@@arsenelupin1854 Was really hoping they’d add more trophy hunter achievements to Legendary Edition, like visit all planets in the game or collect every possibly fish etc. Oh well, at least I get the personal satisfaction of doing those things 😊
The pull-ups scene was interesting when I first played the citadel dlc. I started it. And then it kept going. And going. And going. I lost count and I was just thinking “end already!” But I couldn’t let James, with his smug attitude, have the satisfaction of beating a superior officer. Only Garrus can do that. 😆
Same here. Let James win? No way! :) Garrus is more complicated. I've always stopped considering the choice, but so far I always decided to hit the bottle. My reasoning mainly being that as a turian, he respects military prowess and that's a more important bond for the greater cause than personal friendship and gestures.
@@TheZoltan-42 I always let him win because he has grown so much, but always stays in Shepard’s shadow. Let him have this one thing he’s better at than us. It feels good, and also the “I’m Garrus Vakarian and this is my favorite spot on the Citadel!” victory shout are priceless. Garrus achieves peak Shepard at that moment and it feels great.
I am one of those maniacs that failed at 1,9,19,29,39,49,59,69,79,89,99,109,119,129,139,149,159,169,179,182 - James actually has different reactions ranging from "I guess we found what Shapard aint good at" or something similar" on 1 pull up fail to "So close, So damn close" when I failed on the last 182nd pull up.
The Citadel DLC is all fan service and shenanigans and I'm 100% there. Not to mention some of the most challenging combat with the boss fight on insanity and the Armax arena.
That detail about the Carnifex heavy pistol also hit me like a bus. I've also noticed now that in almost all encounters in ME3, Shepard uses the default predator heavy pistol but in that encounter with mordin, he uses the carnifex. So, bioware created a poetic but sad storyline. 😥
@@M.AZZAM8976 I agree, but I do wonder how many people would have sabotaged the Genophage if it didn't involve shooting Mordin. Because the arguments for the Sabotage are not completely off, and at least from a roleplaying standpoint, it would make absolute sense why a Shep would think "yeah, the Krogan are kind of unstable warmongers, and once Wrex is no longer in power, having them multiply like crzay might NOT be the best idea". Let's keep in mind, Wrex is in power because most people know that his more peaceful approach is necessary for survival because the Krogan aren't as strong as they used to be. I wouldn't be too sure if a majority of Krogan would still follow him when the Krogan have the power to dominate the galaxy again.
Also funnily enough, it’s used by Shepard (when he’s injured at least) and Anderson during Priority Earth. So the Carnifex is connected to not one, but arguably two, popular ME characters.
I laughed out loud at Tali trying to shoot Legion; you can also bring Legion along for Tali's loyalty mission and oh BOY did they prepare some custom dialog of Quarians absolutely losing their minds.
Sadly Legion doesn't make much difference other than his arrival, my goal in bringing him to the Quarian ship was to make a point that some Geth can be reasonable but they never bring this topic up.
If you haven't yet try doing a playthrough without doing Lair of the Shadowbroker, then in ME3 ignore Liara throughout the game but keep talking to Edi. Edi will then get to the comment about Liara Keeping stuff from her and calling her a blabbermouth, Edi then spills that Liara is the Shadow Broker and Shepard goes.. "Wait, she's what?" then Edi goes "Oh, uhm.... maybe you should talk to Liara."
@@sandrogamer30018 I tend to ignore him as much as possible and if needed, kill him off. Tbh he isn't a favorite for me. Now excuse me while I hide. I fear the Garrus fanbase breathing down my neck lmao
A couple of my favorite rare ones involve Tali. If you wait till after Priority: Rannoch to do Tuchanka: Turian Platoon you will get some cool unique dialogue after the mission between Tali and EDI where EDI compares the Victus’ relationship to Tali and her father’s. Also if you side exclusively with the Quarians on Rannoch and are in a romance with Tali after the mission Javik will say he is happy you didn’t side with the geth and will say this exact quote, “Your Quarian seems pleased. Perhaps she will reward you with a reproductive ritual.”
This should be achievable only for soldiers and vanguard. Also shooting bottle when talking with garrus should be only for infiltrator and soildier class. And made a few more choices only for specific class.
@@Just_a-guy fair enough, having more than the one class-specific narrative option we got would've been great. in this scenario i always chalked shep's strength up to them being mostly cybernetics and metal after the me2 intro, but they didn't really go into detail on that, so who knows
@Jordan Dennis Unrealistic? Femshep has been genetically altered, stuffed with cybernetics and Reaper tech, installed all types of upgrades (researched and bought during ME2), and has been a super soldier for years. I think that would bring this scenario into the realm of possibility.
I always find it morbidly funny how across the whole trilogy we basically watch Batarians getting wiped out of existence and almost nobody in galaxy even noticed.
I was honestly expecting that, while I was grinding through it. "Oh wow you really did 183? My record was only 91 and I just doubled it to see you do it."
If you also complete the Leviathan DLC prior to the Citadel DLC, then when you find the hamster in the bin and interact with it, you can also hear the Husk head screaming from the bottom of the dumpster.
i think it's a well-known detail, but if you take garrus to mordin's loyalty mission, he says that there's no fun in battles in clinics. then he says that he enjoys fighting in gardens, electronic shops and fancy antique shops. then in citadel dlc when you sneak into the normandy before the last clone battle, you can take garrus with you and he says that fighting in normandy cic is even more fun than in gardens, electronic and antique shops. this dialogue occurs only if you took him to mordin's loyalty mission
I got this dialogue and I took Tali with me on Mordin's loyalty mission. I remember it being weird because they still do the banter but it had no context.
I remember doing the pull up record thing once I finally got my hands on the citadel DLC through the legendary edition, I love that bioware didn't just have it fade to black and pick back up near the last couple reps, they actually made you do all 183.
I didn't know that dialogue with Garrus even existed. But I've tried this once with James by avoiding him until priority earth and he only seemed to have his usual conversation and sparring with Shepard. So, i don't thing such a unique dialogue exists with James. But I'm not sure about the other squadmates though.
on my first playthrouh i didnt care for James and i visited him right before Earth and he mentioned how I mustve forgot he was down there, so there is unique dialogue there but it was also because i probably didnt take him on many missions either
@@DeadManSinging1 You can always save the DLC for post-endgame, though his dialogue will be limited. I don’t think he even has anything to add during Overlord, which is weird.
Another interesting feature of Boo, Shepard's miniature giant space hamster. Once he is in his cage, and you complete the citadel dlc involving the Leviathan from me3, you also keep an active, snarleling husk head on your desk(you do this by letting James play around with the head kept in Byson's office. If James does this enough, he asks if you guys can keep it, to which Shepard agrees. It will show up in your cabin not long after). It usually just snarls at shepard if you get too close to it, but if you stand just right at the bathroom door, Boo is closer to it then Shepard. The husk head will look up & see Boo, snarling at him instead. Boo gets scared and scampers back inside his home.
I honestly completed the James push up challenge on the first try. And I don't know if I feel amazed/surprised or ridiculous on myself after doing that. Lol
i found the space hamster in ME3 by complete accident, i went down to jacks hidey hole in search of some model ships, and heard a lil squeak. freaked me tf out until i saw it scuttering across the ground. i was already about 75% of the way through the game and he’d been wandering around down there the whole time! i was upset lmaooo
In the Citidel DLC during the party when you see Mordin's recordings, Mordin heavily implies that he had a one night stand with Aria and managed to escape when she tried to kill him after the sex
You forgot to add the detail about the Husk head, from the Leviathan DLC. About how it will interact with your hamster in your cabin, and you can hear it screaming from the bottom of the trash bin in Citadel DLC.
What i saw in mass effect is in the leviathan quest line you are able to take the husk head thats on the desk when James visits at the office later on in the DLC when the clone cleans out your room you hear the head screaming in the trash can
One of my favorite things to do, even on a mostly paragon playthrough, is to not reveal the sabotage and do Ren responses during the final conversation with Mordin. I even go as far as pulling the gun, but I don't pull the trigger. In that senerio, Mordin doesn't say his seashell line, but gets that awesome "I made a mistake!" monologue. It's a well done moment and I usually do it with Ren playthroughs as well to show the line my Shep isn't willing to cross: killing those they love.
This is if you collected both the space hamster and the husk head from the Leviathan DLC: In the Citadel DLC, when you interact with the space hamster in the garbage, listen closely and you can hear the husk head groaning underneath everything.
I literally got the Ignoring Garrus scene yesterday haha. Also something else that I found out: If you finish Priority: Citadel without going to Grissom Academy, Samantha will inform you afterwards that everyone at Grissom probably died, but the students may have escaped. (Since you were busy curing the Genophage and all that) WOOPS
Shep will also toss away the Carnifex even if they do everything the same EXCEPT for firing the gun as Mordin goes up to stop the Genophage. Which is actually a good storytelling point as either Shep tosses it to show the dissolution of their friendship or that Shep cant believe they were willing to try and do so and being disgusted with themselves.
If you’ve already done leviathan and you took the husk head then when you do citadel you can hear the husk head in the bin with the hamster freaking out
I knew he always had that pistol regardless of what weapon given it's used every time I see the scene, but never made that connection. I did know about the space hamster one but didn't know about the extra dialogue. After the initia phrase is said.
Yeah, for the longest time I plan on doing renegade playthrough but then I realize there these moments my stomach just wouldn´t be able to handle. This, or Overlord ending. And few more.
I feel like Shepard throwing away the pistol isn't about him discarding his friendship with Mordin. Feels more like he throws it away in disgust at what he had to do.
Pull ups are easy, you can click both actions and it still counts it. So you can just click them both each few seconds during for example watching this video.
I just now realized James has the same actor as Kanan from Rebels and Fred from the old live action Scooby-Doo movies, I think this revelation makes me like the character even more than I did!
Every time I hear it, I loose my mind LAUGHING at the hamster monologue. I think about it all the time and it's my go to 30 ish second monologue. Both Meer and Hale deliver it with so much anger and resentment like that was the WORST thing the clone could have possibly ever done and it is an unforgivable sin that deserves death and I love it and I LIVE for it. It is what I showed my friend when shed asked about the series
1:25 “I’d wager about 100% of you have never seen this dialogue.” Literally I thought it was the default thing Garrus said during his first convo since I always forget about him
@@sandrogamer30018 I wouldn’t even go so far as to say I despise him, I just find him kinda boring on the whole, so by the time I get to ME3 I gotta remind myself he exists every time I’m checking in with my crew. And that reminder usually doesn’t sink in until like after tuchanka or something. Which is kinda funny to me too since I primarily play FemShep and all the garrus fans seem to love that romance for some reason but i always find it as awkward as the Tali romance but way less endearing so these days I’m pretty much exclusively romancing Liara or Traynor. Kinda wish jack hadn’t been turned straight by the news
@@mamboonthetube7652 Garrus is just a puppy that follows you everywhere and say "Yes master." and "Though choice but you did good Master". Tali follows you every step but at least her moral compass can clash with yours and she doesn't have issues to say her doubts and disagreetments. Characters that shows friction are the most interesting to me. And sorry but Liara is another very boring character to me lol. Yeah once again Foxe News came to ruin every bisexual romance as usual. And my God don't get me started on Shakarian fanbase, the most annoying fanbase there is. Constantly overrating the Turian Robin and swooning over him. It's so ridiculous I even have to grit my teeth to no say things lol.
You are talking about referring to BG when one of the characters says "Go for the eyes, Boo! Go for the eyes!" 8:50. But you probably didn't notice Shepard was saying that to his hamster too at 5:11.
Baldurs Gate is probably known in all Citadel Space. There is a game shop in Citadel and seller buying games from people to have the best collection :)
if you decide to keep the reanimated husk head in your room and you also have the space hamster when you activate the hamster the head will react and scare the hamster. I thought that was a fun little interaction between two items
I actually got the first one you mentioned. I started mass effect on the third game and never bothered talking to him as i had no connection to a random alien.
I did one playthrough as an absolute cutthroat, skipping almost all crew dialogue and side missions. When it came time to track Kai Leng to Sanctuary, instead of Traynor telling Shepard how she did it, EDI gave the details, BUT the cutscene also clearly showed that Traynor was still the one that actually put the trail together. I'm not sure if it was not talking to Traynor, or not going on ANY of the missions she suggested (all N-7s plus Grissom Academy), or both that triggered this scenario, but seeing the the cutscene play out that way was priceless...even if it was too painful to try another 2 playthroughs to test the actual trigger.
I did not know about the scene with Tali shooting Legion on Haestrom, well since I'm on my 8th playthrough of the trilogy might as well try it out! And also this might come as a shock...but I've never played Baldur's Gate.
If you can get past the dated graphics, you should do yourself a favour and play them. I’ve got hundreds of hours in Mass Effect but must be well over 1000 in Baldur’s Gate ❤️
@@mortdeath1674 Gotdamn that's some time invested there! I can easily get past the graphics, I mean I still have a physical copy of Army Men for PC, Myst, MDK, and Command and Conquer.
I got this dialogue with Garrus in my latest playthrough. I thought he would only tell me to leave him alone so he could do his calibrations. So I wanted to wait until he has some dialogue...
Holy shit... just encountered the firsf one like a day or 2, on my recent playthrough of mass effect 3. I didn't really wait that long to talk to him either, only a few hours since getting him on Palaven, so its easier to encounter than this video might suggest.
Yeah I did the pull up thing, and man, I lost count of how many times I asked myself why the heck I was doing this and was so tempted to stop but nope, I kept clicking away.
in my first and only playthrough of ME3, despite taking Garrus on almost EVERY SINGLE MISSION, I got that dialogue because that part of the ship never registered in my mind lmao, so I got that cutscene 😅
I got different dialogue from James when I beat his record. Don't know if it's because I was Femshep or Paragon, but when I finished my Shepard made a comment about likely needing help pulling their armor on later. Sad there wasn't an achievement for breaking his record, though.
1. You're right, I had no idea there was unique dialogue for ignoring people, I've always been far too devoted to seeking out new dialogue from the squad at every opportunity. 2. I am crazy and have time to waste, I've done the full pull-up bit more than once. I just feel like I _have_ to show James I can match him. 3. I knew about getting the hamster back in engineering but I never realised Shepard had more than one line of dialogue if you keep interacting with it in Citadel, thanks for that. 4. I think I've brought Legion to Haestrom once, although I think it was _because_ I was told beforehand there were unique scenes. 5. Yeah, I'd definitely noticed the parallels there. 6. I'm not familiar with Baldur's Gate but I'd heard that Tali's drone was a reference before. 7. Same as you, I didn't think anything of the weapon choice for the scene myself until it was pointed out to me.
