Welcome to my completely blind experience of the Mass Effect trilogy! Since this is a blind play through; I have NO idea what this game is about or what to expect. I’m so excited to share this adventure with you all and I hope you enjoy the play through 🙂
In case you missed it, check out my play through of Mass Effect 1!

In addition to this older game reminding you of a newer game, Baldur's Gate 3, did you know that BioWare developed Baldur's Gate 1 and 2? Funny coincidence, eh?
There is another store a few seconds walk from where you were to upgrade your equipment on Tuchanka. I'm new to your channel so I took a quick look at other places you visited. Since you favor your sniper, as a reminder, there's an upgrade at the Citadel that you opt out. Also another at Omega, which you didn't have enough credits.
KALIWALI…verren fighting.."this is awful"… proceeds to blow up pyjaks with rockets.."it's actually pretty cool, this is a fun little mini game"… laughs when the pyjak screamed in her ear when dying.
Don't forget when you select weapons for your sqaud you want them to use, you need to arm them with those weapons once the mission starts along with their ammo powers for the weapon.
Another good playthrough, i also like using the sniper rifle most of the time.
Key Kali. You mentioned playing Baldur's Gate 3 in the video. Did you record your playthrough of it? I would love to watch that as well since I'm currently running through the game for the first time myself and am loving it so far.
"I don't want to see the Varren fight and kill each other." Also… "Killing these Pyjacks is fun!"
Poor little monkey creatures just trying to not starve to death. 😉
The illusive man is a prick. His alto ego is DJ Trump
I don't know. If you remember, Wrex was already tired of the krogan way. He killed his own father over it. He left because no one wanted to listen. What I think you DID inspire him to do was to continue that fight: to not give up and continue to pursue the necessary changes for the krogan people.
IFF (Identify Friend or Foe) is a common military term, not specific to Mass Effect. It's been used in the military for a long time to identify who is who in a combat engagement.
IFFI is the same thing, though the less common acronym. It stands for "Identify Friend or For Interrogator."
It's not really explained, but I think the subtext with Wrex in ME1 was that he was simply a mercenary looking for work. Then you helped him out, and gave him purpose again after Virmire. When Saren was gone and Sovereign was debris, he left for Tuchanka to rebuild.
Also, on the Tali picture bit. I believe that was just an easter egg for players romancing her in ME3, though Bioware dropped the ball on it honestly. It was quickly discovered that it was a stock photo that had barely been edited to make the model look alien.
The Collectors existed before ME 1. Remember, many people had heard of them through rumors and such, but hadn't encountered them. So it's not Shepard's fault they exist.
😂😂 Give us all the cliffhanger, so we waiting with excited anticipation for the next episode.
Edi's responses UPDATE as you play the game.
Drink everything she says this is wild or this is gross. 😝
Rex isn't xenophobic he has every legitimate reason to be afraid and not trust the other galaxy races. They've broken every promise with the Krogans and have infected their kind with a fertility virus leading to millions of still born babies. It's the rest of the galaxy that has a xenophobia issue with krogans.
Wrex <3
In my opinion, I'd say Shepard had an influence on Wrex trying to change things for Krogans, after all, in Mass Effect 1, he was saying that he gave up helping the Krogans. It's always so great to see some character development like that!
The paragon/renegade system is fairly simple.
In short, top option on the right side of the dialogue circle -> paragon option
Bot option in the right side of the dialogue circle -> renegade option.
What actually is said isn't really all that relevant, that's just how it works. And of course, middle option is neutral.

Looks like Joker is chasing a fly on his virtual keyboard 😁
"Shepard, my Friend!"
– is one of the sentences that melts my heart in seconds <3 It is so genuine!
The Collectors' ship mission was a trap set up by the Collectors themselves, including the Turian signal they sent out. The Illusive Man caught on it but decided to not reveal it to Shepard.
