One thing I find interesting in Mass Effect that i wish Andromeda made clear alot more of is that due to the Reaper trap of the relay network they essentially stopped development of more effective energy weapons against synthetic life. In Andromeda due to the lack of relays weapons tech had to be lighter to be viable for transport so the races there focuses on plasma weapons more than ballistic. Just one change in travel and logistics shifted entire species thinking.

The Zaherux conspiracy theory at the end, with the nano technology which turns hostile seems to be inspired by Stanisłav Lem's The Invincible. A Mars like planet on which sudden nano-bot storms can appear and whipe out organic life.

Oh shut the front door, dude. Miranda is the weakest human biotic in the trilogy. She is worse than Jacob, yet put her above Kaidan? Stop, OK? Miranda is the only biotic who fails shields through Seeker Swarms. She is also very squishy & her damage output is worse than Jacob’s. Let alone everyone else with biotics. Kaidan learnt how to reave which very few humans can do, he can reach Asari levels of biotic power & kicks ass in ME1 & 3 trivializing majority of combat encounters. Pair him up with Garrus who overloads shields to allow Kaiden’s biotic powers (and yours if you’re biotic) to work covering you with a sniper rifle and your enemies are cooked. Kaidan also is decently tanky with good gear in ME1, and bloody unkillable in ME3 bc he activates barrier skill constantly. Also, putting Kaidan in the same rank as Ashley?! Ashley is a mediocre space racist & doesn’t provide as much versatility to combat. She is just guns & I’m sure there characters with biotics or tech skills that will outgun her. Miranda belongs in C-tier below Jacob; Kaidan is a least A-tier, for how good he is in ME3. Garrus is easily S+ bc his aim & damage output are insane. He almost never misses and I had a few encounters where he saved my butt by taking out enemies I didn’t see. The only downside to Garrus is that you have to keep him behind via command bc he like to run into a fight while being a little squishy & can’t handle multiple enemies due to lack of CC. Also hard disagree on Aria’s placement. B maybe. She has only one good ability & frankly being forced to travel with her aggravates me. I only do the DLC for war asset boost, otherwise I’d ignore it altogether.

Your saying that a boy being found as the lone survivor of his planet by a ship called the Kent is a reference to mega mind and not Superman who was was the sole survivor of his planet and take in by the Kent family 😑. Are you high?

Maybe its just me but that background theme is too intrusive

Megamind????? Wouldn't it rather be a reference to Superman? IE Kent Krypton etc...

is there a part 2?

I really wish you make more of these. I love any deep mass effect lore

yeah mass effect fans having zero respect for burials and not understanding why the council wants to respect other cultures' burials tracks

I work in Hazamat Demolition. Great comparison.

I wonder how many times a civilization has appeared on the same planet

Great finish

Wish i could like this twice

This actually happened

😂😂😂🎉😂😂

These videos are very well done good sir

The Leviathan’s plan to create the Reapers, whether it’s hubris or just narcissistic blindness, is just hilariously ironic when you boil it down. “All species eventually create technology that inevitably tries to destroy them. Anyway, we’re gonna make a technology to fix that, what could go wrong?”

hes not dead!! every companion has to shoot him

Remember how ME2 kept dropping Dark Energy left and right? And the amount of planets all over the galaxy being described as extra-solar captures? It could be that before Bioware cut the dark energy plotline, that the inhabitants of those planets were using Mass Effect fields and biotics so much that their stars went supernova prematurely and blew up their planets out of orbit.

Love this. Reminds me of early shoddycast and fudgemuppet lore videos. Please make more. 👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🤘

Really great work - lore content was fantastic. The bsckground music makes this an uncomfortable listen though. ME1 theme music or much quieter background music in future would really improve things.

This man’s got the best lore videos I’ve ever seen.

I always thought reapers looked like bedbugs.

Head-cannon. The dinosaurs where not killed by an asteroid, but by the Reapers. "Save yourselves, mammals. We will fend off the Reapers!".- Tyranosaurs Wrex, probably.

Reaper? I hardly knew her

For me the "galaxy building" aspect of ME is what truly stands out as EXCEPTIONAL. That said, I wish the series had expanded more on Liara's ME1 comment about prior civilizations.

So the reapers have done 20,000 cycles for a Billion years sounds crazy to me

28:03 "meow"

They say that the moon of Klendagon is the location for the dragon age games

Put me in a cycle full of Quarian chicks 🗣🗣 💯

@3:55 Xeno's/Zeno's paradox, in case you don't want to source Star Trek novels going forward lol.

I agree with comparing the Protheans with the Romans but I also like comparing them to the British Empire. Javick head resemble a tricorn hat, widely used by the british old age and the both were happy for the color red. Take the Romans and the British and fuse them into one = protheans

Can you please help me about the title of the track by Flavio Concini that you have used on the background of "The Leviathan" chapter? Since when I first watched this video a couple of months ago it got stuck in my mind, I checked his discography through his links but cannot find that specific piece, and it's not easy finding a track when you do not know the title. He has a lot of works published during the last decade. I really liked it and I would appreciate listening to it on my headphones, especially when I am walking.

Jacob is thee worst not relatable character with no redeeming qualities past the opening of the game. All the advice he gives gets people killed he cheats on you if you romance him also he refuses to opennup at all romance or not. Aswell he blames you for h8m cheating on you lol.

I do love your deep lore videos of Mass Effect, keep it up and once your finished with Mass Effect till new info comes maybe look at Dragon Age too! Subbed!

Personally i think everything in the games are canon even the citadel dlc where you take shore leave. Only reason why is the personal time with the companions only serves to enhance the impact those companions have even the shepard clone seems logical considering thats cerberus's MO with genetic modifications being their strongsuit.

In my opinion when a new race discovers the remnants of a ancient civilization it’s destroyed in the reaper harvest of their time only a small fraction of artifacts and information survives but becomes damaged or mistaken for another civilization in a different cycle, like how the statues of the Inusannon on Ilos could be mistaken for the Protheans or another race, also how many relics were destroyed in wars across the galaxy or natural means such as earth quakes or supernovas

i liked the video but if i can give feedback. the background music was too loud and really annoying.

Why is this ringing bro

Not just a good job. Great job. 👍🏾

What would have been an awesome ending to Mass Effect 3, was if they found out the Crucible was a Leviathan creation, and there was a Leviathan that had been waiting beneath the bottom of the ocean on Earth, and had been manipulating humans into building a device to eradicate the Reapers. Imagine the twist if you found out all of your actions in the entire Mass Effect trilogy was a single Leviathan using humanity as a method to regain control of the Reapers by manipulating lesser species into building the Crucible to "re-set" the Reaper programming. The end boss of the game would be a Big Stupid Jellyfish.

I see you made the mistake of making an obvious joke to a fan base as autistic as mass effect’s. My condolences

Hey man what a great video love the Reapers lore there so scary but really interesting too learn about. By far the best SCI-FI villains we’ve had in games. Mass Effect was one of my favourite childhood games. Now I’m a adult and just started the legendary edition for the first time LETS GO 😃👌🔥.

The Protheans were built different

Ngl, I always thought and still do think the whole reaper motivations make no sense. Like bioware didn't really know why and had to come up with something.

If I remember with me2 or 3 lore a single reaper is created apon a civilization collapse so if that is accurate the amount of reapers is the amount of civilizations wasted by them

If my boy Jenkins isn't S-tier I'm gonna be very unhappy.
