Careful, Modding Mass Effect 3 Gets You Banned From Origin

We’ve seen a fairly significant number of fan-created modifications for Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 over the years, but unfortunately BioWare has determined that they don’t want fans to tinker with any such modifications on Mass Effect 3. In fact, modifying even a single file of your Mass Effect 3 installation, even if it only applies to the single player campaign, will get your account banned from Origin. I’ll let BioWare’s Thomas Abram sum it up:

To confirm, YES you will be banned if Origin picks up that you modified SP which it scans for on ME3 launch.

He then locked the thread, so you’ll have to take any complaints you might have elsewhere. Thanks for the tip, Garriath.
