Smell that greatness? He is...The One!
6.30 onwards.... eargasms
Oh, that's where you drew inspiration for your marvelous songs. Love it
6:30 Samara at the police station, this theme plays. I loaded a save to hear it again.. and now here I am. Its so peaceful..
@@Deathwing21 Yeah! I remember it from that scene. it kinda feels Dune-esque, or Sands Of Time
@@miracleofsound The Miracles of Music keeps on making me feel amazed with each discovery, Especially the obscure ones had i not stopped to think for a moment at that scene i would have never heard this specific sound
"She was the strongest and smartest. She would not accept the injustice thrust upon her. She fought to the end... I am so proud of her."
"You killed her for being what she was."
"And I would again."
Liked Samara. Conflicted, but utterly ruthless and dogmatic. Good character.
Now if only she would stop turning up to firefights in high heels and a wetsuit.
I wonder if there's a mode to hide tits now... And hi grom 2020 :^)

Samara is so severely underrated! For me she is the best ME-Woman ever. Mystical, powerful, determined, cold but yet with a soft spot.
She is a truly tragic character with a lot of depth. And she is the star far away that can never be reached (romantically) : (
92Beyo when you read the background notes the Shadow Broker has on her you can really see the pain, she's just realized that she's one of the rare asari that can only spawn potential serial killers because of the defect.
I've never really liked Samara, personally. I think they didn't give her quite enough attention in either game. Also, the whole code thing is a bit strange. She eventually just seems like she's blindly following orders.
Lizard_Buttock No she doesn't, she even wants to kill herself before she has to kill her daughter.
Her aligment is Lawful Neutral, she is stick to her Justicar Code and must obey it at any cost, she preserves the law but she is not a zealot. Romantically, she is too old and she even admited that (I think)
TheArDaMaX she still can if she wished it, but the biological imperative of her Matron years has passed by
8:10 I remember when i crouched behined the box and listen to that change of baseline octave. I was like.. Fuck me Miranda, could you just stop shooting for a moment? I'm trying to listen to that great song! You cant even hit anybody!
+Belfor09 There were quite a few times where I went into the menu just to listen to the music more. Here (especially the gunship battle, which unfortunately isn't on the soundtrack but you can find it online) and the Horizon spaceport battle (same as gunship... don't know why they left out such good stuff) most notably, but also for a lot of the suicide mission.
Coffee Break Hero
Unless she is one those strap-on girls
+Belfor09 wot?
HAHA!!
The whole Mass Effect 2 soundtrack is generally well done, but I love this piece in particular. The soft movement that plays during the cinematic scenes is beautiful, and the fast paced part that plays during combat is epic.
Every time i hear this i got chills:P Truly fantastic soundtrack, definitely one of my favorite soundtracks of the entire ME trilogy. Respect man!
Samara never seemed to me like she was fully wound up in the game as some of the other characters were - Miranda, Grunt, Tali. For her it was another amazing adventure in a centuries long life of amazing adventures.
Hey, how about the Samara spin-off?
I'd be down for a spin-off where we either play as her on one of her adventures (thinking about the Spectre fight, specifically) or where she joins our character on an adventure and she's featured prominently (maybe as our moral compass and potentially a final boss).
ME3 needed more Samara.
My favourite Asari. Liara a close second, but Samara us just such a gracious BAMF
TheTaintedWisdom lmao
lol....Well, I like yours better, TheTaintedWisdom :D
+TheTaintedWisdom MILF is a better word XD.
She could snap and kill everybody onboard the Normandy if Shepard did an unjust thing
@@varric I believe you mean BAMILF.
I know it fits the themes of Samara and the rest of this track, but my god that final combat music was wasted on such a trivial part of the game: fighting some mercenaries.
If only Samara is in the next Mass Effect. Bring back this track!
+Malcolm Swoboda well. she dosent have much longer to live. liara might becalive then. but definitly not samara.
Robert Harris I don't expect to see Samara again unless there's some twist about it in the writing. In terms of straight chronology, she indeed doesn't have 'much' longer (technically centuries longer, but she's well matured by now and more likely to be seen as a matriarch than matron).
Sublime Heretic Old as hell, I know, but fighting the Eclipse sisters with that music on Insanity with Garrus and Mordin was pretty damn impactful.
@@youraverageinternetperson4323 Especially when that crazy Asari in the final room was trying to bombard you with those Toxine-filled canisters
The Mass Effect series has a lot of awesome music, but it's this piece that I keep coming back to (also the soundtrack for Overlord and the Suicide Mission theme).
My favourite part is at 4:44. It's sounds so mystical and mysterious. Like Samara.
+szolar1 If you listen closely, you can also find this part in the Club Afterlife theme.
+Abuyin ibn Djadir Holy crap you're correct
Crappy Nappy Sure I am, Abuyin ibn Djadir ibn Omar Kalid ben Hadji al Sharidi is always correct.
I love that part, does anyone know what kind of instrument is it?
@@Abudzin Someone just edited that there, in the OST, it's not there.
This track is superb. I love the middle-eastern vibe to it. I was very impressed when I heard this while completing her recruitment mission. Thanks for uploading.
Funnily, it reminds me of Prince of Persia.
@@TheSocratesofAthens it does indeed. Persian/Hindi inspired soundtrack really works for Asari I'd say.
Love this theme. It reminds me of primal/tribal asari.
+The Flying Spaghetti Monster watch on youtube scene where Javik and Liara talking on Thesia inside temple.
... do you have experiences with primal/tribal asari?
But...great wind...
Biotic god...
@@janmedeus3070 Will take a nap now. Destroy the universe later...
@@optimaltt6070
"Useless..."
I love this. It has that Egyptian Protoss sound to it. I love the Asari. They remind me of a mixture of the 2.
With tentacles instead of hair, but yeah biotic = psi powers and very advanced race with some spiritualism.
Yes very Egyptian
One of the most distinctive and recognizable soundtracks in the game
"Nom nom nom. eating wasabi...."
+drbarnowl "...kissing Massani"
+ZachValkyrie "... and fapping to Asari"... wait, what?
Wait, is that a quote from a DLC?
Is Samara ACTUALLY saying "nom nom nom" in the game? oO
No, that's just what the chorus is chanting at the end.
at least as far as we can tell...
Ooooh, ok I see :D
7:26 Asari!
This always makes me think of Assassin's Creed 1's music
7:25 Let the epicness commence!
Not only does she get this great theme, she gets what is possibly the *only* competently made telekenetic battle in all of human history.
One of the things I like about ME or Bioware for that matter is that it reflects earth's cultures very well in these aliens. Both western and eastern. also we see that not every villain is evil, every member of a "race" or ideal is different and mistakes made by quarians, geth and krogan can be forgiven. Thats a very strong and meaningful message right there.
Talked about Space Egypt
Towards the end is a great female oriented combat section of the track, kinda amazonian. Wish it was seamlessly looped a couple of times at least.
am I the only one who gets reminded of Prince of Persia for some reason when i listen to this?
"If I were a maiden Shepard I'd be dragging you to the floor..."
while i agree with everything... there was one thing you said that really got me irritated. While its true Samara's Children are all Ardat-Yakshi, she only had to kill one: Morinth. Her other daughters Falere and Rila were on Lesuss, and resided in the Ardat-Yakshi Monastery.
Also, Samara is the name of a city in Russia.
Samara's often overlooked. I think she's one of the best characters - then again, you could take almost any character out of ME2 and put him or her in another game and that character would be the best one.
is she the strongest asari? i wonder if she was stronger than benezia from the first one, Liara;s mom. IN the part where you get to let her kill her daughter or let her daughter kill her, i let Samara put her down. I didnt like her daughter. besides Samara is stronger and smarter.
+terry autry Morinth is a psycophatic bitch.
yea but morinth gets it handed to her when you side with her mom. Find peace in the embrace of the Goddess
+terry autry I think that Samara would be actually stronger than Benezia since Benezia's mind was corrupted by Seren's power. Because of indoctrination, Benezia only thought that she was super powerful and limitless, while in reality she was as strong as any other Asari. Samara's mind was clean and that's why she was able to use her powers so effectively. So yeah, I think that Samara is easily a winner in 1v1 duel.
Considering how Benezia is practically the only one in the series to fight and stave off Indoctrination for periods of time, I'd wager she is far more powerful than Samara.
Shepard himself acknowledged in ME1 that Asari Matriarchs are some of the most powerful beings in the galaxy.
and lets not forget that the fight in ME1 against Benezia was total bullocks, all she does is shot you with a Pistol, and use her power to open doors... doors. -____-
I hate going to Noveria for that very reason.
+NovaPrime1869 Have you ever faced a squad of asari commandos? Few humans have.
If it wasn't for Liara I would've chosen Sumara on my first run through.
The Best Gun Ever Necrochasm
Best f***ing profile picture of all time!
Есть кто из Самары то?
Making connections between the Asari and the Arabians could have easily been interpreted as an insult. The middle East was where the first civilizations started, whereas the Asari were the first spacefaring species. The latter, however, were only first because of an assholish behaviour that almost got the galaxy killed, so you might wanna avoid any unfortunate implications...
Like the wrath of an angry Goddess pursuing and descending upon the wicked. Beautiful.
This has to be my favourite soundtrack throughout the entire ME trilogy alongside '' I was lost without you'' :)
Wish they had kept the arabic "motif" for the Asari civilization in ME3. Alas, that is just one little thing in a sea of what made ME3 inferior to ME2. "ME2 got GOTY 2010! How can we do that again with ME3? Lets stop Drew Karpyshin from being head writer and take Jack Wall off the music team!" Goddamnit . . .
Sorry but I actually loved ME3, and its soundtrack was so beautiful. It's just different. I prefer ME3 soundtrack because I think it's more emotional, powerful. But ME2 soundtrack is amaeing too. I just disagree with the fact that ME3 is a lot inferior to ME2.
4:10 is amazing
Am I the only guy out here who thinks Samara and Thane would make a great couple? Seriously, they're both religously minded badasses who bring JUSTICE TO THE GUILTY and have a lot of emotional baggage to deal with. Plus, I just love the idea of it.
My goodness. The instrumentation. The... EVERYTHING. I LOVE EVERYTHING. It almost sounds like there's some Battlestar Galactica influence and OMG IS THAT A DUDUK? I LOVE DUDUKS!!! But anyway, I've always sensed some BSG influence in these games. No surprise there would be some in the music. This is probably my favorite character theme so far.
I'm Commander shepard, and Samara is obligated to kill me if i don't say this is my favourite theme on the Mass Effect 2 OST.
Who cares how old she is when she looks that good!
7:25
@iamtehgame "Samara" is actually Persian for "Guardian"... so that might be why it has an arabic feel to it
I wonder why this reminds me of Prince of Persia...
SHe killed several?or did you skip all of Samara's conversations,about how she had already killed people before fleeing, how she corrupted entire villages, living like a Queen,and then sending them in hordes to kill Samara,forcing Samara to erradicate the entire village. There was no morehope forMorinth,she was already a murderer for several centuries by the time you first met her in Omega.
Morinth apologists are the kind of people she kills too LOL.
The Code actually let the Justicars to have lovers. However Samara thinks, that she is too old for that. You know she is nearly one thousands years old, near to the Matriarch-stage.
The end!!!! That what I only wanted.The end.
What is the voice at the end of the song saying? It sounds like "Asari" something.
I second this, it's so melancholic.
Thumbs up if Samara is the greatest squadmate in ME2!
The thing is, by the time Morinth fled to avoid a life in the monastery, she had unashamedly killed several people. The addiction to killing is cumulative, only truly manifesting after the first few kills. She drove Samara to become a justicar out of desperation, and killed hundreds more for pleasure. Samara does realise that her code is outdated, but she had to stop Morinth from killing anyone else. She surrendered everything for the code, and disobeying it would mean it was all for nothing.
@66ALDARIS Somebody else noticed! I hope the arabic sounding bits of this music become the musical cues for the Asari civilisation when we visit Thessia in Mass Effect 3 :D
A shame that Samara's loyalty mission didn't involve any combat. While luring out Morinth and being a hipster was fun, I would have killed to hear the last minute of this track while fighting a super-powered Morinth or something.
After 11 year since this game came out, this track still inspires me to think about SF(Science Fiction and Space Fantasy xD) stories.
Even inspired me to think about my own SF universe.
Jack Wall, Sam Hulick, David Kates and Jimmy Hinson are geniuses.
And this is one of the best space opera soundtracks I've ever listened too!
Yea... 11 years later it is still is one of the best.
Wow, I never really noticed her theme before! It definitely fits the old mysterious warrior theme.
ECLIPSE!!
I always found asari quite badass. They are weaker then some of the other races but they are not to be underestimated
Their superiority in Biotics give them an edge
i like how it gets fast, slow, a big more faster, and then very fast. like the battle gets more intense, but then they get tired and try to figure out a different strategy, and then go at it again.
I detected Afterlife motif. Unless it's actually Samara motif in Afterlife theme...
I'm still upset that Zaeed never scored with her.
Duh I hated Zaeed, I found he was such a dull and pretending-to-be-badass character... I'm grateful he didn't score with Samara D:
This theme is actually missing a part : O
In Samara's mission quest, when you're fighting the helicopter, the music tone changes into a techno shit. Where is that part : O ? It's the best part of the music too.l
Most of the tracks in this game's OST have some downtime after the track's climax. Jacob, Thane, and Miranda's immediately come to mind. Not this one though haha
I need a longer version of the part that starts around 7:50 :(
@Jonaries Man,first of all Morinth lies to you all time in game.just remember when she told you how you will survive mind melding with her,then she kill you.Samara don't lie,because her code forbid her.And,I mean who will chose murder psychopath over warrior of justice and righteousness?
But I admit,if there was a way to save both Morinth and Samara,I would chose it.Just because somebody is born with genetic mistake doesn't mean it is not reversible.
@lordnimr0d Well, we live only around 80 years now. In ME Human can live up to 150 max. And Asari can live even over 1000 years. To them we are like hamsters, live for several years and die.
@lordnimr0d No problem, and why not the point? Asari don't age like Human females. They can still gave a birth to a child even at 900 year of their life.
@TheIronMarine He won't. Ardat'Yakshi is made only in "pureblood" relationship (Asari and Asari). And last time I checked Nothization is Human.
So, what is the Code say about downloading Mass Effect 2 music illegally?
Meh, I'll risk i-*neck snapped by Justicar*.
Sounds like Battlestar Galactica
Morinth and Samara are fighting and ask Shepard to choose...
Shepard: I love it when women fight over me :)
Once the final fight was underway in the recruitment mission, I had to pause just to listen to this kickass theme
Each theme is designed to cover parts of both that character's recruitment and loyalty missions which is why they're so long.
@JaminKoehn I totally agree. Nonessential ones (for the possible purposes of ME3's story) who may still appear and do things, just not be squad, would be: Samara/Mordeth, Thane, Mordin, Wrex, etc. I dunno though... I'd like MOST of all of them back, and for even Ashley/Kaiden to have a really good return in stronger forms. Yes really, I like them both. Jacob though...mehhhh. I want Miranda and Jack back only because it seemed they only got 1/2 the character changes/development that they needed.
@broddersamse
Barrier: ONLY Jack or Samara. Loyal. Everyone else fails at the end. Good to have biotic upgrades too at least, or something like Jack's upgrade.
Tech tube: ONLY Tali or Legion. Loyal. Everyone else fails at the end, except Kasumi if you downloaded her. Good to clear the last area before freeing them. Upgrades may be good too.
Fireteams: People like Miranda, Garrus, Jacob, Grunt(?), etc.
Some just aren't good in this stuff, like Thane and Mordin. I still luv em though.
love the soundtracks 2 thes games but 4 2's if i had 2 pick a favorite it would b hard a beat this 1
@emeraldthechao174 Personally, I wouldn't refer to them as two companies. Austin and Montreal are just two of BioWare's workcenters.
At any rate, even with Montreal being able to focus solely on Mass Effect 3, the multiple possible endings to Mass Effect 2 still concerns me because I worry about who they'll bother bringing back.
I'm just being cautiously optimistic. I hope to see some new gameplay mechanics in ME3, but not at the cost of too many of the ME2 characters.
@AtticWarrior1994 Nope. I think they would make a great couple, too.
Maybe in Mass Effect 3, there will squad members hooking up with each other, and Shepard might have to compete for one or the other's affection.
I like it...but given the multitude of possible endings to Mass Effect 2, and BioWare having to develop Mass Effect 3 to tailor itself to those endings (regardless of which squad members BioWare would bring back), they likely have enough on their plate.
@IntuitionJo Well, It depends on how strong someones ethics are or what kind of Ethics they have. I think Morinth is a truly unique creature capable of power beyond all others in her superior species. Theres more to the story i can feel it. She a goddess and it wont suprise me if she truly is the genetic destiny of the asari and not really sterile. Therefore the short sided decision i believe is killing her. But thats just me, and im usually told Im wierd. On a side note I love them both.
@LordSensidon01 Quite so...quite frankly though, I'm beginnning to wonder just how many more epic-ly awesome ME characters will actually fit before...idk..minds will -actually- start exploding...well..shards of awesome or something. I mean, I was stoked just to find that Garrus & Tali(And 'Jeff') were both back and better than ever...then they go on to stack on the likes of Samara and Legion, to say nothing of the rest.
Careful with biotics. Most powers only work properly on enemies with no protective layers (shields, biotic barriers, armour). Pull can still damage armour or barriers, but it won't lift the target until it's down to health.
On normal and below, that isn't a problem, but any higher and every enemy gets a protective layer, regardless of rank. It makes being an up-close class like the Vanguard incredibly difficult and riskier than it already is at normal.
I used to feel sorry for Morinth but I can see why Samra killed her. She was totally selfish and nutty. When I was playing renagade I killed her in the suicide mission. No way was I going to let her turn into a banshee and kill me in part 3. Shes strong but dumb as a brick. I can't believe Samara called her the smartest of all her daughters.
@Tleilaxu0 By "they" I think you really mean "he," and "he" would be the composer of the Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2 soundtracks: Inon Zur.
It is entirely possible that Inon Zur found some inspiration in the music of the preceeding BioWare title.
I, for one, can't fault him for that; he, clearly, has excellent taste in music.
@Angelimir the thing about being an infiltrator is to take em out before they see you. the tactical cloak!! :D but as soon as they see you u get one hit... lol. the hardest part of the game so far on Insanity (im up to Mordin) is the fkin first lvl boss. using lvl 1 weapons is excruciating... unless i missed out of the weapon loadout...
@Pestinha92
Not always - played the game on hardcore with a soldier, and felt it was way to easy attimes. Assault rifles + all types of specialized ammo eats enemies absurdly fast - add to that tech/biotic able squad mates and the death patrol is born...
I'll try the game with a biotic char for more challenge, tbh.
P.S: geth pulse rifle is horribly over-powered.
I think I have made a language mistake. I was trying to say that I agree with you, I should have said: instead of forcing their propaganda beliefs on us like they usually do with other games, this time they let us choose what we want, which is the right thing to do. sorry if I misspoke. I was very tired when I wrote the prev. response.
@ajw34307 2nd playthru on Insanity atm..Adept with sniper training like my ME1 Alt-Shepard...Although in ME2 it's almost like being a second Thane....0.o(damm, they took my idea.)
Difficulty with this adept was a bit rough starting out, but once your abilities pick up a bit...well...I think you maybe can guess the rest.
@exeHL
Nott rue for me, I've played through on the secon-highest diffuculty as an Adept and - though it was bloody hard - it didn't feel hopeless and I seldom actually died. Fully upgraded Warp REALLY helps, and just have combat-heavy squadmates like Grunt with you.
Liara vs Benezia vs Samara vs Morinth vs Aria vs Captain Wasea vs Enyala.
Somewhere in the holy land of earth in medival period, an deathmatch where only one asari will receive victory in earth and leave their opponents behind in the sand.
(Note: I am lazy to list all badass asari's I know)
@HotFuzz456
....well galaktica is destroyer/carrier mixup.
i dont deny that thanix cannon wouldnt destroy galactica
,but it has lots of vipers+raptors capable to be
eqipped missiles/nukes...just saying...if i´
could choose between galactica or SR-2
galactica would be my choise...
There is a bit of that...Shohreh Aghdashloo, a well known Iranian actress, plays Shala'Raan vas Tonbay, the female admiral whom you first talk to...as a side note, I wonder if they were at all influenced by Visas Marr, the KotoR II character created by Obsidian.
While great, Samara OST seems to be a combination of other songs I heard somewhere else.
@bandofbrothersmovie Not exactly, but they could.
I meant for those two characters, because they are avoidable *outside of the game* you actually have to do an external download for them. Avoiding Samara/Thane would be more of a conscious choice *in game*.
@Ectasy1233 Ehm... Did you by chance buy the magazine Fornax on Omega? The human publication featuring erotic pictures of various alien and non alien species, being the first magazine to offer full sensory stimulation? Look it up on google :P
Sorry Samara, but my preference of asari can be child archaeologists, pirate queens, vampires, upper-class prostitutes, double-dealing spectres, milf bartenders, rogue neurospecialists, even bitchy councilors; but never religious zealots.
@HotFuzz456 I say in theory, since we've never seen only space battles against collectors and a reaper but not with other mass effect-races. Codex-told some of the standard line ups against ship-to-ship combat, but mostly energy weapons played a small role.
@2SSSR2
Samara said that her "genetic mistake" is not reversible.
And after all morinth decided to run away and use her powers to drain life out of living things, therefore she should die before more people suffer from her powers.
@Verminator4 A sort of oriental song...is PERFECT!!!!for Samara...in Italy she have the voice of Galadriel\Cate Blanchett(LOTR MOVIE)and the voice are absolutly awesome for her...And so you are absolutly right!!!!!
P.S. Sorry for my english:-!
mm I don't know why but when I watch UFO videos on TH-cam and listening to this it all fits together for some reason weird I know but meh. especially when you watch watch one clip with a load of UFO footage.
wow...this is beautiful, fits samara so well too. kinda reminds me of warcraft's night elf themes, just slightly more epic.
