This MOD adds an auto win of any bypass or hack mini game in Mass Effect 2. This seemed like a strange step back, which was later rectified in Mass Effect 3.No MiniGames is a mod for Mass Effect 2, created by Dybuk. Despite the first game having a full queer romance with Liara, there’s no way to get the Paramour achievement in the sequel unless you shack up with a character of the opposite sex. Mods to restore these lost romances are on the way.ĭespite its immense popularity, Mass Effect 2 certainly sticks out for its lack of LGBTQ+ representation. Kaidan, Ashley, Jacob, Thane, and Tali all have files suggesting they were originally intended to be queer, and that this may have been cut to avoid the controversy of the first game.
Jack and Miranda aren’t the only characters with cut same-sex romance content. Indeed, it isn’t as simple as just re-adding what was cut, as a lot of the scenes still need to be finished. To address this problem, this mod re-purposes dialogue from other areas of the game to fill in for any unvoiced dialogue”, explains the mod’s project lead, Mentlegen. “While there is a fair amount of cut content in the game files for these romances, there is also quite a bit of dialogue that was left unvoiced. This first release only pertains to Mass Effect 2, but a release for the third game is on the way. The More Gay Romances mod is just that - a mod that makes Jack and Miranda’s romantic subplots available to all Shepards, regardless of gender.

Upon making this discovery, the modding community quickly got to work piecing it all together and getting this cut content functioning again. Yet what modders found went further than this - it revealed that most of the crew had at least some trace of a same-sex romance left in the game. According to voice actor Courtenay Taylor, Jack was written to be pansexual, and this was later supported by audio files found by modders. As we have previously reported, same-sex romances in Mass Effect 2 were seemingly planned at one stage in development, but were cut before launch.
