ME1 Ilos MAKO bug
So I'm almost done with ME1 LE, and I'm on Ilos doing the trench run. However, at one point there is a massive ledge that I dropped down on foot (I thought I couldn't bring the MAKO). I thought it di...

Sorry but that is not a bug. You can't blame the game because you choose to go on foot during a mission called "race against time" instead of using a much faster vehicle. Also this happens to the end of game and by that time you should have notice that there is not much hands holding (which I greatly appreciate) so you are king of responsible for your actions including how often you save. Just as well as if you have too much damage on Mako and not enough omnigel to repair it and gets destroyed before reaching the conduit.
I understand you are frustrate because what happens but is no one to blame here. Also pay attention to what happened here because ME2 and ME3 are even less forgiving in terms of decisions.
@sweetpoison0011 It is fundamentally not part of the game design of mass effect that you should restart the entire game if you make a mistake. That is not the intention of the developers, so it's a bug
- @Rasmus3112 Sorry if you considered my reply as being rude.
- @sweetpoison0011 Hey, thanks for getting back to me, and sorry if I was a bit quick on the trigger there. I appreciate the help via PM, so thanks for taking the time
- @Rasmus3112 Let me know if you manage to solve the problem, maybe will helps more players in similar situation.
- @sweetpoison0011 This is clearly a bug - the original ME1 actually took steps to block players from going down there on foot. It was a simple QoL/lifesaver feature removed by accident.
https://v.redd.it/854661pfgn571I just tested that and you can easily got by this barrier if you only try for a few seconds, at least on a PC.
I don’t have a save for the MELE at Vigil on ilos so I can`t test it there right now.
99.9% of all of the other time you spend in the mako you're supposed to be able to exit and enter the vehicle, including on the trench run to visit Vigil the prothean VI..
It sucks that it happened though but its part of the games mechanics, nothing else.
Have you tried loading an autosave? Also i know in ME2 there's a "restart mission" save that you can run, try looking for that.
Outside of that, i'm sorry mate but you're out of luck
It isn't against the game design. That's why they have a hard save option. You should. Everyone should. Saving is part of the game. Not saving through the entire game so you have to replay it is, user error. Just because one does not like a fact, does not mean it is not a fact.
For everyone with this problem playing on PC, there is a Mod on Nexus Mods that allows you to enable the in game console.
With that you can summon the Mako.
