To explain… the programmers at Bioware slipped the names of people they new into the game. NPC names, names mentioned at the bottom of messages to other people, names in the background… anywhere they needed random names, they often used people they knew. I am an acquaintance of many of the people who started the company.
OMG as soon as I saw this pop on my list I needed to see the reaction to the opening. BY FAR the best opening of a game I've ever played. Strap in for a beatiful ride, I'll try to follow your progress ❤
i would give a lot to play Mass Effect for the first time again. After about twenty complete play throughs, I am jealous of the experience you are about to have. Enjoy it.
“Is she even human” yeah because a human can stand and fire and be fine a human can take multiple shots to the head and be fine a human can have a fully metal body if you can’t byell the difference between a human and a si then somethings wrong with you
Have you seen the trailers for this game? if not, I highly recommend a reaction video before continuing, they are all basically an outside view of what you played here, with reapers arriving and no one knowing what is going on, since Shepard was marginalized and branded a nutter for last three years.
Helpful clue, do the Horizon mission first, it is absolutely essential. Side missions will disappear if you do the priority missions before them, some characters will not be available to talk to/interact with. Priority Tuchanka is an example, make sure to do any and all side missions before embarking on this. All of the survivors from ME2 will be available to talk to/interact with, unless you skip side missions in favour of priority missions.
I like how she went through the whole intro without using powers at all. Incinerate is also possibly one of THE most useful powers in the game. Its essential against the reaper brutes. Damage > Burning > Armor is usually what I go with for evolutions 4, 5, and 6. That'll MELT anything with armor and is fantastic with combo primed detonations against banshees. Power Damage & Duration in Operational Mastery also stacks with Incinerate, making it more powerful. What's most important is having fun though, ofc ^^
it really tells the story about how much shit just hit the fan. but i like that from a story perspective. it sets the mood really well and shows what they are up against. from here its downhill all the way. prepare yourself for a the hardest journey.
Liera, I would have picked soldier, just because in ME 3 you get so many weapons and some of them are just awesome. With an infiltrator you cannot use all of them. Try it out on another playthrough and you will see. This game is replayable like any number of times anyway, but I guess you already know that by now 🙂 Oh…. and I also wanted to say that is allways so nice to see a girl gamer, and when she's so pretty it's even better. You only expect those gicky or nurdy like looking girls doing it. No offence intended to them, just an observation 😀 😀
I enjoy the thoughtfulness you put into editing such as moving your webcam when you feel it might be blocking important info 🙂 just a side note: I think it's better if subtitles are left off. This is because as humans we naturally read ahead and sometimes it can ever so slightly prematurely spoil things for us especially in cutscenes. Just my two cents, hope you have fun!
Man, watching this reminds me of the day I finally got ME3 in 2012. I knew I was in for an emotional roller coaster, but still, knowing what I was in for was not enough…
1st) OMG, it's going to be a rude awakening when you get to the end. 2nd) Are you really playing the original ME3 from 2012 and not the Legendary Edition? If yes: Why?
To this day one of my absolute favorite game intros. Leaves you feeling rather hopeless and empty. They throw you right into the fire… no waiting, no prep, just BAM, hit hard by the Reapers. That haunting piano theme softly lilting above the chaos and destruction. They did a really good job with this one. You're in for a hell of a ride.
I always forget how LONG the opening Mars Archives mission is. Feels like 3 or 4 missions all rolled into one. Great way to spend time with a couple of characters going over events of previous games relationship wise.
Watching you go through this game, there's a common thread through most of science fiction, fantasy, games, movies, etc… we humans may not be the smartest, the strongest, the most advanced… but what we lack in any other area we MORE than make up for in pure, boneheaded stubbornness. We just don't back down, we don't quit.
I was recommended this video by YouTube. As a fan (nerd) of Mass Effect since the first one came out in 2007, I am delighted watching you play the games as a new comer. I have subscribed to follow your journey through ME and future content.
For what it is worth, that opening is still as strong 10 years later as it was the first time in 2012.
While Anderson and Hackett are both admirals, Hackett has seniority. after the battle of the citadel in mass effect one, Hackett is made the head of the Alliance navy. Any orders he gives take priority over any other orders provided by other admirals.
Effectively Hackett is a Grand admiral / Admiral of the fleet, the rest are just regular admirals
I am so excited for your ME3 playthrough!
small tip, since you started with paragon option with Illusive man stick with paragon thru the game.
Oh! Hey! I am in this game!

Everyone always misses the fact that you can level up Dadmiral Anderson after you meet the helicopter pilots, lol.
Really love these videos of you playing. Could you enable the subtitles for the game so us non-native speakers could follow the game a bit better?
Not gonna spoil it for Mt self but I just started playing the mass effect series this month I just beat 1 I am on 2 now I can't wait to finish
I let my party make their own decisions in combat lol
You should play mass effect 3 multiplayer,and play it on the hardest levels!
Strap in. You're in for quite a ride. <3

20:50 well, it could have been, should have been worse than you would ever know,
The dashboard melted but we still had the radio!

12 years and your only playing now, what you need a krogan intervention

Congrats! The opening to this game I never get tired of. And the rest of the game is just getting better. Your off to an awsome jurney. 😎
1:52:39 Funny, I saluted Admiral Hackett IRL just to glance to the video and seeing you doing the same 😀 Subbed!

Get yourself some tissues your gonna need them through the game
I would give my left leg to be able to play this series for the first time again .. best game ever

Why is your FemShep all cross-eyed looool
Corrective lenses perhaps 😁
She let Ashley die???
Did she play ME 1 and 2.
You really made your Shepard look like you.
Man, watching this reminds me of the day I finally got ME3 in 2012. I knew I was in for an emotional roller coaster, but still, knowing what I was in for was not enough…
I like it more when shepard is male, for me is more powerful
As soon as you can shop at the citadel, buy the Adas Rifle. It's a great weapon for you and any squadmates who can use it!
Hey Liera,i have a really good game series you should play ,called Warhammer Vermintide End Times also Warhammer Vermintide 2 !
this fem shep looks like Joan Rivers…after all the face lifts n pulls
1st) OMG, it's going to be a rude awakening when you get to the end.
2nd) Are you really playing the original ME3 from 2012 and not the Legendary Edition? If yes: Why?
Awesome. I love this game, start to finish. The intro is so desparate, so hopeless. love it
I am a prophet. I speak in riddles. The Star Child lies to you.

Impact shots do not use ammo BTW 😉
I will comeback to watch this after I finish all 3 games in the Legendary Edition. 😀
do you know you can just press 1 2 3 4 5 etc to activate powers?? it's the menu on top left and you can customize it dragging powers there.
you meet Liara, and no reaction?? i guess this is the first ME you are playing….if you haven't play 1 and 2, it's a big mistake

I don't often see people who play the infiltrator class, but that's always my go to. Glad to see I'm not the only one.
Ah ME3 the game that could have been the greatest game of all time. What's your favourite colour btw red, green or blue?
