I know that the name of our moon is Luna & I know that the sun is Sol. But in day to day conversation, most people don't say "Luna" and "Sol". Considering Mass Effect takes place across the galaxy, it's self evident that we'd start calling the Sun & Moon as Sol & Luna. Thank you for reading 🙂
They don't currently because we're only here. If you were a space spanning empire 'sun' and 'moon' would be more respective to where they are currently located as they're just general terms of identity. So someone in the Asgard system on Terra Nova would call their moon, moon or their sun the sun more than likely. Hence why our moon would use it's official name if we were a actual space spanning empire over several solar systems. Which is pretty much what you said with more words lol
The Shifty Looking Cow was an in-joke at Bioware. When they were designing endemic life for the uncharted planets, someone saw the design of the space cows and said something like he/she wouldn't trust them. He/she said that the front arms made them uncomfortable, and they look like they'd steal your money when your back is turned. Thus, the legendary Easter egg was born.
@@Coco-buns I used to scour the Wiki a lot when I was younger. It's one of the facts that stuck out in my mind, as I was very confused when I first found the Shifty Looking Cow. Edit: it was a post by Lead Technical Designer Dusty Everman on the official forums. The exact quote is: “I love the history of the Shifty Cow easter egg. When the character artists designed the space cow with two extra arms, Preston, our lead designer, was a little creeped out. His comment was "You can’t trust any animal that can milk itself." Those extra little hands look so... grabby. So Preston came up with the idea of Shifty Cow. Turn your back on him, and those creepy little hands are going to go to work. Kiss those credits goodbye.”
Aw, I missed him this time around! I forgot he was on Ontarom; I actually thought he was on Nodacrux! I kept trying to talk to all the space cows there, but no luck!
They are the two most loyal with tali edging it a bit....as she joins you even when she could lose everything she holds dear fighting for you; whilst garrus joins you due to his whole group being killed and having nothing else to do in ME2 :-) Tali is the best :-)
Specifically: - On the hill near the CCCP Luna 23 probe on Luna as seen in the video - Near the wreckage with the Asari Writings on Altahe (Styx Theta / Acheron System) - At the abandoned mining camp on Nepmos (Styx Theta / Erebus System) - At the abandoned camp on Nodacrux (Maroon Sea / Vostok System) - Near the landing zone on Rayingri (Armstrong Nebula / Gagarin System) - Near the recon probe on Eletania (Attican Beta / Hercules System) - On the hill to the west of the thresher maw on Xawin (Horse Head Nebula / Strenuus System)
Honestly, this ambient sound effects brings it rootes even back from the times of "RUNE" game from Human Head Studios. In some areas you can clearly hear them, especially when you travelling through Svartalfheim.

One of the best hidden Easter Eggs are from The Citadel DLC in ME3, where you encounter a lone Salarian having a smoke. If you wait around him long enough, he will say "I only do eyes" which is a reference to the original Blade Runner.
There's also another one in the same DLC where you'll find a omni-pad on the bed. If you listen through it, you'll find that Mordin broke the one rule on Omega ;)
The Shifty Looking Cow "milks" your credits away! 😂 It is referenced too in one of Mass Effect 3's DLC. You can find "Shifty Cow" in the one with the leaderboards.
Imagine beating Commander Shepard. It's a close fight, despite having no right to be. They killed one on Tuchanka, they killed one on Rannoch, they killed Sovereign, they killed a Larva in the Collector base, and that's just the ones Shepard personally killed, not even mentioning who just got gunned down by miscellaneous fleets. But you did it, and you come back later, only to find some blue ball has uplifted the Yahg and those bird people, and warned them about you. So now Falco Lombardi on 50,000 years of prep time is leading The Krogan But Worse, and they already have the Crucible. Imagine.
You missed the best part with the "annoyed salarian" if you continue touching it, he will say something along the lines of "If you want to touch this so bad, get your own feces analizer!"
There's an "easter egg" in Mass Effect 2 very similar to the one at 4:12 : during the last mission of the shadow broker dlc, when you have to reach the ship fighting on the wing, at a certain point you'll have to open a gate bypassing it and this requires you to wait while facing up 3 waves of enemies; during the fight a dialogue between Shepard and Liara triggers which says something like: - "Do you remember Shepard when you could bypass everything with Omnigel?" - "Yes, lots of people complained about this change" That is a direct reference to the Omnigel tool in ME1 which allowed you to bypass every locker instantly instead of playing the "press buttons in sequence" minigame

Jack is actually a huge reference to movies about Riddick, especially the first one. A bold girl named "Jack", suffering in intergallactic prisons and mercinaries...that's literally the story of Jack/Kira from Pitch Black and Chronicles of Riddick movies.
The Vi on the moon is called Hannibal which after its deactivation by Shepard Cerberus acquired it to combine with fragments of Sovereign and EDI was born. That is why if you choose the destroy ending in ME3 her name is shown on the memorial wall on the Normandy, the Destroy ending results in her death as well as the Geth.
That’s why I’ve never done the destroy ending, I love Edi too much and I worked too hard to broker peace with the geth and quarians to commit genocide against them.
@@willgame4coffee my feelings exactly. I also had rewritten the heretics which meant that more Quarians died before I could broker peace (hey, didn't know when played me2!) so basically EDI dies, Legion sacrifices for naught and many quarians dead for naught. Synthesis, in the end, ain't that bad. True, there's a forced evolution but destroy would force technological regression and Control has its risk. With synthesis, although dna mixes, the races retain free will (yes, EDI says an utopia will develop but that's just how she sees it).
best addition imo was the little "comic" they added on the begining of ME2 thats supposed to remind you what happened in first game. As someone who basically got introduced to ME through ME2 i really missed a short like that.... and it reminded me alot of how Varic was narrating events in DA2
That was actually a mass effect 2 DLC that i got by mistake a few yrs ago (luckily as it turns out cause i couldn't get me1 at the time and the game decided that I romanced ashley, killed wrex, killed ashley on virmire, killed the council and somehow had more paragon then renegade points)
Idk if it’s considered an Easter egg but whoever you romance in ME1, Shepard will have a pic of in ME2 in his/her cabin. But if you choose to romance someone different in ME2 and you go into the cabin, the picture of your old lover is face down
About Morinth: if you chose her instead of Samara, then when you go to the Ardat Yakshi monastery in ME3 some of the logs reference Morinth's attempt to free her sisters.
So I got the refusal ending by accident because 9 year old me on my wii u was like can I shoot this kid so I was completely unaware of the 3 endings for years
If you do the Rogue VI quest then in ME2 when Shepard first enters Normandy, chose the renegade option to protest the AI onboard. Miranda will then explain some interesting stuff to EDI, and those in the conversation.
Also a lesser known Easter egg during the citadel dlc is that there's a present 🎁 behind some crates. Don't remember during which part of the dlc besides its before you can throw a party and do the side activities.
On my first ME2 playthrough I romanced Tali. My second was a femshep, wanted a completely different experience. But when I walked in on Garrus and Tali it was shocking as hell. If there had been a red trigger prompt I would have strangled than turian gigolo.
In relation to the Rachni Song, I've heard it on several other planets. Couldn't tell you which ones. Every time I heard it, I'd be looking around for a giant space monster.
Cool video man, I knew some of those easter eggs, but not all of them. It was nice to discover them. An other easter egg that I love : if you shoot the Catalyst, or refuse the solutions it offers, the Reapers are doomed anyway. In the very last scene of the game, after the credits, you learn that the species of the following cycle will succeed in stopping the Reapers, thanks to Liara's intels left for them.
You left out the best part of the "don't touch that" interaction! If you keep it up for long enough, he says "Fine, get your own feces analyzer."...I stopped touching it after that.
The shifty cow is a joke among the staff. Somebody working on the game said the cows were creeping and shifty looking because they have a set of legs AND long arms. He apparently commented "never trust something that can milk itself" that's where the joke comes from
The moon, which is now called Luna. Well, it is called Luna now and that is why it is called a lunar lander for instance, because it was made to land on Luna. It is also called Selene sometimes. It probably has more names, depending on the country and or language. Moon is what kind of body it is, Luna is its name.
Moon is both in some languages. Probably in ME the idea is that interspace travel has made it to tell "moons" apart from THE moon. (This fact is lost in Italian as "luna" is the only word for both our satellite and the other moons, which makes puns about lunatics quite commonplace).
@@francescodarcangeli4197 Maybe so, but the earth is not the only planet or celestial body to have a moon. Moon being as I said, a type of celestial object and Luna is its name. We often use the moon, and in most cases we speak of Luna, as it is the only moon we can really see with without magnification. Jupiter have 95 known moons for instance, and all have distinct names, the most famous maybe Europa or Io. My point was that in the video, he says the moon which is now called Luna,. However, Luna means moon and Luna is its name. Not some fictional name BioWare gave the moon in ME.
Number 7 was also a thing in andromeda, in a cave where you had to figure out who went to some acid spring or something like that, i think you talk to 3 or 4 people to figure out who it was, anyway there is a salarian there that asks you not to touch a certain button seems like the exact same voice dialog on planet kadarha if im not mistaken
The dialogue after A clone takes over A ship when you find your hamster in a dumpster is the best especially when your crew stands there looking at you
thanks for all those tips ! I've noticed the strange noise on Luna...but never figured out it was rachni song !!! Mass effect is really a true gem from Bioware ! Too bad they didn't do another game of this level after that.... I'm still expecting great thing with the "future" sequel of mass effect
My favorite little detail about mass effect 2 is the crew quarters. Not counting squad mates whom have their own quarters basically there is exactly the right amount of beds for the rest of the crew in the crew quarters on the Normandy SR2.
You missed one related to EDI. When you finish the rouge VI mission a message pops up on screen that is in binary. if you run the message through a binary translator it says HELP ME.
@@judostar11 If you watched the video, he said that in order for Morinth to appear, not only would you need to choose her during her fight with Samara, but she would need to die in the Suicide Mission. While the former is true, the latter isn't. If Morinth survives the suicide mission, she appears as a named banshee on Earth.
Funny tough, the worst ending, is the one who give the best sequel... Imagine that Shepard screw... so the cycle will repeat, but everything else is intact, the mass relays, the cidatel. It would be like Space Mad Max, with the players running around trying to flee the reapers while fighting pirates, scavangers, and other galaxy ending scenarios... if you think about, is the best scenario of all, because it allows a sequel in a different fashion, but still in the same galaxy... Seriously... who TOUGHT it was a good idea making a sequel completly detached from the original trilogy? Set in a galaxy that we basically know NOTHING ABOUT? The worst endind of Mass Effect is THE BEST ENDING of Mass Effect, like, literally like! SCREW this indoctrination, i won't play YOUR GAME. Fun fact...we may lost a good sequel, because folks choose bright colors instead of making a councious choice.
@@efxnews4776 If you shoot the kid and the cycle continues then the reapers literally kill all organic life right there and go back into dark space to wait for the next cycle. So a sequel to that would kind of just be mass effect 1 again, except with new alien races and no humans and no characters that we know about. Basically if Bioware chose that as the cannon ending then we wouldn't get a sequel. Considering that having the reapers wipe out organics is literally wiping the slate clean. It would basically mean that they would have to work harder to redesign the world and characters again and this time without humanity. That's too much work just to make a game they basically already made. Going to another part of the universe is actually a decent idea. Andromeda was fine and only suffered from animations being messed up basically. If we would have given the devs a chance to make a trilogy in the Andromeda system then we would probably have another solid mass effect trilogy.
I honestly like the Refusal ending. Yes, everyone dies but the next cycle manages to stop the Reapers using Liara’s information. It’s bittersweet but dying free rather than giving into what the Catalyst wants fit my Shepard more.
Lol the ME3 ending... I remember at the time how dissapointingly lazy it was, after 3 games to get... that shit served up to you like it's Kobe Steak. Especially as you couldnt argue with the kid even though everything Shepherd had done up to that point (making peace between Quarians & Geth just to name one) proved the Kid's logic was moronic. In a game where your actions up to that point could make a difference, you got railroaded into 3 (or 4) lazy endings. Thankfully it was fixed by various happy ending mods, ( the best of these imo entirely cutting the Star Child out of the game altogether) but you shouldn't have to install a fan mod to get a decent conclusion to something that took 3 games and 5 years to build up to, and console players were stuck with the tripe Bioware came up with.
>Yes, everyone dies but the next cycle manages to stop the Reapers using Liara’s information. No they don't. If there's anything Mass Effect 1 should have taught you, is that the messages of a previous generation doesn't always get properly translated to the next, or at all. The Protheans warned the next cycle of what's going to happen, nobody understood it and less believed it when heard, so the Reaper cycled continued. It is within the realm of possibility, you just repeated the same mistake of the Protheans. >but dying free rather than giving into what the Catalyst wants fit my Shepard more. Throwing everyone to the fire for your own ideals? Definitely a martyr with a grandiose complex.
I like the dark energy storyline, from what I have read. Seems actually plausible. Also, I bet that to some extent, it was likely thought that Shepard has to sacrifice for the rest to live. However, many players wanted their character to survive
You forgot another Easter egg in the Citadel DLC when Shepard touches the fountain during the casino club infiltration mission. You gotta show the response he gets when he doesn't stop.😂
I hesitated clicking on this video because most of these are just clickbait, but this video was awesome! Im happy I decided to give it a try! Thank you for the awesome unique video! I Appreciate you.
Great video! Love stuff like this from people who obviously love the games as much as I do. :-) Edit: I always thought Legion was fascinating, so I was disappointed that you generally get him so late in the game. (I know it's possible to get him earlier, but it always makes more sense to me to do that mission closer to the end.)
The more annoying thing if you get Legion early in-game is the fact that it triggers the mission where the Collectors kidnap your crew after one or two more missions and if you don't go immediately to do the suicide mission, you lose Kelly Chambers, so you kinda miss out that perfect ending opportunity. Personally, I want to have the opportunity to take Legion in different missions without the fear of losing Kelly.
Save the Quarian side quest on the citadel until you have Tali, her interaction is priceless Is it just me or does that Salarian in No7 sound like Garrus Shifty cow ranks higher than Vega in the Armax arena 🤪
The elevator conversation reference reappears in Mass Effect 3 in the Citadel DLC. If you take Garrus and Wrex with you to retake the Normandy, after getting in the elevator to go to the shuttle bay, Garrus will ask if he is the only one who misses their conversations on the elevators, to which Wrex replies with "Yep"
1:57 its name is luna today to. It's the latin name. Just as sol is the latin name for the sun. Hence SOLar system. Which theres only one of in existance.
You need to add something to the first one. Just look at the scoreboard of the Armax Arena on the Citadel (DLC) Also, when you take Tali and Garrus with you on the Geth Dreadnought, they will again talk about Elevators. At least Tali will.
I'll never forget my first playthrough where I was looking at the child and then dropped my controller only to look back up at the Galaxy getting wiped out
Garrus has another elevator line in the citadel dlc for me3. I had him and Wrex in my party when it happened and Wrex said something similar to what Tali said although I’m not sure if that dialogue is exclusive to him
Here's an idea for a LE video. 10 differences between the original games, and LE. And no, not just the stuff we've all seen in the trailers. Not the stuff they advertise. As one example, is that one mission in ME1. I forget the name, but, you're tracking a nuke, in a mine, and get trapped, and contacted by some terrorist, I believe. In the original game, said terrorist is human, but has a turian name, turian esque voice, and overall dialogue fits a turian. In LE however, he IS a turian, not human. Another, similar video? Possible bugs/problems/etc, that exist in both versions. As an example? Also in ME1, there's one mission that has you talk to a survivor of Akuze's thresher maw attack. In both versions, he'll talk to Shepard as if Shepard was a Sole Survivor, regardless of the actual service record chosen. Oh, another video? Potential story threads that went nowhere. I can name 2. 1 is that Prothean artifact, in ME1. You get a vision if you put in the trinket from the Consort. Seeing that vision is flagged in the save file, but it never goes anywhere in 2 or 3. Another story thread that went nowhere was Haestrom's sun. It dying quickly went nowhere as well.
@@MrHulthen You're welcome. Another thing about that human/turian guy? He was a Skyllian Blitz survivor, and has different dialogue for War Heroes. Or, another bug of sorts that didn't change? In ME2, you can buy a model of a shuttle for the display cabinet, but what's there isn't a shuttle, it's a cruiser, I think. One thing I am curious about though, related to that? In ME3's beginning, Ashley/Kaidan will say "They're going to take down that dreadnought!" When it's really a cruiser, but it was too late to change line or model. Not sure if that was fixed or not.
Its funny about the potential story threads that went no where. Haestrom's sun dying too quickly by dark matter, there was a LOT more to that in definitely me2 and possible me1 but i forget. Wrex upon killing the thresher maw with grunt "next you'll be telling me he's a quint that craps dark matter". Citadel dlc party james's vs half the biotics in the room, shepard says "come on james we're talking about harnessing dark energy here" Noveria Internal affairs chick says her bosses are worried about dark matter etc etc... Basically that WAS the ending of the trilogy. Reapers invade cause dark energy screws things up like suns on planets that arent called Haestrom. Then it supposedly got leaked and cowards changed it to subvert people's expectations of the end. Guess they didnt realise that would be the worst mistake Bioware's ever done
When I played ME3 on release, it took me forever to get to the end. When I was finally there I couldn't decide what to do, so I just started randomly shooting at things and one of them happened to be that damn catalyst..
I never thought honestly were the Rachni to produce those sounds. I think it's some kind of strange alien race, probably not Reapers cause we never heard actual sounds like this from them but who knows
@@hyhena-gaming9986 her day if reckoning has yet to come and we know nothing of Mass Effect 4 she might not be so peaceful if we took the destroy option

Idk if it’s considered an Easter egg but whoever you romance in ME1, Shepard will have a pic of in ME2 in his/her cabin. But if you choose to romance someone different in ME2 and you go into the cabin, the picture of your old lover is face down
About Morinth: if you chose her instead of Samara, then when you go to the Ardat Yakshi monastery in ME3 some of the logs reference Morinth's attempt to free her sisters.
I annoy that Salarian on Sur'Kesh every time I play ME3. Love it!
So I got the refusal ending by accident because 9 year old me on my wii u was like can I shoot this kid so I was completely unaware of the 3 endings for years
Haha woopsie
Welcome to the club. First time i played ME3 i thought the same thing and i immediately regretted my decision.
If you do the Rogue VI quest then in ME2 when Shepard first enters Normandy, chose the renegade option to protest the AI onboard. Miranda will then explain some interesting stuff to EDI, and those in the conversation.
I appreciate the oblivion guard meme
It just fits the moment 😉
Me too
Also a lesser known Easter egg during the citadel dlc is that there's a present 🎁 behind some crates. Don't remember during which part of the dlc besides its before you can throw a party and do the side activities.
It’s in the archives.
"They're even better together than with shepard"
That my good sir is where you're wrong lol
Aw, you don’t think they’re adorable together?
🤣
@@MrHulthen I'm just joking their relationship is really cute
i agree with garrus x tali, with the new mass effect teaser, ill cnfirm it tht shep go with liara
They have the same DNA so it's appropriate!
On my first ME2 playthrough I romanced Tali. My second was a femshep, wanted a completely different experience. But when I walked in on Garrus and Tali it was shocking as hell. If there had been a red trigger prompt I would have strangled than turian gigolo.
🤣🤣
In relation to the Rachni Song, I've heard it on several other planets. Couldn't tell you which ones. Every time I heard it, I'd be looking around for a giant space monster.
"Never Trust a Cow that can Milk Itself..."
Never knew about that thieving space cow or Legion doing the Robot (terribly). Pretty cool.
Cool video man, I knew some of those easter eggs, but not all of them. It was nice to discover them.
An other easter egg that I love : if you shoot the Catalyst, or refuse the solutions it offers, the Reapers are doomed anyway. In the very last scene of the game, after the credits, you learn that the species of the following cycle will succeed in stopping the Reapers, thanks to Liara's intels left for them.
You left out the best part of the "don't touch that" interaction! If you keep it up for long enough, he says "Fine, get your own feces analyzer."...I stopped touching it after that.
Yeah i oopsed on that part
The shifty cow is a joke among the staff. Somebody working on the game said the cows were creeping and shifty looking because they have a set of legs AND long arms. He apparently commented "never trust something that can milk itself" that's where the joke comes from
i was hoping it was a nod to Diablo's cow level...
The moon, which is now called Luna. Well, it is called Luna now and that is why it is called a lunar lander for instance, because it was made to land on Luna. It is also called Selene sometimes. It probably has more names, depending on the country and or language. Moon is what kind of body it is, Luna is its name.
Moon is both in some languages. Probably in ME the idea is that interspace travel has made it to tell "moons" apart from THE moon.
(This fact is lost in Italian as "luna" is the only word for both our satellite and the other moons, which makes puns about lunatics quite commonplace).
@@francescodarcangeli4197 Maybe so, but the earth is not the only planet or celestial body to have a moon. Moon being as I said, a type of celestial object and Luna is its name. We often use the moon, and in most cases we speak of Luna, as it is the only moon we can really see with without magnification. Jupiter have 95 known moons for instance, and all have distinct names, the most famous maybe Europa or Io. My point was that in the video, he says the moon which is now called Luna,. However, Luna means moon and Luna is its name. Not some fictional name BioWare gave the moon in ME.
Number 7 was also a thing in andromeda, in a cave where you had to figure out who went to some acid spring or something like that, i think you talk to 3 or 4 people to figure out who it was, anyway there is a salarian there that asks you not to touch a certain button seems like the exact same voice dialog on planet kadarha if im not mistaken
Yeah i heard he returned lol :D
we all touched that button its our nature
@@reform-revolution the shiny, red, candy-like button!! Will he resist?? CAN HE RESIST?!?!
Should have given Jack her own powers on top of being a phantom. Would have been pretty epic.
My favorite is in ME3 with Grunt passed out in your shower saying "I'm a space cowboy"...as he is the voice actor of Spike in Cowboy Bepop
OK I have no idea about #9 8:50 and P.S. That will NEVER happen in ANY of my playthroughs. EVER.
The dialogue after A clone takes over A ship when you find your hamster in a dumpster is the best especially when your crew stands there looking at you
thanks for all those tips !
I've noticed the strange noise on Luna...but never figured out it was rachni song !!!
Mass effect is really a true gem from Bioware !
Too bad they didn't do another game of this level after that.... I'm still expecting great thing with the "future" sequel of mass effect
You're welcome :)
Fun fact: the moon is actually called Luna.
And, in turn, the sun is actually called Sol.
"Moon" and "sun" are common nouns not proper nouns.
WANT DOING YOUR LINKSNING 🛸 🚇 🚨 📟 🚌📟 🚆🚨 ⌨ ⌨ ⌨
Actually, Luna and Sol are just the Latin names for "the Moon" and "the Sun", which are what they are known as colloquially in English.
Isn't Earth also actually called Terra?
@@GamesCooky Terra Firma, I believe.
My favorite little detail about mass effect 2 is the crew quarters. Not counting squad mates whom have their own quarters basically there is exactly the right amount of beds for the rest of the crew in the crew quarters on the Normandy SR2.
You missed one related to EDI. When you finish the rouge VI mission a message pops up on screen that is in binary. if you run the message through a binary translator it says HELP ME.
Shepard - *Takes the ship to the orbit of Uranus*
Joker - *Ear to ear grin*
EDI - "Oh no..."
Really, Commander?
9:12 - Morinth doesn't need to die in ME2. As long as you pick her instead of Samara, she'll always return in ME3 as a Banshee.
@@judostar11 If you watched the video, he said that in order for Morinth to appear, not only would you need to choose her during her fight with Samara, but she would need to die in the Suicide Mission. While the former is true, the latter isn't. If Morinth survives the suicide mission, she appears as a named banshee on Earth.
@@DarkwyndPT You're right, I misread. I thought you said, she returns as a banshee even if you picked Samara instead of her.
@@judostar11 Is OK.
Ever try Ramen? It's a delicacy back on Earth.
I ran into those cows and didn't notice the shifty one crazy lol
eh you basically gotta look for it to find it xD
I got the refuse ending on my first playthrough cuz i thought all the other choices were shite....man was i disappointed
🤣🤣
So was I. Only tried it after it was released to hear the dialogue.
The Catalyst Kid is the most annoying and hypocritical endgame entity- ever.
@@Wryteous agreed
Funny tough, the worst ending, is the one who give the best sequel...
Imagine that Shepard screw... so the cycle will repeat, but everything else is intact, the mass relays, the cidatel.
It would be like Space Mad Max, with the players running around trying to flee the reapers while fighting pirates, scavangers, and other galaxy ending scenarios... if you think about, is the best scenario of all, because it allows a sequel in a different fashion, but still in the same galaxy...
Seriously... who TOUGHT it was a good idea making a sequel completly detached from the original trilogy? Set in a galaxy that we basically know NOTHING ABOUT?
The worst endind of Mass Effect is THE BEST ENDING of Mass Effect, like, literally like! SCREW this indoctrination, i won't play YOUR GAME.
Fun fact...we may lost a good sequel, because folks choose bright colors instead of making a councious choice.
@@efxnews4776 If you shoot the kid and the cycle continues then the reapers literally kill all organic life right there and go back into dark space to wait for the next cycle. So a sequel to that would kind of just be mass effect 1 again, except with new alien races and no humans and no characters that we know about.
Basically if Bioware chose that as the cannon ending then we wouldn't get a sequel. Considering that having the reapers wipe out organics is literally wiping the slate clean. It would basically mean that they would have to work harder to redesign the world and characters again and this time without humanity. That's too much work just to make a game they basically already made. Going to another part of the universe is actually a decent idea. Andromeda was fine and only suffered from animations being messed up basically. If we would have given the devs a chance to make a trilogy in the Andromeda system then we would probably have another solid mass effect trilogy.
Edi was a combination of the Luna VI and the money funneling AI on the citadel. Nice
6:44 Throw some hi hats, 808s, and some snare, and you’ve got a killer beat
I honestly like the Refusal ending. Yes, everyone dies but the next cycle manages to stop the Reapers using Liara’s information. It’s bittersweet but dying free rather than giving into what the Catalyst wants fit my Shepard more.
Lol the ME3 ending... I remember at the time how dissapointingly lazy it was, after 3 games to get... that shit served up to you like it's Kobe Steak.
Especially as you couldnt argue with the kid even though everything Shepherd had done up to that point (making peace between Quarians & Geth just to name one) proved the Kid's logic was moronic.
In a game where your actions up to that point could make a difference, you got railroaded into 3 (or 4) lazy endings.
Thankfully it was fixed by various happy ending mods, ( the best of these imo entirely cutting the Star Child out of the game altogether) but you shouldn't have to install a fan mod to get a decent conclusion to something that took 3 games and 5 years to build up to, and console players were stuck with the tripe Bioware came up with.
>Yes, everyone dies but the next cycle manages to stop the Reapers using Liara’s information.
No they don't. If there's anything Mass Effect 1 should have taught you, is that the messages of a previous generation doesn't always get properly translated to the next, or at all. The Protheans warned the next cycle of what's going to happen, nobody understood it and less believed it when heard, so the Reaper cycled continued.
It is within the realm of possibility, you just repeated the same mistake of the Protheans.
>but dying free rather than giving into what the Catalyst wants fit my Shepard more.
Throwing everyone to the fire for your own ideals? Definitely a martyr with a grandiose complex.
@@LamborghiniDiabloSVPursuit Stop wasting your time. I don’t agree with this comment any more
Ah yes. The anti-vaxxer ending. “Bbbbbbut mah freedoms”
I like the dark energy storyline, from what I have read. Seems actually plausible. Also, I bet that to some extent, it was likely thought that Shepard has to sacrifice for the rest to live. However, many players wanted their character to survive
You forgot another Easter egg in the Citadel DLC when Shepard touches the fountain during the casino club infiltration mission.
You gotta show the response he gets when he doesn't stop.😂
I hesitated clicking on this video because most of these are just clickbait, but this video was awesome! Im happy I decided to give it a try! Thank you for the awesome unique video! I Appreciate you.
I'm glad i didn't disappoint you :D clickbait has become somewhat of a necessity on RUclips but i do my best to keep it truthful to the video
"Do you love touching stuff?"
YESSS! THE BUTTON!
Great video! Love stuff like this from people who obviously love the games as much as I do. :-)
Edit: I always thought Legion was fascinating, so I was disappointed that you generally get him so late in the game. (I know it's possible to get him earlier, but it always makes more sense to me to do that mission closer to the end.)
The more annoying thing if you get Legion early in-game is the fact that it triggers the mission where the Collectors kidnap your crew after one or two more missions and if you don't go immediately to do the suicide mission, you lose Kelly Chambers, so you kinda miss out that perfect ending opportunity. Personally, I want to have the opportunity to take Legion in different missions without the fear of losing Kelly.
Save the Quarian side quest on the citadel until you have Tali, her interaction is priceless
Is it just me or does that Salarian in No7 sound like Garrus
Shifty cow ranks higher than Vega in the Armax arena 🤪
The elevator conversation reference reappears in Mass Effect 3 in the Citadel DLC. If you take Garrus and Wrex with you to retake the Normandy, after getting in the elevator to go to the shuttle bay, Garrus will ask if he is the only one who misses their conversations on the elevators, to which Wrex replies with "Yep"
What kills me the most about probing Uranus is the fact that the resource status is Depleted. Shepard wasn't the first to probe Uranus
it all feels like part of the joke- its already depleted so you really have no reason to send a probe other than for a laugh
I knew about all these! Incidentally, it's SOOOOOOOOOO hard to resist shooting Starbrat.
The shifty cow was also a inside dev joke on the small cow hands and how they looked like they were ready to steal your money from you.
Ew! Nooo!😖
Tali HANDS Off!
Garrus is mine!😖
Beat it!😖
This is curse!
Kinda cringe bro
Number 8. Garrus is performing "tali-brations".
Something, something, big gun XD
Man the shifty cow got me💀🤣
1:57 its name is luna today to. It's the latin name. Just as sol is the latin name for the sun. Hence SOLar system. Which theres only one of in existance.
The rachini song can be heard in other planets as well
Legion doing the robot is the best thing I've ever seen
The moon has always been called Luna. That’s it’s official name…
You need to add something to the first one. Just look at the scoreboard of the Armax Arena on the Citadel (DLC)
Also, when you take Tali and Garrus with you on the Geth Dreadnought, they will again talk about Elevators. At least Tali will.
I’m gonna try and do a play through where I romance Liara instead of Tali, but I think I’m gonna end up getting too jealous of her and Garrus tbh
Love how you added the oblivion voice 😂
I'll never forget my first playthrough where I was looking at the child and then dropped my controller only to look back up at the Galaxy getting wiped out
I would love to see more of that through all the games
I spent at least 1/3 of ME1 at the credit cap, if the cow wants a few he can have them.
I didn't know about Legion dancing or the tea leafing cow!! That's pretty funny.......makes sense why it has those funny little arms now!
Garrus has another elevator line in the citadel dlc for me3. I had him and Wrex in my party when it happened and Wrex said something similar to what Tali said although I’m not sure if that dialogue is exclusive to him
Here's an idea for a LE video. 10 differences between the original games, and LE. And no, not just the stuff we've all seen in the trailers. Not the stuff they advertise. As one example, is that one mission in ME1. I forget the name, but, you're tracking a nuke, in a mine, and get trapped, and contacted by some terrorist, I believe. In the original game, said terrorist is human, but has a turian name, turian esque voice, and overall dialogue fits a turian. In LE however, he IS a turian, not human. Another, similar video? Possible bugs/problems/etc, that exist in both versions. As an example? Also in ME1, there's one mission that has you talk to a survivor of Akuze's thresher maw attack. In both versions, he'll talk to Shepard as if Shepard was a Sole Survivor, regardless of the actual service record chosen. Oh, another video? Potential story threads that went nowhere. I can name 2. 1 is that Prothean artifact, in ME1. You get a vision if you put in the trinket from the Consort. Seeing that vision is flagged in the save file, but it never goes anywhere in 2 or 3. Another story thread that went nowhere was Haestrom's sun. It dying quickly went nowhere as well.
Thank you for the wonderful ideas! I'll try to get on that! : D
@@MrHulthen You're welcome. Another thing about that human/turian guy? He was a Skyllian Blitz survivor, and has different dialogue for War Heroes. Or, another bug of sorts that didn't change? In ME2, you can buy a model of a shuttle for the display cabinet, but what's there isn't a shuttle, it's a cruiser, I think. One thing I am curious about though, related to that? In ME3's beginning, Ashley/Kaidan will say "They're going to take down that dreadnought!" When it's really a cruiser, but it was too late to change line or model. Not sure if that was fixed or not.
Its funny about the potential story threads that went no where. Haestrom's sun dying too quickly by dark matter, there was a LOT more to that in definitely me2 and possible me1 but i forget. Wrex upon killing the thresher maw with grunt "next you'll be telling me he's a quint that craps dark matter". Citadel dlc party james's vs half the biotics in the room, shepard says "come on james we're talking about harnessing dark energy here" Noveria Internal affairs chick says her bosses are worried about dark matter etc etc... Basically that WAS the ending of the trilogy. Reapers invade cause dark energy screws things up like suns on planets that arent called Haestrom. Then it supposedly got leaked and cowards changed it to subvert people's expectations of the end. Guess they didnt realise that would be the worst mistake Bioware's ever done
Bruh... was it really necessary to use that on Morinth?😆
xD
Easy way to correct mistakes...
"I have a shotgun" Tali is just the absolute best.
When I played ME3 on release, it took me forever to get to the end. When I was finally there I couldn't decide what to do, so I just started randomly shooting at things and one of them happened to be that damn catalyst..
You can annoy another Salarian in Mass Effect Andromeda by repeatedly pressing a "mysterious button." I think it was on Kadara
I never thought honestly were the Rachni to produce those sounds. I think it's some kind of strange alien race, probably not Reapers cause we never heard actual sounds like this from them but who knows
That's funny. On the VI assignment I actually made a joke about EDI when I ran it.
many has it figured out but the number combination that the vi on luna shouted was help after shuting her down
I miss that they removed the cinematic trailer for ME1 from the main menu, I believe it was called "Distress Call", wish they remade it
The elevator convos are int the OG mass affect 2 still funny
That cow is weird as hell reminds me of that scp statue that snaps your neck the moment you take your eyes off it
"tell me more about your immune system"
"i have a shotgun"
I just realise how much I played this games by having found all of these on my own. xD
It took me a while to understand that probing part but the moment I did I died laughing💀 oh yes, 5 yr old humour is the best
the old easter eggs were always fun to find .... and finding out EDI was the rogue "VI" on Luna was a nice surprise
She helped you specialize your class by beating her so she was helpful then I guess…I’m glad rage has no harsh feelings
@@hyhena-gaming9986 her day if reckoning has yet to come and we know nothing of Mass Effect 4 she might not be so peaceful if we took the destroy option
I thought the chocolate thing was a joke on garrus’s part and talk was laughing at him lol
Mass Effect 3 - Citadel DLC - sliver sun casino. Repeatedly touch the waterfall
Nothing related to this video at all but... My first playthrough of Mass Effect 3, during a mission with a special Asari Justicar, I accidentally looked away during the third game when the Paragon prompt appeared and you had to stop Samara from... well, doing something really sad and scary.
I have basically made it my goal never to look away from any details ever again. XD
haha oops. that's happened to me too lol, never looked away again since
Shifty Cow shows up in ME3 on the citadel DLC. Hes in the Armax Arena on the leaderboard 😄
I think the cow ester egg is a referance a adventure time
For number 8? It will never gonna happen in my playthrough...like ever.
Anybody who even picks the refuse ending is a complete insane maniac
I'm Renegade Sheperd, and this is my favorite moment on the Citadel. ;)
