Mass Effect Hints

Return the Package

  • 1 of 6: Once you have the package, you have a number of choices on what to do with it.
  • 2 of 6: The most obvious one is to return to Merchant Opold and give him the package for a reward. Using a persuasion option will get you more credits.
  • 3 of 6: You could return to Opold and tell him that you're keeping the package. He won't like that, but it will add a randomly chosen mod to your inventory that's appropriate for your experience level. (Also, you'll get to fight some krogans in the south half of the docking bay the next time you go there.)
  • 4 of 6: You could turn the package over to Administrator Anoleis in his office in exchange for a garage pass. (This is one option for finishing the "Noveria: Leave Port Hanshan" mission's third objective.) If you're charming or intimidating enough, you can even get the package back to receive the mod described in the previous option.
  • 5 of 6: NOTE: If you're going to give the package to Anoleis, you should first refuse to give it to Opold so you can get some XP from the krogan combat, and then go see Anoleis.
  • 6 of 6: One final option is to use a persuasive dialogue to get Opold to tell you that the package's recipient is Inamorda, who's hanging around on the upper floor of the hotel mezzanine. You can go sell the package to him for a bit more money than Opold would give, plus some Renegade points.
