I don't know who's saying they "hate yapping." I'm here for the yapping. I wanna hear your thoughts and see your reactions. You are a blast! If I just wanted gameplay, I'd load the game up myself.
The uploads being this frequent feels like a dream Ace! We can't thank you enough for providing such good content consistently! 13:50 Oh Man, you just got the first glimpse of one of the best tracks in the entire series: I Was Lost Without You by Sam Hulick. This song is associated with the romances, and let me tell you, I hits hard for us who choose Tali, trust me! Here's some non-spoiler hints, just in case: Make sure to listen around the dialogue when walking. That's how we get sidequests in ME 3; War Assets is the key in this game. Make sure to do all quests you can and fully explore the Galaxy Map. If you get around 7800 assets by the end, one of the endings will massively improve(Not telling how, obviously, just letting you know); Just to be sure, when you acquire a Codex dossier about a antagonist later on, read it as soon as possible. Trust me, it'll ensure someone's survival. Can't wait for the rest of this journey! Most of us recommend Grissom Academy and Eden Prime next, you'll understand why when playing them, but we're with you and all your personal choices till the end!
For the reputation bar, it’s basically your paragon + renegade. When you are more paragon, the more blue your rep bar is, while the bar gets more orange the more renegade you are. The benefit of this is that for any paragon/renegade speech checks, it’s not dependant on your individual paragon or renegade levels, but on your total rep bar size, giving you much more freedom with your dialogue choices.
@@ygruzy Considering the comments by main head Mike Gamble given on Twitter, and the fact they hired one of the main writers from Deus Ex(A series known for choices massively impacting all the games), I think we're in the clear with ME 5!
8:33 yes, you're correct. If you tell her to go to the labs, you can recruit Dr. Michel as the Normandy doctor. Believe it or not, if you're trying to max out your assets, recruiting Michel over Chakwas is the "correct" choice. But who does that? 🤭😁
The story Vega tells during your sparring match, about a colony coming under collector attack, that's the story told in the anime Paragon Lost. It's worth the watch.
Another tip. You don't need to wait until you've completed a mission to return to a star system if the Reapers invade. You can simply exit and re-enter the system if the Reapers almost catch you.
Male Shepard is a more developed person in this game, you see his doubts and frustration. I also think Mark Meer was directed to be more of a person in ME3.
A bit of advice from a veteran Engineer fanboy; direct your squadmates! Putting them in forward positions to distract alongside your drone and sentry is crucial in later, more difficult missions. This is especially effective with James and other tanky squadmates, who possess both the bulk and firepower to work on the front line. Also, I can't remember if the codex covers them or not, but use tech combos! They allow you to do massive amounts of burst damage, and can eat through health protections like shields, barriers and armor very quickly.
6:25 Just gotta say... those exist. The Illiad and The Oddesy written by Homer (I'm pretty sure that was a codename for several authors working on the same books) have existed for thousands of years.
I really appreciate you not punching the female reporter. A lot of people think it´s funny, but i am with you. Also i do not know, maybe some suggested it already, but make sure, you play the citadel dlc at the end of the game. It is a great dlc, but it is even greater at the end. I love your videos! Thank you for being so funny and kind :D
Yes, Liara is the BEST romance for both male and female Shepard. The fact that Liara is the only squad member who will survive 100% into the ME3 no matter what you choose, while others have a chance to die. Also Liara rescuing Shepard's body to bring Shepard back says a lot how much she is invested in Shepard. Also Shepard can have romantic interactions with Liara from the very beginning of ME3 and she is much more useful for Shepard, that's why the developers made huge care in the Liara romance line. On others as well but it is not as elaborated as Liara's. the Shadow Broker DLC romance are independent from ME2, so technically you could have romanced both Liara and Tali in ME2 without any repercussions and still the game counted as you didn't romance Liara. You choosing Tali this time you won't see her until quite a good while in this game and I've heard a lot of Tali romance people got disappointed in the end of what they got, but hey, they chose that romance line, so they should have known that kiss cannot happen through the suit. xD Also if Shepard won't romance Tali, she'll end up finding love somewhere else. Also if you want to know James' story, there is an Animated movie called "Paragon Lost" where James is the main protagonist and it is about the story you heard on his "dancing lesson."
I've been loving the playthrough and the effort and love you have for the platform shows really well. Can't believe you're already at mass effect 3 but here are some tips I'd like every new player to know at least. Always explore the normandy after every mission even if nothing changes its important for this game Explore everywhere you go that's where you'll find most of your armor And lastly priority missions are the absolute last thing you want to do if you decide you want to do a majority of the side missions (except for priority eden prime you can do that whenever but preferably earlier the better I promise) But I hope you enjoy the third installment of this great franchise and excited what you'll play afterwards!
Ace some friendly non-spoiler advice. I would recommend playing into your strength during battle. Using fortification on an Engineer is a waste of an ability to dump points in. Also Engineers usually have a stay back behind cover type of fighting style by letting your Drone and Turret to do the majority of the work.
dude i love admiral hacket he's got such a great voice and stuff, he also plays the old guy in detroit become human, and anderson plays sgt foley in the original modern warfare 2 (such great voice actors) edit: a little tip your war assets WILL be very important teehee ( and u get em by doing side quests and exploring worlds) also here's a hand🖐 another lil edit lmfao they keep coming: anyways idk if u noticed but the cannibals (enemies in the 1st missionà) are converted batarians just like the marauders on the moon of palavan pretty cool and messed up
They brought the body of the robot woman on board the normandy because it had the prothean data you needed. Its a woman because it was used to infiltrate the base on mars. Kinda like a black widow type
You should try always to do the priority missions last and always look around for things on all missions they can help you with other missions such as fetch quests sometimes when you don't pick up a quest item you can find it at the specter requisition terminal and buy it
Everyone always assumes that I don't like brosheps voice acting. But i think Mark Meer did an excellent job. He's a dudes dude. So there's not always gonna be a big dramatic flexibility in his diolog. But I think it fits broshep perfectly. Him and Jennifer Hale knocked it out of the park. Glad to see garrus back in the saddle. Great job commander 🫡
These games have some great romance storylines, really enjoy them all, but Liara is definitely my canon space soul mate. The romance with Ashley is also surprisingly sweet, and romancing her in me1 makes the scenes with her in me2 have that much more weight.
This was a meaty episode, I just couple afford to make it longer because too long of videos put some people off, and it would've taken forever to render the video and I might not have gotten it fully out in time to make my schedule 😕, but the next episode IS recorded already where I see, IT 🫡
@@KingdomAce I agree with this comment. It's an iconic video quoted by every Mass Effect fan. Even the voice actors quote it all the time. Tho you should probably do it after you finished with Mass Effect 3.
Just to clear some story details up! Because Anderson was on Earth and Udina was his advisor, Udina was made acting Councilor. Also, Shep *can* be reinstated as a Spectre unofficially in ME2, only because the Council wants them regulated to just the Terminus systems, where the Council has no influence. Here in ME3, they have the "political power" to reinstate you fully.
That's incorrect. Anderson resigned before the Invasion and Shepard's reinstatement ( in ME2 if you choose it ) if completely official. In ME3 your spectre status either UPHELD ( if it was reinstated in ME2 ) or you're reinstated.
Even outside of the campy memes, I genuinely love his performance. I do think there are some femshep scenes that she blows his VO outta the water. But I just feel that people use that fact to completely undermine the quality of malesheps work.
Maleshep sounded weird and janky to me in ME1 but ME2 and 3 was a lot better imo I blame the direction and not him though, femshep I clicked with right away.
9:00 if you don't take Dr Chakwas back you end up taking Dr Michelle instead. It's nice to see some different stuff with Michelle around and you technically get more war assets for having Dr Chakwas doing research but I usually take her anyway for the same reasoning you gave.
Remember, it's possible for Chakwas to die at the end of ME2. So, yes, Bioware HAD to include an alternate doctor. (Just for info, Dr Michel is far less interesting as the ship's doctor than Chakwas. I've only chosen her once, and although she says the few things that are necessary for the plot, I never felt that Bioware tried to give her a real personality or backstory.)
In my Mass Effect run I only romanced Kaiden. And once Thane to get the achievement. Ah… the entanglements of multiple romances… they are uncomfortable aren’t they. Haha.
Hey here's a gameplay tip for a good Garrus build! Its actually broken and want you to experience it lol. But you'll have to realine his skill points or get more. You'll need to put on his armor that gives him 25% damage, the typhoon assault rifle with both clip boost and damage boost mods. As for skills, you need to get the weapon damage plus 50% under Assault, health and damage boost by 20% plus Pierce in the 6th slot under AP Ammo, and weapon damage 100% under Turian Rebel. Hope you try it cause its amazing!
The Reapers don't wipe out all species. They allow more primitive species to exist until they evolve. Every species you see in this game was spared during the last harvest. Humans were still basic hunter gatherer nomads 50,000 years ago.
@@CarlosHuiskens No it's not. Sovereign literally tells you in ME1 on Virmire. "We wait for organic civilization to evolve, reach its apex, and then they are destroyed." (not word for word)
@@willvr4 You can literally rewatch the entire dialogue on RUclips. While it clarifies that Reapers allow species to reach their Apex he NEVER explicitly states that they don't wipe out all species. That is only something that is clarified and revealed later in ME3. Simply put there is no reason to reveal this information to him if he'll experience it himself later into the game.
@@CarlosHuiskens If they wiped out all organic life, there simply wouldn't be a need for the cycles in the first place to "put order in place of chaos"...it's easily inferred that they don't wipe out all life. It's not a spoiler.
guys wanna know one of the most obscure lore bits in ME? :D there seems to be some kind of "romantic connection =/= rivalry" between Wrex and Aria there was alot of speculations about it with some in game hints from both of them, and if im not mistaken one of the devs confirmed it or made some "joke no joke" comment about. If u like ME lore i most definately recommend diving in about it
@lucas.n.carvalho.artist Mordin? XD bruh who ever they were they ingaged in a brawl and ended up in a stand still xD I don't think mordin could on take aria, and it was way before events of ME1 which makes it even less possible for any salarian. No this whole theory started from Wrexs stories about his past life in ME1
You bought piercing mod rank 1 Ace, that was a 2 that you picked up ME3 takes what you purchased into account until you max out the weapon or mod at rank 4, and give sabotage a quick read so that you understand it's use. Also do just a bit of research on the combo system that is new in ME3 and me telling you this is not really a spoiler as Bioware announced this before release of the game. James carnage is a great detonator :) so choosing your squadmates based on how they compliment your playstyle becomes a thing in ME3. BTW ME3 is the easiest of the 3 mass effect games ...:( ME2 insanity is the hardest.
Gotta agree on ME2 insanity --- less in combo power compared to advancements in ME3 - even way more in Andromeda. That said, I did ME2 on Insanity and jeebus that collector ship sucked rofl. Horizon was as well in parts. Love watching KA because he's a thinker ... a good one compared to so many other playthroughs I've watched. That alone makes me "want" his feedback and comments. Kudos to him!
Always do new sidemissions befor you do big story missions. Or you'll loose many allies and old friends. The missions are only avaible befor certain story points.
Just a helpful note .... team members have unlimited ammo and never reload. So, don't waste mods on their weps for that - go all in for damage, piercing, etc. Someone can correct me here, but I also don't believe weight plays a role for team members like it does for you. Team member talents an impact you though, as you've probably read.
If u spec full cyro blast and incinerate, and use cryo blast like you're using sabotage now, you can get 125% damage boost. If you get sabotage to max level you will get 225% damage boost on your incinerate. Sabotage is almost doing nothing for you rn. Also, if you feel like you're still squishy, energy drain would synergize beautifully with ur build imo
Just so you know your Sabotage ability is a hacking ability I think. So using it against the meaty guys doesn’t really do anything. It’s useful against hacking turrets and other robotic type enemies.
Liara is the most typical anime trope man! Childhood friend never wins :,( I was confused why Tali wasn't a romance option in the first game, because I started from ME2 and was like why??? She is the best! It was heartbreaking to reject Liara in me1, if I couldn't romance tali I wouldn't romance at all! But ngl Liara has a very special place in my heart, I truly belive in some ways she is the closest person to Shepard, even more than Tali, she gets him, is it the mind link or what I don't know
Liara works perfectly for both Shepards. On the other hand, MaleShep fits best with Tali and FemShep with Garrus. This just goes to show how impactful and well-written the romances in Bioware games are!
don't know why, but for some reason I just can't take Liara romantically, she is forever in my friend zone. She is sweet, beautiful, smart, she has a great character. The game's narrative makes her an ideal love interest, but it just doesn't resonate with me
@@ИмяФамилия-я9з1к for me Liara was always more than a friend, her and Garrus are the closest people Shep has. The relationship with them is something else, its not romantic, familial but not really, its something different. Its like there is no Shep without Garrus AND Liara. They are like mirrors to Sheps best qualities, Garrus being the mirror to Sheps loyalty, courage, determination and of course humour) and Liara is a mirror to Sheps compassion, selflessness, empathy and faith. When these three are together they become almost more than just people, in context of the story they become literal paragons. But when they loose each other those qualities get twisted and we see the the other side of that "mirror", Garrus become ruthless and brutal. Liara becomes cold and apathetic. I truly believe Shep coming back to life saved them from crossing that point of no return, falling into abyss so to speak. Thats why for me Garrus and Liara are closer then Tali in some ways, its like equal amount of attachment but in different types u know. Im sorry im just yapping at this point, its just original ME is my favourite story in all like media, and every now and then I stumble upon content about the trilogy and just cant stop talking about it :D
@@Bkn_zv I agree, they are both inseparable from Sheppard. Oh, and I'm a huge simp for Garrus 😁 he's the best fictional man of all time. Looks like Liara just isn't my type. I really love her though, but not as a romantic partner.
And I know this is a pain but you really should talk to all your crew members between missions they frequently have new dialogue and it's a way to up your reputation
Playing on Insanity, as an Engineer, and only using pistols? Gotta give you credit for not holding back. You're going to have some long fights. But please learn to use the radar to spot enemies! Sad to see you keep getting shot in the back.
There is a pistol, maybe more than one, that packs a serious punch. With good aim/headshots it's devasting and 1-hit, especially if you use a particular power as well.
I don’t know about that. After playing Femshep he seems a little flat. But there is one particular place in the Citadel DLC where he responds to his love interest, “The best.” Mark Meer did it waaayyyy better. The emotion and thoughtfulness still gives me chills. That and “We’ll bang, okay.” lol
sorry for the second comment, but I watch this with breaks because lack of time don't forget to get better weaposn even for your team, try to specialize them and don't forget upgade their weapon with mods and newer versions too if you plan to play insanity it may save your neck later on also, why the groaning? you decided to go for a love triangle 😀 nah, just kidding 🙂
Cmon....remember when you played this the first time and the sense of discovery you had? Ace would like that too. I think he's okay with general tips/direction but don't spoil elements of the story.
@@MattRowland You make a good point. It is just natural that we want to spare him the pain of f*cking up big in this game. So sorry in advance if we talk too much^^

Oh 1000000000% the truth!
Same. I will say Maleshep is pretty dull in the first game, but he improves with each sequel.
James is voiced by Freddie Prince Jr. if you're young enough to remember who that is haha

As for skills, you need to get the weapon damage plus 50% under Assault, health and damage boost by 20% plus Pierce in the 6th slot under AP Ammo, and weapon damage 100% under Turian Rebel. Hope you try it cause its amazing!
The Reapers don't wipe out all species. They allow more primitive species to exist until they evolve. Every species you see in this game was spared during the last harvest. Humans were still basic hunter gatherer nomads 50,000 years ago.
My friend that counts as a spoiler. He isn't that far yet and that piece of information isn't revealed until later.
@@CarlosHuiskens No it's not. Sovereign literally tells you in ME1 on Virmire. "We wait for organic civilization to evolve, reach its apex, and then they are destroyed." (not word for word)
@@willvr4 You can literally rewatch the entire dialogue on RUclips. While it clarifies that Reapers allow species to reach their Apex he NEVER explicitly states that they don't wipe out all species. That is only something that is clarified and revealed later in ME3.
Simply put there is no reason to reveal this information to him if he'll experience it himself later into the game.
@@CarlosHuiskens If they wiped out all organic life, there simply wouldn't be a need for the cycles in the first place to "put order in place of chaos"...it's easily inferred that they don't wipe out all life. It's not a spoiler.
It would take way more time for sentient life to develop and reach it's Apex if the reapers killed ALL organic life.
The stakes are high in me3 a bit of renegade to get through to folks may be required
Will keep that in mind 🫡
@@KingdomAce Guarantee you are going to want to provide some physical punishment to some NPCs along the way! I did and it felt sooooooo good!
guys wanna know one of the most obscure lore bits in ME? :D
there seems to be some kind of "romantic connection =/= rivalry" between Wrex and Aria
there was alot of speculations about it with some in game hints from both of them, and if im not mistaken one of the devs confirmed it or made some "joke no joke" comment about.
If u like ME lore i most definately recommend diving in about it
@@Bkn_zv Wasn't it about Mordin and Aria? I'm pretty sure this is the case, and not Wrex.
@lucas.n.carvalho.artist Mordin? XD bruh who ever they were they ingaged in a brawl and ended up in a stand still xD I don't think mordin could on take aria, and it was way before events of ME1 which makes it even less possible for any salarian.
No this whole theory started from Wrexs stories about his past life in ME1
You bought piercing mod rank 1 Ace, that was a 2 that you picked up ME3 takes what you purchased into account until you max out the weapon or mod at rank 4, and give sabotage a quick read so that you understand it's use. Also do just a bit of research on the combo system that is new in ME3 and me telling you this is not really a spoiler as Bioware announced this before release of the game. James carnage is a great detonator :) so choosing your squadmates based on how they compliment your playstyle becomes a thing in ME3. BTW ME3 is the easiest of the 3 mass effect games ...:( ME2 insanity is the hardest.
Gotta agree on ME2 insanity --- less in combo power compared to advancements in ME3 - even way more in Andromeda. That said, I did ME2 on Insanity and jeebus that collector ship sucked rofl. Horizon was as well in parts. Love watching KA because he's a thinker ... a good one compared to so many other playthroughs I've watched. That alone makes me "want" his feedback and comments. Kudos to him!
@@crisanderson848 could not agree more :)
Always do new sidemissions befor you do big story missions. Or you'll loose many allies and old friends. The missions are only avaible befor certain story points.
Welcome back to the two most important members of the Normandy. Mr. Vakarian and the illusive space hamster. 🫡
YES YES YES
Just a helpful note .... team members have unlimited ammo and never reload. So, don't waste mods on their weps for that - go all in for damage, piercing, etc. Someone can correct me here, but I also don't believe weight plays a role for team members like it does for you. Team member talents an impact you though, as you've probably read.
If u spec full cyro blast and incinerate, and use cryo blast like you're using sabotage now, you can get 125% damage boost. If you get sabotage to max level you will get 225% damage boost on your incinerate. Sabotage is almost doing nothing for you rn. Also, if you feel like you're still squishy, energy drain would synergize beautifully with ur build imo
Just so you know your Sabotage ability is a hacking ability I think. So using it against the meaty guys doesn’t really do anything. It’s useful against hacking turrets and other robotic type enemies.
Please react to austin powers in mass effect
Liara is the most typical anime trope man! Childhood friend never wins :,(
I was confused why Tali wasn't a romance option in the first game, because I started from ME2 and was like why??? She is the best! It was heartbreaking to reject Liara in me1, if I couldn't romance tali I wouldn't romance at all!
But ngl Liara has a very special place in my heart, I truly belive in some ways she is the closest person to Shepard, even more than Tali, she gets him, is it the mind link or what I don't know
I do love Liara dearly, even tho I chose Tali, I do think Liara narratively fits the best with Shepard in my own personal opinion.
Liara works perfectly for both Shepards. On the other hand, MaleShep fits best with Tali and FemShep with Garrus. This just goes to show how impactful and well-written the romances in Bioware games are!
don't know why, but for some reason I just can't take Liara romantically, she is forever in my friend zone.
She is sweet, beautiful, smart, she has a great character. The game's narrative makes her an ideal love interest, but it just doesn't resonate with me
@@ИмяФамилия-я9з1к for me Liara was always more than a friend, her and Garrus are the closest people Shep has. The relationship with them is something else, its not romantic, familial but not really, its something different. Its like there is no Shep without Garrus AND Liara. They are like mirrors to Sheps best qualities, Garrus being the mirror to Sheps loyalty, courage, determination and of course humour) and Liara is a mirror to Sheps compassion, selflessness, empathy and faith.
When these three are together they become almost more than just people, in context of the story they become literal paragons. But when they loose each other those qualities get twisted and we see the the other side of that "mirror", Garrus become ruthless and brutal. Liara becomes cold and apathetic. I truly believe Shep coming back to life saved them from crossing that point of no return, falling into abyss so to speak.
Thats why for me Garrus and Liara are closer then Tali in some ways, its like equal amount of attachment but in different types u know.
Im sorry im just yapping at this point, its just original ME is my favourite story in all like media, and every now and then I stumble upon content about the trilogy and just cant stop talking about it :D
@@Bkn_zv I agree, they are both inseparable from Sheppard. Oh, and I'm a huge simp for Garrus 😁 he's the best fictional man of all time. Looks like Liara just isn't my type. I really love her though, but not as a romantic partner.
And I know this is a pain but you really should talk to all your crew members between missions they frequently have new dialogue and it's a way to up your reputation
Bro Shepard good but female Shep hit different but you would have to hear her
Are you using mods for this game?
Playing on Insanity, as an Engineer, and only using pistols? Gotta give you credit for not holding back. You're going to have some long fights. But please learn to use the radar to spot enemies! Sad to see you keep getting shot in the back.
There is a pistol, maybe more than one, that packs a serious punch. With good aim/headshots it's devasting and 1-hit, especially if you use a particular power as well.
Male Shep has a way more iconic voice
I don’t know about that. After playing Femshep he seems a little flat. But there is one particular place in the Citadel DLC where he responds to his love interest, “The best.” Mark Meer did it waaayyyy better. The emotion and thoughtfulness still gives me chills. That and “We’ll bang, okay.” lol
Debatable
All the breakups are painfull. Well, Ash/Kaiden are a bit easier.
At least Kaiden takes it well, Ash is bitter af.
sorry for the second comment, but I watch this with breaks because lack of time
don't forget to get better weaposn even for your team, try to specialize them and don't forget upgade their weapon with mods and newer versions too
if you plan to play insanity it may save your neck later on
also, why the groaning? you decided to go for a love triangle 😀
nah, just kidding 🙂
Well. I guess Tali is beter then Kaiden atleast
10000% I'm sure
@@focusmage1480 bruh Morinth is better than Kaidan wdym xD
Guess? It's pretty much a fact.
Bro, the asari woman who was saying she wanted a gun? Keep coming back to them throughout your gameplay. It's related to your pilot.
I'll do my best to check frequently 🫡
I don't think he needed to know that last part man
And don't give her one. Ever.
Cmon....remember when you played this the first time and the sense of discovery you had? Ace would like that too. I think he's okay with general tips/direction but don't spoil elements of the story.
@@MattRowland You make a good point. It is just natural that we want to spare him the pain of f*cking up big in this game. So sorry in advance if we talk too much^^
