Mass Effect Romance MV - "Arms" feat. Garrus, Jack, Jaal and Peebee

Rated MATURE for partial nudity, sexual situations and xenophilia. Lyrics in CC.
A tribute to four of the relationships from the OT and Andromeda set to Arms by Christina Perri. Each relationship had its own distinct character, which I hope came through in the editing.
Jack is an interesting mix of dangerous and vulnerable, and her romance arc is redemptive. It's amazing to see how she develops from being a sullen, homicidal loner into the fiercely protective woman of ME3. I just wish Sheploo's facial animations and dialogue choices were a little less creepy during their conversations in ME2. The tattoo scene in the Citadel DLC was heartbreaking and definitely made Sheploo pick Destroy because Jack shouldn't have to go through that again.
Garrus is the best friend turned boyfriend. He supports Shepard 100%, even going so far as to learn the Tango so she doesn't have to embarrass herself on the dance floor any more. Both know they're unlikely to make it through the war, but they're going to do their duty stylishly and enjoy their time while they can. Of the Mass Effect romances I've experienced so far, this is still my favorite.
Peebee is the fun-loving commitment-phobe who constantly aggravates, surprises and delights. My meathead Scott didn't know what hit him, possibly from having his head banged on the floor repeatedly. Also on the ceiling of the escape pod. It's fitting Peebee is the one who ends up the most surprised by their relationship. I hope seeing her lavish cutscenes encourages more people to try her romance. I enjoyed it a lot. Embracing Eternity still freaks me out, though.
Jaal is an adorable squid-cat creampuff. A little crusty on the outside at first, but then just so sweet and tender on the inside. Who knew that his "cultural exchange" with Liam extended to tips on dating human females? Sara is not sure whether to thank Liam or just never look him in the eye again. My dorky introvert Sara found Jaal almost too demonstrative and I wonder if Scott might be a better match. Watching Scott tell Jaal about ice cream is great.
Jack was able to get me to play as MShep for the first time. I rushed playthroughs of ME2 and ME3 to gather clips, which unfortunately resulted in a very sparse party in the Citadel DLC. I should go back and play properly now that I'm used to Mark Meer's voice.

Oh, I love this! Still haven't played the OT yet because of my computer issues (and will probably be a while before I'm able to) but I already adore femShep/Garrus and maleShep/Jack in addition to Sara/Jaal and Scott/Peebee, so this was just lovely! I also love the song and it fits them all so nicely! 😍 There's also something so perfect to me at seeing the OT and Andromeda together like this, just as they should be, IMO. I really enjoyed this a lot and I'll definitely be back to watch it again! Great work! 💖

Thank you again! Jack doesn't have as much content as Ashley or Liara -- or Tali, but I enjoyed her romance. Probably the romance most comparable to Garrus for Femshep would be Tali with Broshep, something I have yet to experience first hand.

That was well put together. We'll done 😊👍 🇮🇪
