Who is Behind This?! Citadel DLC | Mass Effect 3 | Blind First Playthrough Part 23

Sadly, this was Robin Sachs last voice role as Zaeed. He died of a heart attack on February 1st, 2013, three months after the citadel dlc released, 4 days shy of his 62 birthday.

[@MetastaticMaladies]

May he Rest In Peace. We will always remember him, as will future generations for he is immortalized through his work and will never be forgotten for the joy and entertainment he provided us to this day and on.

[@StopReadingMyNameOrElse]

Aka, Sarris from Galaxy Quest.

[@masetheimpailer]

Goddam boating school legend he was

[@coffeeveins]

Also had a recurring role on Buffy the Vampire Slayer as Ethan Raine, agent of chaos. (Looking at the details of his passing, I’m just now realizing he passed just 2 months after my Dad did. They were almost the same age too. I didn’t think of him as ancient, but I didn’t realize just how young Robin Sach was when he passed til now. Weird how so many actors from Babylon 5 passed at such a relatively young age…he was in that too. A lot of talented people missed. Family too. 😔)

[@paull8627]

​@@coffeeveinsBabylon 5, I would say, as silly as it sounds has a cursed cast. How many of them died at 60? Four. Furst and Furlan, 63 and 65. Star trek 90s shows are mostly in their 70s, to 90s, with only a few passing. Babylon 5, about half the main cast of gone, youngest being Biggs, only three years older than me

[@davida.j.berner776]

A couple of small, non-spoilery tips: 1. Check your messages every time you return to the apartment. New requests to meet up will appear each time you leave and return. 2. Make sure you play at least one bout in the Armax Arena combat simulator. There are a couple of meet-ups that won't trigger unless you do. 3. There are three meet-ups you won't get emails about. Just keep your eyes open for prompts when you're in the Casino.

[@jarsenaultj]

@@davida.j.berner776 And 2 of the 3 'hidden' meet ups are in my top 3 favourites (and Basic hasn't done the other one yet either). (Just trying to entice her more)

[@InJeffable]

1:14:49 It's this moment right here where you can see that Shepard's clone is really a tragic character. I think you have to keep in mind that she has only been awake for six months. The only reason she's able to function beyond the level of a toddler is the neural implants she received, and there's no telling how much anti-alien and anti-Shepard propaganda Brooks fed into her brain during that time. The same kind of thing could have happened to Grunt in Mass Effect 2, but Okeer's hate-filled imprints didn't take. But what if Shepard's clone had similar imprints and they DID take, causing her to hate whatever and whomever Brooks wanted her to hate? Even without any imprints, you would have an extreme level of manipulation from Brooks right from the beginning, causing Shepard's clone to believe that she deserves to take over Shepard's life. And when it all comes crashing down, Brooks -- the only person Shepard's clone has ever had a close relationship with -- abandons her. That's really sad.

[@karienlauster9809]

Agreed. That's why the Paragon choice hits so hard for me. I won't explain in case Basic ever wants to see that outcome, but it's definitely worth watching.

[@jonnybravogames]

"Noone steals my ship! Not even me!" Um shepard you stole the Normandy in the first game 😂😂😂😂

[@karienlauster9809]

My favorite part of the clone mission is definitely the team trash talk. It really shows that these guys genuinely like each other as friends, and not just coworkers. The way the banter bounces around is so natural, and they sound like they're having a blast even as they fight for their lives. Best found family!

[@basicwitgirl]

major major agree!! glad bioware let us take them all ☺

[@karienlauster9809]

@@basicwitgirl I honestly can't imagine the DLC without them.

[@EwMatias]

I love that when they called EDI a sexbot your response was "she's more than that" which is not exactly a denial.

[@basicwitgirl]

I mean....Joker definitely using that special feature

[@ripley9539]

YES! You couldn't have left this video off at a better place!! This DLC is so good, in no small part due to having so much more Kaidan content and some of his best lines. I loved getting the one-on-one time with him finally. I love all the outings with the rest of the crew, too, and the party is so much fun. I'm looking forward to it!

[@basicwitgirl]

Hahaha I couldn't edge myself like that!! Had to call bby boy up to check out the new place ;)

[@foxfire7]

this DLC is a bundle of pure joy. The plot was fun and entertaining while still making sense within the context of the game for the most part, the moments were handcrafted to perfection (legitimately, the romance scenes for everyone were such a blessing) and the whole thing is a love letter. I love the romance version of the scene you did with Kaidan.

[@MisterHPlays]

OMG I never noticed that James' dumbbells roll around on the floor during that last fight! That is such a cool little detail.

[@basicwitgirl]

It's the little things that make the game so amazing!

[@angelicameade4369]

Javik and Grunt's special outings are my favorite every time 🤌🏻🤌🏻

[@MechaDot1]

Best possible ending for date with Kaidan.

[@saecula2391]

lol Kaidan's dream .., @ 17:40 do you want to join ? we have pizza back at the apartment ... 😊

[@killyourdarlings1305]

yup 😌

[@adhdgaming-mommywah329]

Venture out onto the strip often, do combat sim at least once... then you will keep getting requests for invites to the apartment... its the best way to get the most interactions with former and current squadmates before the party. Love the playthrough!

[@AlexSmith_Rhysand]

I loved this so much! I can't think about this series coming to an end without getting a little emotional. This has been the best journey!

[@dlandon2000]

Such a fun mission. Love all the chatter/jokes

[@thelordofants1302]

javik's comments about not getting selected are numbers based the game is programmed to have your least used squad mate whine about never getting picked. its always interesting to see who people used the least.

[@craignellist7277]

When Mass Effect 3 first came out I did insanity with a soldier and didn’t have much trouble with the clone fight but when the legendary edition came out I did my first play through of it on insanity as a vanguard and that fight gave me a deep understanding of what the bad guys went through fighting me 😂

[@MrROBERTJOHNSMITH]

I love watching you experience Mass Effect the citadel DLC for the first time,e it really is well done fan service.

[@basicwitgirl]

I’m so glad you’re enjoying it!

[@paull8627]

5:22 not wanting to call and order pizza...I laughed so much when you said that (cause you know...) Yeah this dlc is all about comedy relief

[@LegateShepard]

A little beef, a little beer, a little "Canadian bacon." Broke in the new apartment, too. If that's not proper R&R, I don't know what is.

[@nicksantana93]

I just finished the series for the first time I was just as obsessed as you are. idk how I never played this game until now

[@hypnotoad9494]

So sad that the game will end soon. You nailed this playthrough

[@basicwitgirl]

I'm so sad too!! Glad you have enjoyed the ride o7

[@masetheimpailer]

We better see Basic with some "I should go" merch now 😂

[@gillesibub]

The real cult of Shepard is the friends we made along the way.

[@aimeeboersma590]

You should do a reaction video of all the other cut-scene dialogs if you take different companions! EDI is the BEST honestly!

[@paul7157]

Not sure if you'll read this but sometime down the road you might reload where you got on the Normandy chasing the clone or KZbin this. There are a couple more funny things said about your hamster, just sayin' We are really enjoying watching your play through, it's like that feeling when we played the game the first time but through you.

Basics never seen Die Hard… well Christmas is coming and it’s a Christmas movie… get on it :-)

[@Crocogator]

So I thiiiink what they're trying to say is that you're still the original shepard, rebuilt, and the clone(s?) were created for parts harvesting. It's easier to get an organ donor if you grow it yourself. Which is why I completely understand why ur-shepard is so pissed off.

[@Vuldyn]

Ok, hold up a sec. WHAT DO YOU M,EAN you've never seen Die Hard?! I think that's a christmas streaming idea right there for you! Not sure about copywrite though, but I'm sure you'll find a way!

This is my favorite DLC on the citadel. Good job fighting yourself. People hype that up to be so insane, but I managed on hardcore difficulty. It's not tooooo bad if you know what you're doing. That cloak seems to help immensely to haha. Sidenote... I had a feeling you'd go renegade against Brooks and the fake Shepard. I just knew it.
