*Shepard:* Loch ness monster. *Edi:* Plesiasaur. *Shepard:* Loch ness monster sounds more interesting. *Edi:* Interesting and non-existing.

[@olgajaworska7430]

Yeah, considering all the crazy shit that happens in the ME universe, Loch Ness monster is where we draw the line 😂

[@PwnedFromDistance]

I escpecially love how, instead of having a screenshot of the scene where the music plays, you have an actual live loop of the scene where the music plays in the game. A very nice touch.

[@ndbd9drn]

How are RPGs more capable of creating creepiness than a lot of horror games? The Mahavid segments from the Leviathan DLC and the swamp witches from The Witcher 3 are so much more effective at freaking players out.

[@skyejensen954]

I think where a lot of horror games (and other media) go wrong is they rely on jumpscares, body horror, slasher tropes...that sort of thing. Truly good horror leans heavily on the fear of the unknown, of things beyond logic and comprehension, and Mass Effect (and especially this DLC) does that amazingly well. It's brilliantly-executed cosmic horror; everything to do with the Reapers is. Or: cheap stereotpyical horror tries to scare you with an abyss. Good horror knows that it's not the abyss itself that's worth fearing; it's the things staring back out of it; things that are so far beyond comprehension you can never face them and remain unchanged or untouched

[@chadjensen2027]

@@skyejensen954I’ll add my hypothesis on the subject as well - I think it also has to do with the fact that you expect to be terrified when you launch a horror game which isn’t really the case for RPGs, thus when you stumble into a creepy segment of the storyline it has a larger effect on your reception of the said segment.

[@AhmadWahelsa]

You're not wrong, you're literally speaking facts, if you play horror games, you expect to be scared, if you play non-horror games, you don't expect to be scared, when i was young i legit have a fear of going into forests in GTA SA, than playing the entirety Resident Evil 4

Love this DLC glad EDI has a huge role in this. As always: good job mate. Hackett out.

Thanks a lot for this. I clearly remember requesting for this one. Everything about this lab feels so cool. It's a nice messy contrast to Anderson's apartment.

[@Aunty_Krauser]

This lab reminded me of Mulder's office from X-Files.

[@khamza111]

Always loved the atmosphere here. Also, it has a working shower, where Shepard's clothes actually GET WET!!! ..... XD

[@steventan2754]

khamza111 wow, such attention to detail :)

[@johnpacheco5404]

Oh i forgot about that

[@LPeck1985]

Wait what? I'm currently doing this DLC and on my second visit to the lab. I want to see this shower. 😁

[@CarpathianLife]

One of the best if not the best background music in the whole Mass Effect series.

[@LPeck1985]

It first plays on Thessia within that Asari Temple. I absolutely loved it, especially when clicking on those artifacts and having Liara explain the lore behind each one. What improves on that is having Javik there too. Absolutely mind blowing if you apply it to our world. Imagine our history actually being a fabrication, a complete lie to what we were tought. I really appreciated the writing of Mass Effect 3 in regards to Thessia. You can feel the absolute uncertainty, confusion and anger in Liara.

[@FEAR3371]

@@LPeck1985 And furthermore the dialogues between them after the mission which almost i never saw Liara that angry and confused besides the Feron rescue on TLOSB on ME 2.

[@LPeck1985]

@@FEAR3371 Yeah, the attention to detail is fantastic. If you took your time with Mass Effect you'd find loads of fantastic dialogue. I'm finding new bits, (to me at least) right now on the Legendary Edition. It's easily my favourite game of all time. It took the Legendary Edition to remind me of that.

[@FEAR3371]

@@LPeck1985 I replay the trilogy each year. This year i waited for the Legendary edition, because Mass effect 1 combat , mechanics and gameplay havent aged good. I read the entire codex and on ME 3 pretty much if you bring Javik to pretty much every priority mission you can discover a lot of new things from his past, lost species included. I wish someday someone could do the impossible to do a mod for bringing your entire squad on missions. I dont mind if only two can talk, but we got attached that much with the squad that we cant select only two haha.

[@LPeck1985]

@@FEAR3371 I completely agree with you. I'd like to have the full squad with me, so that i can hear everybody's unique dialogue. Also, with romance options, back when Mass Effect first came about, I always chose Ashley. In the Legendary Edition, I've chosen Liara. Man, how I missed out back then! But now i will get to enjoy different dialogue with Liara. To me, she's canon for the Male Shepherd romance.

[@tamiloxd7168]

What i like the most about this DLC is the fact that if we had Bryson's help since the begining the galaxy would hear Shepard.

[@azfaratiq2426]

Even if they did, would it have made the outcome any different? Aside from saving a lot of lives by finishing the Catalyst earlier?

[@LPeck1985]

Actually, if the Asari government would not of kept secret that Prothean device that you discover with Liara and Javik on Thessia, then we'd of been more prepared against the Reapers. I love the Asari, but their culture hoarded that information to spearhead themselves ahead of any other species out there.

[@azfaratiq2426]

@@LPeck1985 It's scary how realistic the Mass Effect universe is in terms of internal racial issues

Hot damn I am so happy this is up. I would literally fire up a save in the lab just to listen to this song. It sounds like a b-side of Prothean Beacon.

This piece always did feel additionally eerie. With the nature of the artifacts explained by the Leviathan, the music of the lab fully evoked the feeling that you were, in real fact, being watched.

The lab of the screaming head now that’s a true mystery

[@LPeck1985]

What was that about? The head of a husk? Or something else? Maybe to study an indoctrinated brain? Man, I think to deeply on shit like this.

[@mattsnider2667]

Best DLC in 3 by far, and one of my favorite missions in the whole series. Also, the Leviathans are clearly ruthless and psychotic in their elitism, so while I'm happy they pitched in against the Reapers, the rest of the galaxy should be fearful of those organics.

[@johnpacheco5404]

My favorite sound peice from any mass effect game. Has an x files ufo hunter ancient aliens feel to it

[@thewhompingwampa2671]

Citadel remains my undisputed favourite DLC in all of Mass Effect, maybe even one of my to favourites in gaming in general. But I cannot understate just how great Leviathan is. The atmosphere, the great mystery of it all. You're searching for something that has not only killed a Reaper but has left them scared. The Reapers. _Scared._ And just when the pieces start coming together, the very thing you're chasing, metaphorically speaking, stares at you from the darkness it calls sanctuary and tells you to get fucking bent before scurrying away into it's den after sabotaging your path forward. I love the Leviathans. An ancient race of giant, psychic juggernauts who just so happen to hate the Reapers more than they than do you for practically kicking down their door and dancing your way into their living room. Shepard got lucky. Very fucking lucky.

[@stevebachochin2038]

thank you

[@Бархан-щ5х]

Thanks.

[@JojoSilverhand]

Love how the music sounds both mysterious (who are they ? I mean the leviathan) and menacing (remember what they said to shepherd, they wont fight for the sake of the galaxy but only for their own profits, maybe could they become our ennemys ?). Don't speak english, sorry for the eventual misunderstanding

I believe I've said this earlier but I'll say it again: I need to get in there and grab that Prothean beacon, give it to Liara later as a gift...

Is Liara your romance option? After all these years that I've played Mass Effect, and I've only just done a relationship run with Liara on the LE version of Mass Effect. What was I thinking before!? She's the best. Really feels canon to Shepherd aswel.

[@coolbeansjr]

Fantastic. Hats off to you sir. Agree with PwnedFromDistance about the live loop, great add! Though when I clicked I was hoping it was the song when u meet Ann in the lab and she's crying. That music is so beautifully emotional. You should seriously make an hour of that! Can anyone at least tell me the name of that song? Shazam won't recognize it..

[@GamingAmbience]

I'm sure i'll do it when we get the Legendary Edition. That track originated from Mass Effect 2's Project Overlord DLC I believe anyways, or the vocal version anyways.

[@LPeck1985]

@@GamingAmbience That was amazing. You get to hear it again during the Grissom Academy, if you saved David from Cerberus, rather than handing him back over during the Overlord DLC.
