That was very nice to see, where all the homeworlds are! If in Milky Way so many racs origin from one corner of the galaxy, imagine how many races there could be in the Cluster we will explore in Andromeda!
@@jacobcasey5202 As a stand alone game it's very good. But kind of disappointing compared to the trilogy. Worth playing. I'm definitely going to revisit it after I complete the remastered version.
I hoped you'd make a lore video about this for a quite a while now. I hadn'd thought you'd actually do it though. This mini-series is even better than anything I expected. You continue to surprise your audience with the amount of quality and dedication put into your chanel.
Huge mass effect fan, surprised I'm just stumbling across your channel. Awesome job, instant sub. On a side note, I wish I could find a map of the galaxy with pin points of all the race homeworlds like you did in the video, it would be awesome to have.
I thought I knew my Mass Effect but man oh man was I wrong. I had no idea that I didn't even know the map of the milky way that well. I didn't even notice the whole third world aspect of non-council space.
I always thought it was an interesting idea. That its possible theirs another separate mass relay network apart from the one shown in the ME universe and its possible there two separate galactic civilisation living on top of each other without realising it
I regret that we never saw more species after the yahg in ME2s DLC. Hope somehow one of the sleeper species shows up in Andromeda somehow. Like the raloi somehow having someone on the Ark ships.
I believe Hanar space is located near Salarian space, since Jondum Bau mentions that they're next to one another. Also planet descriptions mention the Hanar and Drell a lot when your in the Eagle Nebula, which is a little close.
It baffles me when I hear that almost all the races in the game are from on corner of the galaxy. Imagine the possibilities if ever return to the Milky Way. Perhaps one day the Terminus system will unite and it would be the Citadel systems versus the Terminus. Imagine it like the civil war in Skyrim, and we choose the side.
Asari we'll use peace and justice for the galaxy Salarian well stand and guide the galaxy to a better place turains we'll upload peace across the galaxy humans "WHATS UP FUCKERS"
Could you do a video about whether we will ever get to see what happens to Shepard after the breathing scene in the destroy ending of Mass Effect 3? I would really like to see what is Shepard's ultimate fate someday in the future. Could it possibly be shown in the introduction of Mass Effect Andromeda?
Hey Minius, thanks for the reply! It is sad to hear that that is the case with Shepard's story. What about your take on the "Intro Theory" by Mass Effect Follower? I found it really interesting. I recommend that you watch his video. What is your opinion on the Intro Theory?
Does the Council not have a outpost of any kind of sorts in the Terminus system or something too keep some areas more peacefull their? Just seems weird too me, but as always great video Minius.
They have no official placement in the Terminus Systems. But practically, they seem to have Illium as a border trading hub, Aria as a contact, and likely various disavowed spies and agents manipulating the region. Its still under a sort of controlled chaos - they just don't want to dig in and mess with it so much that it might unite and be the biggest threat of anything (potentially surpassing Krogan and Rachni).
Kahje's on that side of the map, definitely. Can't remember the Drell planet's name but it's near Kahje anyway. Sure I seen it during playthroughs. They're both in the Citadel bit I think. Also the Yahg homeworld's somewhere in the mix on that side of the galaxy I'm fairly sure... think it was in ME3 maybe? Can't remember that one's name off-hand either, though. Nearer our bit, I think. Of course, then you have the Collector homeworld somewhere in the galactic core... who else? I guess the Keeper homeworld would be the Citadel itself. Hmm. Quarians / Geth seem like oddballs all the way over the other side. And I guess as far as Thresher Maws go, it all depends on whether the Krogan legends about Kalros being the "mother of all" are true or not. My guess is not, though... they are known to exaggerate from time to time, after all. I think it just means Kalros is mighty big. Those things... now they obviously could somehow space travel by themselves, without the need for ships! Or perhaps just their seeds or eggs or whatever. Now that's quite a thing. How could I forget the Rachni, though? They're also from the opposite end of the galaxy, guess the Quarians / Geth aren't so lonely after all then. And the Thorian homeworld, of course! Feros. A species of one still counts for a homeworld. I can just hear renegade Shep remarking "Species of one? Not any more!", lol. Not counting Protheans because obviously a different cycle although, did we actually ever come across their planet in our travels? I don't think we did... hmm. Unless it was Eilos?? Cool stuff to think about! :) Edit: I should watch the rest of the video before commenting, lol! Removed duplicated info, lol.
hey minius i just thought of an idea i dont expect it to be seen but do you think all the young races such as the yahg the minor races in the terminus will be in andromenda or a sophisticated race
The civilizations of Andromeda didn't really have to deal with being wiped out by omnipotent robo-cuddlefish every 50,000 years, plenty of time to form some advanced government who will inevitably go out of their way to annoy us with red tape and air-quotes.
Would that be silly to ask for a lore video on... the Humans? ^^ I think there is much to say about human evolution supervised by the Protheans, how human ancestors made contact with them (I remember finding a huge liquid metal bubble in ME1 while jumping on mountains with our beloved Mako and a story about Neanderthal meeting Protheans), how humanity reacted to the discovery of all this knowledge on Mars. Not even speaking of finding out that there are other species in the galaxy, and not just one or two.
very good video again! One thing though i find odd. i never heard it like this before but when i go back and watch your older Videos i cant unhear it. So i have to ask: do you pronounce your Intro knowingly in a sarcasticly enthusiastic form?
There's a little 'Support this channel' thingy on my TH-cam page. I generally don't like asking for money so I haven't done anything else related to this. Should I?
(ALL DLC) ME1 - 8. ME2 - 9. ME3 - 8.5. Overall though, because in certain aspects, each can surpass the others. ME3 could have been 9+ if it handled 'things' better. I love and obsess over my Mass Effect but I can't 'more objectively' rate any of them a 10. I'm sure Bioware is trying the best they think they can try to make MEA a 10 though. (For Dragon Age I go Origins 9, DA2 7, DAI 8. Or close to those.)
If the Reapers are 1 billion years old and they purge every 50,000 years and they exterminate at least 5 species every time, then there had been at least 100,000 civilizations before the current ones.
cause it's lore as in the ingame history of events. humans becoming a council race happens during the course of the games and isn't a past time event if you get me
what you have to say about the forum shot down ? I saw one video of a mass effect fan saying that bioware is not in good shape, and is on it's way to being shot down or going out of business, because their not making any money.
I'm thinking of answering this in my VidR series. The only thing that the shut down of the forums tells us is that the forums aren't worth maintaining anymore. They're such a small part of what BioWare does overall that it isn't worth worrying about.
I doubt bio ware will be shut down, as much as everyone hates them EA would probably keep them afloat atleast untill andromeda is released so they can make some money, we know EA like making money
There's not much to discuss on a Lore video as all of these are facts, but this series is very great to see and get an overview of the galactic civilization! I really enjoy watching these. Also congrats on the 8K, great to see your channel growing steadily! Wasn't it about two weeks ago when you hit 7K?
Hey Minius, would you consider uploading some ME: Andromeda gameplay footage to this channel once it has been released? It doesn't have to be a let's play, it can be random multiplayer games, lore videos that tie in to the gameplay etc.

for anyone wandering the turian councilors name is sparatus, the salarian councilors name is valern and the asari councilors name is tevos.
I like how you used the Galaxy Map that was cool and very smart
This channel is amazing
keep it up!
I'll do my best :)
You're damn right! It IS! :D
I watch all of Minius GC's videos. :3
That was very nice to see, where all the homeworlds are! If in Milky Way so many racs origin from one corner of the galaxy, imagine how many races there could be in the Cluster we will explore in Andromeda!
I hope there are new sentient races that are peaceful and they are not just like wild animals that attack on sight
These comments didnt age well
Yeah they only gave us 2 races. And removed like 5.
@@pellet1167 did you play the game? Just curious because I want to know if its worth playing

that was a great video man so much info , keep it up man
loved the in-depth explanations good work
Boy am i glad i decided to check your channel now. A new vid just came up :D
Wooo!
Very informative video! The Galaxy Map part was great and I think more visuals like it would be a cool addition.

Anyone tell you your one hell of a looker soldier?
The Hanar Drell system is in the Olyn Protectorate cluster and its closer to the Salarian homeworld cluster.
+Minius GC your videos are great. in fact i've been spending the last two hours watching them.PLEASE make a video on the vorcha, hanar, and on elcor
Yeah do the elcor i know almost nothing about them
I'm planning on covering as much as possible. The videos on the smaller races might have to wait a bit - there's a lot to get to.
ok but please make them
I regret that we never saw more species after the yahg in ME2s DLC.
Hope somehow one of the sleeper species shows up in Andromeda somehow. Like the raloi somehow having someone on the Ark ships.
Really like this series and all your lore videos keep up the great work!
Thanks!

Been a subscriber and fan of this channel before you even had 1,000 subs, I see no reason to stop now. Great work as always Minius.
Thanks for sticking around. Hopefully these videos have been improving :)
So what do the humans add? Awesomeness. They add awesomeness.
Humans fit more with the exploration arm in the council.
but what does the council *do* exaclty?
get disconnected
Needs ... more ... up-votes!
Great outro, Minimouse.
It baffles me when I hear that almost all the races in the game are from on corner of the galaxy. Imagine the possibilities if ever return to the Milky Way.
Perhaps one day the Terminus system will unite and it would be the Citadel systems versus the Terminus. Imagine it like the civil war in Skyrim, and we choose the side.
Yes, with Omega as the citadel of the Terminus.
Lewis Bentley They already violeted her rule.
Terminus System literally obliterated by the Reapers. What's left is that for Citadel to moved in after the war.

we'll use peace and justice for the galaxy
Salarian
well stand and guide the galaxy to a better place
turains
we'll upload peace across the galaxy
humans

i love that outro music
You deserve way more subs
Feel free to tell your friends :)
good one👍. keep it coming.
I thought humans were part of council too....

There's a really good chance that we wont get anything. If we do get something it wont be anytime soon. They appear to be moving on.

There's a chance I'll get into this in a later video. I'll save it till then :)
good as always keep it up
Thanks!
Hey @Minius GC
can you please do some Andromeda videos such as theories if you know any?
thanks brother, love your channel!
Does the Council not have a outpost of any kind of sorts in the Terminus system or something too keep some areas more peacefull their? Just seems weird too me, but as always great video Minius.
Officially they ignore the Terminus Systems entirely. They're really not much of a threat - at least in the lore.
They have no official placement in the Terminus Systems. But practically, they seem to have Illium as a border trading hub, Aria as a contact, and likely various disavowed spies and agents manipulating the region. Its still under a sort of controlled chaos - they just don't want to dig in and mess with it so much that it might unite and be the biggest threat of anything (potentially surpassing Krogan and Rachni).
You should do a video on the Prothean's similarities with the Roman Empire.
Unfortunately we don't know nearly enough about the inner workings of the Prothean Empire to do that video justice.
You could do the turians? Theres probably some lore about their planet before they discovered the mass relay, wars and that sort of thing
Kahje's on that side of the map, definitely. Can't remember the Drell planet's name but it's near Kahje anyway. Sure I seen it during playthroughs. They're both in the Citadel bit I think.

hey minius i just thought of an idea i dont expect it to be seen but do you think all the young races such as the yahg the minor races in the terminus will be in andromenda or a sophisticated race
I'd be surprised. It would probably be much more interesting to have a bunch of new races.
+Minius GC sorry about that spam i thought i only put one comment down + keep it up near that 10k
Don't worry about it. The comment section isn't perfectly responsive :)
Can you do the history of the Systems Alliance and Earth?
This is high on the list.
What if humans first discover the citadel in Mass Effect universe? Will council still exist or humans will seek to dominate military the other races?
LordKvasir imagine warhammer 40k,but with alien sex
Do think we'll have a Council in Andromeda.?. I know the Citadel one wont be tho i did love to argue with them..
Councilor hudina sucked, shame anderson couldn't stay councilor for humans
It will probably be something different, though I'm sure you can find an authority figure to argue with.
The civilizations of Andromeda didn't really have to deal with being wiped out by omnipotent robo-cuddlefish every 50,000 years, plenty of time to form some advanced government who will inevitably go out of their way to annoy us with red tape and air-quotes.
Welfare Crusader Or they already had that advanced government and that government fell and we deal with the aftermath.
Would that be silly to ask for a lore video on... the Humans? ^^
I think there is much to say about human evolution supervised by the Protheans, how human ancestors made contact with them (I remember finding a huge liquid metal bubble in ME1 while jumping on mountains with our beloved Mako and a story about Neanderthal meeting Protheans), how humanity reacted to the discovery of all this knowledge on Mars. Not even speaking of finding out that there are other species in the galaxy, and not just one or two.
There is a human lore video coming :)
Please do a video on the pre-Prothean civilizations
I wish there was more on this. I put what I found in the Reaper Genesis video. th-cam.com/video/2MxaBOz5lYs/w-d-xo.html
Once again, an amazing lore video, btw, you forgot the Collector homeworld ;)
Poor guys! No homeworld, no freewill, no friends.
It is sad when you really think about that though. You just want to give them a hug but then they would probably kill you.
Using both Javik's and collector D.N.A, maybe the protheans, or a hybrid species could come about.
Did you do a lore on Turians? If not do it. I admire them.
The Turians are high on the to do list
very good video again! One thing though i find odd. i never heard it like this before but when i go back and watch your older Videos i cant unhear it. So i have to ask: do you pronounce your Intro knowingly in a sarcasticly enthusiastic form?
I try to genuinely be enthusiastic. I'm honestly not all that happy with my intro.
Minius GC i like it. It has character
More please!! Thx!!!
hey the next lore coud be on the collecters and how the reapers turn the prothean to the collecters
I'm going to get to the collectors but there are some other things I'd like to get to first.
I like your videos :)
Thanks!
is it possible that the asari were "guided" to the citadel first
So a mix of the aims of nato and the un with power of the EU ?
Will you do an Patreon in the future? Or something else like that so that we can support you with money?
There's a little 'Support this channel' thingy on my TH-cam page. I generally don't like asking for money so I haven't done anything else related to this. Should I?
Minius GC If you think this will help you and would help you doing videos and stuff, then yes. Why not?
Out of 10 rate each mass effect game dude
Hmm . . .
ME - 9
ME2 - 10
ME3 - 9 (could have been an 11)
+Minius GC yeah I think ME2 was the best but ME3 could've been so much more
+Brown Bear Entertainment yeah given another year of development could you image 😢
oh yeah! Another year with a bit more time and money Mass Effect 3 could have been the perfect game
(ALL DLC) ME1 - 8. ME2 - 9. ME3 - 8.5. Overall though, because in certain aspects, each can surpass the others. ME3 could have been 9+ if it handled 'things' better. I love and obsess over my Mass Effect but I can't 'more objectively' rate any of them a 10. I'm sure Bioware is trying the best they think they can try to make MEA a 10 though.

Why was there a 33 min ad?
wtf
If the Reapers are 1 billion years old and they purge every 50,000 years and they exterminate at least 5 species every time, then there had been at least 100,000 civilizations before the current ones.
Minius can you become the lead writer of andromeda pleeeease ?Dude your videos are awesome !
That would only work if you want Andromeda to be a string of TH-cam videos. I don't think that would make the fan base very happy :)
What's the hologram stuff at 2:06 I've never seen it
If I remember correctly that's the Citaldel Archives... You can go there on the Citadel DLC for Mass Effect 3...
Ahh thats why. I don't have the Citadel DLC :/
Correct. They've got holograms on a couple of different historical events in the Citadel DLC.
Rakirs
Get your hands on that DLC :D It's the absolute BEST!!!
Does this lore change if you choose wether or not to save the council? Or is it generally the same
Its just the same, saving the council just lets you keep the same councilors from mass effect 1 in mass effect 2 and 3
that only really affects council relations and attitudes towards humans
Plus if you save the Council, you get more war assets in ME3
When is part 3 coming out?
Probably a little more than a week. There are two videos I need to get to first.
Why you didn't mention about the human race becoming a Citadel Conucil race ?
cause it's lore as in the ingame history of events. humans becoming a council race happens during the course of the games and isn't a past time event if you get me
+Chris Spink
Now I get it ! Thanks !
I try to make these videos more about background - specifically before the games took place.
what you have to say about the forum shot down ? I saw one video of a mass effect fan saying that bioware is not in good shape, and is on it's way to being shot down or going out of business, because their not making any money.
is this true ? i bit scared, to see my favorite game being possibly canceled.
He did a video about the forum shutdown
