Fixing ME3's engineering dialogue bug (with Kaidan in your game)

[explosiontime]

If you've ever played through ME3 and wondered why Gabby and Ken were so quiet, it's due to a bug that probably won't get fixed officially. Unofficially, however, there's a solution! A solution with hacking.

Thank you for this! It'll come in handy for the one save I do have with Kaidan.

Because pictures are good for explanations. <3 Thanks!

As an Xbox user, is this the kind of thing I can get banned for if the TPTB are feeling particularly vicious one day?

[sinvraal]

In theory, any modification of an Xbox file has the potential to get you banned. This risk is amplified now that the game has an online MP component. That said, I don't know how serious the risk is... it could be negligible. For myself I've never actually heard of anyone getting banned for modding ME2 saves. But the risk does exist, yes.

What sinvraal said, but at the same time, I think they're more concerned about IP and power-gaming on MP.

A mod to a save file (which technically probably isn't accessed by online) to fix a bug? I can't imagine they'd be that vicious.

Thanks! I'll totally use it in the playthrough where i actually manage to save Ken and Gabby in ME2... :)

Diagrams, labels, and semantic markup, oh yesss wait what is wrong with me i think i have a problem send help

Thanks for the suggestion; I probably would've been too post-shy to do it without some prodding, haha

I don't know what your problem is, but I know mine is 'tech support rep'. :)

Awww! Don't be shy, we don't bite here, and you had useful information to share!
