His line "A new beginning.. for all of us" followed by the explosion is quite moving when you take into account that he said in ME2 that he believed in reincarnation
There's something about Mordin kind of voicing the actual effects of his final actions that hits more emotionally to me than the version with him singing.
This happens sometimes even if you tell him before hand - I think as someone else said its based on if you hear him sing before that. Hearing him sing wouldn't be as impactful unless you played two and heard it.
I still prefer the singing. What he says in this would probably be what he thought to himself but only said out loud for the benefit of an audience. The singing was Mordin comforting himself before death. No one is watching, no one is listening. In his last moments he sings a song he loves as he braces for the end of his life.
I agree. His words carry a lot more weight -- first because he remains calm as the tower's starting to break down around him, treating this as another experiment. Then, once his work's complete, his last words reflect quiet relief, and drive home the kind of future you've set in motion by giving him the chance to atone for his oldest sin.
I'm surprised that this isn't the version of his death that most people get. I never knew that there's a version where he sings until I went onto the internet.
Huh! I've never seen this one. Feels like it should be the other way around. This one seems calmer and more thought through, whereas singing sounded like a nervous reaction to an unexpected situation.
As someone who played ME3 before any of the others, watching this scene got me extremely hooked to the storyline. It's such a powerful moment, and it stays with me this way.
I prefer this to his "singing" however, in my playthrough he sings before the dispersal and then says "A new beginning.. for all of us." before the explosion. I also wish in the paragon route, Mordin would say the line, "I MADE A MISTAKE!" It's so powerful. Anyways.
The singing I prefer, because it adds more of an emotional punch to the scene. This is because, to gain the scene, Shepard has to befriend Mordin to the point that he will off-handedly talk about Gilbert and Sullivan. His singing in Mass Effect 2, being a parody of Modern Major General, was a punchline that showed the goofier side to Mordin beneath his cold detached logic. In Mass Effect 3, he uses it as a *coping mechanism*. He is scared shitless that he is going to die, and he uses the memory of him singing in Gilbert and Sullivan in a desperate attempt to calm down, to ease his mortal terror even with the knowledge he is atoning for the Genophage
ah actually this happen all the time on my play through even if u tell him at the beginning not sure why but maybe because if u didn't hear him sing in me2
@@lozzab102Just because YOU don't like him doesn't mean the rest of us only like him because he's in all three games. That idea doesn't even make sense. 😅
You have to disappoint Mordin for him not to sing. If you try and stop him from curing the Genophage, but fail to shoot him, he will give you a light head nod, but his disappointment radiates. You have tae be bad at the game to learn all that though. By time you play ME3, you should know that Wrex is your brother and the one Krogan to improve his people and their place in the universe. Killing, or betraying and killing him just means you are bad at the game. Likewise if you can't get peace on Rannoch. Or if those who aren't doomed to die like Mordin and Thane die. Feeling shame or anger? Dont take out your failure on me.
... you're completely wrong. You don't have to disappoint him at all to get this version, I kept Wrex alive and let him go up there without even trying to shoot him. He doesn't sing the song if you didn't hear him sing it in Mass effect 2, it's as simple as that.
@@tiagocardoso2897 I had him sing the song in 2 but he didn't sing in this scene, and I have no idea why! He should've sang in this scene, shouldn't he?
Well I had Wreav, but I hid the sabotage from the Krogan so they wouldn’t be pissed off salarians. He might’ve been disappointed because he knew but I was never trying to stop it

Same
Truly, the duality of man.
*MORDIN:* Genophage cured. Krogan freed. New beginning... for all of us.

I think this is way better than the singing...has much more impact
impact is nothing my first time playing it i litteraly said "MOR" and got the explosion i sat down my controller and just froze for 3 mins
Ya I have only gotten this ending I did not know the signing one exited

@@LonePhantom756 exactly. And it’s a little ambiguous to make you think. “New beginning, for everyone”. Damn, I got chills thinking about it right now

4 years and im still crying like a little bitch

I’ve always liked this version more, it always gave me a feeling of hope. While the one where he sang made me ball my eyes out
2:00 It's good to hear his triumph, but doing it with a song hits a soft spot, especially how he does it.
ah actually this happen all the time on my play through even if u tell him at the beginning not sure why but maybe because if u didn't hear him sing in me2
Dr. Mordin Solus
When most would rather do the job and go home, he held the line.
I actually prefer this one. It's far more profound but I guess why the singing is liked for its reference to ME2
Thanks for these videos! I don't get to see these in my playthroughs.
This was the version I got.... still hits hard (the last words)
Interesting.
Got this in original trilogy but cant get it on legendary edition even though I didn't hear him sing
I got this but had heard him sing
He sings only if you have a ME2 important and you made sure he sung you the song in the game.
I Imported an ME2 save where he sang and still got this one somehow.
Every other playthrough he sang though
Why does every one that is cool die in mass effect 3 ?!?
Grunt's cool. so is Garrus, Tali lives too if you know what you're doing.
@@diamondwarrior2003 garrus is boring, only reason hes loved is because he was in all mass effects, same with tali
@@lozzab102 That's so wrong lol. Garrus is one of the most beloved characters in all of gaming, the dude's cool and extremely funny.
@@lozzab102 He's Shepard's best friend, the most loyal squad member and a snarky sniper. He's far from boring
