So thanks to the industrious posters here (Bendi, and 3E74) - I've now merged both of their edits in to one coalesced.bin file.

As always, back up your original file/saves beforehand.

Replace yours located in (...\Mass Effect 3\BIOGame\CookedPCConsole\) with this one to :

Double the military strength of your war assets. This is effectively the same thing as setting your Galactic Readiness level to 100%, allowing you to get full use of the assets you find without having to worry about MP. It's not cheating, it's how the game should have implemented the feature in the first place. MP should NOT dictate single player outcomes, in any game, EVER, especially RPGs. (Note: you must start a new game for these changes to take effect, did not work on my previous quicksave). Hopefully Bendi's multiplication skills are up to par! Very Happy

Hit F12 to give yourself the CE weapons. You only have to do this once per character, then save your game. (confirmed working)

Thank you both for all the work - all credit goes to you guys, I just merged the edits into one file.

Thank you Immunity.. and thank you Bendi and 3E74. Fantastic work guys! I've already been doing my own editing of the INI, adding military strength but it only works on assets not yet acquired, which is why a restart is the best way to "maximise" everything.

What the fuck did I just play? All the decisions I made previously, and in previous games, all rendered meaningless, all the people I helped, every alliance I made, wiped away in a single stupid 5 minute cutscene. How were any of those options choices? They were all exactly the same, they all resulted in the same thing, just with different colors.

I can get some of the themes, but I wasn't given a choice, I was given three flavors of dogshit with a choice of sprinkles, cookie crumbs, or bullshit syrup. I can understand trying to be philosophical, but they pulled it off terribly by forcing you to do it and ignoring all your past choices and events, not to mention the fact that they insult you by implying you actually have a choice, when all the choices are exactly the damn same. I would have settled fine with a cliche "Good Guy Saves The Universe and Fucks His Girl/Guy" ending, rather than this fucking mess.

I used the save editor to increase the War Assets but i still wasn't able to to get the "perfect" ending according to the IGN's guide http://www.ign.com/wikis/mass-effect-3/Endings. I went with the "synergy" ending. I thoroughly enjoyed each one of the games but this is by far the shittiest thing that BioWare could have done to conclude this saga.


This was fun but it also infuriated the shit out of me. Bah! I am done. Time to uninstall this and get drunk.

Hi Immunity, I'm just in the process of building up my war assets. But since the Galactic Readiness is still stuck at 50%, at what point do you suggest I club the file you have provided to boost the readiness to the max? or can it be used at any point?

It's ridiculous how Bioware decided to fuse the MP elements to the outcome of the SP side of things. Sad

If he did correctly, it will DOUBLE everything (but you wont be able to get 10k for the real ending).

But we dont know if you actualy need 5k EMS.

The file does NOT work retroactively. It's best to copy it over and start a NEW game so that it can work the way it's supposed to.

Galactic Readiness cannot be changed at the moment (it will always be 50% if you don't touch multi-player.)

Example of how the stock game works: You find.....

A Turian Warship
100 points x .5 (the multiplier that can't change) = 50 points effective.

What this modded file does is.....

A Turian Warship
200 points x.5 (the multiplier that can't change) = 100 points effective.

If you played the multi-player fully on a legit copy....

A Turian Warship
100 points x 1.00 (the multiplier that changed due to MP) = 100 points effective.

It basically nullifies the MP component of the game so you don't get penalized for not playing it. Effective is what determines your ending choices, thereby allowing you to play the game for what it was meant to be played as (SP), without shafting you.

Well based on the leaked story details that ending does not have that little bonus scene.
(Which is a bit forced again, I guess.)

There's an easier way to modify war asset value which does not involve editing coalesced.bin and then gaining modded war assets ingame.

I still "believe" Bioware when they said there are more war assets than are needed for the best ending only by SP means so I'm still playing it legit, but they also said we'll get high resolution textures and...well...that didn't turn out quite right Very Happy


That will allow you to edit the war readiness "score" parts of the save directly.
(Can mass edit them all if you want, just enter 500 or 1000 in the value field and you'll get a couple of thousand points directly depending on how many individual assets you have.)

Are you referring to the after credits cut scene?

I'm not entirely certain about that,from how I understood it I meant the so called best ending sequence but I'll look trough it again just to confirm it properly. Smile
(There's like 50 different videos for the endings in various combinations although it all boils down to blue, green, red in the end and the rest is just little extras showing how well you did with your war assets from how I see it.)

EDIT: Found it again.

I am going to defend it. But ME as a trilogy and not ME3 as a standalone game (not imported).

While ME3 might be the worst me game in trilogy, It is still good becouse of the story, chooices and all the anserws. Graphics are allright and sound is very good. There is a bit too much shooting but it was well balanced and thank god shooting(even there is plenty of it) is still smaller portion of the game.

It is certainly not a piece of crap. I see that plenty of people might hate it, but it is just not a bad game. Now I dont want anything more than time to replay the whole trilogy Smile

There is one big problem with 3rd game tho... There are right and wrong chooices. In an rpg game all chooices should rather be awarding. In ME There seems to be the "right" path which developers wants players to stick to. Like in a fisk spoiler

Been watching my brother play the game all afternoon and man the aesthetics are just so... like... I mean it's like the game lacks polish. Which was there in 2 as far as aesthetics go. Now it just feels very... drained / lifeless.

Fuck this. I'm gonna go replay Alpha Protocol. Now that is a game that deserves a Trilogy.

It won't.

Obsidian will probably fuck it up anyway by trying to appeal to the masses too.
