I am sure she remembered that later on. I went paragon so I don't quite see why she was calling me a bully. Regardless, she was throwing insults the moment she arrived.
"A bully has few friends when he needs them the most." Which is very goddamn true. the salarians are the biggest bully in this case, & well, look where it got them...
She should of heeded her own warning, because it looks like she's the one with no friends. Meanwhile, the representatives of 3 races stride from the room as allies and friends in the Galaxies darkest hour.
Really it was mostly just the Dalatrass. STG and several other salarian contacts pretty much went straight behind the Dalatrass's back and sided with shepard.
godofawesum223 in retrospect can you really blame them? the salarian STG Are Soldiers first with no love of politics I imagine. all they may fear with the Krogan what do they know what's up in that it doesn't matter if the Galaxy is destroyed right now because of the Reapers
That's what fucked me up when the Salarian Dalatrass and Asari were being stubborn. I'm like, "Hello? Mortal enemies working together here. You guys can get aboard any time now."
An a salarian doctor thinks that curing the genophage is worthy of all the future problems because, if the Reapers won, there's no problems to talk about because they're all dead.
@@baddoer Well, if both Eve and Wrex survive then they'll keep other clans under control + they'll be too busy rebuilding their planet and restoring the society. Pretty sure they'll develop their own methods of population control to avoid pass mistakes. After all only a fool would go against the strongest clan lead by a female(they do have more authority due to their value and wisdom) and the Krogan that cured the genophage
They kinda have a Klingon and carnassial thing going on, both warriors, but in different ways, and they don’t like each other..except when a new enemy emerges
Dalatrass: But I warn you, Commander. The consequences- Shepard: -Will be nothing compared to what happens if the Reapers win! Surprisingly well timed interruption
Something notable about this conversation is that the krogan here, a race so often stereotyped as mindless and savage brutes, is being represented by one of the most charismatic and cunning of their kind, Urdnot Wrex, whereas the dalatrass reduces all of her natural great intelligence as a salarian to the point of acting childishly aggressive and disrespectful, needlessly spouting insults towards a krogan who has said nothing but the truth and spoken with a relatively calm tone of voice. I'm sure it was intentional on the writers' part, the stereotypes have been reversed here and it's pretty great.
Dalatrass is a poor leader who only barely won her election, and all of her power comes down to family wealth rather than actual merit. A salarian with true merit such as Mordin had no respect for her, I'm sure.
I wouldn't call Victus a "homie" since it gets proven later that he's not very honest with you. You also have to push him a little into helping you on Tuchunka.
The good thing I did its send Kaidan with kirrahe and his squad and then saved them an thanks to that they decided to help in any way they could even if their superiors didn't agree considering shepard an excellent ally
@@thundershark8681 You get Kirrahe and his men no matter what choices you make on Virmire. You can let either Ash or Kaiden die however you want but as long as Kirrahe survives you get the STG.
Narcissists can't comprehend it when their arrogance has resulted in the loss of allies. It's a symptom of the subconscious attitude that the universe revolves around yourself.
I feel the Dalatrass is really underselling Wrex, even the krogan. Sure, they had a exploding birth problem after the rachni war. Wrex had his life torn from him and all that and he thought he was just as worse. Then you come along. Paragon Shepard. You brought him along regardless of him being a merc. Treated him like a part of the team. You asked about his past and his family's armor that belonged to him. You got it back. Then it came down to Virmire and you managed to talk him out of it. You see him on Tuchanka as uniting the clans and what he learned from you. You fought to bring the one female back and cure the genophage, securing your place in legend. With Wrex, you secure a future for the Krogan AND their species as peaceful. The word Shepard means HERO!
"A bully has few friends when he needs them most!" She says as all three of you walk out of the room together, leaving her alone. Yeah, that statement REALLY hurts me.
Dalatrass: "A bully has few friends when he needs them the most." Shepard: "I'm going to launch you through the airlock." Wrex: "What?" Shep: "Blame Javik, he had a thing with airlocks" Wrex: "Sometimes I don't know if the Normandy is a warship or a Freak Show."

I appreciate this scene a lot. Three species standing in a room on civil terms. Considering one was betrayed by one, and the other two was only in war against each other 26 years ago. The start of a new era when the reapers are destroyed 🙂
I was never a big fan of the Salarians but Dalatrass really made me hate them (Mordin and Kirrahe are the exceptions). Trying to make my Shepard to betray one of her best friends.. Yeah thats not gonna happen.
I saved the krogan, rachni, geth and quarians. I imagine one or a few of them replace the asari on the council(you know they deserve to lose a lot more than that) and the salarians storm out making another seat or two available.
Maelon was also pretty okay and lets be honest, he is probably a living embodiment quote of the ‘ends justify the means’. Remember, if you delete his data, his unethical albeit hard work would be both for naught and you cannot create a cure properly without this data. Sure, his means were unethical, no question but his intent was in the right place. Most Salarians would not waste their short life on fixing practically immortal, neutered Krogan.
Linron is a politician. She might rule the Salarians, but she knows next to nothing about sullying her hands with hard work. And it shows, as STG and a large part of their military end up helping sheperd anyway, despite her crude misgivings.
The only thing that would have made this moment more satisfying is when she contacts Shepard asking him/her to backslide on the Krogan's and destroy the cure if Shepard had responded with "A bully has few friends when he needs them most" and cut comms
What's funny is that the Reapers totally ignored the Salarian worlds purely because they doesn't even considered the frogs worth the effort of a harvest.
Wrex & Grunt: Best Krogen in the galaxy. Legion: Best Geth in the galaxy. Garris: Best Turian in the galaxy. Mordin: Best Salarian in the galaxy. Tali: Best Quarian in the galaxy Thane: Best Drell in the galaxy
Should we even allow Andromeda into the Mass Effect canon? As far as I think, the canon end with Sheperd on the Citadel finding a way to stop the Reapers. No godchild, no circular logic, no slavery, genocide and especially not husk creation.
No need. She probably ended her own career with her own words. If not, her own backstabbing and scheming did the rest. Some people, you just give them a length of rope and watch them hang themselves.
Wrex wasn't that great in ME1, he was just the grizzled mercenary with a blunt, rough personality (dare I say initially Drack from Andromeda was a far better Krogan). He had his deep moments with him being against the general views of the Krogan and his hidden insecurity about the decline of his race, but really it wasn't until ME2 that he really started to come into his own and truly give him a unique fleshed out personality. ME2 massively evolved many of the companions from ME1, Liara went from innocent child like scientist to a toughened information broker (hell she was threatening people!), Garrus went from hot-shot cop chafing under the rules to hardcore badass vigilante, Kaiden/Ashley.....became absolute d!cks, Wrex went from impersonal merc to bromance leader, I think Tali was the one who changed the least and even she got a bit more experienced and level headed.
When I finally played Mordin's loyalty mission in ME2 I was in such a shock that I could not continue for some time... I always knew ME series are good, but I never expected something like this. I am a Chinaman, I know what birth control can do to a people and how scientifically justifiable it can seem. For decade we were told that we must control the birth rate at all cost or the world would be flooded with newborns depleting resources and for years under this name...things happened. It was a heavy topic that we still cannot tell right from wrong , and I never thought a video game could possible touch the subject with this level of decency and complexity. Such a great series...
does anyone notice wrex's diplomatic armor is the mercenary 1 type armor from mass effect 1, as apposed to the ceremonial krogan battlemaster armor? either way, wrex is still looking sharp
Messing with a krogan in Mass Effect is like messing with a Wookie in Star Wars. Not a smart thing to do. And yes i know this was probably not the best comparison. It was just a thought in my mind
Nah! wookie is definitely a fair comparison. Both relatively primitive and aggressive cultures. Both very Tribal. Both Brutal warriors. Both nearing extinction. Both are the last thing you want as an enemy and the most loyal friend you can have at your back. The only real difference is one is a giant two legged turtle and the other is a big ole sasquatch.
Actually Wookies aren't brutal warriors or of aggressive nature, as a whole Wookies regard themselves as artisans, not warriors. It's just that their physical traits are stronger than most aliens and they are intensely proud.
The hard truth is that the Dalatrass is right in a sense. All it takes to realize that is to not have Wrex around, because that leaves you with Wreav, the perfect argument against curing the Genophage when you realize he's a better representation of the majority of Krogan people than Wrex could ever be.
I'm a little proud that Wrex didnt growl at the Turian when he went to the data pad to play his evidence. I woulda done it if I were him Also this version of Shepard is uglier than a krogan.
That’s the downside to create your own character in mass effect. Original Shepard both male and female are AWESOME looking though. Though that’s probably obvious😅
@@rebel1717 You can make decent looking custom Sheps if you're willing to put in the effort (Especially if you're on PC, since you have access to mods).
@@erieriderschillingcorner1595 Yea, femshep has always been easier then dudeshep. I think I had to restart ME3 around 5 or 6 times before I got one that looked like a human.
One thing I really loved about these games is how no one race was generalized. Yes there were Humans and Turians who hated each other because of the First Contact War (and to an extend their reasons are understandable), but there were just as many who moved past it. Same with regards to the Krogan and their issues. It really made the characters feel like living people with their own opinions and feelings.
What is funny about the krogan is that they live so long. Some of them remember the war with the council. Their parents were uplifted. So for them they are definitely justified to be pissed.
*SIGH* Yeah...I really need to get the Legendary Edition. Never mind that I've played through all three games a thousand times to the point that I can just pull up nearly every scene in my head. Watching classic clips like this make me remember how much I loved this series.
You have to import a save from ME2 where Wrex is alive, which you do by either importing a ME1 save where he's alive or playing the interactive comic Mass Effect:Genesis before playing ME2 (it allows you to make 6 key decisions from ME1)
Wrex is a very straightforward character in the game, as is the Primarch because they both understand things from a soldier's point of view. Earning their trust by being honest and forward will (did) help more in the long run than playing politician while worlds burned. While helping the Krogan is a bonus, it's true I'm mostly doing this to get their help. But hey, if you have two problems that can't be fixed alone, why not let them fix each other?
It's so satisfying to see the Dalatras get owned with the truth, then have it rubbed in her face when the turian primarch agrees with a human and a krogan.
@@raylast3873 I remember that in the lab, Ann Bryson suggest that the lack of any sign of indoctrination means that the Rachni wasn't actually controled by Nazara, but by someone else. Shepard (or EDI) suggest the Leviathans.
That's the problem with the Salarian race, they're unable to think in a long term and see the big picture. This asshole of a Dalatrass is saying that uplifting the Krogan was a mistake, when they're trying to do the same with the Yagh, a race far worse than the Krogan.
indeed which is why I always choose to tell them about the deal the Dalatrass tried to broker with you, as while you can save Mordin and have him help you with the Crucible, Wrex/Wreav does later find out meaning you have to kill him.
Before Shepard leaves, I wish they would say something like "Lieutenant Vega, see to it that this sorry excuse for a Salarian gets her petty ass off my ship."

I don’t care whether mine looked human I just wanted shiny pink hair
Which I got
At the end I really wanted Shepard to have one more witty comeback, like:
"And she who thinks only of herself dies by herself."
One thing I really loved about these games is how no one race was generalized. Yes there were Humans and Turians who hated each other because of the First Contact War (and to an extend their reasons are understandable), but there were just as many who moved past it. Same with regards to the Krogan and their issues. It really made the characters feel like living people with their own opinions and feelings.
“A bully has few friends when he needs them the most.”
You would know.
1:47 back then it may have been like that. But Wrex is making them evolve.
The Krogan/Salarian story is my favourite part of ME3. It's so goooood
What is funny about the krogan is that they live so long. Some of them remember the war with the council. Their parents were uplifted. So for them they are definitely justified to be pissed.
She really walked right back in to tell her off
I never notice that Shepard rolls her eyes at Wrexs pontification when she walks in
4:12 i love this line. its most important now.
*SIGH* Yeah...I really need to get the Legendary Edition.
Never mind that I've played through all three games a thousand times to the point that I can just pull up nearly every scene in my head. Watching classic clips like this make me remember how much I loved this series.
...This made my day.
"A bully has few friends when he needs them most."
Look who's talking, Miss "It was the only way to keep their urges in check".
You have to import a save from ME2 where Wrex is alive, which you do by either importing a ME1 save where he's alive or playing the interactive comic Mass Effect:Genesis before playing ME2 (it allows you to make 6 key decisions from ME1)
"A bully has few friends when he needs them the most."
Should have been met with "Right, try to remember that".
You can choose whether to save him at the beginning of Mass Effect 2.
" a bully has few friend when he needs them most" said the lone dalatrass as the scene faded to black
auto played in the background and i genuinely thought it was a movie and i was deeply engrossed. holy shit
Damn right I do.
4:10 I swear to god I wish there was a Renegade button that had Shepard yell out "AND LOOK WHO'S STANDING ALONE!" as she walked away
Simplistic diplomacy.
Shaperd turns back and says is that why you're alone
DRAMATIC ZOOM-IN!
Paraagon prompt: shepard:says the one standing by herself.
Wrex is a very straightforward character in the game, as is the Primarch because they both understand things from a soldier's point of view. Earning their trust by being honest and forward will (did) help more in the long run than playing politician while worlds burned.
While helping the Krogan is a bonus, it's true I'm mostly doing this to get their help. But hey, if you have two problems that can't be fixed alone, why not let them fix each other?
the council of the four.
I thought shep was going to drop kick that salarian.
Shame there’s no option
Dalatrass: But I warned you commander! The consequences will come...
Shepard: Will be NOTHING compared to what happens if the Reapers win.
Wrex's face when he demands a cure for the genophage. XD
I’ll always stick up for my man Wrex who are you to judge me Dalatrass?
ahhh memory's
The Delatrass is worried about the future, but without the krogan, there won't _be_ a future to worry about.
You have a point since he's more interested in reclaiming former Krogan glory, but I guess I'll have to try it and see if he does or not.
Looks like Shepard's not the only one with a clone, it's his turn to bring down the shuttle though
It's so satisfying to see the Dalatras get owned with the truth, then have it rubbed in her face when the turian primarch agrees with a human and a krogan.
Dalatrass: I won't forget this commander!
Shepard: Stay mad.
Man Shepard was one most powerful and influential man in galaxy he own one to every top level politician in the galaxy.
Actually, the Rachni were being mind-controlled by Sovereign, under normal circumstances they‘re not mindless killers, either.
Leviathan DLC suggest that the Rachni was actually mind-controlled by the leviathans.
Daniel what why?
@@raylast3873 I remember that in the lab, Ann Bryson suggest that the lack of any sign of indoctrination means that the Rachni wasn't actually controled by Nazara, but by someone else. Shepard (or EDI) suggest the Leviathans.
@@varric No it was the Reapers.
The daletrass should listen to her own advice
The Turian has the voice of Beerus from DBZ
i can totally imagine the krogan/ salarian infiltrator with a camera hiding his identify by wearing an over coat and eyeglass mask
too afraid of krogans she's forgetting the reapers are an immediate and deadlier threat
That's the problem with the Salarian race, they're unable to think in a long term and see the big picture. This asshole of a Dalatrass is saying that uplifting the Krogan was a mistake, when they're trying to do the same with the Yagh, a race far worse than the Krogan.
i like wrex's dramatic pause ... a cure for the genophage- dun dun dunnn... wait,
The most awesome Krogon you'll meet in the ME trilogy. But only if u imported :)
Primarch victus looks cool.
I don't think I've ever had a playthrough where I play nice with the Dalatrass
Not even when Wreav is in the same room?!
indeed which is why I always choose to tell them about the deal the Dalatrass tried to broker with you, as while you can save Mordin and have him help you with the Crucible, Wrex/Wreav does later find out meaning you have to kill him.
Bully got a fucking bad ass krogan on its side
Before Shepard leaves, I wish they would say something like "Lieutenant Vega, see to it that this sorry excuse for a Salarian gets her petty ass off my ship."
0:59 Dramatic Dalatrass
Nakmor Drack was absolutely right when he said that the salarians and the kett are exactly the same.
Quick reminder that Sur'Kesh was the only homeworld not to suffer reaper invasion
That's only because the Reapers doesn't even consider them a real threat.
I wish Wrex was able to headbutt the Dalatross for disrespecting him and the krogan like that
0:51 epic krogan staring
1:30 pissed off krogan
