"Have killed many, Shepard. Many Methods. Gunfire, knives, drugs, tech attack, once with farming equipment." There's a story I wanna hear with that last one!
There actually is! If you play the Shadowbroker DLC, at the end you get the chance to read a lot of additional information fragments regarding the crew and important figures - amongst other things this story of Mordin :)
Honestly, I cried the most when Mordin died. He did the scientist salarian song and then just smiled in the end. Just like he finally accepted peace in life.
Weirdly, I didn’t cry at all when he died. I thought I would, but he died well. He didn’t just sacrifice himself, he gave himself peace with his final act. I just felt really proud of and happy for him. Will forever miss him though! Probably the best ME character
6 years after I first played Mass Effect 2 and I only now, finally get that Mordin gives FemShep his recommendation as a doctor regarding relations between her and Garrus to "spit, not swallow"......
Hearing Mordin sing a modified "Glory Glory Hallelujah" brought the biggest smile to my face! I work in the medical field, so I could even decipher half of what he was saying! Bonus!
I sent a Bio major friend of mine in college "Battle Hymn of the Amino Acids" when she had an exam regarding amino acids. She thanked me later after she aced it.
Funny thing, Mordin says Cerberus should use an ocular flashbang and then in ME3 you get a transcript of an Alliance interrogation of a Cerberus agent who detonates an ocular flashbang.
9:00 - ....Okay. It's RARE to hear something so genuinely written. This really feels like someone, with a large medical background, who liked singing, wrote up their own form of these lyrics to this rhythm. Mordin best character.
@@sansthedrummer You're not the first to say that. There's been many a Mass Effect fan that has talked about how Mordin's song helped them pass their finals/tests.
With all the time I spent playing these games, I've never heard him song this... Salarian Scientist cover of Battle Hymn of the Republic. I'd pay for a full version.
Canonically Mordin is over 50. Given the rate solarians mature & age he’s fucking ancient & has seen it all. He figured out which social inhibitions are pointless & got rid of them
Seriously Mordin, Legion and Thane all have heartnreaking story. But you know what? Mordin sacrificing himself at the end made it a full circle. He started it, he ended it.
Is anyone in 2020 remembering ME2 and going through a slight Mass Effect depression right now? I really miss this game. Humanity really fycked up when they ruined this.. I need more of this universe in my life.
Right there with you buddy! Replaying ME2 right now with a ME1 downloaded save just because I don't have time to replay that behemoth, but I can manage ME2 and 3 right now lol. It's been an overwhelming rush of nostalgia from my middle/highschool years! It's crazy how much of this shit is tied to my growing up, each unique scene, dialog, mission, etc. makes me remember something else from that stage of my life. This series was so important to me growing up. It sounds sad, but these characters were some of my only "friends". lmao
Thanks for the compilation! Been replaying the trilogy after so many years..good memories! RIP Mass Effect, Bioware. Baldur's Gate was my first BW game, played it when I was 7/8, fell in love since then. Ahhhh getting a little teary here. Keep up the good work Jaguar!
I started dying at 9:00 OH MY GODS! Laughed so hard I started coughing and couldn't breathe! Busted up and lost my shit again at "learned tricks dirty enough to clog a quarian's suit filter." I'm gonna cry whenever I see a seashell, btw.
Seeing Shepard tear Mordin apart in his ME2 loyalty mission really hurts when you go back after playing ME3. He felt horrible about what he'd done. I kinda wanna yell at Shepard for berating him.
To twist the words of my favorite alien from another series... “Not at all. Mordin entertains a certain romanticism about the past, as calculated and scientific as he might make it sound. If he is the Salarian we all hope him to be then these words and the pain they caused will help him on that path.”
It was pretty grim but honestly I think Mordin needed it, he needed someone else to validate the doubt and guilt he was already feeling, and it made him realise he had to make amends.
Mordin grew on me so much through the series. In ME2, I thought he was gonna be an annoying scientist I’d never utilize. I had no idea he’d become one of my favorite characters in the entire story 😢
I love Mordin so much. I was crying during the Genophage scene. The fact that you have to be an asshole and lie about the sabotage to get him to snap and admit he was wrong is sad
Wait Wait Wait. the story mordin was telling at 13:00. Was the asari he was talking about Aria? The dude FUCKED with aria? LITERALLY? No wonder why aria commeneted that she liked himxD
I would seriously get behind a new TV science series with Mordin Solus. Bill Nye, Neil Degrasse Tyson and Mr. Wizard would have nothing on him! :D FUND IT!
I get why some people praise the big picture quote, but for me, "Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong." I'm in Engineering, and sometimes when you're the only specialist in a particular field around that day, it has to be you....
I'll never forget my first run in ME3. I was full blown renegade, but couldn't stand betraying Mordin. I redid the whole Krogen planet level to make sure no one else did it wrong.
Hm. I really loved talking with Mordin in ME2 and ME3. I suppose that's why I never got around to finishing ME3. The prospect of losing more people after that just felt so... daunting.
Neural shock clearly effective. Perry the pyjak also clearly made of flammable material.... any questions I have listened to this eight times still laughing
i always found this part 5:55 weird....i mean mordin doesn't look so "angry" or/and "serious", now that i think....is because he actually was trying to make a....joke :D
I HATE that Mordin died.. but at least he got to die doing what he thought was right correcting the mistake he regretted his entire life! I never ever did the evil path. I always cured the krogan, and helped Mordin do it.

@@watcherofmemelords7967 would have liked to run tests on seashells....
Yeah I just finished the Legendary collection and it was my first time playing all three games and I cried when he sacrificed himself
Whoever did the voice acting for Mordin really tried to get that Salarian traits. He talks fast unlike some of the other Salarians
Feel like that is more of a Mordin trait, than species.
I think Mordin has the salarian equivalent of autism.
I believe Mordin is actually talking in English, and not through a translator.
@@Blastia2kknowing him it wouldn’t surprise me really
It's William Salyers - the same VA for Doc Ock from PS4 Spider Man, Yoshida from the Persona franchise, and Rigby from Regular Show.
I like to picture that wherever Mordin is, he's running tests on some seashells.
You are going to give me depression
"Rest. Find your gods. Find someplace better."
Maybe the Salarian version of ancient Egypt's "Field of Eternal Reeds"
...the Shore of Eternal Seashells.

You criminally missed out one of his best moments:
"Objection noted. Now release the female krogan."
