and up until his final transformation. The alternate option is for those who don't like the Sithy appearance and he will simply use his new Virmire appearance (familiar armor with no mutations) up until Ilos. Either way this mod should enhance some of the final dialogue and add some more depth to Saren's story and transformation. I hope you enjoy :)
