Over 2 Hours of Mass Effect Alien Race Lore and Secrets

[@happylittletree1727]

If you’re not racist towards Batarians, are you really a Mass Effect fan?

[@Balkoth07]

Even Reapers are racist towards Batarians. Just saying.

[@callightman7703]

Goddamn terrorists.

[@keithworthing7038]

In Bring Down the Sky DLC I let the Human hostages die just so I can have another excuse to kill more Batarians.

[@JoshSweetvale]

Batarian evolutionary biology is _entirely_ sociopathic. They're space orcs. Or space racism. They cannot conceptualize nom-batarians as people and can very easily conceptualize _other_ batarians as not people.

[@RiveryJerald]

@@Balkoth07 reapers are racist to all species

[@parisdemille2827]

I forgot how damn good Mass Effect still looks. For its time, it was WAY ahead of its time.

[@joshrodgers9366]

Everytime I think about mass effect I will forever and always feel bad for causing tali to jump off a cliff during my first playthrough lmao

[@OrkDiktator]

I did some rouge decisions always but I always try to save all... all species and all crew members. But I also prioritize entire populations over individuals... was hard ti figure out how to save Geth and Tali

[@DefaultProphet]

Look Thane was literally introduced as infiltrating an area via a vent. How was I supposed to know he couldn’t open the vent door in the collector base????

The fact we can't romance Krogans is a blemish on an otherwise great Trilogy.

[@ConstellationsGaming]

We never got to see the quads on display.. tragedy.

[@bunnylovingbastard]

It should lead to an immediate game over like if you sleep with Morinth but definitely should've been an option 😊

[@Fallout-mw3wk]

Go quads deep eh

[@reshiejung]

Just found out this game this month. I already finished Andromeda. I can't wait to start the trilogy after my schoolwork. This game is so good.

[@ian9614]

oh man what i would give to experience the trilogy for the first time again. my advice is to take your time and don't sleep on the side stuff

[@paigechavez4355]

I’m playing the trilogy a second time and there’s so much I missed the first time 😭

[@QaannDrakmord]

Mass effect lore, literally the only reason I subscribed

[@ConstellationsGaming]

Haha thank you! We will be working on more.

[@GodammmitKalcour]

This video actually makes me want to try Andromeda. The races are interesting.

[@ConstellationsGaming]

Agreed

[@DisgruntledNorwegian]

My favorite conspiracy about Mass effect Will always be that the asari aren't actually hot blue space women but Eldritch monstrosities. It is just an effect of their psionic power that manipulates everyone into finding them attractive from their own species standards. I don't remember if it was from one or two but there's a conversation where a silarion and a turian are debating whether they're not they look like each other's species.

[@ConstellationsGaming]

Haha I see you didn’t get to that part in the video! I actually have the conversation play at the end of the Asari segment. I think it really is one of the coolest theories about them. I appreciate you watching and commenting, means a lot.

[@DisgruntledNorwegian]

@@ConstellationsGaming My bad XD listened to a bit and added it to the work playlist for tomorrow.

[@saschaberger3212]

Every time this one.... Just because 3 dudes in a bar said that. Why do their statues and murals look like we know them then‽ Also you see enough of them dying over the games, yet they won't change their appearance after death. I don't think the devs thought that threw sadly.

[@DisgruntledNorwegian]

@saschaberger3212 Eldritch monstrosity mate. It's not an individual choice but a galactic scale psyonic field twisting perceived reality, think Shub-Niggoroth twisting minds to spread its brood. Let's not pretend they aren't capable of deception on that scale, after all, which homeworld had an archive with unequivocal proof of the reapers and just didn't tell anyone that Shepard was completely right about the threat. And then, only acknowledged it existed when the invasion was on their doorstep. It's a conspiracy theory... Crazy idea, post your favorite theory. I wanted to spark some conversation, if you don't like it, post something else that's fun to play with and think about.

[@Chogglepants]

I think that the scene is just an Easter egg of some sort and shouldn't be taken as canon. I'm sure if it were true, it would be noticed by everyone, not just a few dudes at a bar.

[@Marquez2077]

Wasn't it said by javik that his people had once used the rachni as weapons and then tried to destroy them for being too cunning?

[@JoshSweetvale]

Yup.

[@TheMichaellathrop]

So in the angaran section you said that no organic life in the milky-way had been engineered by another race, but the keepers were made by the reapers and the collectors had been so changed from the prothians that you could argue that they were in fact another created race.

[@ConstellationsGaming]

I kind of mentioned this in the video. The difference is, is that both the collectors and the keepers are now more like machines than anything else. They don’t have culture or advanced thought processes. Also, they were races that already existed and then were modified. The Angarans were fully made.

[@6bussychan924]

The codex batarian looks like Sid the sloth if he were an alien

[@ConstellationsGaming]

😂 true

[@aol008]

Who would we substitute the batarian companion? Hummm Jacob obviously

[@ConstellationsGaming]

😂 it’s so funny and fitting to me that I completely forgot Jacob.

[@bluejaygaming3703]

19:44 I heard someone say this before and I think it makes more sense than “mind-manipulating virus species” But it could be that other races are just being drawn towards the parts of an Asari that’s similar to theirs

[@vakant-_-]

They should let us play as other races in the next mass effect

[@lesbianslipknotfan]

i severely wanna play as a 3,000 year old krogan badass warlord who thinks with their nuts only

[@mrGuyps3]

that asari part about them making them selves look most like the race they are being looked at by blew my socks off i’m sockless

[@ConstellationsGaming]

Same, when I first learned that. It makes so much sense though!

[@mrGuyps3]

@ it really does man bioware was cooking back then

[@Mx.Dmg1999]

Yahgs were intimidating, hope we do we more on them

[@josephjoestar8063]

Gonna sleep to this tonight

[@ConstellationsGaming]

Perfect vid for that

[@krisnewbern7445]

The Krogan, despite not making significant technological advances on their own, setting their planet into a millenia long nuclear winter, being conscripted to fight a ravenous war eith the Rachni, AND infected with a plague that makes only 1/1000 pregnancies viable, and yet they're still in the top 5 most prevalent species in the games. Makes you wonder how it would play out if they found Prothean tech from the beginning

[@thorfauci9540]

Already loved the fallout content, but mass effect as well!? Nice

[@ConstellationsGaming]

Love just making content on my favorite franchises. Thanks for watching.

[@Rob-bj5fk]

[@a.f.1587]

I can't wait for the next ME, but i'm very very afraid how Bioware will mess it up. This Bioware is not the old Bioware anymore. I loved the Dragon Age series, and look what it became...

[@rowdytaylor3666]

Ill probably get hate for this but i really enjoyed Andromeda 😅

[@ConstellationsGaming]

The story, setting, and gameplay is really great in Andromeda. Is just got heat for the graphics, but I think it’s still a fun game as well.

[@rowdytaylor3666]

@@ConstellationsGaming i absolutely agree on all your points, i absolutely loved the vaults and exploration. the graphic bs does not make sense to me, i feel the og trilogy had way worse rough edges but thats me, i aint dogging any of the series all were great in their own right. there is no game in existence that is perfect. i think its the try hards crying that og shepard wasnt included or some bs, bunch of cry babies in the fan base. i feel ME1 is borderline unplayable compared the 2,3 and andromeda

[@rowdytaylor3666]

@@ConstellationsGaming great video though absolutely wonderful lore

[@zlostnypopolnik]

@@ConstellationsGaming No, not for the graphics. For the story, the dialogues and finally for the animations. The graphics were good. That's when the bastardization of Bioware and their creations began. It escalated to the "success" of the new Dragon Age.

[@ThelastofNazarick]

​@zlostnypopolnik agreed. The lack of weight to any of your choices made it feel like nothing mattered. I should never be able to say that about an rpg. I also didn't like how it destroyed replayability in gameplay. It only takes two saves to experience all the powers. It only takes two playthroughs to notice all your choices make not a lick of difference. One character being replaced by someone who essentially does the same thing no matter what is not really a choice.

[@Badclamz83GaMinG]

1:25:39 Saved them every time

[@SirTayluh]

It just kind of occurred to me, I don't necessarily believe it, but there has been speculation that the "N7 agent" from the reveal trailer is an AI. I can go on a very long explanation of the endings to explain how AI survive the destroy ending (summed up as they are damaged not destroyed, they just have to be repaired/reactivated) so this isn't a huge point, but if the N7 agent is an AI, and there aren't signs of synthesis in the other trailers, but the geth do appear, and alot of people loudly want Shepard. I could see the only way to do it, and what they're doing could be leading to this, is that the N7 agent IS an AI of Shepard from the control ending, simply plugged into a mech the same way EDI injects herself into the Core mech in ME3. Living geth, no synthesis, no having to work with time travel or weird tomfuckery to keep shepard alive, kind of continues the idea Andromeda put forward of AI and biological fusion in the protagonist. The first reveal trailer of LIara climbing a dead reaper and recovering N7 gear could mean her retrieving the Shepard AI from the reaper somehow and the next one with the agent being a revived Shep in AI form, which would again have Liara bringing you back to life.

[@stevewaite381]

I wonder if we will see anything about the Thorian in 5

[@thanevakarian9762]

The Asari as shape shifters is so bad. That would mean they can manipulate how people perceive them through video or photography or non attracted individuals.

[@chuckchavez7715]

This kinda makes me play the remaster, been sour on the weak writing of AAA games this year, wanna savor the old stuff

[@kungfudavie]

Although I generally despise remasters as a massive cash grab, this was worth it to me. It was on steam for less than $10

[@patdud]

One thing that I felt could have done better is the visual and physical diversity is lacking amongst other species outside of humans. Reduce the number of species, but expand the diversity to a level the Humans have.

[@kyleyork5546]

What if the diversity of species is something specific to humans in the mass effect universe? If it's such a big deal for you, go make your own sci-fi universe that features alien races with massive amounts of diversity.

[@loboseesthings6269]

...fine... ill play andromeda after i finish a full Playthrough of the the trilogy

[@avesatanae]

The whole "asari mindcontrol to seem more attractive" thing makes no sense in a world with photographs, videos and statues. Like... are the statues mindcontrolling people too?

[@thedragonerebus2974]

Makes me sad all this lore that won't be used in ME4

[@ConstellationsGaming]

Why wouldn’t it be? Their history isn’t erased?

[@nightpop6309]

You could have swapped a batatian companion with Jacob any time...and never even have to deal with "black hate" comment... that guy was AWEFULL.... Worst than Andromeda's "tired faces"

[@littlemouse7066]

saying that Asari reproduction is not only sexual is incorrect it can be totally without sex because the melding is a mental thing and in it if the Asari wants to get pregnant she takes a bit of DNA from the other person and that's it. so they can choose the parent of their children based on other criteria than sexual appeal or sexual attraction and they can have children without sex.

Their military basically encompass every aspect of life. It's a common joke that while almost every species has a military, the Turian military has a species. Jokes aside, it helps that they have the Volus as a client race - who basically had the opposite problem.

[@DefaultProphet]

@ That’s a good point about the Volus. I imagine they didn’t have all serving 15 years in the military before then

[@OrkDiktator]

Andromeda is a highly underrated game. Despite the flaws in character and storey writing, its combat is top notch... literally the berst in the entire series. Mass Effect 1 had the best writing and introduced the universe of ME perfectly, but the combat was the worst of the franchise, ME2 was the overall best game without winning in a single category... It had so many second places trhat it ended up as the best game of the franchise. ME 3 had a great combat, the writing of the plot was mediocre like Andromeda, the character writing was better than Andromeda but worse than ME1 and ME2. Batarian Lives Matter

[@BeKindToBirds]

Even the first mass effect had hair trigger sexuality. The shift from professional to romantic is jarring in all these romance based games. Absolutely mundane conversation topics lead to extreme innuendo and tone shifts. It was a problem from game 1
