In Mass Effect 2: LOTSB, characters such as Miranda Lawson and Tali'Zorah received dossier files which go into explicit detail regarding their private lives, including intimate details that are never mentioned nor spoken of within the context of Mass Effect 2, nor are they referenced ever again in the series. While BioWare made sure to rework several shots and animations in Mass Effect Legendary Edition so as to better serve both narrative and emotional content, not 'anatomy'; these dossiers were ultimately left untouched - ensuring that the more egregious damage done to these characters remained intact. 

This mod rewrites and replaces the multiple dossier entries for Miranda and Tali, as well as Jacob Taylor and Kasumi Goto in order to bring further narrative content and context to these characters. Each entry, whether rewritten or replaced - will now specifically tie-in to the overall story of Mass Effect 2 (mainline, characters, and world info) as well as previous events in ME1. 

What content was re-written/replaced?

Miranda Lawson: 

• Extranet activity has been partially reworked, removing instance of "Men are from Omega Women are from Illium".
• Any and all content relating to iFinder/'Personal Correspondence' messages has been replaced with "Intercepted Cerberus Communications".
• Partial rewrites of "Excerpt from Chat", with specific attention paid to making the relationship and conversation between Miranda and Oriana feel awkward, if not more genuine. This includes reworking the 'Dear Dinah' segment to better fit the context of their conversation.
• Medical Correspondence email has been completely replaced, now featuring a new "Excerpt from Chat 2" between Miranda and Oriana.
  

Tali'Zorah vas Normandy:

• Complete replacement of "Suit Process Log" with a conversation between Rael'Zorah and Tali'Zorah during the events of Mass Effect 1 (relating to the Geth Data quest).
  

Jacob Taylor:

• Complete replacement of "Workout Routine" with an After Action Report (AAR) regarding Jacob's presence on Eden Prime during the Geth attack (mentioned in conversation post-Reaper IFF).
  

Kasumi Goto

• Complete replacement of "Poetry Logs" with an email from an insurance investigations group regarding the theft of art, historical artifacts and misc. items by certain individuals, tying in to Kasumi's "Personal Correspondence" with a member of the Blue Suns.
  

IMPORTANT NOTE: Entries such as "Excerpt from Chat 2", and "Intercepted Quarian Communications" currently do not yet have plot tags set up the same way that "Excerpt from Chat 1" does, in that the entry will be unavailable to read if Miranda does not speak with Oriana during her loyalty mission. For the sake of of continuity, at this time it is required that you encourage Miranda to speak with Oriana in order for the mod to make sense narratively.


Can this mod be used during an active save?

Yes! However there is currently no other language active for this mod other than English (even though non-INT TLK files are included) - I didn't want to translate it myself as I'm unsure that using Google Translate or other programs would use awkward/incorrect wording and may make this mod illegible for reading by non-English speaking users. 

If you are able to assist in helping me translate this mod into a different language, please let me know!

INSTALLATION/UNINSTALL:

1) Download the mod, drag and drop the .7z file onto ME3Tweaks Mod Manager to install it. Click the apply button.

2) To uninstall, ensure you have LE2 selected in the installation target dropdown, and select Manage Target. Clicking the delete button next to Dossiers Reworked will remove the mod from the game.

Please note that this mod is flagged as a false positive for Windows Defender, regarding it as a Trojan - supposedly Take Earth Back is also experiencing a similar issue, and unfortunately there is no way to resolve this as of yet. You will need to disable Windows Defender's Real-Time Protection in order to install it to ME3Tweaks.
