@@basicwitgirl you can, and did, sabotage the Atlas. It doesn't turn on its enemies, but short circuits for a few seconds giving you a chance to attack..or run...
Yay! Kaidan is (almost) back ❤ Probably Taylor has already told you, but whether Kaidan trusts you or not depends in a few choices that go back to even ME1 (like saving the Council gives you a +1 while not saving them gives you a -1, same with romancing someone else in ME2, how you treat him during Mars, whether Thane is alive during ME3 or not and so on). I have been keeping tabs since the beginning 😂 Btw, this is the moment why a lot of people discuss whether Kaidan has a higher rank than Shepard, because "HOW DARE HIM POINT A GUN AT A SUPERIOR" but it doesn't matter. He hasnt gone back to the Normandy and, here, he's already a spectre, so... Also, although the cutscene is doing a close-up, you can clearly see that, at seeing Shepard, he inmediately lowers his shoulders (which mean he lowers his arms and, therefore, his gun) He only points again when Shepard's companions don't lower theirs and, honestly, he's only doing his duty... You'd think Thane's death would be easier as we already knew he was doomed but... Nope... Still so emotional 😭😭😭😭 He deserved a quiet death, but he dies a hero too ❤ Thanks for the video, basic and Taylo! Can't wait for Thursday ❤
oh my gosh I'm watching back and he TOTALLY DOES lower his weapon when he sees Shep 😭 I'm laughin that you have been doing the math though!! the dedication!
It's sad that both Mordin and Thane had to die, but if you have to write a character off, those are the ways to do it! Both of them got absolutely amazing hero's deaths to complete intricate redemption arcs!
Kaidan, my love. I personally consider all the times you visit the Virmire Survivor and buy them something from the hospital gift shot as part of a secret "loyalty mission" since how those scenes play out will determine how the stand-off during this mission goes down.
Thane was my romance guy in several of my playthroughs so darn you Bioware for creating such a compelling character to break all our hearts with! Another sad ending... . 😭
In all my playthroughs, Thane is always a close friend of mine. Thane's death always hits me hard and I always break down when he sacrifices his life to save the councilor. To quote star trek, "Of my friend, I can only say this. Of all the souls i have encountered in my travels, his was the most.... human."
I'm so glad I had tissues on my nightstand because HOOOOO BOY. But....our precious Canadian Golden Retriever will be back on the Normandy where he belongs!!
Yeah, Citadel II right after Tuchanka... the writers really wanted to make us cry and once again I got tear-eyes, especially watching you sobbing. We've all been there and it's a testimony for the greatness of this series because even we veterans are crying, even if we've played the trilogy multiple times. Oh, and you did hack the Atlas. I think you did not notice it but the mech could not fire for several seconds after you used your Sabotage power on it. I discovered that neat little trick last year (and I've been playing ME for 11 years!!). Like you, I didn't think it was possible to hack the Atlas with its pilot inside but apparently, you can! Yay! Last one thing: "Why are we waiting?", "What were we thinking?", "We need to be more resourceful about how we deal with our baddies" Glad to see you reacted the same way I did. I hate Thane's death scene so much because he deserved a better sendoff. And don't get me started on Shepard and squadies who stand still and do nothing!! Gah. Anyways, great video, as usual. Super emotional but that's ME3 for you. We're here for you. Good luck, Commander Basique.
Two episodes IN A ROW crying with you. This game is soul crushing. It might be why it may be my favorite ME... it's hard to choose, but things really come to a head in this one. So many callbacks to even ME1. Thane's prayer being for you is just the cherry on top of the sad cake. You've finally met "Kai Lame". Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck him and cerberus 😠
Emotional Damage for everyone! That being said, I'm so excited for where you're at in the game, though! There are still happy moments ahead and I genuinely can't wait.
Funny thing though. I wore the Cerberus Ajax armor in my playthrough. Udina spoke the truth. My Shepherd was indeed on Cerberus's side. At least according to the dress code.
Girl, I played this game when it came out and many times since, and I STILL tear up thinking about Mordin. Ain't nothing "Weenie Hut Jr." about it. It's one of the most devastating scenes in gaming.
Yeah, I've been playing these games for 11 years and I discovered this neat little fact only last year... because I never thought it was possible to hack an Atlas with the pilot inside:: LOL
Yeah, that one-two punch of Tuchanka followed by the Citadel is brutal. First playthrough, I was a sobbing mess for days. Even now, I can't help but cry... very undignified whimpering happening on this end of the screen, let me tell you. Kai Leng can go sit on a cactus, to put it politely.
@@andyh4464 I said in my initial comment, " It can be avoided depending on the decisions you make. " When I said that I meant all decisions up to the point Mordin dies. Also, I don't agree with you. If she had of agreed to the Dalatrosses plan to fool the Krogan and lied about dispersing the cure she never would have told Mordin about the STG sabotage, and he would have never gone up to counter the sabotage. I do believe regardless of the choices she made in ME 1 and 2 she still could have made choices in ME 3 that would have saved his life.
@@HALFORIGINAL13you are correct. You can save Mordin even if Wrex is alive. Spoilers ahead The differences is that, when Wrex is dead, you can fool everyone and, therefore, Mordin lives and the Krogan believe you have spread the cure. If Wrex is alive, he figures It out, has a confrontation with Shepard ("My mistake was trusting you, thinking that you were a friend" or something along the lines) and ends up dead... For me, it's the worst outcome and I have only seen It done once, but it's technically possible to save Mordin while Wrex is alive
@@HALFORIGINAL13 what you have to do in order for Mordin to live is so beyond the pale that I just can't bring myself to do it, even on renegade playthrough
there was a bunch of comic and novels between ME2 and ME3 you learn alot about "TIM", Dr Eva, Kia Leng and other people that seem sudden and new in ME3. i didn't read them until years after my play though and kept going "Oh! that's where that guy got his name!" Anytime you see a new face with a layers of plot armor thats where they come from and its not just Dr Eva and Leng but to answer more would enter spoiler-age. i think in all 4 mass effect games kia leng is the one people love to hate the most but a lot of that is intentional from a writers point of view.
@@happyslapsgiving5421as much as I hate it (I would love to find the alternate universe where Kai Leng gets squished by Shepard and Thane lives), it is a little…poetic. In my head, this is how it all goes down after, across the sea… “Doctor; I don’t expect to see you here. Looks like you have quite the…collection of seashells.” “Ah, my friend! Wasn’t expecting you either; beach peaceful, but wanted something to do. Collecting seashells, hoping to test them later. You look well; would you join me?”
@basicwitgirl ok... like you said, another Emotional Damaging Episode. I bet Kaiden holding you at Gun point was stressful.. I'm glad that's been handled. However, Kaiden-Light? This was not... TL:DR I was named by Basic as her Kaiden counter since she mentioned him by name... A lot... I mean a lot a lot (psst, just look at ep. 7 of ME2, Horizon.... I think it was like 68 or 69 times) Any who, so that is what i am doing. I need to get caught up on ME 2, but since we're here, lets begin. The official/unofficial Kaiden count for this current episode: Kaiden: 28 Bf: 2 Babe: 9 On to the next episode!! Nice to see Kaiden is back in Basique's mind, Basic. LoL
If you want to know why they didn't shoot, that would've risked them hitting Thane. Remember Thane's back is to the squad while Kai is in front of him. Plus Kai Leng was fast enough to evade Thane's shots close up, so even if they got an angle, he's hard to hit.
Nah, at one moment, Thane punch Leng with his biottics so hard that the bastard slides on the floor several meters away... just before Thane picks his gun up, they could have shoot Leng then.
@basicwitgirl I think the ONLY reason why Kai Leng is there (in ME3) is because we needed someone to hate besides TIM. If you ask ANYONE who has played ME3, who they hate, and the answer is the same: Kai Leng. I mean, he wasn't even a thought or a mention in ME 1 or 2, but he is one of the main antagonists besides Tim. So yeah, the ME community hates Kai Leng. Welcome to the club! 😂😢
Thane's passing is sad. Modins then, Thane? Just remember to keep those tissues nearby. The pain is only just starting... I mean, yeah... Happy fun beach episodes are coming soon... yeah... Yeah... 💔💔💔
Can someone PLEASE explain to me why the Cerberus jackalope comes out of invis HEAD FIRST!? That graphic for a second of just his head showing has driven me nuts for 12 years!!!
So, if nobody else has said this already... Mordin CAN be saved, he doesn't have to die in the cure-the-genophage arc. As for HOW you do this... *spoilers ahead, read at your own peril* THREE specific decisions, one in each game, MUST be made in order to have a chance at saving him (meaning you can doom Mordin before you've even met him). The decisions are 1) Kill Wrex on Virmire, 2) Destroy Maelon's research at the end of Mordin's loyalty mission, and 3) don't reveal the Salarian sabotage to the Krogan. As long as these decisions are made, with enough Paragon/Renegade points, you can get Mordin to live.
Nope. You can save Mordin even if Wrex is alive, but the outcome is...not pretty. Spoilers ahead If Wrex is alive, he figures out that Shepard has lied and confronts them at the Citadel. Then, he ends up dead...
@@tatianamarco6770 I meant in the sense of save Mordin AND still get Krogan support, you're right, Wrex doesn't HAVE to die to keep Mordin alive, but there is no way both live, regardless of what choices you make at any point.
Oh, the game doesn't allow a few the to happen while you're invisible. It's annoying, but just the way the game mechanics work. One, your shields will not refresh while you're invis. Also you can't bypass doors while you're invis.
Technically you didn't kill the Batarians. They were toast either way, so you don't have to carry that one on your shoulders. Sniper rifles not great vs shields, assault rifle and SMG are better. If Bailey dies you're going to be sad...oh you poor thing.
Quick question, did you ever do the missing Krogan scouts missing before Priority Tuchanka? I only ask because I don’t remember seeing it and there is a Grunt reunion in that mission.
You really need to work on the reloading thing. Fight over = Reload. Every time. Also just so you are aware if you only have 2 guns the mousewheel will switch between them without pausing.
You should make a "worst decisions" playthrough I can't tell if you've upgraded your weapons or not because your face window covers it up. Black widow is great once you have it to lvl V Thanes battle was in slow motion for the camera. From squad perspective, it was too quick to shoot without risking hitting thane Everyone hated KL. Even from character development point of view I cried too. Worst of the psychological torment is over
Spoiler for different paths taken. Mordin’s saveable, but the cost is a little high. Having him do what he did and letting him go is really the best you can hope for. There’s no way around Thane 😢 that always hits hard. At least you didn’t kill Kaiden… which is an option!
After all these years, I have seen Thane die enough times to make a Die Hard movie, but his last scene slays me every time. Makes me want to open that stupid ninja cosplayer up like a Pez dispenser and show him a new place to sheathe his sword. See you for the next edition of Trauma Theater!
If it makes you feel better the game can be far more depressing than how you’re playing it. ME3 is definitely worth a renegade run or at least watch it on TH-cam
Be very careful from now on Basic...Get all your war assets, warn EVERYONE about Kai Leng, meet everybody, complete all side missions...or even worse things will happen!!! Kaidan is safe and he's the least of your worries now. He should probably be in the hospital for the rest of the game with is PTSD...
Worst scripted character interaction in the game. "Smash him in the underpass" is what every gamer thought when we played it. It was so obvious but the poorly written bad guy has to escape because "plot". Most poorly written character in the series!
@ 01:09:46 oh imagine you missed that right mouse button click omg .... .. in my gameplay Ash said to Shep like: "I hope the Reapers send you to hell" .. she said it in german cause I played ME in german the first times and later in english
Mass Effect is an amazing series, and despite some of the flaws of me3 in particular, it's still my favorite just for how fun the gameplay is and all the incredible story and character moments ...however, you have just been introduced (well he was shown briefly earlier technically) to objectively the worst part of me3. Kai Leng. He's not even an interesting or cool villain he's just an annoying lil twerp

See you for the next edition of Trauma Theater!
I CACKLED AT PEZ DISPENSER 😭

If it makes you feel better the game can be far more depressing than how you’re playing it. ME3 is definitely worth a renegade run or at least watch it on TH-cam
Be very careful from now on Basic...Get all your war assets, warn EVERYONE about Kai Leng, meet everybody, complete all side missions...or even worse things will happen!!! Kaidan is safe and he's the least of your worries now. He should probably be in the hospital for the rest of the game with is PTSD...
another cerberus day ruined!
the best kind of day!
honestly, on the difficulty you play it doesn't matter wich guns you take.
Worst scripted character interaction in the game. "Smash him in the underpass" is what every gamer thought when we played it. It was so obvious but the poorly written bad guy has to escape because "plot". Most poorly written character in the series!
PLOT ARMOR, GROSS....
@ 01:09:46 oh imagine you missed that right mouse button click omg .... .. in my gameplay Ash said to Shep like: "I hope the Reapers send you to hell" .. she said it in german cause I played ME in german the first times and later in english
Mass Effect is an amazing series, and despite some of the flaws of me3 in particular, it's still my favorite just for how fun the gameplay is and all the incredible story and character moments
...however, you have just been introduced (well he was shown briefly earlier technically) to objectively the worst part of me3. Kai Leng. He's not even an interesting or cool villain he's just an annoying lil twerp
Wait has she not gotten Javik yet? Hasn't done Priority: Eden Prime?
She said she's waiting until Kaidan's back to go to Eden Prime
not yet!
@@basicwitgirl Damn, that's usually the first mission I do right before I go to the citadel for the first time lol, can't wait to see your reaction to it though!
@@krubyte497 I wanted to take Kaidan since he was there for mission 1!
@@basicwitgirl Ohhh I see! Definitely shows how much you love that man lol, & I’ve honestly never seen anyone do that, definitely more psyched to watch the next episode 👍
The Illusive man isn't necessarily wrong, in is his beliefs. He is wrong of course, in the way you've been playing. But he's not, depending on you're view of this story.

The sound of your voice is as sweet as honey 🍯 ✨️
There is actually a mod I just saw that replaces Kei Leng with a generic cerberus elite soldier. Getting rid of his lines and cringe poorly written story
...His wish was for you.
weeping 😭
If you Romanced Him, You get Messages from him in the Citadel DLC...It will shatter you in to pieces
Where is Jarvik.
@@janemmanuelbestac7310 who?
Yeah Kaidan's gonna get what's coming for betraying Shepard at Horizon!
It’s Shepard, she’s what’s c- I MEAN WHAT
I set up the ball, and Basic hits the hole in one!
