  1. Now it's not a spoiler, I can say that this was very close to not being possible because of an ME2 decision. To achieve peace between the Quarians and Geth, you need both Tali and Legion alive, 80%+ paragon/renegade and to have completed the optional Rannoch missions before priority. Then there's a points based system where:

    – Preventing Tali from being exiled from the migrant fleet in ME2 is +2

    – Destroying the geth heretics in ME2 is +2

    – Resolving the disagreement between Tali and Legion in ME2 without siding with either is +1

    – Completing the mission to rescue Admiral Koris is +1 and choosing to rescue Koris over his crew is a further +1.

    You need a total of 5/7 points, otherwise you essentially have to pick a side and the other is destroyed. So because you rewrote the heretics, if you'd picked saving Koris' crew over the Admiral, things would've turned out far less favourably.

  2. A fun little thing you note as you go through the Mass Trilogy is the parallels between Saren and Shepard.

    At the start of Mass Effect 1, Saren:
    – Was an influential Spectre
    – Interacted with a Prothean beacon which gave them intimate knowledge of previous cycles in order to influence the events of this cycle.
    – Had a powerful flagship controlled by a powerful artificial intelligence and could remotely take control of a body to fight on the ground.
    – Had Matriach Benezia serving as one of his top lieutenants.
    – Gained the loyalty of an army of Krogan through attempts to cure the genophage
    – Gained the loyalty of the Geth.
    – Tries bringing back the rachni for use in missions and battle.
    – Had contracts/alliances with various pirates and mercenary groups.

    Now depending on the player’s choices, at this point in Mass Effect 3, Shepard:

    – Is an influential Spectre
    – Interacted with a Prothean beacon which gave them intimate knowledge of previous cycles in order to influence the events of this cycle.
    – Has a powerful flagship controlled by a powerful artificial intelligence and could remotely take control of a body to fight on the ground.
    – Has the daughter of Matriach Benezia serving as one of their top lieutenants.
    – Gained the loyalty of an army of Krogan through attempts to cure the genophage
    – Gained the loyalty of the Geth.
    – Brought back the rachni for use in missions and battle.
    – Has contracts/alliances with various pirates and mercenary groups.

  3. The Rannoch ending moment is so intense 😳… I'm glad you managed to make a peace between them although RIP Legion 😭. I remember Tali jumping off the cliff in one playthrough I did >_<.

  5. I don't think she realizes that in ME3 the individual score for paragon/renegade doesn't matter. Only their combined value is important. In other words, there is no need to pick the paragon option EVERY SINGLE TIME.

  6. I have played 1500hours of ME LE, and I have never seen the convo between Javik and Edi at 1:27:00 before. This game and your playthrough continue to impress.
    Also, by making that mistake with your weapons at the start of the last mission you got to see just how lethal an vanguard with only one weapon can be. +200% cooldown speed with an upgraded shotgun= win. I usually play the same way, cooldown boost and pistol only.

  7. You haven't experienced this game until you romance Tali then fuck something up in either ME2 or ME3 and decide to help the geth and be forced to watch Tali kill herself, reloading the save, sacraficing the geth but be so mad about it that you rush through the remainder of the game just so you can start ME2 all over again making the perfect choices and having a flawless game.
