@@gwendolynsnyder463 I like to believe that in 2186, a good 164 years after the origination of the "ok, boomer" meme... all boomers are dead by then... yet, the "ok boomer" meme finds itself resurrected for a very important cause... Javik the Prothean was reawakened and half the shit that comes out of his mouth just makes you want to go "ok, boomer". And thus the meme resurged, because much like protheans and Commander Shepard, legends never die.
The "Without all that 'affection' all I have in my life is death. And that's not enough" line always hits me during this conversation. It reminds me why I love ME3 so much despite its problematic ending. It really showcases Shepard's emotional side the most out of all three games, especially the importance of her loved ones. Don't get me wrong, the other games also showed how much she cared about her crew/friend but ME3 just really nails it on the head. She NEEDS these people more than they need her, honestly
I think so too. My Shep is always carrying the fate of the galaxy on the back. Its only the friends and loved ones that are keeping Shep going. Otherwise our protagonist would definetly break
I admire the last part of that scene. "If you can live by it." It shows off that while Shepard was right in her thinking about "letting old ghosts rest", she knows that line of thinking has flaws.
Yeah, that's the big difference between Javik's cycle and ours. The Protheans ran on pride, and the superiority of their race over others. But their world view was based on a flawed idea of evolution: That the strong are always meant to dominate the weak (breaking news, that isn't how evolution works). Suddenly the Reapers were the strongest in the galaxy, and the Protheans were evidentially worse by their own logic. It's no wonder they ended up failing. Their client races probably hated them enough to not work with them and choose to fall for the reapers instead.
It is flawed but Javik’s memories are much worse. Unlike Shepard he witnessed his own team getting indoctrinated. And considering he had to end their lives he would feel guilty if he saw those memories again
I always chose the renegade option with the echo shard. Javik says that; when they beat the reapers; he's gonna end his life if you have him remember from the echo shard.
I take the paragon choice on my play, and Javik tells he wanted to end his life, but on the final run to the beam, i take him with me, and he was the one wounded that Shepard at to bring at the Normandy, and the dialogue i had in this scene make me think that Javik would not kill himself.
@@lordmazdamundi2847 I thought that in the end, Javik befriended Liara if he was taken with Liara to Thessia. Idk anymore if Javik or Liara mentioned it, I gotta replay the game, but one of them mentioned that they'll travel the world, to write a book called "travelling with the Prothean" or something.
It's a graphical bug that only shows up in that game area -- possibly due to the "Alpha layer" of Shepard's hair & how it reacts to the specific lighting system in that section of the Normandy. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (Vanilla orig. release) had a similar issue -- your character's hair would become translucent during dust storms, heavy fog, Blight storms or underwater sequences (if I remember correctly). Easy solution was to slap on a helmet....
I feel like Andromeda gets a bad rap, it really wasn't _that_ bad (as long as you played it after all the updates, lmao) It doesn't stand up to the trilogy, but it was still fun, and the character interactions were actually nice. I feel like if it were its own standalone game rather than Mass Effect and didn't have such a janky launch, people would've liked it.
I didn't go talk to him when I was with garrus, but i did with thane. All he says is there was a sick drell there and shep just says "thane". Made me sad that's all it was since everyone else it seems there was more to it. Garrus with the pheromones and her affection line, etc. Thane romance route really got shafted it seems 😔
It was fine with me. But I did play on PC. I had a shadow problem though. During cutscenes, the character's faces had too much shadow on them, almost eclipse-like. I fixed it using an unofficial patch from nexus mods.
Well...Javik made a mentioning comment about my Male Shepard and Ashley. :D And it made me smile. Still tho...I've let him touch the Echo Shard...because I planning two different endings for him as well.
"I'm not, your pheromones are"
Shepard: **Awkwardly glances away**
Shepard: "Oooookay then"
I'd have laughed my ass off if Shepard answered with "Ok boomer"

It's again highlighted during the showdown of the citadel DLC. "What makes you so damn special?!"
Its the best work for both mark meer and jennifer hale

Oh wow your Shepard looks so much like Selina Kyle/Catwoman from Tom King's Batman Run
Literally my last video was watching some Catwoman scenes from the 90s Batman lmao
Shepard's hair fading out of existance like the memory of the Proteans
1:05 It´s called 5 gum.
Lol :D
I thought the same lmfao
Why does it look like Shepard’s hair is a hologram every time he/she enters the cargo hold?

I like how Javik speaks
"to faaht the ripars"
This scene alone has better writing than all of Andromeda. You feel every word being spoken.
Still andromeda wasn’t that bad

@@GoddoDoggo characters in andromeda were just copy paste. A gay, a lesbian navigator, an asari... Everyone of same character concepts like in me 3
@@Gooberwares The issue with andromeda is the horrible animations, i mean mass effect 1 looks looks better than that.

He was always a nosy bastard
For someone who has none
Why are the graphics always shit in only Javik's room? Look at the hair.
Just wait until legendary edition arrives
Yup just wait, imagine all that crisp clean graphics and close your eyes.
It was fine with me. But I did play on PC.
I had a shadow problem though. During cutscenes, the character's faces had too much shadow on them, almost eclipse-like. I fixed it using an unofficial patch from nexus mods.
Fortunately, I can confirm its been fixed in the Legendary Edition
That's the most alive I would say human but he isn't I've seen seen Javik in the entire game
Ah yes, he mentioned me and kaidan when I did my playthrough ♡
Shepard pulled some real rimuru stuff with trying to save everyone
Well...Javik made a mentioning comment about my Male Shepard and Ashley. :D And it made me smile. Still tho...I've let him touch the Echo Shard...because I planning two different endings for him as well.
That "Yes" like wtf Javik what does that even mean 🤣🤔
Why is femshep's hair transparent?
She just has horrible taste in conditioners
bug
It's a bug, it happened to my Shepard too
It's a persistent bug specific to that area of the ship (and therefore exclusive to the From Ashes DLC)
Your shepard is pretty cross-eyed.
EEEEEEEWW
?
Javik: "I didn't say that. Your pheromones did."
Shepard: "Ok boomer."
