True... But seems it wasn't about Aryan-ness but people being sexist by claiming a Barbie-looking woman can't fight and is only good for shopping with a chihuahua. The red hair she has tho isn't looking natural (too red instead of orange, and black eyebrows), can pass for a dye job with a color generic enough to stand out and without being too outlandish (but once they added purple everyone tried it in LE).

"DO NOT DARE TO TOUCH GARRUS 😡😡😡" and Shepard was soo fucking mad and even pointing him with her finger. And Grunt was like "nah, i won't"

Renegade didn't get good until 2 and 3, and really only with the interrupts. I can't stand playing a character that oscillates between cartoon villain and Space Karen™.

@Krunchbyte1 Жыл бұрын
Something I thought was neat with the backgrounds, was to flip the script a bit. My last playthrough, I had a paragon Shep, but she had a ruthless background. This kinda implied that she had more of a regrettable record than a shiny one, or perhaps made the wrong decision, did the most she could with a really bad scenario, or had a hotheaded start and learned to be different. These things aren't that big of a deal for the game overall, but being able to have that extra bit of characterization is really neat, even if it is just mostly head canon. Like with how sometimes paragon Shep can do things that seem a little over the top with the good guy act, and I thought having a regrettable past gave a bit of context on why this Shep insisted on it more often than not

I like to mix it up too. Like going Earthborn and War Hero, or Spacer and Ruthless. If I want a super tortured Shep, I'll go Colonist Sole Survivor, and pick romances that die off or end horribly, lol.
@Nofixdahdress Жыл бұрын
I did this with my favorite Shep. She has the Colonist and War Hero backgrounds, but goes really heavy on the Renegade choices in game. So internally it creates this conflict where she gets touted as this inspirational war hero, but is actually fairly ruthless and in a permanent state of fight-or-flight, and over the course of the series has to balance out her inclination towards pragmatism and selfishness with her growing responsibility and care for her crewmates. All while sticking to mostly Paragon options for the really big choices (saving the Council, appointing Anderson, destroying the Collector base) because, despite her rough around the edges personality and general pessimism about the galaxy, deep down she's always been a fundamentally decent and heroic person.

Only found your channel a month ago with your video on Sandal from Dragon Age, really loving the quality of your work. Your clips are well chosen, visually interesting to look at while not too full of detail and not so rapidly edited that they distract. I'm a big fan of both Bioware franchises and it's nice to see a lot of lore well done in one place. Even though I'm a guy I typically play FemShep as I think Jennifer Hale's performance is so strong. I always made a custom Shepard, although they didn't look that dissimilar from the Default. Although I can understand why so many fans would want Mark Vanderloo involved at conventions, you also have to give the guy his due for making his choice and divorcing himself from the role which would probably end up taking over his life. Again Great channel and keep it up.

The quoted speech on the blonde shepard is actual horrendous, align it with a different look especially one of a marginalised design and people would lose their sh##, people get so butthurt when things don't fit their own vision or ideas and vent like they are owed something better than what "majority" of people actually chose. I remember voting and choosing 5 but did like most of the designs, I think the blood red hair they finally went with suits the character but the fact that it was changed due to outrage of her having blonde hair (green eyes not blue), which resulted in belittling people with a different hair pigmentation as being lesser and dumb and associating them with a backwards "aryan race" concept is just horrible. Hypocritical fan to the max that wrote the quoted text.

The year of Commander Shepard's birth changes depending on what background you choose for him/her. The codex entry in the first game that tells the events up to the current time during Mass Effect the year it says Commander Shepard is born changes depending on the background differing from Earthborn, Colonist or Spacer. But only by 2 or 3 years. I believe Commander Shepard that is a colonist is the one that is a few years younger and the Earthborn is a few years older with spacer in the middle.

I really really love the pre service record system, just like Dragon Age Origins, it gave you a chance to feel like you knew your character before the game really got underway and then, through even those short missions related to the background, you got to choose what sortt of person Shep was underneath the N7 badge, I don't think it can be overstated how important that can be to forge a connection with a protagonist in an RPG like this. I just finished replaying the trilogy again in the Ledgendary edition and, still, even after all these years, it's a masterful set of games and a huge achievement narratively and it all really does hang on how close you feel to Shep as a character (I can even forgive the ending now, somewhat) (maybe not...) (lol). Edit: INDOCTRINATION THEORY FOREVER, the only reality I accept.

I just don't really believe the Femshep statistics. Jennifer Hale is extremely well known to have so few players who actually were exposed to her. She is arguably the most liked between the two voice actors, because her acting was outstanding (creepy Jacob talking aside). I would like to understand how they arrived at those numbers. And if they counted the Legendary Edition players later or not. Same question for the paragon and renegade options. Another enjoyable video.

I don't think the stats matter much. It's merely opinion and personal preference. I love Jennifer Hale in other games but found her voice acting just not right for me in ME. I tried it for 5 or 6 hours but personally couldn't resonate with the female voice work at all. Many other people feel completely opposite of me, and that's fine too. If you're going to be playing a game for what could be hundreds of hours over the trilogy, you want to have the main character resonate with you. In that, there really is no right or wrong choice.

I "knew" Shepard was going to die and had accepted her fate. And then... that thing... that glowboy... how many times did you shoot him? I think I shot him a good dozen times before choosing destroy. BTW, the Geth were dead... Legion had died in ME2 so I had to choose, and I chose Tali. Shepard lived because I did enough multiplayer to get 5500 Effective Military Strength. And then I remember the outrage... because the Bioware people would not confirm what the breath scene meant even though the game file said "Shep_Alive". They just stoked the outrage more on BSN. Do you remember that? And Indoctrination Theory. I loved it.

Mass Effect 5 implies we've already had a 4th continuation of Shepard's story. Andromeda doesn't count. It was its own story but this upcoming title has a good chance of being labeled ME4. Or they'll just pull a Dreadwolf on us 😅.

one of my favorite Mass Effect crossovers was their recent one with No Man's Sky to get the Normandy as a frigate, sadly you can't land on and explore it but it is a really good frigate by that game's standards

Renegade is awesome with male Shepard, the voice acting is way more aggressive.

What I want to know is how come they didn't put anymore weapons from ME1 into ME3. My favorites were the Crossfire AR, the Avalanche Shotgun and the black weapons.

Coming from one who always name my Shepard after my own name, Alexander, the fact Alex tops the top 5 list is actually pretty rad.

I base my shepard in usability, I mean, what profile can use more weapons and abilities, the other... well were too limited for me. Paragoon and renegate were more for fun more than doing what is correct, but also I have a save file with what I think is the correct answer in every situation; and also, yes all squad was lost in the suicide mission, but also I made some minimals changes and get them out.

Mark Vanderloo as the face model for Shepard is widely known? It's why we all referred to default male Shepard as "Sheploo" back in the day

Dragon age needs N7 armor. Maybe they’ll do it for dread wolf as a tease. Femshep voting was a genius big brain move.

FemShep is my favourite, i love her voice. I've been doing a fresh play through of the trilogy and streaming it on twitch. And uploading those streams to my youtube channel here.

the psychological profiles are actually tied to different quests they just aren't unique. all three quests can be done by anyone but going on the quest that your background is tied to gives you more info and unique dialogs for that quest. for example the war hero background you speak with the person that was behind the attack on elysium and they really really hate you for saving it. the sole survivor background you meet another survivor of akuze, and the ruthless background you meet someone who was affected by your actions on torfan. so each quest is deeply personal to shepard if it matches their background.

I thought the red stripe on the armor was a NASA reference, specifically during the Apollo missions where the commander of the mission had the red strip on their space suit.

Please make a video or a short with your thoughts about Mac Walters (DA4 production director) leaving Bioware after 19 years on the company, there is already too many veterans leaving Bioware, I'm somehow worried about DA 4 tbh, but at the same time after years without nothing tangible is just same news, all the good ol Bioware devs are gone or mostly gone at this point. Take care and amazing video as always.

Just going to put this thought out there.... what if they are following through with that concept of Shepard having to adapt with reaper tech as the next Mass effect game. Choosing the destroy ending on ME3 with the inhaling shepard cut screen. That is a possibility.

I'm baffled that blonde femshep got hate...for being blonde. Who is seriously judging people by their hair color like that?
@neosildrake Жыл бұрын
Just imagine that same today and white, blonde, blue eyed Shepard had been chosen. Calls and accusations of racism, white supremacy and right wing narrative would be thrown around by the likes of Kotaku, IGN and every wannabe games "journalist". Regardles if you can change skin, hair and eye color. The fact that the default models, both of them, are white and blue eyed will piss some people off and start virtue signaling on steroids.

I’ve played mass effect trilogy 20 times over the years I’ve probably got at lest three more play throughs of the trilogy left in me I’ll probably play mass effect legendary edition for my Xbox x this week and wait for the next me game to come out before playing again.
