Yesssss, ever since I found your channel a couple months ago I've absolutely binged through all your DA stuff, and couldn't wait for this exact video. Really looking forward to this adventure.
Glad to have you here for the journey my friend! Dragon Age is so special to me I love them series so much..good news is we will start back up our DAI LP in the near future. Glad you've enjoyed all the content you have seen. We have so much more to come... Can't wait to share and play more Mass Effect!! Only one EP but I'm already having a blast!!
I'm used to the default shepard, but you made a pretty damn good looking custom shepard. Mass Effect is my favorite series of all time. I've never had a game series leave its mark on me like mass effect, and i come back to it often.
Hahaha beyond excited to play! I just couldn't wait to get into Mass Effect. I'm so stoked that they actually made a remaster. ME1 so far looks so darn amazing! And the combat is so silky smooth!
I've watched more than a dozen playthroughs, as well as playing all 4 Mass Effects myself at least once a year, and not even half way through episode 1 I can already tell this is going to be a good one.
Thank you for checking out the series. It was a pleasure to play these games. One of the best ever made I enjoy them all from start to finish. I hope you enjoy these LPs.
Great video. Just want to say I love that you don't always pick just the Paragon or Renegade options. You mix it up. That's great because so many let's plays get boring after a few videos because they just press up or down.
Thank you! I love the choices in this game and being able to pick from the heart. It feels more immersive that we just choose how we feel instead of just pick one side or the other.
You are the Legend Bowskii!! I remember buying the trilogy box set about 8 years ago and playing all 3 in a row on my PS3, lol. It was an awesome journey and I've forgotten so much of it myself. And, playing Andromeda about 2 years ago is what got me back into game after a few years off! It definitely will be a hidden gem once you get to that one. But looking forward to the series!
hahah thank your brother i appreciate the bad ass words your awesome!! And lmao me too its been so long nearly 10 years I played ME1 on the xbox 360 way back in the day I've never played it at all on PC so this shall be very interesting to say the least since I'm not use to doing shooter games. Looking forward to the blind LP of ME2 - 3 and Andromeda when we get to them!!!
Duuuuude. A LP running an adept build. I haven't seen this yet. It's my favorite class so far. Your attitude is infectious. That smile when it started is awesome to see. I'm excited to see someone do it all. I haven't personally seen a 100% LP like I usually do. I'm strapped in for the ride. Commander Atticus Shepard. It has a nice ring to it 👌
my friend thank you for taking the time to check out this series. I absolutely loved these games so much. I did everything I could in every game I think I got every single quest and interaction in all 3 games to the best of my knowledge. It was just one heck of a gaming experience one that I will never forget. I'm actually shocked more people didn't play and Adept it was so much fun all the way through. Mass Effect 2 adept on insanity was tough as hell but I loved it. Hope you enjoy the series Atticus Shepard was awesome I miss him alot and our family on the Normandy.
Ah mass effect, recently got me a legendary edition as well and decided to play along after ridiculous hours spent in the og trilogy. Already can tell it's going to be an adventure and that intro makes me happy after all those years!
hey!! Nice! II hope you enjoy the Mass Effect series! This series was amazing I poured my heart and soul into it and loved every moment of each game. I hope you enjoy the journey.
I have yet to see anyone online playing an adept. I must be watching seven or eight different people play Mass effect right now because I've been on a huge kick lately. None of them are playing at adept so I am very interested in watching this one.
Adepts are amazing so weird how more people don't play them they are space Wizards its so good. ME1 we were really powerful then we go into ME2 and are def a bit weaker due to how the Adept played in ME2 but so far in ME3 I been exploding all the things its so glorious. The Adept has been a great time this whole series so far I'm happy I picked it as my first class. Eight different playthroughs at once good luck with that my friend I could barely keep up with one but I tend to watch everything but than again its eight different prospective of things which is pretty cool.
it truly is bittersweet I would love to just be able to witness it all once more for the first time it was an amazing gaming series I loved every moment of the time we spent in it these last 2 years.
Just a note, Pressly didn't want a skeleton crew per say, he was merely commenting that a skeleton crew makes more sense for highly classified missions, like less chance of a leak.
wow enjoyed the first episode already getting into a story and cant wait to learn more of these Protheans and their technology. also the technical aspect of the game is so different of games I am used playing so you talking about tactics and gear and weapons all that stuff is appreciated, hoping to learn how to play this properly :)
Glad you enjoyed it! I want to take in this whole game and all the others there is so much about ME1 I don't remember it feels like a first playthrough for me aswell. I'm going to keep up on trying to showcase as much as I can so we can all learn this together. It's def alot different from fantasy for sure but it has such a great charm to it. And the story... Gosh I can't wait to see it. The protheans seem so Interesting riiight... A great race just vanish just like that over 50k years ago.. and all the stuff they left behind..
i am finally getting around to playing this game have saved your playlists for all 3 going to watch them all see if you make different decisions than me lol also checked out yer channel love dragon age as well so subbed and pressed the bell hello from Scotland
thank you so much for being here I still cant believe I'm finally able to bring Mass Effect to the channel. Lots more vids to come enjoy and have fun going back reliving in your playthrough. Can't wait to see more!!
I saw that they added an option called "Calibrations" to the options menu and I laughed. Now we finally know what Garrus was calibrating all that time... the lighting and HDR effects of the game!
At long last, here we are!! Atticus looks ridiculously hot. Kaidan looks ridiculously hot. I wonder what kind of adept you are gonna play. A sniper adept sounds fun, and of course the tried and true pistol/smg adept. But if I know you, I'd say you are going into shotgun lol. Try them out, they feel amazing in this remaster. I'm having a blast using shotguns. See what I did there? Shotgun and blast? Anyway, moving on lol. Kaidan did use sabotage only delayed, it happens sometimes, as it did in the original game. Just insist until the squadmete uses whatever power you are ordering them to use. Keep in mind that you need a squadmate with decryption and electronics to be able to unlock things. The higher the level of those skills the harder stuff you'll be able to open. Kaidan, T*** and G*****, have those two abilities so as long as one of them is in the party you are golden. But they do need to max those out ASAP, that was my point. I'm eager to watch the next video already, can't wait. Good to be back, brother, really missed your vids! Keep up the good work!
Glad you are enjoying the LP thus far and love Atticus he is awesome looking and I cant wait to see more of the game with him! Its going to be one awesome ride my friend!! I'm not really sure how I'm going to play it I'm leaning towards either sniper or shotgun though I'm not fully sure I feel I might want to be a range but other parts of me feel like I want to be up close and personnel So yeah I think the issue with Kaiden there was he might have been just at a weird angle and couldn't fire off the sabotage. And most def I'm going to need to def invest in them two abilities for sure I want to open up all chests I don't want to miss a thing. Cant wait to share more I'm already missing Atticus and cant wait to share the next EP!! Lots more to come my friend this will be one epic adventure thanks for being here!!
The only thing that did not cross over to the legendary edition is a station where you fight in an arena type thing. Basically the station DLC thingy got corrupted and they couldn't port it over. They didn't have any backups for it either so once it was corrupted it was no longer able to be added. It's fine to not be there. It didn't really give us any story. It was just a way to rack up extra XP. The game plays fine without it. If I'm honest I never really played it in the original beyond my first time through. I felt it was repetitive and boring. That's just me though. Everyone else might have been upset that they couldn't play it.
Sounds like an ultimate side thing I don't mind really I would have done it if it was in there but since it never ported its totally fine. There were a few recommendations to download the mod that puts it into the game but I never ended up doing it sadly. I'm in Mass Effect 3 ATM about halfway done and I don't think anything has ever came up about this DLC in game.
@@Bowskii yeah I just found out what it was called because the name eluded me. It was called Pinnacle Station. It really just was an XP farm. It was not ported over because of corrupted code.
MAJOR balls doing your first play through on Insanity. And as an Adept too. Adept can be a tough class. And I LOVE how you said you are just gonna go with the flow of the choices and not get locked into 1 side. The absolute BEST way to play this game. Morality gets very gray many times in this series, and locking yourself in without deciding based on the situation leads to a not as great experience. Mass Effect really lets you play how you would act in real life. Finally, I gotta say, when you talked about your devotion to the lore, and just diving in and wanting to learn EVERYTHING, that made me smile. It's hard to find a playthrough by someone who shares my level of dedication to the in game story and lore. I too love to find out absolutely EVERYTHING that can be found out. I want to learn every scrap of lore that exists. Because it is only when you see how deep the story goes, how much the writers dedicated to creating this universe, do you see how truly amazing this series is. Looking forward to watching! One thing that I don't think is in the lore... The Prothean ruins on Mars, in addition to exposing humanity to interstellar technology, also directed them to the Mass Relay that had been sitting dormant in our solar system all this time, unbenowst to humanity. Pluto's well known ice moon Charon? Not a moon. It was a dormant mass relay encased in ice.
Thank you! Honestly I didn't have a tough time in Mass Effect 1 but holy moly we are about finished with Mass Effect 2 ATM and the adept has been so hard in that game. They really made it challenging for sure. It's so much fun though I've had a blast with it. Whenever I first do a LP of a game I always love to try to RP it as if I was in the shoes of the character. I have kept this up all the way through every decision in both games so far and it's been so enjoyable. I did miss some things along the way but it was never too bad and always worth it for the raw feeling of picking as we go.
after finishing the entire witcher catalogue I am so so excited to watch Mr Bowskii play my other favorite franchise of games. I cannot wait to see the choices he makes and what he thinks of all the lore and little details. gonna be an absolute treat. Bowskii is in the middle of ME2 as I write this so i am hyped to catch up and hopefully follow 3 all the way through :)
Thank you for checking out the Mass Effect series. I will be back and uploading here very shortly you may catch us before we get done ME3 but I'm so stoked to get back to recording this series I miss it like crazy! Enjoy the ride Commander!! Thanks again for being here.
The journey begins. I cried like a bi...ch at the end of 3. Literally felt like I left behind my best friends and I'll never see them again. Best sci-fi action-RPG to date. First place game for me ever before I played Witcher 3, now a close second. Damn Witcher, I'm not even a fantasy fan, I'm a strong sci-fi fan and I can't be biased enough to put anything equal to it :)).
Hahaha I'm right there with you! I'm a huge fan of fantasy actually and Mass Effect 1 was the game that made me love space stuff. When I played this game I thought at best it's a alien shooter type game but after beating ME1.. I was so wrong and now I have this new love for rpgs so just these last 2 EPs so far have just been amazing to me to look at this game a different way. And yeah W3 is just something else it sure does paint a pretty picture of what all games should live up to be!
Woah, I didn't realize it was time already! I've been waiting for this LP for some time now. I never got to play any of the ME games, so I was waiting for your playthrough to decide whether to get it or not. So excited for the next episodes!
That's so awesome really great your watching this for the first time. It's going to be an awesome experience for us both there is so much I don't remember about ME1 it's gonna be like the first time!! Can't wait to see ME2 - 3 that will be blind for me so we are in the same boat there. Hope you enjoy the series so much more to come and I aswell cannot wait to share more EPs. I'm so very stoked to be doing this!!! I still can't believe it's that time finally for Mass Effect on the channel!!!
yessss I am so glad you are starting this playthrough! I'm gonna be honest I tried playing ME games in the past, never got into it. maybe it was wrong moment. I'm more medieval fantasy fan. I was just never the futuristic shooter type fan so it didn't hold my interest but last two years this channel really made me fall in love with Bioware and renewed interest and I will definitely watch it here to see what it's about and give them another go. also... big hi and props to your little girl, she chose a class that sounds most interesting to me!!!! :) like I said I cant compare to original game, so I cant tell how much better this remaster looks, but seeing this is originally 2007 game this looks amazing!!
that is so awesome to hear honestly it really makes my day that so many people so far havent played these games and are deciding to watch for the first time with my LP its really awesome to me!! The best thing I can say about Mass Effect 1 is that its epic in scale for a older game and one epic story the characters are so unforgettable. I know Mass Effect 1 will have minor slow points in the beginning but its really just world building for the gamers which is so necessary. Haha my little girl picked my fav class from what I can remember in ME1..I'm so happy it was picked...though the Vanguard was almost picked lol that would have been epic too. So 2007 feels like yesterday but yeah this game has come along way since the last time I have seen it. I want to say it was very dated with looks but honestly I cant fully remember its just been so long. Again glad to have you here enjoy Mass Effect with your love for bioware games you wont be disappointed in the least!
@MMaya Definitely give this game a shot! It is very fun to play, the combat really is not that difficult (on normal difficulty), if you are worried about it being a "shooter". There are so many different ways to play, with the different classes. So you can pick the style that fits you the best. And the stories and characters are what makes the game of course! I'm sure you would have a blast playing!
I am not into shooting games either but I have only played the Mass Effect trilogy and both the RDR2 games. I would never play other shooting games that are out there. I prefer medieval fantasy games as well but only certain ones that interest me. Dragon's Dogma and Skyrim are two of my favorite games.
Heck yes my friend locked in and ready to roll!!! cant wait to share more its going to be one awesome experience!! and me aswell I'm really looking forward to S2 of TWD that LP isn't to far off :)
47:22 You MONSTER! They were harmless! Jenkins would have told you that if you'd taken a few more steps without shooting. The horror! Atticus Shepard *PURE* Renegade confirmed!! 50:11 When I first played I thought that "He deserves a burial." was implying that we should stop what we're doing, dig a hole, and bury him XD
Hahaha omg 😂 I really missed dialogue with Jenkins here damn. I knew we shouldn't have had target practice lol Atticus took control here had a mind of his own lmao 🤣. And honestly I was thinking the same. Shep pulls out the E-tool and starts digging...or maybe they would evac Jenkins body some how.
Great lp from a great guy. Waiting to see your choices through the game. I was having doubts in buying it,but I'll definitely get it. Great video as always Bowskii, keep it up!
you and me both my friend I been looking forward to bringing this to the channel for a few years now I'm so happy its finally here!!! And no worries if you like the name and character enjoy! its a awesome name it goes so well with Shepard!! Atticus Shepard I love it!!!
aah yes finally! I've never played Mass Effect but from what I have seen it resembles "The Expanse" a lot. Just the universe and the ship and the crew! I love scifi and i love stories with a ship and crew. I think you should check out Cowboy Bebop. It's about bounty hunters in space on a ship called the Bebop. Anyways, hella excited for this one!
That's so awesome thank you for being here and watching this for the first time!! Mass Effect 1 is a wonderful game I'm glad that I don't remember much because it gives me a chance to relive it like the first time again!! As far as ME 2- 3 goes I'm going in blind for them aswell gonna be a great experience. If you love the Expanse you will love this! I too am a huge fan of the Expanse its my Fav show on TV cant wait for season 6. I've never seen Bebop but I'm def open to check it out!
@@Bowskii looking forward to it! The Expanse is definitely my favourite space opera to the point where I've also picked up the books all I need is time haha. Bebop is interesting. It's not quite as epic as the expanse it tells more human stories in a sci fi setting. I love the crew of Bebop just some ragtags who don't really work very well together just trying to survive another day in space. If you like that sort of thing I think you will enjoy it.
ill def check it out I watch my fair share of anime it was def on my list of wanting to check out for so long lol. I love me anything that has stuff in space. Might sound so odd but I have never fully seen the stars wars movies lol blasphemy I know I'm working on that now actually only 100 years later it seems lmao..
haha believe it or not I too got into star wars couple years ago. I remember watching one of the films on tv as a kid but that's it. I'm glad I got to watch it now because I can appreciate the original trilogy a lot more. it's an absolute blast to watch. The prequels and the sequels are fine imo.
yeah I cant wait to finish them soon and maybe one of these days I will put the KOTOR game on the channel I've heard so much about it but I need to see the movies first to get into the mod of the game fully. I know its not connected but the movies will get me in the mood.
I would have chose the same. Spacer/War Hero. It just feels like the right choice. The adept choice will make for an odd soldier but hey, lets see what happens. I like the way infiltrator sounds. I knew Jenkins was a goner as soon as he started talking on the ship, hes a Dummy. But you don't need him with Ashley coming aboard! One shot one kill! Go get em battle! Side note....Atticus needs a better barber, his hairline is goofy asf 😂😂
I feel like Spacer and warhero was a great choice it feels like it flows really well with Shepards history. Adept is a lot of fun it's interesting because it gives us biotic/force powers which is so cool. The infiltrator sounds so sick as well. Leroyyyyy Jenkins lmao 🤣😂 he was the red shirt guy for sure. And Atticus must cut his own hair with a rusty butter knife 😂.
I've never played this game before, so I was looking forward to this trilogy on the channel. Unfortunately I know almost nothing about the universe of this game. I only know the memes from andromeda😂🤣.
Enjoy my friend mass effect 1 is amazing I haven't played ME 2 and 3. Gonna be a awesome journey from start to finish. Packed full of lore and wonderful characters can't wait to experience it all finally.
Looks like we're starting already. You don't seem to remember as much as I thought you would which is a good things. It's definitely gonna be more blind. Btw you can indeed put your squadmate's power in the quick slots just not Jenkins cause he was gonna die in like 2 minutes. I wasn't sure about getting legendary edition since I was currently playing the original ME3 but I found out that old ME2 and ME3 save files are unofficially compatible. I had to get it then and it worked with my save file perfectly. I think the changes they have made are absolutely amazing. Looking forward to the next one!
lol I just couldn't wait I wanted to jump in and get started I'm so freaking happy that they made a remaster!! I'll have to check back and see about putting Kaidens powers up top again poor Leroy Jenkins he lasted all of 2 mins poor fella.. And yeah I really don't remember a lot its been close to ten years I'm more knowledgeable about Dragon Age at this point. Though I'm really happy I don't remember much about ME1 because I'm looking forward into these blind feelings again!! Awesome you got your saves in order though if not you would have to re live it all again from the start and that's a wonderful thing lmao but I def get it to have it all and ready to import so you can use your first playthrough. Enjoy the LP my friend its going to be a awesome journey from start to finish i just still cant believe im finally playing Mass Effect 1 again!!!! so great!!
I need to borrow your daughter for a few minutes the next time I do a Mass Effect playthrough so she can randomly pick my whole character arc for me, lol. I actually love having that stuff randomized because I never self-insert so I can play essentially any character. Ahhh, you made a fine looking custom M!Shep, good! Custom males can be challenging to make in this game where they don't end up like Neanderthals. How does it feel to be back in it?
lol she would love to keep playing the game of picking things out a bowl lol she had a blast doing it! Glad you like the character I'm a big fan of him it feels really right for some reason with the voice and the face match up. I cant wait to play and share more I'm just so happy its finally here and on the channel I've been wanting to play Mass Effect for so many years now!!
I'm obviously late to the party, but to comment on something you said. I've seen many people over the years advocate for going either full Paragon or full Renegade. And I completely disagree. Mass Effect has many situations that are not black or white, but shades of gray. And I find it far more interesting to see a player do what they think they would do as Shepard in each situation, and then hearing their reasons why, instead of "I'm just gonna pick the Paragon choice every time." And contrary to what many people think, I am of the strong opinion that the Paragon/Renegade system is *not* "Good or Evil", "Good Guy vs Bad Guy" lol. It just depends on each situation. Sometimes being Paragon is being diplomatic and altruistic. Other times it's acting like a naive idealistic goody two-shoes, and can get people killed. Sometimes Renegade is being a no-nonsense pragmatic badass with a spine who gets things done. Other times it's being unnecessarily harsh and a jerk, and can get people killed. The way the persuasion system worked in ME2/3 did penalize you to a certain extent if you played too much down the middle, but it's my understanding that it has been rebalanced. I've always played as a "Paragade" which is mostly Paragon but also about 1/3 Renegade, and in the originals there were only ever 2-3 choices where I couldn't use a persuasion option, but lucky for me, they were options where I didn't want to use persuade anyway lol.
I find this paragon and renegade options so interesting I see alot of fun and potential with it but just as you said and with the way I want to play this I want to just pick from the heart. I really do hope we don't get screwed so much for really just wanting to RP as we would if we were in Shepard's shoes. I do hope it does get balanced well in the next games. So far being I'm a little ahead of this vid and I haven't had much of a problem with any of it which is a super relief. For some reason this system scares me though 😂... It would be rough to miss stuff but honestly I think I'm gonna try to stay true to my RP of Atticus over picking a side. And I agree so far the paragon and renegade doesn't feel like good guy bad guy. I love seeing Shepard do both.
@@Bowskii In ME1 it's all mostly about just putting points into Charm or Intimidate, and getting enough points to unlock ranks in them. In ME2/3 it works very differently. I just wanted to say that while I can't guarantee that you'll be able to pass every single persuasion check throughout the trilogy, I went 100% into prioritizing Role-Playing, and I only had 2-3 instances across the trilogy where I didn't pass a check. So it is possible. I think you'd only be "in trouble" if you went out of your way to be as neutral as possible throughout the entire experience, which is a very unlikely scenario lol. I don't know if you've been to Noveria yet, but if you do just want some extra peace of mind, there's a well-known and used exploit with an NPC there (that still works in the remaster) where you can max out your Paragon and Renegade meters as long as you have at least 5 points each in Charm and Intimidate when you do their quest. Normally I don't do things like that. But it just gives you such a *HUGE* persuasion boost when importing into ME2, and I wanted to ensure that I had as many RP options available to me as possible lol. So it's something to at least consider.
@@Bowskii Also props on making a custom, personalized Shepard lol. One of my favorite Mass Effect fan art pieces is a picture of Shepard walking down a corridor that has mirrors on each wall (so it had the infinity reflection effect). But in each one it was Shepards of different genders, races, hairstyles, armor, etc. showing how we can all have our own "Shepard" =D Also I don't know if you keep notes or not, but I wouldn't bother trying to read the opening text scroll in ME2 out loud, just fyi. It goes by and disappears super fast. I've never seen anyone make it, even reading as fast as they can XD You've also probably already figured this out by now, but in the dialogue wheel, upper-right is "Paragon", lower-right is "Renegade", and middle is neutral, which also speeds the conversation along faster and usually has less dialogue. It's of note because many times people will pick an option and have a "No! That's not what I meant!" reaction to what Shepard actually says XD
thank you! I always like to make a custom character in game I love it when games give you that chance. Because it makes the character feel more personal you get more immersed into the game with that. That fan art sounds so awesome! Really great that this game has either a man or female! as the man main character its awesome and alot of replayability. Haha I thought ME1 opening scene was really hard to read cant imagine how it would be if there is one that is faster... rekted! I been getting the hang of the wheel a bit. It sure is interesting and pretty unique but I feel I really need to read what we can say before we actually say it so I don't come off saying the wrong thing or get that feeling of well that's not what I meant to say. I love having the 3 choices but because of the system with the top or bottom its always scary so far to press the middle but I feel like I've held my ground in RPing it more then going with a side. And that's pretty wild that they actually have a bug that can max out your charm and intimidate wow lol. Honestly though its been a good 8 plus years since I played this.. it was on the Xbox 360 lol but seriously this almost feels like the first time again. There is just so much I don't know about this game or just haven't seen it yet. The most thing I remember is that I really loved all the companions a lot I thought they made a really strong cast here. And I'm really looking forward to it actually being fully blind in ME2-3 its going to be a great journey. Starting with this game and ending in 3 I really been wanting to play a game that imports like this. I mean I been playing the Witcher but I feel like these games might import a bit more when it comes to choices and such and I'm really looking forward to that!
@@Bowskii Yeah Mass Effect was the game that took the concept of importing choices and consequences to a whole new level lol. I pre-ordered the crap out of the Collector's Editions for the 360 versions. Still have them sitting on my top shelf. The Witcher 3 is also up there with them haha. I completely agree that personalizing your character really adds to the immersion. I love that the very first dialogue in the game (when Anderson, Hacket, and Udina are discussing Shepard) is reactionary to the background choices that you make.
Really amazing game thus far I can't wait to see the other ones as well. I'll do the original trilogy first then give MEA a go. Really looking forward to it all. Especially getting to ME2-3 for the first time finally lol 🤣
@@Bowskii It's good to like diving into all the lore and getting to know the story and characters, you will definitely get attached to characters and care about them just like the Witcher.
You just couldn't help yourself, brother! HAHA I first stumbled on your channel because of your ME1 run years ago. It's crazy how much you've developed. You were already communicative, but you're a lot more free-flowing... I don't know man... Maybe it's the webcam addition? You've been playing a lot of games I can't follow along with, but I'm here for the ride, buddy! :) THRUSTERS CHECK. ALL SYSTEMS ONLINE! GO GO GO!
Haha I definitely couldn't help myself I needed Mass Effect right now 🤣. And so awesome to have you here for the ride. I remember the first attempt at ME1 that LP was really fun, though I'm glad I didn't finish it I think it was like 10 vids in lol but glad I didn't finish because I'd probably have skipped legendary edition for a LP. And just did the older versions probably. Just glad I can do it now and really looking forward to seeing 2 and 3 since they are blind for me. And goodness we are getting old huh lol I remember that time we both were pretty new had about maybe 200 subs each or so. We both have definitely come a long way wow. Not sure what it is maybe more comfortable now a days but I just hit the record and talk and talk and talk lol 🤣 I might talk to much hahaha. Again so awesome to have you here brother. Glad it's a game that's finally not in the spoiler zone. I'm so excited to play ME1 again when I get outside the first half of ME 1 it's going to feel so new. And then ME2-3 are blind and I just cannot wait to see it all!!!
Jenkins: Nihlus? You're dying with me?
Niihluss: I die faster on my own
lol rip but true
42:30 "There you go, Jenkins, you gonna whoop someone's ass" - famous last words haha
LMAO little did we know.
Yesssss, ever since I found your channel a couple months ago I've absolutely binged through all your DA stuff, and couldn't wait for this exact video.
Really looking forward to this adventure.
Glad to have you here for the journey my friend! Dragon Age is so special to me I love them series so much..good news is we will start back up our DAI LP in the near future.
Glad you've enjoyed all the content you have seen. We have so much more to come... Can't wait to share and play more Mass Effect!! Only one EP but I'm already having a blast!!
I'm used to the default shepard, but you made a pretty damn good looking custom shepard. Mass Effect is my favorite series of all time. I've never had a game series leave its mark on me like mass effect, and i come back to it often.
Glad your liking Atticus! I love creating characters I always get so much more immersed into them. Enjoy the LP my friend.
The funny thing is in ME1 adepts are reffered to as "biotic gods" because of how crazy broken this class is in the first game.
yeah they were pretty beastly back then. I felt like ME2 Adept so far was the weakest of the bunch but I feel like a biotic god in Mass 3 as well lol
I love the smile on your face when you started this game. I know how much you were excited about this series. Enjoy my friend
Hahaha beyond excited to play! I just couldn't wait to get into Mass Effect. I'm so stoked that they actually made a remaster. ME1 so far looks so darn amazing! And the combat is so silky smooth!
I've watched more than a dozen playthroughs, as well as playing all 4 Mass Effects myself at least once a year, and not even half way through episode 1 I can already tell this is going to be a good one.
Thank you for checking out the series. It was a pleasure to play these games. One of the best ever made I enjoy them all from start to finish. I hope you enjoy these LPs.
Pretty sick reading the opening paragraph in time with no warning😂
I swear it was such a challenge to even read them all in each game lmao
Great video. Just want to say I love that you don't always pick just the Paragon or Renegade options. You mix it up. That's great because so many let's plays get boring after a few videos because they just press up or down.
Thank you! I love the choices in this game and being able to pick from the heart. It feels more immersive that we just choose how we feel instead of just pick one side or the other.
You are the Legend Bowskii!! I remember buying the trilogy box set about 8 years ago and playing all 3 in a row on my PS3, lol. It was an awesome journey and I've forgotten so much of it myself. And, playing Andromeda about 2 years ago is what got me back into game after a few years off! It definitely will be a hidden gem once you get to that one. But looking forward to the series!
hahah thank your brother i appreciate the bad ass words your awesome!! And lmao me too its been so long nearly 10 years I played ME1 on the xbox 360 way back in the day I've never played it at all on PC so this shall be very interesting to say the least since I'm not use to doing shooter games. Looking forward to the blind LP of ME2 - 3 and Andromeda when we get to them!!!
Duuuuude. A LP running an adept build. I haven't seen this yet. It's my favorite class so far. Your attitude is infectious. That smile when it started is awesome to see. I'm excited to see someone do it all. I haven't personally seen a 100% LP like I usually do. I'm strapped in for the ride. Commander Atticus Shepard. It has a nice ring to it 👌
my friend thank you for taking the time to check out this series. I absolutely loved these games so much. I did everything I could in every game I think I got every single quest and interaction in all 3 games to the best of my knowledge. It was just one heck of a gaming experience one that I will never forget.
I'm actually shocked more people didn't play and Adept it was so much fun all the way through. Mass Effect 2 adept on insanity was tough as hell but I loved it.
Hope you enjoy the series Atticus Shepard was awesome I miss him alot and our family on the Normandy.
Ah mass effect, recently got me a legendary edition as well and decided to play along after ridiculous hours spent in the og trilogy. Already can tell it's going to be an adventure and that intro makes me happy after all those years!
hey!! Nice! II hope you enjoy the Mass Effect series! This series was amazing I poured my heart and soul into it and loved every moment of each game. I hope you enjoy the journey.
@@Bowskii I'm sure I will, already having a great time! Thanks for the uploads!
I have yet to see anyone online playing an adept. I must be watching seven or eight different people play Mass effect right now because I've been on a huge kick lately. None of them are playing at adept so I am very interested in watching this one.
Adepts are amazing so weird how more people don't play them they are space Wizards its so good. ME1 we were really powerful then we go into ME2 and are def a bit weaker due to how the Adept played in ME2 but so far in ME3 I been exploding all the things its so glorious. The Adept has been a great time this whole series so far I'm happy I picked it as my first class.
Eight different playthroughs at once good luck with that my friend I could barely keep up with one but I tend to watch everything but than again its eight different prospective of things which is pretty cool.
So the journey comes to an end, bittersweet to say the least.
it truly is bittersweet I would love to just be able to witness it all once more for the first time it was an amazing gaming series I loved every moment of the time we spent in it these last 2 years.
Just a note, Pressly didn't want a skeleton crew per say, he was merely commenting that a skeleton crew makes more sense for highly classified missions, like less chance of a leak.
Pressly just wanted to do what was right for the crew I totally understand him.
wow enjoyed the first episode already getting into a story and cant wait to learn more of these Protheans and their technology. also the technical aspect of the game is so different of games I am used playing so you talking about tactics and gear and weapons all that stuff is appreciated, hoping to learn how to play this properly :)
Glad you enjoyed it! I want to take in this whole game and all the others there is so much about ME1 I don't remember it feels like a first playthrough for me aswell. I'm going to keep up on trying to showcase as much as I can so we can all learn this together.
It's def alot different from fantasy for sure but it has such a great charm to it. And the story... Gosh I can't wait to see it. The protheans seem so Interesting riiight... A great race just vanish just like that over 50k years ago.. and all the stuff they left behind..
i am finally getting around to playing this game have saved your playlists for all 3 going to watch them all see if you make different decisions than me lol also checked out yer channel love dragon age as well so subbed and pressed the bell hello from Scotland
thank you for saving the series and checking it out! I hope you enjoy it all. Mass Effect series was amazing I loved it from start to finish!
Yes!! Sooo glad that you have this started. I am binge watching right now :)
Legendary!!!! :) It's been so awesome so far! I'm having such a blast so far. Have fun and enjoy my friend!!
@@Bowskii I am really impressed with the new ME1 look. Much crisper!
I agree it looks awesome they did a really amazing job!
I’m so sooo excited to watch you play as I play myself! These are my favourite games of all time ❤️ Garrus is my space husband 🤗😆
thank you so much for being here I still cant believe I'm finally able to bring Mass Effect to the channel. Lots more vids to come enjoy and have fun going back reliving in your playthrough. Can't wait to see more!!
I saw that they added an option called "Calibrations" to the options menu and I laughed. Now we finally know what Garrus was calibrating all that time... the lighting and HDR effects of the game!
At long last, here we are!! Atticus looks ridiculously hot. Kaidan looks ridiculously hot. I wonder what kind of adept you are gonna play. A sniper adept sounds fun, and of course the tried and true pistol/smg adept. But if I know you, I'd say you are going into shotgun lol. Try them out, they feel amazing in this remaster. I'm having a blast using shotguns. See what I did there? Shotgun and blast? Anyway, moving on lol. Kaidan did use sabotage only delayed, it happens sometimes, as it did in the original game. Just insist until the squadmete uses whatever power you are ordering them to use. Keep in mind that you need a squadmate with decryption and electronics to be able to unlock things. The higher the level of those skills the harder stuff you'll be able to open. Kaidan, T*** and G*****, have those two abilities so as long as one of them is in the party you are golden. But they do need to max those out ASAP, that was my point. I'm eager to watch the next video already, can't wait. Good to be back, brother, really missed your vids! Keep up the good work!
Glad you are enjoying the LP thus far and love Atticus he is awesome looking and I cant wait to see more of the game with him! Its going to be one awesome ride my friend!!
I'm not really sure how I'm going to play it I'm leaning towards either sniper or shotgun though I'm not fully sure I feel I might want to be a range but other parts of me feel like I want to be up close and personnel
So yeah I think the issue with Kaiden there was he might have been just at a weird angle and couldn't fire off the sabotage. And most def I'm going to need to def invest in them two abilities for sure I want to open up all chests I don't want to miss a thing.
Cant wait to share more I'm already missing Atticus and cant wait to share the next EP!! Lots more to come my friend this will be one epic adventure thanks for being here!!
The only thing that did not cross over to the legendary edition is a station where you fight in an arena type thing. Basically the station DLC thingy got corrupted and they couldn't port it over. They didn't have any backups for it either so once it was corrupted it was no longer able to be added. It's fine to not be there. It didn't really give us any story. It was just a way to rack up extra XP. The game plays fine without it. If I'm honest I never really played it in the original beyond my first time through. I felt it was repetitive and boring. That's just me though. Everyone else might have been upset that they couldn't play it.
Sounds like an ultimate side thing I don't mind really I would have done it if it was in there but since it never ported its totally fine. There were a few recommendations to download the mod that puts it into the game but I never ended up doing it sadly. I'm in Mass Effect 3 ATM about halfway done and I don't think anything has ever came up about this DLC in game.
@@Bowskii yeah I just found out what it was called because the name eluded me. It was called Pinnacle Station. It really just was an XP farm. It was not ported over because of corrupted code.
MAJOR balls doing your first play through on Insanity. And as an Adept too. Adept can be a tough class.
And I LOVE how you said you are just gonna go with the flow of the choices and not get locked into 1 side.
The absolute BEST way to play this game. Morality gets very gray many times in this series, and locking yourself in without deciding based on the situation leads to a not as great experience. Mass Effect really lets you play how you would act in real life.
Finally, I gotta say, when you talked about your devotion to the lore, and just diving in and wanting to learn EVERYTHING, that made me smile. It's hard to find a playthrough by someone who shares my level of dedication to the in game story and lore. I too love to find out absolutely EVERYTHING that can be found out. I want to learn every scrap of lore that exists. Because it is only when you see how deep the story goes, how much the writers dedicated to creating this universe, do you see how truly amazing this series is.
Looking forward to watching!
One thing that I don't think is in the lore...
The Prothean ruins on Mars, in addition to exposing humanity to interstellar technology, also directed them to the Mass Relay that had been sitting dormant in our solar system all this time, unbenowst to humanity.
Pluto's well known ice moon Charon?
Not a moon.
It was a dormant mass relay encased in ice.
Thank you! Honestly I didn't have a tough time in Mass Effect 1 but holy moly we are about finished with Mass Effect 2 ATM and the adept has been so hard in that game. They really made it challenging for sure. It's so much fun though I've had a blast with it.
Whenever I first do a LP of a game I always love to try to RP it as if I was in the shoes of the character. I have kept this up all the way through every decision in both games so far and it's been so enjoyable. I did miss some things along the way but it was never too bad and always worth it for the raw feeling of picking as we go.
Man I love Mass Effect
Glad your loving Mass Effect that's awesome! This is gonna be one epic journey from start to finish! Can't wait to share more.
@@Bowskii hope you will romance same character I did ;)
hahah we shall see :) romances are def some of the harder choices in bioware games lol
after finishing the entire witcher catalogue I am so so excited to watch Mr Bowskii play my other favorite franchise of games. I cannot wait to see the choices he makes and what he thinks of all the lore and little details. gonna be an absolute treat. Bowskii is in the middle of ME2 as I write this so i am hyped to catch up and hopefully follow 3 all the way through :)
Thank you for checking out the Mass Effect series. I will be back and uploading here very shortly you may catch us before we get done ME3 but I'm so stoked to get back to recording this series I miss it like crazy! Enjoy the ride Commander!! Thanks again for being here.
The journey begins. I cried like a bi...ch at the end of 3. Literally felt like I left behind my best friends and I'll never see them again. Best sci-fi action-RPG to date. First place game for me ever before I played Witcher 3, now a close second. Damn Witcher, I'm not even a fantasy fan, I'm a strong sci-fi fan and I can't be biased enough to put anything equal to it :)).
Hahaha I'm right there with you!
I'm a huge fan of fantasy actually and Mass Effect 1 was the game that made me love space stuff. When I played this game I thought at best it's a alien shooter type game but after beating ME1.. I was so wrong and now I have this new love for rpgs so just these last 2 EPs so far have just been amazing to me to look at this game a different way.
And yeah W3 is just something else it sure does paint a pretty picture of what all games should live up to be!
Woah, I didn't realize it was time already! I've been waiting for this LP for some time now. I never got to play any of the ME games, so I was waiting for your playthrough to decide whether to get it or not. So excited for the next episodes!
That's so awesome really great your watching this for the first time. It's going to be an awesome experience for us both there is so much I don't remember about ME1 it's gonna be like the first time!! Can't wait to see ME2 - 3 that will be blind for me so we are in the same boat there.
Hope you enjoy the series so much more to come and I aswell cannot wait to share more EPs. I'm so very stoked to be doing this!!! I still can't believe it's that time finally for Mass Effect on the channel!!!
Ah yes finally lets go for this playthrough looking forward to it for more....
Heck yes!! Here we go on this epic adventure!! Lots more to come my friend! Can't wait to dive into the game more.
yessss I am so glad you are starting this playthrough! I'm gonna be honest I tried playing ME games in the past, never got into it. maybe it was wrong moment. I'm more medieval fantasy fan. I was just never the futuristic shooter type fan so it didn't hold my interest but last two years this channel really made me fall in love with Bioware and renewed interest and I will definitely watch it here to see what it's about and give them another go. also... big hi and props to your little girl, she chose a class that sounds most interesting to me!!!! :) like I said I cant compare to original game, so I cant tell how much better this remaster looks, but seeing this is originally 2007 game this looks amazing!!
that is so awesome to hear honestly it really makes my day that so many people so far havent played these games and are deciding to watch for the first time with my LP its really awesome to me!! The best thing I can say about Mass Effect 1 is that its epic in scale for a older game and one epic story the characters are so unforgettable. I know Mass Effect 1 will have minor slow points in the beginning but its really just world building for the gamers which is so necessary.
Haha my little girl picked my fav class from what I can remember in ME1..I'm so happy it was picked...though the Vanguard was almost picked lol that would have been epic too.
So 2007 feels like yesterday but yeah this game has come along way since the last time I have seen it. I want to say it was very dated with looks but honestly I cant fully remember its just been so long.
Again glad to have you here enjoy Mass Effect with your love for bioware games you wont be disappointed in the least!
@MMaya Definitely give this game a shot! It is very fun to play, the combat really is not that difficult (on normal difficulty), if you are worried about it being a "shooter". There are so many different ways to play, with the different classes. So you can pick the style that fits you the best. And the stories and characters are what makes the game of course! I'm sure you would have a blast playing!
@@derrickschlangen616 I will I am buying legendary edition next week :)
@@mayaamis Awesome!
I am not into shooting games either but I have only played the Mass Effect trilogy and both the RDR2 games. I would never play other shooting games that are out there. I prefer medieval fantasy games as well but only certain ones that interest me. Dragon's Dogma and Skyrim are two of my favorite games.
I’m locked in brooooo great game. Can’t wait to see season 2 of TWD
Heck yes my friend locked in and ready to roll!!! cant wait to share more its going to be one awesome experience!! and me aswell I'm really looking forward to S2 of TWD that LP isn't to far off :)
47:22 You MONSTER! They were harmless! Jenkins would have told you that if you'd taken a few more steps without shooting. The horror! Atticus Shepard *PURE* Renegade confirmed!!
50:11 When I first played I thought that "He deserves a burial." was implying that we should stop what we're doing, dig a hole, and bury him XD
Hahaha omg 😂 I really missed dialogue with Jenkins here damn. I knew we shouldn't have had target practice lol Atticus took control here had a mind of his own lmao 🤣.
And honestly I was thinking the same. Shep pulls out the E-tool and starts digging...or maybe they would evac Jenkins body some how.
Great lp from a great guy. Waiting to see your choices through the game. I was having doubts in buying it,but I'll definitely get it. Great video as always Bowskii, keep it up!
Thank you very much I really appreciate the kind words my friend. Hope you enjoy the LP I'm so excited to finally bring Mass Effect to the channel!!
So been looking forward to this lets play. Love tge name might have 9to borrow it for some games if you dont mind lol
you and me both my friend I been looking forward to bringing this to the channel for a few years now I'm so happy its finally here!!! And no worries if you like the name and character enjoy! its a awesome name it goes so well with Shepard!! Atticus Shepard I love it!!!
First TH-cam playthrough I've seen someone get through the whole opening text before it disappeared lol
lmao that text was crazy fast I'm glad I even got a chance to read some of it the way it went
aah yes finally! I've never played Mass Effect but from what I have seen it resembles "The Expanse" a lot. Just the universe and the ship and the crew! I love scifi and i love stories with a ship and crew. I think you should check out Cowboy Bebop. It's about bounty hunters in space on a ship called the Bebop. Anyways, hella excited for this one!
That's so awesome thank you for being here and watching this for the first time!! Mass Effect 1 is a wonderful game I'm glad that I don't remember much because it gives me a chance to relive it like the first time again!! As far as ME 2- 3 goes I'm going in blind for them aswell gonna be a great experience.
If you love the Expanse you will love this! I too am a huge fan of the Expanse its my Fav show on TV cant wait for season 6. I've never seen Bebop but I'm def open to check it out!
@@Bowskii looking forward to it! The Expanse is definitely my favourite space opera to the point where I've also picked up the books all I need is time haha. Bebop is interesting. It's not quite as epic as the expanse it tells more human stories in a sci fi setting. I love the crew of Bebop just some ragtags who don't really work very well together just trying to survive another day in space. If you like that sort of thing I think you will enjoy it.
ill def check it out I watch my fair share of anime it was def on my list of wanting to check out for so long lol. I love me anything that has stuff in space. Might sound so odd but I have never fully seen the stars wars movies lol blasphemy I know I'm working on that now actually only 100 years later it seems lmao..
haha believe it or not I too got into star wars couple years ago. I remember watching one of the films on tv as a kid but that's it. I'm glad I got to watch it now because I can appreciate the original trilogy a lot more. it's an absolute blast to watch. The prequels and the sequels are fine imo.
yeah I cant wait to finish them soon and maybe one of these days I will put the KOTOR game on the channel I've heard so much about it but I need to see the movies first to get into the mod of the game fully. I know its not connected but the movies will get me in the mood.
I would have chose the same. Spacer/War Hero. It just feels like the right choice. The adept choice will make for an odd soldier but hey, lets see what happens. I like the way infiltrator sounds. I knew Jenkins was a goner as soon as he started talking on the ship, hes a Dummy. But you don't need him with Ashley coming aboard! One shot one kill! Go get em battle!
Side note....Atticus needs a better barber, his hairline is goofy asf 😂😂
I feel like Spacer and warhero was a great choice it feels like it flows really well with Shepards history. Adept is a lot of fun it's interesting because it gives us biotic/force powers which is so cool. The infiltrator sounds so sick as well.
Leroyyyyy Jenkins lmao 🤣😂 he was the red shirt guy for sure.
And Atticus must cut his own hair with a rusty butter knife 😂.
I've never played this game before, so I was looking forward to this trilogy on the channel.
Unfortunately I know almost nothing about the universe of this game. I only know the memes from andromeda😂🤣.
Enjoy my friend mass effect 1 is amazing I haven't played ME 2 and 3. Gonna be a awesome journey from start to finish. Packed full of lore and wonderful characters can't wait to experience it all finally.
Looks like we're starting already. You don't seem to remember as much as I thought you would which is a good things. It's definitely gonna be more blind. Btw you can indeed put your squadmate's power in the quick slots just not Jenkins cause he was gonna die in like 2 minutes. I wasn't sure about getting legendary edition since I was currently playing the original ME3 but I found out that old ME2 and ME3 save files are unofficially compatible. I had to get it then and it worked with my save file perfectly. I think the changes they have made are absolutely amazing. Looking forward to the next one!
lol I just couldn't wait I wanted to jump in and get started I'm so freaking happy that they made a remaster!! I'll have to check back and see about putting Kaidens powers up top again poor Leroy Jenkins he lasted all of 2 mins poor fella.. And yeah I really don't remember a lot its been close to ten years I'm more knowledgeable about Dragon Age at this point. Though I'm really happy I don't remember much about ME1 because I'm looking forward into these blind feelings again!!
Awesome you got your saves in order though if not you would have to re live it all again from the start and that's a wonderful thing lmao but I def get it to have it all and ready to import so you can use your first playthrough.
Enjoy the LP my friend its going to be a awesome journey from start to finish i just still cant believe im finally playing Mass Effect 1 again!!!! so great!!
I need to borrow your daughter for a few minutes the next time I do a Mass Effect playthrough so she can randomly pick my whole character arc for me, lol. I actually love having that stuff randomized because I never self-insert so I can play essentially any character.
Ahhh, you made a fine looking custom M!Shep, good! Custom males can be challenging to make in this game where they don't end up like Neanderthals.
How does it feel to be back in it?
lol she would love to keep playing the game of picking things out a bowl lol she had a blast doing it! Glad you like the character I'm a big fan of him it feels really right for some reason with the voice and the face match up. I cant wait to play and share more I'm just so happy its finally here and on the channel I've been wanting to play Mass Effect for so many years now!!
Always kinda bummed that you couldn't romance Chakwas. Has this Dr. Crusher from Star Trek TNG thing going on.
a Dr patient romance. I wouldn't be against it lol
I'm obviously late to the party, but to comment on something you said. I've seen many people over the years advocate for going either full Paragon or full Renegade. And I completely disagree. Mass Effect has many situations that are not black or white, but shades of gray. And I find it far more interesting to see a player do what they think they would do as Shepard in each situation, and then hearing their reasons why, instead of "I'm just gonna pick the Paragon choice every time." And contrary to what many people think, I am of the strong opinion that the Paragon/Renegade system is *not* "Good or Evil", "Good Guy vs Bad Guy" lol. It just depends on each situation. Sometimes being Paragon is being diplomatic and altruistic. Other times it's acting like a naive idealistic goody two-shoes, and can get people killed. Sometimes Renegade is being a no-nonsense pragmatic badass with a spine who gets things done. Other times it's being unnecessarily harsh and a jerk, and can get people killed.
The way the persuasion system worked in ME2/3 did penalize you to a certain extent if you played too much down the middle, but it's my understanding that it has been rebalanced. I've always played as a "Paragade" which is mostly Paragon but also about 1/3 Renegade, and in the originals there were only ever 2-3 choices where I couldn't use a persuasion option, but lucky for me, they were options where I didn't want to use persuade anyway lol.
I find this paragon and renegade options so interesting I see alot of fun and potential with it but just as you said and with the way I want to play this I want to just pick from the heart. I really do hope we don't get screwed so much for really just wanting to RP as we would if we were in Shepard's shoes. I do hope it does get balanced well in the next games. So far being I'm a little ahead of this vid and I haven't had much of a problem with any of it which is a super relief. For some reason this system scares me though 😂... It would be rough to miss stuff but honestly I think I'm gonna try to stay true to my RP of Atticus over picking a side.
And I agree so far the paragon and renegade doesn't feel like good guy bad guy. I love seeing Shepard do both.
@@Bowskii In ME1 it's all mostly about just putting points into Charm or Intimidate, and getting enough points to unlock ranks in them. In ME2/3 it works very differently. I just wanted to say that while I can't guarantee that you'll be able to pass every single persuasion check throughout the trilogy, I went 100% into prioritizing Role-Playing, and I only had 2-3 instances across the trilogy where I didn't pass a check. So it is possible. I think you'd only be "in trouble" if you went out of your way to be as neutral as possible throughout the entire experience, which is a very unlikely scenario lol.
I don't know if you've been to Noveria yet, but if you do just want some extra peace of mind, there's a well-known and used exploit with an NPC there (that still works in the remaster) where you can max out your Paragon and Renegade meters as long as you have at least 5 points each in Charm and Intimidate when you do their quest. Normally I don't do things like that. But it just gives you such a *HUGE* persuasion boost when importing into ME2, and I wanted to ensure that I had as many RP options available to me as possible lol. So it's something to at least consider.
@@Bowskii Also props on making a custom, personalized Shepard lol. One of my favorite Mass Effect fan art pieces is a picture of Shepard walking down a corridor that has mirrors on each wall (so it had the infinity reflection effect). But in each one it was Shepards of different genders, races, hairstyles, armor, etc. showing how we can all have our own "Shepard" =D
Also I don't know if you keep notes or not, but I wouldn't bother trying to read the opening text scroll in ME2 out loud, just fyi. It goes by and disappears super fast. I've never seen anyone make it, even reading as fast as they can XD
You've also probably already figured this out by now, but in the dialogue wheel, upper-right is "Paragon", lower-right is "Renegade", and middle is neutral, which also speeds the conversation along faster and usually has less dialogue. It's of note because many times people will pick an option and have a "No! That's not what I meant!" reaction to what Shepard actually says XD
thank you! I always like to make a custom character in game I love it when games give you that chance. Because it makes the character feel more personal you get more immersed into the game with that. That fan art sounds so awesome! Really great that this game has either a man or female! as the man main character its awesome and alot of replayability.
Haha I thought ME1 opening scene was really hard to read cant imagine how it would be if there is one that is faster... rekted!
I been getting the hang of the wheel a bit. It sure is interesting and pretty unique but I feel I really need to read what we can say before we actually say it so I don't come off saying the wrong thing or get that feeling of well that's not what I meant to say. I love having the 3 choices but because of the system with the top or bottom its always scary so far to press the middle but I feel like I've held my ground in RPing it more then going with a side.
And that's pretty wild that they actually have a bug that can max out your charm and intimidate wow lol.
Honestly though its been a good 8 plus years since I played this.. it was on the Xbox 360 lol but seriously this almost feels like the first time again. There is just so much I don't know about this game or just haven't seen it yet. The most thing I remember is that I really loved all the companions a lot I thought they made a really strong cast here. And I'm really looking forward to it actually being fully blind in ME2-3 its going to be a great journey. Starting with this game and ending in 3 I really been wanting to play a game that imports like this. I mean I been playing the Witcher but I feel like these games might import a bit more when it comes to choices and such and I'm really looking forward to that!
@@Bowskii Yeah Mass Effect was the game that took the concept of importing choices and consequences to a whole new level lol. I pre-ordered the crap out of the Collector's Editions for the 360 versions. Still have them sitting on my top shelf. The Witcher 3 is also up there with them haha.
I completely agree that personalizing your character really adds to the immersion. I love that the very first dialogue in the game (when Anderson, Hacket, and Udina are discussing Shepard) is reactionary to the background choices that you make.
One of the best series of all time. Andromeda is the black sheep though. Lol
Really amazing game thus far I can't wait to see the other ones as well. I'll do the original trilogy first then give MEA a go. Really looking forward to it all. Especially getting to ME2-3 for the first time finally lol 🤣
@@Bowskii It's good to like diving into all the lore and getting to know the story and characters, you will definitely get attached to characters and care about them just like the Witcher.
I really love games like this makes it feel real for us that really get immersed. Video game art.
You just couldn't help yourself, brother! HAHA I first stumbled on your channel because of your ME1 run years ago. It's crazy how much you've developed. You were already communicative, but you're a lot more free-flowing... I don't know man... Maybe it's the webcam addition? You've been playing a lot of games I can't follow along with, but I'm here for the ride, buddy! :) THRUSTERS CHECK. ALL SYSTEMS ONLINE! GO GO GO!
Haha I definitely couldn't help myself I needed Mass Effect right now 🤣. And so awesome to have you here for the ride. I remember the first attempt at ME1 that LP was really fun, though I'm glad I didn't finish it I think it was like 10 vids in lol but glad I didn't finish because I'd probably have skipped legendary edition for a LP. And just did the older versions probably. Just glad I can do it now and really looking forward to seeing 2 and 3 since they are blind for me.
And goodness we are getting old huh lol I remember that time we both were pretty new had about maybe 200 subs each or so. We both have definitely come a long way wow.
Not sure what it is maybe more comfortable now a days but I just hit the record and talk and talk and talk lol 🤣 I might talk to much hahaha.
Again so awesome to have you here brother. Glad it's a game that's finally not in the spoiler zone. I'm so excited to play ME1 again when I get outside the first half of ME 1 it's going to feel so new. And then ME2-3 are blind and I just cannot wait to see it all!!!
