Mass Effect 2 is considered by many as the magnum opus of the entire franchise, and today we’ve got some great news for all Mass Effect 2 PC fans out there. Modder ‘LordEmil1’ has just released a mode that lets you experience the game from a completely different perspective, as it enables a first-person mode when you are exploring the game’s environments.
This first-person mod for Mass Effect 2 does not change the combat perspective (the game automatically switches to third-person mode when you are in combat) and is completely compatible with all the conversations (as they are using multiple different perspectives throughout the game).
What’s really interesting here is that the modder claimed that he has tried, and for the most part succeeded, making a Combat version of this mod. This first-person Combat mod is said to be far from being ready to be released because of some major issues with the camera clipping with Shepard’s body and head, though it appears that LordEmil1 does plan to release such a mod in the future.
Right now, this mod won’t be compatible with any other mod that changes the SFXGame.pcc file, so things like ME2Controller won’t be able to be used with it.
Those interested can download this first-person exploration mod for Mass Effect 2 from here.
Have fun!

What about combat?
And taking cover?
He forgot about this most important part.
It says in the article that he’s working on the combat mod.
The textures look pretty good with the Alot mod.
One of my favorite games of all time. I will be keeping an eye on this.
Wow that looks freakin Amazing. Feels like Deus Ex in Space, I would love that!
Hopefully the combat stuff works fine when it’s eventually done.
Finally, being able to stare at Miranda’s a*s even more than the game’s cinematic camera does.
I wonder if this makes the game better. Because…

This was the worst Mass Effect game.
Worse than 3?. I ‘like’ them in order, 1, 2, 3. Though the last boss in 2 was almost as bad as Bioshocks.
