A space adventure for day traders
Mass Effectis one of those series that we’ve played so many times, sometimes it can be fun to load up a mod for the sake of switching things up a bit. You could always go for the expanded armory or expanded galaxy, or even try the Take Back Earth mod if you really want to make it interesting. Of course, I’m sure there are some crypto bros out there who are alsoMass Effectfans, or at the very least, some people who want to try to game a stock market in a low-stakes environment. Or maybe they just hate the probing mini-game. Who’s to say?
Either way, thisMass Effect Legendary Editionmod might be for you. It’s calledNos Astra Mineral Exchange(created by beccatoria and Team Pyjak), and adds a whole galactic stock market toMass Effect 2, which allows players to trade money and resources. (Thanks,PC Gamer.) Basically, you can either trade mineralsandmine them, or just forgo the probing altogether.
There are also new missions attached to the mod as well, which include new voice lines for existing characters with AI dialogue tool xVASynth thanks to the work of modder Gaige Barker.
To gain access to the newly available stock market, players will first need to head to the Crescent Nebula, then to the Asari world of Illium, then to the capital city of Nos Astra, and then finally to the docks entrance where public trading terminals can be found. There’s also a terminal on the Shadow Broker’s ship, if that’s more convenient.
The mod’s site even details theMass Effect 2stock market’s exchange rate, which is the kind of thing I don’t really get, but go nuts if you’re into that sort of thing. Nos Astra Mineral Exchange is available to download on NexusMods orMod DB— just ensure you have theME3 Tweaks Mod Managerready to go first.
