Ooh that's very Amazing 🤩😍
So yeah, kinda goofy that you never get a proper tutorial with the Mako. It has a second weapon, which is kind of the primary weapon really. Helps you take down Thresher Maws and Geth Colossi much quicker. It has a boost and a jump too.
BTW, you may not have picked up on it but those Codex entries you read actually covered all 3 possible backgrounds for Shepard. Sole survivor was on Akuze and survived the thresher maws, war hero was a leader at Elysium during the Skyllian Blitz, and the ruthless background earns you the nickname "Butcher of Torfan" because your Shepard lead the raid and apparently kicked a lot of batarian ass.
13:54 AI research wasn't illegal in those days anyway – AI research was made illegal after the Geth rebelled to prevent something like that from happening again.
PS: The Mako has more than just the machine gun, it also has a large cannon.
The mako has 2 guns and a turbo bust chek kie bandings 😉
"that guy is super OP" She found out how hard it is to kill a krogan lol.
HAHAHA – what a great first meeting of a Thresher Maw – that was priceless. Space be scary.
Your Edolus expedition brings up a good point – you can land on a ton of planets which may have quests, enemies and loot, and/or collectables. Plenty to explore, and the Mako is pretty sick once you get the hang of it.
Yeah the Krogans are OP – that's why they (and Wrex) have the reputation they do. They are built like a tank and evolved extra hearts, lungs, and other organs for redundancy.
1:26:24 – yeah there's tension – keep talking to both of em a lot and it'll make sense
Dammit, I'm gonna have to install this again for yet another playthrough XD
Cheers
It’s been awhile since we had a proper battle, so excited to travel to these area’s & that last convo ended abruptly. Lol 🤗
Hanging up on the council is my favorite thing in this game.
I don't normally like custom-made Shepards, but the look of yours is good. 👍
1:18:10 I was hoping you'd pick that dialog option. I don't know if you've ever seen Star Trek 3: Search For Spock, but that line and the Krogan's response are a direct reference to that movie lol
Read the Codex (secondary) about the Mako's controls. Its rocket launcher is awesome, and boost helps climbing mountains.
21:20 Someday…someday. 🙂
When you're in the Mako, don't forget you have 2 weapons: the machine gun (which you've been using!) and a cannon that does massive damage.
Playing with a controller, I believe it's the RB button above the trigger.
"Disconnecting" is a lot of fun, but it does mess a bit with paragon if you are wanting to play that way.
6:00 Climbed all the way up that mountain just for a Star Trek reference.
It seems almost everyone starts that cluster with Edolus.
1:18:10 And another Star trek reference
A tip, some asteroid field have hidden stuff in them, when you hover the cursor over such object a similar ping to when you select planet happens.
This is important info! You can talk to Admiral Kahoku, but don't do his mission until you are done with Noveria.
Also, on Noveria it's important that you take Liara in your squad.
I love all the deep lore you read from the codex I love that more than anything lol. Next mission reading the codex for 3 hours lmao
You're missing out on some great renegade lines
beat this game a ton of times and have never found that grenades stash
It looks like you are enjoying yourself. That’s good, I always have so much fun when I am playing this series
Mass Effect has some RPG elements to it…but in combat, think of it as a “strategic shooter” and not a straight up shooter. There is a reason the action pauses and you can pan the battle field when you bring up the power wheel. Different guns will suit different situations, but the powers are the ones that give you an edge in battle. Keep experimenting and learn more about them. If you do that you will find yourself in control of the battlefield. You can also direct your squad mates powers as well, give it a try. I don’t want to spoil anything so I’ll let you keep learning. But I will say that just as different guns are best suited for different situations so it is with your squad mates.
Thanks for the vid, as always very entertaining and enjoyable!!
Definitely keep talking to Wrex and Garrus for unlocking side-quests related to both of their character arcs (Garrus’ cowboy cop tendencies and Wrex’s attitudes about his people and what he can do for them/the genophage). Doing them helps deepen your relationship with them
Once you've finished the game, you should check out the vids on YT showing all the renegade dialogue options. Shepard can be a real arsehole lol
Wrex: When was the last time you saw a Krogan scientist.
Me: uh…. Uh… first playthrough of all the mass effect games me or after that me?
Can you check your volumes? Your voice is sometimes really quiet… can hardly hear you.
Liara is my favorite Charakter in Mass Effect 🙂
2nd Garrus 3rd Wrex
You can heal your squad in combat by using the triangle button it uses up a medigel so when the red line under a squad member gets low it is advisable to hit the triangle.
Never pass up collecting medi gel
Congratulations for finding your first Thresher Maw XD A little sidenote, since the Codex entry talks about Akuze. That's where you were stationed, so you were part of that platoon that encountered the Thresher Maws for the very first time by humanity. As you know, that meet-up didn't go particularly well.
Planets
You can actually land on several of those planets and many planets you can survey. Sometimes it's because of a mission you picked up somewhere, but there are also missions to be found when you land on those planets. Some don't really have missions, but they still provide new insights and interesting tidbits of information that you can bring with you as you progress through the game. On a lot of planets you can also find collectables, like Salarian dog tags, Asari writings and so on. While they don't seem to do anything in ME1, at least the Asari writings will carry over to the next games where they play a tiny role. The minerals, however, will definitely carry over to Mass Effect 2 (as a relative amount, not everything) since you will actually make use of the minerals there and they want to reward you for going out of your way to hunt the minerals down.
So you don't have to scour the universe to collect all that, but they do have some effect and influence on future games.
One more thing: asteroid belts sometimes hold some secrets, but you won't know they're there unless you hover your cursor over the entire span of the belt. There's at least one mission where you're supposed to find the location within an asteroid belt that you may not notice just by looking at it.
Probe / Electronic skill
When it says your Electronic skill is too low, it means none of your squadmates you brought along with you have a sufficient high Electronic skill level. You'll have to update their skill level by going into the Squad-screen and assign points to it. Based on your videos so far and the consistently highlighted Squad-screen, it looks like you haven't invested any points so far in anything after Eden Prime. If you did, you may want to show that you do level them up, so we can get a grasp at why you fail something, otherwise you'll get the standard comments that won't help you any further.
In general, Tali can be very proficient in Electronics and Decryption, whereas with Garrus you're required to unlock the Electronic skill first by leveling another skill up to a certain point. It does mean that if you want to make sure you can salvage all that stuff, you'll need to bring either of those two with you.
Liara
Now that you've recruited Liara, you may want to bring her with you when you go to Noveria. Shortly after docking and before entering the facility she'll have some unique dialogue, so you can swap her out after that (the ship is about a 30 second walk from there) if you prefer to bring someone else instead, but I figured I could point that out to you so you don't miss out on that.
Disconnect
Sure you can just hang up on the Council, but there's a reason why it's the lowest option 😉
50:50 Geth amateur 😂
You drive the Mako surprising well for a rookie. lol
The Quarians consider human children a valuable resource for the flotilla. They roll them in a special spice blend then cook them on an open spit. Their species considers them a rare culinary treat.
Liara has always been my favorite <3
