All right, I hate to be "that guy," but "most hardest" is egregiously incorrect. It should just be "Top 10 Hardest Decisions in Mass Effect." --Anne L. Retentive
I preordered Deluxe on PC for like $90, despite being against preorders as a rule. My gpu died before release date. Imagine my frustration finding out there would be no dlc, or updates after 1.10. Im still bitter about it.
Andromeda does not even deserve to be called Mass Effect. After playing the whole trilogy I was wondering if Andromeda would bring something new, something interesting. It failed. I spent over 400 hours playing ME3. Andromeda? Around 50 or 60. Honestly I Felt like somebody Just stole my money.
I was so disappointed that the shop keepers didn't comment when I gave that same exact recording to all the other shops on the Citadel lol "but but but...I thought we were your favorite shop..."
One of my biggest disappointments about the ending of the trilogy was that the players don't get to see all the species that have been united combat the Reapers. I spared the Rachni Queen and the Geth because I wanted to see a bunch of bugs and robots fighting with the allies. What was the point of spending countless hours uniting the galaxy, if we don't get to witness all those factions in action? >:-(
High Heel Knight Well perhaps in a Trilogy Remastered we can get more cinematics for the final battle to include what was missing. I have hope for that.
(Rainbowhawk1993) I hope so too. And I hope for adequate ending of me3, not that stupid contrived coincidence about Catalyst and the "eternal conflict between the organics and synthetics", which we HAVE settled by making peace between quarians and geth! i hope for removing this nonsense in remake (if it happens, cause ea had put ME on hold).
High Heel Knight the ending was extremely rushed, but I agree. We needed to see the allies we made with our choices. We needed some tangible benefit to gaining them besides just points on the war board of whatever.
Why Andromeda's ending is good. you actually DO see all the guys you helped out show up to kick ass. Bioware probably wanted to do that for ME3 but EA was.. well... EA.
Kaidan, Ash is a completely racist bitch and you get to know Kaidan better and for longer, plus, he becomes much more interesting by the time ME3 rolls around than Ash does.
you never did get to know her then. she has a reason for the racism (her family served pretty heavily inj the first contact war) and by ME3, that racism is gone, as well, she sees the crew as family. regardless of species.
#6 was easy! Send Legion in the tube (geth can hack anything) Garrus leads the fire team. Mordin heads back with the survivors. Jack provides the biotic shield. Jack and Tali join Sheppard to the Human-reaper hybrid. Done (drops mic)
Everyone lived in my file and I had: Tali as the Specialist. Miranda lead the Fire Team. Mordin head back with the survivors. Samara provide the Biotic shield. Garrus and Jacob join Shepard to take on the human-reaper hybrid. I wonder how many right choices there are for the Suicide Mission
Ciarán O'Driscoll. yeah. It helps if you read the terminals in the Shadow broker's lair. I chose Garrus to lead cause the report on him said he had great leadership skills. He was just overshadowed by Sheppard. And Tali and Jack, cause they have the lowest combat skills for the final fire fight. With Sheppard I can insure that they survive.
Legion as techie (kind of a no brainer) Miranda as leader (basically volunteers) Samara as biotic (With jack in squad as supposed backup) Grunt as survivor escort (I mean he practically wants to draw enemy fire) Garrus and Tali for final fight (for old times sake, also to add another reaper kill to their belts) EZ
In my gameplay everyone survive too and it had: Tali as the specialist Garrus lead the fire team Jacob head back Samara provide the Biotic shield Garrus and Thane join Shepard to take on the human-reaper hybrid.
Tali as the tech person Miranda as the second team leader Mordin heads back with survivors Samara as the biotic escort Tali & Samara in the final fight. Did all the loyalty missions and everybody survived
Brendan Stiltner yes that was my squad line up most of the time when I had them excluding Thessia (where it was Liara and Javik) and Citadel (where it was Tali and Wrex) p.s. romanced Tali bromanced Garrus
Pancake Dog 1313 Out of all the mandatory deaths throughout the Mass Effect series, none pulled at my heart strings as much as Legion, as long as you keep him as a strong ally and treat him/it well that is :). Mass Effect is such a beautiful experience from start to finish in my opinion, it's borderline brilliant.
At the pharmacy I asked for 50 condom's. 2 girls behind me started laughing. I turned around, looked them straight in the eyes and said; "Make that 52"
For me its Joker!!!! He's always there for you in every game, hilarious, and One of the only ones who turns shepard down >_> Also how would shepard and the others have done anything without his ace pilot skills??!
i wouldn't exactly call Joker an underrated character, i have never seen a person who played mass effect and didn't like him. he is pretty much the funniest character in the whole trilogy, and he has a backstory and a personality. while Kaidan is definitely underrated by lots and lots of players for some reason, i have seen countless comments saying that he is boring and doesn't have a personality (which isn't true, by the way)
The ending of ME:3 makes more sense when you look at it over the course of the series. Saren wanted to merge organics with with synthetics. TIM wanted to control the Reapers to harbess their power for humanity. The only option that would make sense for Shepard is to destroy the Reapers. It makes sense that the star Catalyst would not be telling the truth that Shepard would die if he chose to destroy all Reapers as it embodies the collective consciousness and we all know how honest they are. So the ending of ME:3 isn't that tough a decision.
Not really. The catalyst says itself that the cycle obviously doesn't work seeing as Shepard is standing in front of it, so it would have no motivation to lie to them. It's a robot. It works purely off of logic and not emotion, so when it sees that it failed it gives Shepard the ability to alter the course of the cycle since the Catalyst isn't able to itself. If anything the endings are uncreative because each one you unlock with more war strength is obviously better than the previous one. Synthesis isn't even remotely close to what Saren wanted, it just changes the basic foundations of DNA structure in both organics and synthetics to eliminate the differences between them, not literally merge them. Control would also work vastly different seeing as TIM never had any idea what he was doing or how he would do it. Cerberus lording over the galaxy and Shepard taking the Catalyst's place are two very different outcomes.
@@butterysnail2537 the best ending you can get in ME 3 is destroying the reapers and surviving the blast (only obtainable with 7800 war assets minimum)
@@gerhardjanssen6822 its the hardest to obtain and probably the most feel-good ending, but the implications are still just as shit as the "regular" destroy ending. the mass relays are still destroyed and won't be rebuilt for decades at minimum, the galaxy will be uncoordinated because of their loss and probably fracture into hundreds of smaller planetary governments in the absence of any extra-planetary authority to help them survive on their own. I get why its the ending most people strive for but it still feels like I accomplished nothing by getting to that point. so one human survives the war, why is that supposed to matter when everything else is still screwed? I usually choose control now because I like to imagine Shepard has the reapers rebuild the relays and help restore stability before telling them to fuck off into dark space somewhere, with a couple reapers left behind to keep watch over things and alert the rest of them to come back if there's ever some galaxy-ending threat that they can help with. but I would imagine that since the rest of the galaxy has access to their tech they wouldn't make a huge difference anyway
@@butterysnail2537 idk, i get your reasoning as to why you'd feel control would be the better ending, but it stands too much on loose ends, the destroy ending destroys the reapers which has been something you've been fighting for since the first game tho it does come at the cost of the relays and synthetics, tho it is all able to be rebuild without any reaper threat. when i first completed me3 and chose the destroy ending and shepard ended up dying i was fucked up so when i discovered he could actually survive but only with the destroy ending i knew what i had to do and it's never felt so satisfying just wish they would've shown him eventually meeting back up with the crew or atleast getting in contact with civilization so we know he's actually alive and won't die after he's drawn 5 breaths
@@gerhardjanssen6822 just because its a more satisfying ending doesn't mean its what's best though. you're making a decision that affects an entire galaxy of trillions of people, probably more. its why I wish the ending gave a bit more closure generally but oh well. we got what we got I guess
I found that Ashely's character developed more in ME3 than Kaiden. She actually changed. Kaiden did not. And I saved him on my first playthrough, so I was not biased against him.
Trust me, when you’re on your 9th playthrough of the trilogy (like me at the moment), you know how to prove Tali’s innocence without getting her exiled, how to keep EVERYONE alive in the suicide mission, and exactly how to bring peace between the quarians and geth.
I replayed through the series this year. I let Ashley die because I had romanced Liara in Mass Effect. I found a ton of Kaidan dialogue I totally missed out on because I always chose Ashley in previous playthroughs. He's a fascinating, underappreciated and underrated character.
I've played through the entire trilogy, and I gotta say, each of these choices really were pretty gut-wrenching. But they're what make the 'Mass Effect' games as epic as they are. Can't wait to see what the newest entry offers up!
yep. Legion or Tali for tech specialist. Garrus for second team leader, pretty much anyone loyal for heading back with the surviving crew, Samara or Jack for the Biotic Barrier (Miranda says "theoretically any Biotic can do it" it's better to be sure and go with your two most powerful, obviously.)
@@pendraco2000 Legion, Tali, or Kasumi for tech specialist. Each of them is an expert at tech and hacking- I have tested and confirmed this. Garrus, Jacob, or Miranda all have prior experience leading a team *in combat* and will be successful as the Fire team 2 Leader- again, tested and confirmed. Jack, Miranda, or Samara for biotic barrier- I have not confirmed Miranda, but she should be a strong enough biotic for this and will be testing it on my current playthrough. For escort, Mordin, though I have a hypothesis that it is his experience in STG and being good at stealth that makes him good at this. If this is the case, the Kasumi or Thane would also work. I am currently replaying ME2 and plan to test this with both Than and Kasumi, to see what happens with each. Obviously, a save game will be required, which will come in handy in case my stealth hypothesis is incorrect.
@@Matthissounet No, it does not. I know this for a fact as I tested it to see what would happen if I used her for that task. Both times her barrier dropped right before getting to the end and a squadmate died due to her failure.
In my playthroughs, Ashley survived, every single time. However Zaeed's loyalty mission's choice is a hard one. Even as a paragon I always chose to let Zaeed have his revenge, but if I knew that theyre gonna one day fix the story and continue in a 4th and final game, I'd save the hostages and hopefully Zaeed could kill the guy in ME4.
I always choose Destroy. EDI and the Geth already decided that destroying the Reapers was worth "Non-functionality." Destroying the Reapers is the only way, in my opinion, to break the cycle
as much as i love the series i have to say this wouldn't be a good idea as the games are too interactive to translate well to a series/film as they have branching paths that if moved to the big screen the writers would have to choose one path and stick with it and you can guarentee whatever they choose will annoy someone.
Hard? Nah. Not at all. *10: Destroy:* Saren wanted Synthesis (bad guy.) Illusive Man wanted Control (bad guy.) Anderson wanted Destroy (good guy.) *9. Let the rachni queen live:* don't doom an entire species for previous actions. *8. Use charm/intimidation, duh:* exposing Rael'Zorah affects Tali, too; what he did wasn't unforgivable, either. *7. Save the civilians:* the end doesn't justify the means. *6. Use your damn brain to understand whom has the best chance at succeeding the suicide mission tasks:* common sense. *5. Cure the genophage:* again, don't doom an entire species. *4. Love interest? I guess it's up to you as a player... but Kaidan almost seem canon:* Shep was originally female. Ashley is the LI in the trailers for M!Shep, and Kaidan and Ashley are basically the same person in the later games. Kaidan is in the opening cutscene/first squad member. He was originally bisexual from the get-go, and nearly all the romance lines with M!Shep are voiced (including ME1, 2 and 3.) There's a lot of focus on him in all three games (ME1 Virmire, ME2 Horizon and ME3 Mars, all major plot-points in the franchise.) When Shepard looks upset in the ME2 DLC LoTSB, Liara immediately brings up Kaidan and the "hurtful things" he said to Shepard. Shepard is completely lost when he gets hurt on Mars whether romanced or not. His "after sex" scene in ME3 is unique to every other. BioWare tips more towards paragon Shep, and in Genesis, the paragon choice is choosing Kaidan to live. His "like losing a limb" line seems far more than just a little friendly. As a bonus, there's also a possible glitch in ME2 on the PS3 version where Kaidan's picture is in Shepard's cabin whether he is romanced or not. Also, Garrus and Tali can hook up, and they're awesome together. *EDIT:* I stand corrected; turns out they simply used a female model to do the first animations for Shep. *3. Save the Council:* humanity loses the trust of every other species by placing themselves first, and hell, this whole reaper situation is way bigger than humanity. *2. Again, use charm/intimidation:* convincing the geth and quarians to cooperate allows them both to live. *1. Save the one you sent to arm the bomb:* the one with the salarians says s/he can handle themselves while the other obviously struggles. The salarian team lives anyways if you know how to save them. Sending Ashley with the salarians is paragon and sending Kaidan is renegade. *Honorable mentions:* *Save the hostages:* again, the end doesn't justify the means. *Destroy the heretics:* they're heretics, ffs. They *want* to raise havoc. Also, Legion says rewriting gave the galaxy a "tactical disadvantage" in ME3. *Keep the data:* don't let those experiments be in vain. Letting Javik touch the Echo Shard or not... now THAT is a hard decision. I, for one, want to see him write a book with Liara and live like a king among the hanar.
I actually really like the idea of destroying synthetics due to Illusive Man and Saren picking Control and Synthesis respectively. It kind of makes sense I think: all three were looking for a way to get rid of the Reaper threat and all found very different methods to do so (granted, Saren and Illusive Man's choices were highly influenced by the Reapers due to indoctrination). It's like a conflict of ideas and ideologies and since the other two were indoctrinated, it makes sense Shepard would pick destruction. Still, the ending and the whoe ME3 is total BS.
Thats not exactly true. They only used a female model from a previous game, Jade Empire, for their first animation tests. Bioware has always intended to leave the choice of the gender to the player, it was never the plan to have a specific gender as default.
(Stupious) Also, Saren and Illusive Man both had those orbs in their eyes. Shep gets them too if s/he picks Synthesis/Control, suggesting that s/he has become indoctrinated as well. Either way, Hackett confirms that "everything can be rebuilt" in the Destroy ending... so I think EDI and the geth has a chance to return. Thing is, they both had reaper technology in them. I don't think *all* synthetic life vanished. Just EDI and the geth.
I remember when I first played ME1 I didn't get in the moment the decision I was making. I thought I could save one and run back to save the other... I was wrong
02:20. You do realize your wrong about Tali right? Garrus has been with us in all three games too. And if you want to get technical, so has Doctor Chakwas and Joker been part of your crew. You need to get your facts right next time. Especially when it comes to Mass Effect. 4:40. That was easy, just needed to know your crews strengths and weaknesses.
A lot of the decisions in all games affects War Assets so generally in order to even to get the multiple choice ending one must choose wisely. Saving the Rachni, Curing the Genophage and even letting Balak go (he comes up again for a minor mission in 3) etc will definitely boost them.
I remember my first run through of mass effect 2, my crew mate disintegrated so fast on the suicide mission. I was like oh shit......never restarted a game so fast in my life.
Yep. with male shepard I always let the default because is cool just like he is, but femShep.... hours thinking 'bout which name should fit her renegade attitude.
Just go with John/Jane Shepard, lol. Besides, no matter what you pick, people will always refer to you by your surname and your first name is never mentioned throughout the whole trilogy.
Just finished my first playthrough of the trilogy, cause I'm bound to play through it again at some point in the future. For my FemShep, I named her Jasmine.
I usually play paragon and always save the council, cure the genophage and broker peace between the quarian and geth but the Ashley/Kaidan choice is always the hardest
curing the genophage... I leave that decision to Mordin because nobody else can calculate all future implications other than himself. "Had to do it *inhales, eyelids closing upwards* somebody else might have gotten it wrong" I love you Mordin wherever you are.
My hardest decisions are -Ashely/Kaiden in virmire -Kill the Batarian terrorist/Save Hostages in ME1 Bring down they sky -whether or not to punch the reporter -and what to say to Garrus during the dance in Citadel DLC.
to not be a stupid hater who bashes a game because other people did. ME:A's a decent game. ME1-3 are just a really hard act to follow, especially when EA poaches the entire design team for Anthem and tosses it at a rookie studio.
Andromeda had release day problems, but after they patched the bugs, I didn’t really hate it. Didn’t live up to the original trilogy, but it was interesting, and definitely found a way to be fresh. Some of the new story mechanics were pretty dope too. Like terraforming worlds.
Richard Duryea why? Wrex needs to die, otherwise he will pull all the krogans when I sabotage the genophage, besides he is just a violent krogan, after their purpose is fulfilled the galaxy has no need of an violent and dangerous race like them
I found him to be very useful to my team. But my stats weren't high enough to save him. I totally understand his point of view with the Genophage. Then Ashley comes out of nowhere and shot him in the back, she had it coming.
+Sweetie Bot lol you are such an awful human being. so you think lying to someone to get their entire species to fight fr you makes wrex the violent one? you really are stupid
The ending of Mass Effect 3, when the players were confronted with the fact that, in life, there are moments and circumstances where all your past decisions and actions mean nothing and only your decisions and actions now are of any consequence.
The Ashley-Kaiden choice wasn't much for me. I chose Kaiden to stay with the bomb (since he's more techy than Ash). Ashley has the Salarian's with her, so rescuing her also helps the Salarians. From a tactical point, just makes more sense..... And I never used Kaiden in the game anyway... And I usually forgot to talk to him as well (This was on my first play through, I forgot to talk to Kaiden alright)
Saving Ash is the easy choice. No she is not racist if you talk to her in the first game you know she just doesn't trust the citadel to help humans saying that they will only back the other races. She doesn't hate aliens for being aliens. Also Kaidan is such boring character
Number 1 is the easiest decision to make. Always saves Kaiden, Ashley is quite vocal about being Xenophobic. On a multi-species ship that is going to ruffle feathers
Ash or Kaidan? It's an easy choice: save Kaidan, Ash is fu**ing racist (speciest? go join Terra Prima or Cerberus). PS: I know Kaidan is a winney, but he has nothing against the other Alliance species...
That decision was made for me when (on first arriving on Virmire) I didn't have enough Intimidate score to make Wrex back own and the bitch shot him. He was my favourite character so I reloaded before the mission and made sure he survived. But Ash had sealed her own fate. NO ONE kills my favourite characters and gets to live.
lol she isn't racist. She just think humanity's interests are more important than the council races, is she wrong? Humans and the other races like the elcor and Hanar are treat like second class citizens, have you seen how the council treat humans in ME1? It's like shit, and to get first you have to be opportunistic, which means putting your race first.
choosing a love interest was easy for me....I just went for Liara. In my head canon, she & my FemShep retired to the place won in the 1st game's Pinnacle Station DLC & raised a family ( yes, I'm a sucker for a happy ending )
My #1 Hardest Decision in Mass Effect... trying to muster up the courage to play through the me3 ending again and not feel disgusted, disappointment, total emptiness, etc. even after 5 years later... still hurts...
Short For A Hoe I bet you never played ME1 or ME2, otherwise you'd understand. Bioware also stated that there would be 16 vastly different endings for ME3, a complete lie.
From what I heard, Bioware wanted to make it better they were short on time, funding and important people who were working on it from the beginning were on other projects. So in all honesty, it wasn't completely their fault that the ending received mixed reviews(most of them bad).
Oh, I 100 percent agree with the #1 choice. I just completed Virmire on my first playthrough of Mass Effect 1, and I still wonder if I made the right choice to save Kaiden over Ashley. Part of me wishes that the other STILL somehow made it out alive, but....it looks like that probably isn't the case. Who did you all choose to save? Kaiden or Ashley? And why?
In my first walkthrough of Mass Effect I didn't put enough points in my charm/intimidate bar so Ashley ended up killing Wrex on Virmire. I got so mad that I restarted a portion of the game just to get the points I need because Wrex is a total badass. You can guess who I ended up leaving on Virmire.
Most of those are pretty easy *10. Destroy* It's what you set out to do, and it's the only one with tangible consequences. *9. Kill the Rachni queen* Is the hardest choice on the list, and mostly because it doesn't make sense for it to be binary. Ideally you'd spend more than five minutes getting to know her and then save her. *8. Keep the info* It's what Tali wants, and if you saved Reegar and Veetor you don't even need a reputation check to keep her from exile. *7. Save the civilians* There's not really any case for the alternative. *6. Use your specialists* You get some pretty explicit character descriptions if you're in doubt. *5. Cure the genophage* The genophage is messed up. A good rule of thumb is to avoid choices that involve shooting allies in the back. *4. Romance Garrus* There's not really a wrong answer here, I guess, but there sure is a right one. *3. Save the Council* Letting political leaders die for expediency is generally a no-no, and you're also losing the galaxy's nastiest (non-Reaper) dreadnought and its 10,000-man crew to save a handful of cruisers. *2. Broker peace/Side with the Geth* if you can't broker a peace. In the specific situation you're in, there's only one aggressor. *1. Save Kaidan/whoever's at the nuke* Either way, you're making this choice after recruiting Garrus, Wrex and Tali, so it's not a hard one.
Characters do grow and develop if you let them you know? If you take time to talk with ash and keep her, She'll mourn Tali's death if you fail to make peace / side with the geth. Hmmm, now why would a "racist" do that?
at the moment of the choice she is racist, the fact that she will mourn one friends death somewhere down the line does not make her a better choice than Kaidan, to me at least.
She's not a racist. She had a bad opinion on others based on her families involvement in the first contact war. Get to know her, and you will see that she likes being around the alien team. She is just ignorant and grows so much if you give her a chance.
To be honest, most of these were all pretty easy choices for me. 10. Destroy them. Sure I felt kinda guilty cause of sacrifices that had to be made (i.e EDI and Geth) but it was a sacrifice that had to be made. 9. HAHAHA I didn't even hesitate, I wiped out the Rachni in every play through. I saw no reason to spare them, and many reasons to kill them all. 8. Actually can't remember what I did, which can only mean that the choice was very easy for me to make. I suppose I would've exposed Tali's father but pulled some mad charisma skills. 7. Save the innocents, duh. Was tempted to leave Zaeed behind too (I didn't) 6. Okay, point taken. It was a thought provoking decision process, but as long as you knew your squadmates it wasn't all that difficult of one. Not that you knew things would work out when you assigned them...just kinda hoped on bated breath. 5. That was NOT a hard decision at all. Curing the genophage is what I wanted, it's what Mordin wanted, and it's what was right. Did I feel bad because Mordin was awesome? Yes. Did I hesitate or regret my choice? Nope. 4. Never had a problem with choosing a love interest. Ashley was my bae, end of story. 3. Save the council. From a political stand point it by FAR made the most sense. The lives of soldiers willing to lay down their lives versus the standing galaxy leaders? Are you kidding? 2. I was the most diplomatic person in the entire universe. Didn't have to make that choice to begin with. 1. Didn't even give it a second thought. Always save the girl. In this case the girl also happened to be my bae, which just furthered my cause to save Ashley.
Choosing who to do things in the Suicide Mission is easy as hell. If you upgrade the Normandy, recruit everyone and do every loyalty mission and pay genuine attention (basically playing the game like a normal person) you can easily get through it without anyone dying. It’s actually a lot more difficult to get them killed.
Top easiest decisions: 1) Tali Romance 2) Smashing that fucking renegade trigger to break Kai-leng's sword and kill the worst game character ever. 3) Hugging Tali when she finds her dead father 4) Punching admiral fuckwit in the stomach for firing on Tali in the geth dreadnought 5) Peace between Quarians and Geth
10. synthesis. why? because literally every other choice sucks more and is much worse than synthesis. 9. save the rachni. why? because the reapers are coming and will eradicate ALL organic life. you will need everyone on the same team to survive. 8. whichever option that earns her loyalty so shell be alive by the end of 2. 7. again, whichever option that completes earns his loyalty 6. do you want everyone to live at the end? find a guide on youtube. if not, do whatever you want 5. cure the genophage. why? look at number 9. 4. do you want to get it on with an alien or not? this is an easy yes or no. 3. save the council if you want humans to be equal to other aliens or let them die if you want humans to rule over the other aliens. 2. LOL, save both, you noob. why? look at number 5 and 9. 1. save ashley, kill kaiden. why? because hes boring as shit. plus on my squad, theres only room for 1 human male.
While I prefer Control myself, I'm just glad to see someone NOT picking Destroy for once. Besides refusal, Destroy is the worst decision you could make. You lose a potential ally and you lose all the knowledge of the previous cycles the reapers have gathered. It also proves Reaper's point that war between synthetics and organics is inevitable. I wonder how long it takes before organics build new synthetics and go to war with each other again...
+Sargon Yeah, Destroy is the only option which doesn't even attempt to solve the problem (the problem being: indisputable data gathered over billions of years, through countless cycles, by an infinitely intelligent race, confirming that war between synthetics and organics is inevitable where synthetics are bound to triumph and destroy organics). If your Shepard is really daft and doesn't pay attention to anything, that is the route to go. However, if you pick that, you should know the galaxy is doomed. At least the refusal lets the next cycle deal with the problem who might make the right call, so the galaxy isn't completely doomed if you do that,
#2, I just love how you sort it out if you do Renegade path. 'If you have any evidence, we will clear Tali of treason'. Renegade Shepard: 'My evidence is fuck you!'. We find Tali not guilty.
I expected the Kaiden / Ashley choice as number 1. but for me it wasn't hard at all, Ashley is a racist bitch and biotics are better in all three games. For me personally, killing Mordin or curing the Genophage was the hardest choice, as I absolutely loved Mordin (best Character in the trilogy) but felt morally obliged to cure the Genophage. I seriously wept when on my renegade playthrough when my Shep shot Mordin.
Flo Ri completely agree, Mordin dying hit me the hardest out of all the deaths. I pussed out in my renegade play through after I shot him. It ate at me too much and I had to reload it back like an hour for my conscience.
There was at one point a way to save both of them but was cut some time before the game released. Someone found audio logs about saving both of them. It sucks you can’t save both of them but I think it was better that we had to choose. Making the choice a lot more important than being able to save both.
IMO choosing whether to keep the Genophage data on ME2 was a tougher decision than number 6 on this list. I've played through the trilogy many times in different ways and the only person that has ended up dying at the end of ME2 for me was the blond girl that is always standing to the right of the comand center. When I realized she could be saved, I did save her too, though.
It's really too bad that they didn't have the special mission to save both Ashley and Keidan. They had some of the voice work done, just changed their mind on doing it.
I don't know that #1 was Ash v Kaiden… That decision is actually easy, compared to some of the other ones. It depends on who you romance, what your class is, and how you play your character in terms of beliefs. Which makes it simple, either way.
JSINERF pros: Combat is great Story is good Characters are good Rpg elements are good new dialogue wheel is great Replay value is high Tons of content Cons: Bad face animations It's not broken in any way. I've played for 12 hours already and i experience ONE glitch. You know, out of few milion copies sold, almost everyoe will experience glitches and if you record them all and put them in 1 video, you can make any game look like it's broken. That's what people like Crowbcat do. And i still don't know why. less than 1% of nintendo switch consoles got broken for unknown reasons. Just put 10 clips together of broken switch and make it look like nintendo is selling a shitty console. Ez views and makes you look ,,cool"
Apart from the ending, Zaeed's mission, your love interest (but it's not a hard decision, just preference), letting the council die or choosing between Kaidan or Ashley or rewriting or killing the Geth in ME2, none of these decisions are hard. There are clear right decisions. Curing Genophage is the right move if Wrex and/or Eve is alive for example

I preordered Deluxe on PC for like $90, despite being against preorders as a rule. My gpu died before release date. Imagine my frustration finding out there would be no dlc, or updates after 1.10. Im still bitter about it.
Andromeda does not even deserve to be called Mass Effect. After playing the whole trilogy I was wondering if Andromeda would bring something new, something interesting. It failed. I spent over 400 hours playing ME3. Andromeda? Around 50 or 60. Honestly I Felt like somebody Just stole my money.
Hardest decision should have been choosing the one other squad mate to come with you and Garrus
Kaiden, Tali or in ME2, Kasumi.
Sometimes Mordin.
ALWAYS GARRUS!!
Ben Smith off course garrus was a the best but I did also mostly bring Wrex or grunt
Always loved Wrex as well, it bothered me I couldnt bring him in 2 or 3, except for the citadel DLC
I love this because it's 100% true haha
Ben Smith Garrus and legion
I'm commander Sheppard and this is my favorite store in the citadel
Brandon Binder Your profile picture makes your comment 100% better
SELLOUT!!
Brett Jacobson sweet
I was so disappointed that the shop keepers didn't comment when I gave that same exact recording to all the other shops on the Citadel lol "but but but...I thought we were your favorite shop..."
YOU BIG STUPID JELLYFISH!! I should go. 🤣🤣🤣
Choosing between Geth or Quarians ?? Lol noobs, saved both
Death to the genocidal Quarians!
JudoMMA1 Yeah and have the biggest force possible to save the Universe with. It's not like fighting a Reaper armada would be easy or anything
JudoMMA1, that is the SMARTEST thing I've ever heard on this subject!
I wasn't able to keep Tali alive in ME2
JudoMMA1 me too
The hardest decision in the whole series? Deciding who to bang.
Dreymannn you know what that was actually true I made multiple playthroughs where I banged all of the females pussy is pussy my dick ain't racist
Dreymannn Liara, no decision
why is this so accurate
Hardest? Get ALL of them!
Nice? Double Nice! We'll bang, ok?
Dreymannn obvious answer is obvious: Miranda
Can it wait? I'm in the middle of some calibrations
by the goddess that's a good comment
ME3 : Can it wait? I'm in the middle of some Talibrations.... Calibration I mean.....
Stupid primitives can't calibrate gun, throw them out the airlock Commandah !!
One of my biggest disappointments about the ending of the trilogy was that the players don't get to see all the species that have been united combat the Reapers. I spared the Rachni Queen and the Geth because I wanted to see a bunch of bugs and robots fighting with the allies. What was the point of spending countless hours uniting the galaxy, if we don't get to witness all those factions in action? >:-(
High Heel Knight Well perhaps in a Trilogy Remastered we can get more cinematics for the final battle to include what was missing. I have hope for that.
High Heel Knight true
(Rainbowhawk1993) I hope so too.
And I hope for adequate ending of me3, not that stupid contrived coincidence about Catalyst and the "eternal conflict between the organics and synthetics", which we HAVE settled by making peace between quarians and geth!
i hope for removing this nonsense in remake (if it happens, cause ea had put ME on hold).
High Heel Knight the ending was extremely rushed, but I agree. We needed to see the allies we made with our choices. We needed some tangible benefit to gaining them besides just points on the war board of whatever.
Why Andromeda's ending is good. you actually DO see all the guys you helped out show up to kick ass. Bioware probably wanted to do that for ME3 but EA was.. well... EA.
I'm a simple woman.
I see Mass Effect, I press like.
PoisonRose lol xD
My kinda woman ;)
PoisonRose woman*
I'm commander Shepard and this is my favorite comment in youtube.
me, myself and I
Ashley or Kaidan, that's the "hardest" choice to make. I spent more time picking weapons for the next mission than I did on this.
Scott Hadden who did you pick
Kaidan, Ash is a completely racist bitch and you get to know Kaidan better and for longer, plus, he becomes much more interesting by the time ME3 rolls around than Ash does.
Scott Hadden
"So those Cerberus Scientists. They were... good people."
More than Ashley? Yes. Overall? Probably not.
you never did get to know her then. she has a reason for the racism (her family served pretty heavily inj the first contact war)
and by ME3, that racism is gone, as well, she sees the crew as family. regardless of species.
The hardest decision was choosing my favorite store on the Citadel.
Thats an easy choice
All of them
"Legion is that you?"
"No commander I'm afraid not"
The feels
The saddest part of mass effect.
Hardest decision was to play the first 3 games completely celibate.
@Anathema Nu Nice guy syndrome impending
@Pariah it means abstaining from marriage and sexual contact. read a dictionary.
Tali, most charming love interest in a videogame
...with the most irritating voice
Well its not that annoying??
Her voice is annoying.....
My type of woman !
Hear hear! And I loved her voice too :P
Too bad she's straight... :'(
The Ashley vs Kaidan decision was only hard, because I couldn't pick both.
This
Preach
Modding time.
That’s pretty mean
#6 was easy! Send Legion in the tube (geth can hack anything)
Garrus leads the fire team.
Mordin heads back with the survivors.
Jack provides the biotic shield.
Jack and Tali join Sheppard to the Human-reaper hybrid. Done (drops mic)
Everyone lived in my file and I had:
Tali as the Specialist.
Miranda lead the Fire Team.
Mordin head back with the survivors.
Samara provide the Biotic shield.
Garrus and Jacob join Shepard to take on the human-reaper hybrid.
I wonder how many right choices there are for the Suicide Mission
Ciarán O'Driscoll. yeah. It helps if you read the terminals in the Shadow broker's lair.
I chose Garrus to lead cause the report on him said he had great leadership skills. He was just overshadowed by Sheppard.
And Tali and Jack, cause they have the lowest combat skills for the final fire fight. With Sheppard I can insure that they survive.
Legion as techie (kind of a no brainer)
Miranda as leader (basically volunteers)
Samara as biotic (With jack in squad as supposed backup)
Grunt as survivor escort (I mean he practically wants to draw enemy fire)
Garrus and Tali for final fight (for old times sake, also to add another reaper kill to their belts)
EZ
In my gameplay everyone survive too and it had:
Tali as the specialist
Garrus lead the fire team
Jacob head back
Samara provide the Biotic shield
Garrus and Thane join Shepard to take on the human-reaper hybrid.
Tali as the tech person
Miranda as the second team leader
Mordin heads back with survivors
Samara as the biotic escort
Tali & Samara in the final fight.
Did all the loyalty missions and everybody survived
The Wrex conflict in the first game. That doesn't even get an honorable mention?
That was easy for me. I shot him.
Asim Ahmad True, especially since it happened in the same ME1 suicide they mentioned earlier.
Only VERY stupid people can shoot their teammates. Even if it is a raging krogan.
Sygmus6 you monster
Why? Wrex is everyone's favorite uncle.
Really Ashley or Kaiden #1? I didn't give a shit I played with Tali and Garrus
you. I like you.
Brendan Stiltner yes that was my squad line up most of the time when I had them excluding Thessia (where it was Liara and Javik) and Citadel (where it was Tali and Wrex) p.s. romanced Tali bromanced Garrus
My hardest decision was to either bang Miranda or bang Tali
tali every single time
Sienna Shayk Miranda
tali???
We'll bang ok?
Tali is the best bet every time... specially since is the only romantic interest that actually says "I love you"
Shepard Commander. I must go to them. I'm sorry. It is the only way.
Pancake Dog 1313 'Does this unit have a soul?'
Yes :'(
Pancake Dog 1313 Out of all the mandatory deaths throughout the Mass Effect series, none pulled at my heart strings as much as Legion, as long as you keep him as a strong ally and treat him/it well that is :). Mass Effect is such a beautiful experience from start to finish in my opinion, it's borderline brilliant.
Couldn't agree more
At the pharmacy I asked for 50 condom's. 2 girls behind me started laughing. I turned around, looked them straight in the eyes and said;
"Make that 52"
that's so good
tacoboer1 lol
tacoboer1 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 loool wtf has this gotta do with mass effect bro you just made my day
Did it work? XD
Terranis Holds If you mean getting slapped.. yeah xD
Kaiden, the most underrated character in Mass Effect trilogy.
He's a great character, the problem is that his abilities in ME1 aren't that good. But in ME3 he gets better. A fuck ton better.
For me its Joker!!!! He's always there for you in every game, hilarious, and One of the only ones who turns shepard down >_>
Also how would shepard and the others have done anything without his ace pilot skills??!
i wouldn't exactly call Joker an underrated character, i have never seen a person who played mass effect and didn't like him. he is pretty much the funniest character in the whole trilogy, and he has a backstory and a personality. while Kaidan is definitely underrated by lots and lots of players for some reason, i have seen countless comments saying that he is boring and doesn't have a personality (which isn't true, by the way)
White Rabbit Cause he fuckin boring
Thank you. He is such a forgettable character
The ending of ME:3 makes more sense when you look at it over the course of the series. Saren wanted to merge organics with with synthetics. TIM wanted to control the Reapers to harbess their power for humanity. The only option that would make sense for Shepard is to destroy the Reapers. It makes sense that the star Catalyst would not be telling the truth that Shepard would die if he chose to destroy all Reapers as it embodies the collective consciousness and we all know how honest they are. So the ending of ME:3 isn't that tough a decision.
Not really. The catalyst says itself that the cycle obviously doesn't work seeing as Shepard is standing in front of it, so it would have no motivation to lie to them. It's a robot. It works purely off of logic and not emotion, so when it sees that it failed it gives Shepard the ability to alter the course of the cycle since the Catalyst isn't able to itself. If anything the endings are uncreative because each one you unlock with more war strength is obviously better than the previous one. Synthesis isn't even remotely close to what Saren wanted, it just changes the basic foundations of DNA structure in both organics and synthetics to eliminate the differences between them, not literally merge them. Control would also work vastly different seeing as TIM never had any idea what he was doing or how he would do it. Cerberus lording over the galaxy and Shepard taking the Catalyst's place are two very different outcomes.
@@butterysnail2537 the best ending you can get in ME 3 is destroying the reapers and surviving the blast (only obtainable with 7800 war assets minimum)
@@gerhardjanssen6822 its the hardest to obtain and probably the most feel-good ending, but the implications are still just as shit as the "regular" destroy ending. the mass relays are still destroyed and won't be rebuilt for decades at minimum, the galaxy will be uncoordinated because of their loss and probably fracture into hundreds of smaller planetary governments in the absence of any extra-planetary authority to help them survive on their own. I get why its the ending most people strive for but it still feels like I accomplished nothing by getting to that point. so one human survives the war, why is that supposed to matter when everything else is still screwed?
I usually choose control now because I like to imagine Shepard has the reapers rebuild the relays and help restore stability before telling them to fuck off into dark space somewhere, with a couple reapers left behind to keep watch over things and alert the rest of them to come back if there's ever some galaxy-ending threat that they can help with. but I would imagine that since the rest of the galaxy has access to their tech they wouldn't make a huge difference anyway
@@butterysnail2537 idk, i get your reasoning as to why you'd feel control would be the better ending, but it stands too much on loose ends,
the destroy ending destroys the reapers which has been something you've been fighting for since the first game tho it does come at the cost of the relays and synthetics, tho it is all able to be rebuild without any reaper threat.
when i first completed me3 and chose the destroy ending and shepard ended up dying i was fucked up so when i discovered he could actually survive but only with the destroy ending i knew what i had to do and it's never felt so satisfying just wish they would've shown him eventually meeting back up with the crew or atleast getting in contact with civilization so we know he's actually alive and won't die after he's drawn 5 breaths
@@gerhardjanssen6822 just because its a more satisfying ending doesn't mean its what's best though. you're making a decision that affects an entire galaxy of trillions of people, probably more. its why I wish the ending gave a bit more closure generally but oh well. we got what we got I guess
I don't like Ashley, sooooo kaiden every time, he's pretty good in ME3 so why the hell not?
Bugeye0704 "So those Cerberus Scientists... they were... good people."
Same
I found that Ashely's character developed more in ME3 than Kaiden. She actually changed. Kaiden did not. And I saved him on my first playthrough, so I was not biased against him.
@@GothicElf68 kaidan didn't need to change. he was never a racist fuck lol.
Trust me, when you’re on your 9th playthrough of the trilogy (like me at the moment), you know how to prove Tali’s innocence without getting her exiled, how to keep EVERYONE alive in the suicide mission, and exactly how to bring peace between the quarians and geth.
I replayed through the series this year. I let Ashley die because I had romanced Liara in Mass Effect. I found a ton of Kaidan dialogue I totally missed out on because I always chose Ashley in previous playthroughs. He's a fascinating, underappreciated and underrated character.
Getting rid of Ashley was literally the easiest decision for me, I hated her xD
I've played through the entire trilogy, and I gotta say, each of these choices really were pretty gut-wrenching. But they're what make the 'Mass Effect' games as epic as they are. Can't wait to see what the newest entry offers up!
Beat the suicide mission is ME2 on insanity with no deaths. If you know your squad there's nothing really hard about any of the choices
yep. Legion or Tali for tech specialist. Garrus for second team leader, pretty much anyone loyal for heading back with the surviving crew, Samara or Jack for the Biotic Barrier (Miranda says "theoretically any Biotic can do it" it's better to be sure and go with your two most powerful, obviously.)
@@pendraco2000 Legion, Tali, or Kasumi for tech specialist. Each of them is an expert at tech and hacking- I have tested and confirmed this. Garrus, Jacob, or Miranda all have prior experience leading a team *in combat* and will be successful as the Fire team 2 Leader- again, tested and confirmed. Jack, Miranda, or Samara for biotic barrier- I have not confirmed Miranda, but she should be a strong enough biotic for this and will be testing it on my current playthrough. For escort, Mordin, though I have a hypothesis that it is his experience in STG and being good at stealth that makes him good at this. If this is the case, the Kasumi or Thane would also work. I am currently replaying ME2 and plan to test this with both Than and Kasumi, to see what happens with each. Obviously, a save game will be required, which will come in handy in case my stealth hypothesis is incorrect.
@@GothicElf68 I don't think the biotic barrier works with Miranda despite what she says lol
@@Matthissounet No, it does not. I know this for a fact as I tested it to see what would happen if I used her for that task. Both times her barrier dropped right before getting to the end and a squadmate died due to her failure.
In my playthroughs, Ashley survived, every single time.
However Zaeed's loyalty mission's choice is a hard one. Even as a paragon I always chose to let Zaeed have his revenge, but if I knew that theyre gonna one day fix the story and continue in a 4th and final game, I'd save the hostages and hopefully Zaeed could kill the guy in ME4.
I always choose Destroy. EDI and the Geth already decided that destroying the Reapers was worth "Non-functionality." Destroying the Reapers is the only way, in my opinion, to break the cycle
Mass Effect should have a Netflix series, lmao.
goezert Nice profile picture
as much as i love the series i have to say this wouldn't be a good idea as the games are too interactive to translate well to a series/film as they have branching paths that if moved to the big screen the writers would have to choose one path and stick with it and you can guarentee whatever they choose will annoy someone.
Don’t give idiotic producers ideas. Unless they want to rewrite the ending of 3.
I would love to see a film/series on the First Contact wars.
Kaiden or Ashely wasn't even a hard choice. It was, however, one of the most memorable moments in the entire series. Great scene.
Geth + Quarians =♥ I saved them both...luckily
I hope you didn't pick "Destroy" at the end, making this whole achievement pointless.
@@XzaroX It is pointless anyway ME 4 trailer make " Destroy " canon .
Does anyone else think it's funny that Ashley or Kaidan is number one? By Mass Effect 3, I didn't really care about either.
I regretted saving Kaiden because I unintentionally romanced him in 1 and then had to deal with his whining about me romancing Garrus in 2
curing the genophage really got me, especially seeing mordin die that seriously broke me to tears. 😭
I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite channel on the Citadel.
Hard? Nah. Not at all.
*10: Destroy:* Saren wanted Synthesis (bad guy.) Illusive Man wanted Control (bad guy.) Anderson wanted Destroy (good guy.)
*9. Let the rachni queen live:* don't doom an entire species for previous actions.
*8. Use charm/intimidation, duh:* exposing Rael'Zorah affects Tali, too; what he did wasn't unforgivable, either.
*7. Save the civilians:* the end doesn't justify the means.
*6. Use your damn brain to understand whom has the best chance at succeeding the suicide mission tasks:* common sense.
*5. Cure the genophage:* again, don't doom an entire species.
*4. Love interest? I guess it's up to you as a player... but Kaidan almost seem canon:* Shep was originally female. Ashley is the LI in the trailers for M!Shep, and Kaidan and Ashley are basically the same person in the later games. Kaidan is in the opening cutscene/first squad member. He was originally bisexual from the get-go, and nearly all the romance lines with M!Shep are voiced (including ME1, 2 and 3.) There's a lot of focus on him in all three games (ME1 Virmire, ME2 Horizon and ME3 Mars, all major plot-points in the franchise.) When Shepard looks upset in the ME2 DLC LoTSB, Liara immediately brings up Kaidan and the "hurtful things" he said to Shepard. Shepard is completely lost when he gets hurt on Mars whether romanced or not. His "after sex" scene in ME3 is unique to every other. BioWare tips more towards paragon Shep, and in Genesis, the paragon choice is choosing Kaidan to live. His "like losing a limb" line seems far more than just a little friendly. As a bonus, there's also a possible glitch in ME2 on the PS3 version where Kaidan's picture is in Shepard's cabin whether he is romanced or not. Also, Garrus and Tali can hook up, and they're awesome together.
*EDIT:* I stand corrected; turns out they simply used a female model to do the first animations for Shep.
*3. Save the Council:* humanity loses the trust of every other species by placing themselves first, and hell, this whole reaper situation is way bigger than humanity.
*2. Again, use charm/intimidation:* convincing the geth and quarians to cooperate allows them both to live.
*1. Save the one you sent to arm the bomb:* the one with the salarians says s/he can handle themselves while the other obviously struggles. The salarian team lives anyways if you know how to save them. Sending Ashley with the salarians is paragon and sending Kaidan is renegade.
*Honorable mentions:*
*Save the hostages:* again, the end doesn't justify the means.
*Destroy the heretics:* they're heretics, ffs. They *want* to raise havoc. Also, Legion says rewriting gave the galaxy a "tactical disadvantage" in ME3.
*Keep the data:* don't let those experiments be in vain.
Letting Javik touch the Echo Shard or not... now THAT is a hard decision.
I, for one, want to see him write a book with Liara and live like a king among the hanar.
Most is true! However, there is no canon male or female Shepard, duh.
I actually really like the idea of destroying synthetics due to Illusive Man and Saren picking Control and Synthesis respectively. It kind of makes sense I think: all three were looking for a way to get rid of the Reaper threat and all found very different methods to do so (granted, Saren and Illusive Man's choices were highly influenced by the Reapers due to indoctrination). It's like a conflict of ideas and ideologies and since the other two were indoctrinated, it makes sense Shepard would pick destruction.
Still, the ending and the whoe ME3 is total BS.
(F104Starfighter) Hey, I always play M!Shep. I meant to say that F!Shep was originally meant to be the default. Bioware confirmed it.
Thats not exactly true. They only used a female model from a previous game, Jade Empire, for their first animation tests. Bioware has always intended to leave the choice of the gender to the player, it was never the plan to have a specific gender as default.
(Stupious) Also, Saren and Illusive Man both had those orbs in their eyes. Shep gets them too if s/he picks Synthesis/Control, suggesting that s/he has become indoctrinated as well. Either way, Hackett confirms that "everything can be rebuilt" in the Destroy ending... so I think EDI and the geth has a chance to return. Thing is, they both had reaper technology in them. I don't think *all* synthetic life vanished. Just EDI and the geth.
I remember when I first played ME1 I didn't get in the moment the decision I was making. I thought I could save one and run back to save the other... I was wrong
02:20. You do realize your wrong about Tali right? Garrus has been with us in all three games too. And if you want to get technical, so has Doctor Chakwas and Joker been part of your crew. You need to get your facts right next time. Especially when it comes to Mass Effect.
4:40. That was easy, just needed to know your crews strengths and weaknesses.
They did say she was ONE OF the only ones.
dude before leaving an angry comment like this, you should get your facts right next time.
Cerberusx 32 obviously you jumped the gun.
of course he did, he's Cerberus.
A lot of the decisions in all games affects War Assets so generally in order to even to get the multiple choice ending one must choose wisely. Saving the Rachni, Curing the Genophage and even letting Balak go (he comes up again for a minor mission in 3) etc will definitely boost them.
"Number 4 choosing a love interest" It's not hard when you replay every game to discover what each one has to offer...I've done this, don't judge me.
I remember my first run through of mass effect 2, my crew mate disintegrated so fast on the suicide mission. I was like oh shit......never restarted a game so fast in my life.
I just started Mass Effect.
I'm in for one hell of a Journey.
The Hardest in Any Game Is Picking your name.
Yep. with male shepard I always let the default because is cool just like he is, but femShep.... hours thinking 'bout which name should fit her renegade attitude.
Just go with John/Jane Shepard, lol. Besides, no matter what you pick, people will always refer to you by your surname and your first name is never mentioned throughout the whole trilogy.
Just finished my first playthrough of the trilogy, cause I'm bound to play through it again at some point in the future. For my FemShep, I named her Jasmine.
If you guys want people to say your first name just name your character "Commander Shepard".
BeastGamer068 for me it was picking my gender when I'm ONLY AFFORDED TWO OPTIONS. Like we live in the 1950's or something
I usually play paragon and always save the council, cure the genophage and broker peace between the quarian and geth but the Ashley/Kaidan choice is always the hardest
79% of ME1 players chose Ashley over Kaidan. 100% of those 79% regretted it
killing ashley is the easiest god damn decision i ever made in my entire life.
Toughest decision:
Whether to buy or not to buy Mass Effect: Andromeda...
curing the genophage... I leave that decision to Mordin because nobody else can calculate all future implications other than himself. "Had to do it *inhales, eyelids closing upwards* somebody else might have gotten it wrong" I love you Mordin wherever you are.
SHOULD I OR SHOULDNT I CHEAT ON EVERYONE
King Piccolo It doesn't matter, who's going to stop you.
My hardest decisions are
-Ashely/Kaiden in virmire
-Kill the Batarian terrorist/Save Hostages in ME1 Bring down they sky
-whether or not to punch the reporter
-and what to say to Garrus during the dance in Citadel DLC.
To play Mass Effect Andromeda without laughing
to not be a stupid hater who bashes a game because other people did. ME:A's a decent game. ME1-3 are just a really hard act to follow, especially when EA poaches the entire design team for Anthem and tosses it at a rookie studio.
@@pendraco2000 andromeda is a sack of sh*t, turn your brain on, boy
Andromeda had release day problems, but after they patched the bugs, I didn’t really hate it. Didn’t live up to the original trilogy, but it was interesting, and definitely found a way to be fresh. Some of the new story mechanics were pretty dope too. Like terraforming worlds.
@@KBomb86 same i liked both the trilogy and andromeda
Destroy, High EMS. Extended Cut. Best ending.
the only ending worth getting and the only ending i ever do.
I always save ashley
I wish I could of offed both of them and got Captain KIrrahe to join the squad. "Hold The Line!"
#1 Choosing whether or not to buy Andromeda
It wasn't hard for me to let Ashley die, because she killed Wrex
Richard Duryea why? Wrex needs to die, otherwise he will pull all the krogans when I sabotage the genophage, besides he is just a violent krogan, after their purpose is fulfilled the galaxy has no need of an violent and dangerous race like them
Wrex best in ME1! hands down
I found him to be very useful to my team. But my stats weren't high enough to save him. I totally understand his point of view with the Genophage. Then Ashley comes out of nowhere and shot him in the back, she had it coming.
+Sweetie Bot lol you are such an awful human being. so you think lying to someone to get their entire species to fight fr you makes wrex the violent one? you really are stupid
Richard Duryea it's not her fault u suck at rpgs, get gud scrub! :-)
The ending of Mass Effect 3, when the players were confronted with the fact that, in life, there are moments and circumstances where all your past decisions and actions mean nothing and only your decisions and actions now are of any consequence.
ah! the most painful decision in the original game. i saved Ashley on my infiltrator, Kaiden on my vanguard.
The hardest decision for me was deciding whether or not Admiral Hackett and Zaeed were twin brothers.
Hardest decision was who to save on Virmire? Really? Kaiden was soooooo much more relatable (and not bitchy). It wasn't even a decision for me.
Test4Echo he also wasn't racist
"choosing a love interest"
you mean choosing between Garrus and Liara (or Traynor) right?
...wait shit, that is hard.
IKR? My first playthrough, I went Liara, Kelly, Traynor cause why not?
My next playthrough was all Garrus, and my third was all Liara.
Don't forget Tali
@@Tcrumpen They obviously played FemSheps. Tali cannot be romanced by a FemShep and Traynor cannot be romanced by a BroShep.
#1 was the easiest among these for me...:D
Kaiden, without any hesitation:)
The Ashley-Kaiden choice wasn't much for me. I chose Kaiden to stay with the bomb (since he's more techy than Ash). Ashley has the Salarian's with her, so rescuing her also helps the Salarians. From a tactical point, just makes more sense..... And I never used Kaiden in the game anyway... And I usually forgot to talk to him as well (This was on my first play through, I forgot to talk to Kaiden alright)
Saving Ash is the easy choice. No she is not racist if you talk to her in the first game you know she just doesn't trust the citadel to help humans saying that they will only back the other races. She doesn't hate aliens for being aliens. Also Kaidan is such boring character
Number 1 is the easiest decision to make. Always saves Kaiden, Ashley is quite vocal about being Xenophobic. On a multi-species ship that is going to ruffle feathers
Ash or Kaidan? It's an easy choice: save Kaidan, Ash is fu**ing racist (speciest? go join Terra Prima or Cerberus). PS: I know Kaidan is a winney, but he has nothing against the other Alliance species...
They both were annoying as fuck!
That decision was made for me when (on first arriving on Virmire) I didn't have enough Intimidate score to make Wrex back own and the bitch shot him.
He was my favourite character so I reloaded before the mission and made sure he survived.
But Ash had sealed her own fate.
NO ONE kills my favourite characters and gets to live.
TheDjbz lol I got him back on my team but lol I did wanna see what happened den when he died in quickly loaded a save from Before and it was good
lol she isn't racist. She just think humanity's interests are more important than the council races, is she wrong? Humans and the other races like the elcor and Hanar are treat like second class citizens, have you seen how the council treat humans in ME1? It's like shit, and to get first you have to be opportunistic, which means putting your race first.
+Gerard Jaleo i still saved ash because sex
I went paragon through the whole trilogy. Also I was kinda sad to see Legion, Mordin and Thane die.
Hardest decision... Buying Andromeda or wait for it to get less expensive
DAVIDed Thinkin' Not hard, wait it out
choosing a love interest was easy for me....I just went for Liara. In my head canon, she & my FemShep retired to the place won in the 1st game's Pinnacle Station DLC & raised a family ( yes, I'm a sucker for a happy ending )
My #1 Hardest Decision in Mass Effect... trying to muster up the courage to play through the me3 ending again and not feel disgusted, disappointment, total emptiness, etc. even after 5 years later... still hurts...
Jeremy Villaroman It's good except the end
tbh its hard to replay me3... i always stop right before the end
it is tho.
Short For A Hoe I bet you never played ME1 or ME2, otherwise you'd understand. Bioware also stated that there would be 16 vastly different endings for ME3, a complete lie.
From what I heard, Bioware wanted to make it better they were short on time, funding and important people who were working on it from the beginning were on other projects. So in all honesty, it wasn't completely their fault that the ending received mixed reviews(most of them bad).
Despite the crappy ending the end of Mass Effect 3 where you have to choose the entire fate of the galaxy should have been number 1#
I mean, the choice between Kaidan and Ashley was easy. Kaidan was an absolutely useless in combat and Ashley was a tank, was no real toughie there.
Heretic Productions Ashley’s a damn racist though.
That was my thought process, but God Ashley is annoying in ME3
Yeah. We should have killed them both.
was a racist. she gets better by ME3. if Tali buys it, Ash even comments she basically just lost her little sister.
Oh, I 100 percent agree with the #1 choice. I just completed Virmire on my first playthrough of Mass Effect 1, and I still wonder if I made the right choice to save Kaiden over Ashley. Part of me wishes that the other STILL somehow made it out alive, but....it looks like that probably isn't the case. Who did you all choose to save? Kaiden or Ashley? And why?
In my first walkthrough of Mass Effect I didn't put enough points in my charm/intimidate bar so Ashley ended up killing Wrex on Virmire. I got so mad that I restarted a portion of the game just to get the points I need because Wrex is a total badass. You can guess who I ended up leaving on Virmire.
You could have just helped Wrex retrieve his family's armor... ME1 has "Loyalty missions" too, except they weren't all in your face me2 style.
@@XzaroXwell they also totally suck, an item hidden in some random copy pasted building in a barren planet is hardly a "mission"
Most of those are pretty easy
*10. Destroy* It's what you set out to do, and it's the only one with tangible consequences.
*9. Kill the Rachni queen* Is the hardest choice on the list, and mostly because it doesn't make sense for it to be binary. Ideally you'd spend more than five minutes getting to know her and then save her.
*8. Keep the info* It's what Tali wants, and if you saved Reegar and Veetor you don't even need a reputation check to keep her from exile.
*7. Save the civilians* There's not really any case for the alternative.
*6. Use your specialists* You get some pretty explicit character descriptions if you're in doubt.
*5. Cure the genophage* The genophage is messed up. A good rule of thumb is to avoid choices that involve shooting allies in the back.
*4. Romance Garrus* There's not really a wrong answer here, I guess, but there sure is a right one.
*3. Save the Council* Letting political leaders die for expediency is generally a no-no, and you're also losing the galaxy's nastiest (non-Reaper) dreadnought and its 10,000-man crew to save a handful of cruisers.
*2. Broker peace/Side with the Geth* if you can't broker a peace. In the specific situation you're in, there's only one aggressor.
*1. Save Kaidan/whoever's at the nuke* Either way, you're making this choice after recruiting Garrus, Wrex and Tali, so it's not a hard one.
Letting Ashley's racist ass die was the easiest decision I had to make. Welcome to the team Kaiden.
Characters do grow and develop if you let them you know? If you take time to talk with ash and keep her, She'll mourn Tali's death if you fail to make peace / side with the geth. Hmmm, now why would a "racist" do that?
at the moment of the choice she is racist, the fact that she will mourn one friends death somewhere down the line does not make her a better choice than Kaidan, to me at least.
She's not a racist. She had a bad opinion on others based on her families involvement in the first contact war. Get to know her, and you will see that she likes being around the alien team. She is just ignorant and grows so much if you give her a chance.
Bang Tali or bang Liara - that is the ultimate hardest choice for me.
To be honest, most of these were all pretty easy choices for me.
10. Destroy them. Sure I felt kinda guilty cause of sacrifices that had to be made (i.e EDI and Geth) but it was a sacrifice that had to be made.
9. HAHAHA I didn't even hesitate, I wiped out the Rachni in every play through. I saw no reason to spare them, and many reasons to kill them all.
8. Actually can't remember what I did, which can only mean that the choice was very easy for me to make. I suppose I would've exposed Tali's father but pulled some mad charisma skills.
7. Save the innocents, duh. Was tempted to leave Zaeed behind too (I didn't)
6. Okay, point taken. It was a thought provoking decision process, but as long as you knew your squadmates it wasn't all that difficult of one. Not that you knew things would work out when you assigned them...just kinda hoped on bated breath.
5. That was NOT a hard decision at all. Curing the genophage is what I wanted, it's what Mordin wanted, and it's what was right. Did I feel bad because Mordin was awesome? Yes. Did I hesitate or regret my choice? Nope.
4. Never had a problem with choosing a love interest. Ashley was my bae, end of story.
3. Save the council. From a political stand point it by FAR made the most sense. The lives of soldiers willing to lay down their lives versus the standing galaxy leaders? Are you kidding?
2. I was the most diplomatic person in the entire universe. Didn't have to make that choice to begin with.
1. Didn't even give it a second thought. Always save the girl. In this case the girl also happened to be my bae, which just furthered my cause to save Ashley.
"Most hardest" oh the grammar...
Choosing who to do things in the Suicide Mission is easy as hell. If you upgrade the Normandy, recruit everyone and do every loyalty mission and pay genuine attention (basically playing the game like a normal person) you can easily get through it without anyone dying. It’s actually a lot more difficult to get them killed.
“Most Hardest”
nice ones mojo... your honourable mentions are also the ones I thought of :)
I always save kaiden alenko cause i get to romance him in mass effect 3
Top easiest decisions:
1) Tali Romance
2) Smashing that fucking renegade trigger to break Kai-leng's sword and kill the worst game character ever.
3) Hugging Tali when she finds her dead father
4) Punching admiral fuckwit in the stomach for firing on Tali in the geth dreadnought
5) Peace between Quarians and Geth
10. synthesis. why? because literally every other choice sucks more and is much worse than synthesis.
9. save the rachni. why? because the reapers are coming and will eradicate ALL organic life. you will need everyone on the same team to survive.
8. whichever option that earns her loyalty so shell be alive by the end of 2.
7. again, whichever option that completes earns his loyalty
6. do you want everyone to live at the end? find a guide on youtube. if not, do whatever you want
5. cure the genophage. why? look at number 9.
4. do you want to get it on with an alien or not? this is an easy yes or no.
3. save the council if you want humans to be equal to other aliens or let them die if you want humans to rule over the other aliens.
2. LOL, save both, you noob. why? look at number 5 and 9.
1. save ashley, kill kaiden. why? because hes boring as shit. plus on my squad, theres only room for 1 human male.
While I prefer Control myself, I'm just glad to see someone NOT picking Destroy for once. Besides refusal, Destroy is the worst decision you could make. You lose a potential ally and you lose all the knowledge of the previous cycles the reapers have gathered. It also proves Reaper's point that war between synthetics and organics is inevitable. I wonder how long it takes before organics build new synthetics and go to war with each other again...
+Sargon Yeah, Destroy is the only option which doesn't even attempt to solve the problem (the problem being: indisputable data gathered over billions of years, through countless cycles, by an infinitely intelligent race, confirming that war between synthetics and organics is inevitable where synthetics are bound to triumph and destroy organics). If your Shepard is really daft and doesn't pay attention to anything, that is the route to go. However, if you pick that, you should know the galaxy is doomed.
At least the refusal lets the next cycle deal with the problem who might make the right call, so the galaxy isn't completely doomed if you do that,
#2, I just love how you sort it out if you do Renegade path. 'If you have any evidence, we will clear Tali of treason'. Renegade Shepard: 'My evidence is fuck you!'. We find Tali not guilty.
I expected the Kaiden / Ashley choice as number 1. but for me it wasn't hard at all, Ashley is a racist bitch and biotics are better in all three games. For me personally, killing Mordin or curing the Genophage was the hardest choice, as I absolutely loved Mordin (best Character in the trilogy) but felt morally obliged to cure the Genophage. I seriously wept when on my renegade playthrough when my Shep shot Mordin.
Agreed. The Genophage was the best series of quests in the game and that was a really tough call.
Flo Ri completely agree, Mordin dying hit me the hardest out of all the deaths. I pussed out in my renegade play through after I shot him. It ate at me too much and I had to reload it back like an hour for my conscience.
#1 was the easiest choice to make. Kaidan every time. He adds more to the team. Plus, he's my romance option.
“Most hardest”
Big oof lmao
yeah major cringe
There was at one point a way to save both of them but was cut some time before the game released. Someone found audio logs about saving both of them. It sucks you can’t save both of them but I think it was better that we had to choose. Making the choice a lot more important than being able to save both.
Ashley made me listen to her mind-numbingly abysmal poetry in the cargo bay, there was no way I was going to let her live.
Still more entertaining than Kaidan whining about his traumatic biotic childhood.
IMO choosing whether to keep the Genophage data on ME2 was a tougher decision than number 6 on this list. I've played through the trilogy many times in different ways and the only person that has ended up dying at the end of ME2 for me was the blond girl that is always standing to the right of the comand center. When I realized she could be saved, I did save her too, though.
The Ashley or Kaidan decision was the easiest for me...Kaidan died every time without hesitation.
So you pick the racist
LeoGotHisOscar acourse she does it make me story better he fie for the future of the kids
she aint racist just like cerberus in me2 aint racist they just put humanity first wich makes sense since you put your family first right?
No, I chose her because she's hotter and much less annoying.
She's only racist because you didn't give her a chance to get to know other aliens. You people are too quick to judge a person by their cover.
It's really too bad that they didn't have the special mission to save both Ashley and Keidan. They had some of the voice work done, just changed their mind on doing it.
Don't read this!!
:D
nice xDD
very cool
stop spamming!
ok
I don't know that #1 was Ash v Kaiden… That decision is actually easy, compared to some of the other ones. It depends on who you romance, what your class is, and how you play your character in terms of beliefs. Which makes it simple, either way.
Easiest decision: Don't buy Andromeda.
Bill I Did Not Bang That Woman Clinton Oh you are so cool, hating something that is popular even tho you didn't even play the game
JSINERF pros:
Combat is great
Story is good
Characters are good
Rpg elements are good
new dialogue wheel is great
Replay value is high
Tons of content
Cons:
Bad face animations
It's not broken in any way. I've played for 12 hours already and i experience ONE glitch.
You know, out of few milion copies sold, almost everyoe will experience glitches and if you record them all and put them in 1 video, you can make any game look like it's broken. That's what people like Crowbcat do. And i still don't know why.
less than 1% of nintendo switch consoles got broken for unknown reasons.
Just put 10 clips together of broken switch and make it look like nintendo is selling a shitty console. Ez views and makes you look ,,cool"
Mantas Pavardė you da real mvp
Mantas Pavardė Amen
Mantas Pavardė I couldn't agree more, well said.
the hardest decision was when the developers decide to put marina joyce's face to every fucking character in mass effect andromeda :D
The easiest decision? Not buying Andromeda.
Apart from the ending, Zaeed's mission, your love interest (but it's not a hard decision, just preference), letting the council die or choosing between Kaidan or Ashley or rewriting or killing the Geth in ME2, none of these decisions are hard. There are clear right decisions. Curing Genophage is the right move if Wrex and/or Eve is alive for example
