I just realised that I still missed one conversation between Garrus and Liara about Garrus' departure from C-Sec. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-N2a5aVDRWEU.html But anything else should be covered with this video.
Garrus is a workaholic he hardly ever socialized before he joined the Normandy crew so his conversations are always so awkward. He doesn’t know where to start and what topics to avoid.
they went from "lmao im glad im on their side, they havent hesitated killing anyone who gets in their way, are the first person of their species to get the honor of being a spectre, and was already in n7 before any of this" to "dont worry guys im a spectre too im sure this will be an even fight"
I love these little talks; how awkward and polite some of them are -- and some aren't. How naive some of them are, their point of view dominated by their own cultural bias. It's also really amusing that Wrex, as the supposed bloodthirsty lunatic, is definitely the wisest of the lot. Comes with his age, of course, but it still works great.
"The genophage is a lot easier to swallow when all krogan are savage monsters, isn't it?" Wrex was definitely one of the most interesting characters in the franchise. I'm still a bit mad at BioWare for basically dropping him after the first game.
I actually liked the elevator talks. Also the writers were really smart in the way the handled them by having every character ask a similar question and almost always using the same answer. But it does make the dialogues less interesting after a while.
It's kind of a shame that with fast traveling being available now you don't get to see most of those anymore because you hardly ever take the elevators. ME3 references some of them in the Citadel DLC. Turns out Garrus was the only one who liked those conversations.
Just don’t take the elevators for the true classic experience. I find it a lot more immersive cause of how much of a maze the citadel is. After a bit you know how to get anywhere just from the name.
Savoring every moment of this video...Ashley is so cool and down to earth, Kaidan's calm demeanor, Wrex and his sharp mind and dry humor, Liara totally in character as young scientist, Garrus being blunt, polite and a tech geek, Tali's innocence and sharp tongue....And the entire time Commander Sheperd stares blankly at the elevator button with ears up to eavesdrop. 😂
Presented in the order that they are, you can see Garrus go from neutral to mildly contemptuous towards Tali, then realize he's been a dick at the end.
Shout out to this guy, i dont think id be able to sink 9 hours just to get some short clips, that takes some serious dedication, and a quad the size of a shotgun 😎
These mass effect clips video are insane, they play through the whole game a little differently so a few thousand people on youtube could satisfies their curiosity
Wrex never misses a chance to put Garrus in his place. Wrex is terse with Ashley and Kaidan, a bit more polite with Tali and Liara and downright _brutal_ with Garrus. Guess that's his anger about the Genophage bleeding through.
Most of the conversation here are either so formal and polite or have an animosity between them, really shows how little they know each other at the beginning
Thanks so much for putting g the time and effort into this ya did. I truly love this community Garrus is like a fresh faced young man. He sounds foolish how he speaks here but he does apologize for it in later. He’s my favorite for a reason Wrex is a wise old grump man who we all love ^^
I loved the elevator banter. Wish the banter in all mass effects just happened passively when ur in friendly areas. It also always made me mad how the news would sometimes take the place of elevator banter, especially when the news articles repeat the same story.
@@commandershepard5854 Thing is I've been using them a lot, and I just get repeated news all the time, I'm pretty sure they happened more often on the old games. 🤔
@@Agherosh Hmm might be a bug :( But I can confirm that I had this feeling too. While recording for this video I sometimes had 20-30 news in a row without a single conversation. But maybe that's just bad luck.
Yeah wish there was a mod that made is so either 1. News and dialogue get checks so they don't repeat 2. Remove all news so you only get character dialogue. The first one would be nice for a regular playthrough while the second would help in a showcase video like this.
Great work. Replaying the legendary edition, I got very, very few of these interactions. It was nice having it put together so well to relive those sweet moments. Well done.
It was a bit more common to hear news than the squadmates talk in the LE compared to the original game. I love the growth these characters go from ME1 to ME3 specially Williams since up to this point she hasn't served with aliens yet was willing to go under Captain Kirrahe command in his diversionary assault on Virmire knowing full well it was a suicide run and in 3 she even has a sister who is an Admiral on the Quarians Migrant Fleet. Garrus is that naive Cop who wanted to go beyond rules he considered that were stopping him to a Veteran with the maturity that made him realize that some of those rules were that kept people like him from being a Saren. Liara is the reclusive nerd who grows to be one of the members with the biggest body count by ME3 (both directly and indirectly) and whose friends lead her to mature faster than what the majority of her people did. Wrex barely changed and with both Bakara and Grunt grew to realize that while the Genophage is a brutal weapon it was something the Krogan got thanks to idiots like his father. Tali growth was the most noticeable, a shy kid whose only interactions with the galaxy were the stories of her people and the news yet in the first game was always eager to keep to, you know what? Tali was the one who most grew as a character and stayed the same from ME1-ME3 after the many individuals that crossed path. From Shepard support to meeting and crying for a Geth after the only way to make peace between the Geth (Quarian word for servant) and Quarians was to sacrifice himself. Kaidan well, since he has yet to survive in my playthroughts he is an unknown. Edit: I forgot to say how Williams views on the Cerberus personnel go from: a group that: killed Rear Admiral Koahuto for asking to much questions, manipulated Shepard (Miranda did said a mind control chip was placed in his mind until TIM talked out of it and TIM lied to Shepard face that Liara was working for the Shadow Broker as his sources said), bread monsters like Jack who turned on them (good that she grew from her pain), almost blew up the a few Quarian ships, and more. If you manage to bring Ashley (LI non cheated) and Vega to rescuing the Cerberus deserters they'll express shock and disgust at seeing an ex Alliance Marine working for Cerberus and helping that group until they hear the words: "We have our families here with us." They both are hesitant to trust them (there was a poison vial tailored for Turians with the ex Cerberus personnel and I would bet that there was more of that) up until they all escape the place which might have left them both starting to see how much grey the galaxy really is beyond the convictions which they grew up with the Alliance.
I completely agree with everything you just said. And concerning Kaidan: You haven't really missed that much - this guy stays pretty bland until the end imo :D
@@commandershepard5854 ok oh, I forgot to say how Williams views on the Cerberus personnel go from: a group that: killed Rear Admiral Koahuto for asking to much questions, manipulated Shepard (Miranda did said a mind control chip was placed in his mind until TIM talked out of it and TIM lied to Shepard face that Liara was working for the Shadow Broker as his sources said), bread monsters like Jack who turned on them (good that she grew from her pain) and more.

Thank you! I keep getting 2 favorites every playthrough, so I don't hear all the variations of dialogue. Liara and Rex explosion dialogue made me chuckle. I never knew how much friction there were between Garrus and Tali either >.
and the whole time shepard just zones out. i like this video because it seems like shepard just likes to listen to the conversations so he keeps pressing random buttons to keep the elevator ride going.
The juxtaposition between people telling Tali that the fight against Saren would be a benefit for how people see Quarians versus "YoUr PeOpLe MaDe GeTh" will never fail to catch me off-guard
29:45 is quite something as well. To quote Patrick Bateman, "Cool it with the anti-Semitic remarks". I don't think the parallel to real-life prejudices is accidental.
Thank you I’ve been looking for an elevator talks completion since the first game premiered! These well written character interaction and development are why I never skipped an elevator ride in ME1
22:08 I love this series because in the first game, this quote is impossible to disagree with, but as you keep playing, meeting Legion, learning the Quarians started the war entirely even after the Geth wanted peace. It becomes a more murky quote that is harder to blindly agree with.
They're both sweethearts. ME1's squadmates have an internal morality value; there's a bunch of scenes where they'll argue about what choice you should make. From most Paragon to most Renegade, the order is Liara-Kaidan-Tali-Garrus-Ashley-Wrex. If you take Liara and Kaidan to the final mission, Liara will tell you to save the Council and Kaidan will tell you to focus on Sovereign. If you take Kaidan and Garrus to the final mission, Kaidan will be the one telling you to save them. If you really want to fuck things up, pick all the xenophobic options when you talk to Kaidan aboard the Normandy and he'll become so based that he'll tell you to kill the Council and _Wrex of all people_ will be forced to tell you to save them.
Turians never had to test their morals in a real struggle, eh, Wrex? How about that time when Krogan almost got Palaven by destroying turian planets with asteroids, and they still stood and fought? I swear I hate it so much when people in-lore and irl make krogan seem like good guys who didn't deserve the Genophage. Dudes were inflicting genocide on multiple species and were destroying countless planets, and yet even wise and smart Wrex has the audacity to talk like that.
@@ladyselin35 Same, mate. And even with the Genophage they could've been fine if they didn't murder each other all the time. Wrex is the only reason I cure the Genophage in ME3. I wish there was an option to like not fully cure it, but lessen the effects
Whatever Salarian made the original genophage clearly didn't consider that they could have just altered the Krogan DNA to make them only have one or two eggs at a time and possibly increase the gestation period of said eggs Edit: No scratch that, they clearly knew what they were doing. The stillborns were a psychological aspect to keep the krogan down. If we have learned anything it is that council kicks their enemies while they're still on the ground instead of helping them back up to be better than before. The council is anything if not obsessed with their standing and control
I love these damn convos, i wish the later games had them too. Ashley's hand on hip modeling pose looks so awkward and out of character for her honestly.
She always wanted to be pretty, but she was too obsessed with earning respect. As soon as she got the chance she tattooed on the makeup and let her hair down.
Whoa Liara, You are touching your body in almost all area’s😳 Wrex is always asking who would win in a fight. Dude is ruthless & love uncle Wrex! Garrus is my true homie 4 life. This is why I love Mass Effect 1 more than 2, 3. But I love all of them in Legendary though in 1 is my favorite.
That's from the end of Mass Effect 2. If you have romanced Tali, you'll get this dialogue: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gh2JbcdIf98.html
love that last message, can just imagine it. Mass Effect Elevator: "A Salarian excavation team has encountered an unexpected problem whii-" You: "SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP"
I think the voice actor is so much better voicing Kaidan than Carth tbh. If you watch clips of Carth and Kaidan back to back you'll see how much he improved.
