It is IMPERATIVE that you avoid spoilers or advice for this series. Use your gut and instinct, and you'll have quite the adventure you won't ever forget.
Yes and in my experience the fan base of this game can’t help themselves and constantly spoil things in the comments especially if you make a choice they don’t agree with
I find it incredibly frustrating how hung up certain fans get when it comes to the paragon and renegade system. They’ll insist that new players and streamers should always choose one alignment or the other, never deviating. Which is an incredibly brain dead way to play the trilogy. These games are so much more fun if you forget about Paragon and Renegade as a concept and just make choices based on what’s right for the story and your character.
@@LilithsLove89 Literally nobody ever said that. 🤦♂ Nobody ever said "never deviating", you're making that up. They just said to do *_prevalently_* one or the other. People just want new players to *FINISH THE GAME.* The game can make you lose vital choices, kill important squadmates, or even give you a non-standard *GAME OVER* halfway through, if you don't have enough Paragon or Renegade points at certain checkpoints. And yes, it's pretty easy to avoid... you just have to avoid splitting your Renegade and Paragon points equally, so you don't end up having too little of both. You can be "mostly Paragon", gather a bunch of Paragon points, and just pick the Renegade choices that you *_really_* like. Or viceversa. And you won't have to deal with that. Most of the time, you won't prefer one or the other anyway, so picking the one that gets you higher in your chosen alignment will be painless and actually satisfying at the same time. Is that a behavior you're calling "braindead"? 🤦♂ Wasting a whole run (or best case scenario having to restart a whole mission, a whole planet, w/e) just because for no reason you want to roleplay an undecided amoeba, or a someone with a split personality disorder... *THAT'S BRAINDEAD.* 🫵😂 PS: Next up, the answer the real "braindead" people usually give me when I make this point... "buh that never happened to me!!1" Because if something doesn't involve them... it doesn't exist. 🤦♂
The biggest tip, don't let anyone tell you how to play or what choices to make. This is YOUR playthrough and the fun of watching people do playthroughs of our beloved game is to see all the choices made and enjoyment taken be another new player.
It's always funny to me, the ominous starts playing when you talk to Chakwas about the "dreams" you were having, and then the moment she starts saying she should add that to her report, the music stops.
Comments can be a mine field throughout this game. Glad you’re playing offline as it’s a way better experience than trying to navigate a chat during important moments of the main story or the amazing lore. My advice… you can certainly play this game super duper blind and that is indeed a fun way to do it. I personally would instead entrust in someone you know who’s a Mass Effect fan and they recommend certain things you do in order. Yes yes it ruins the truly blind part, but you’ll get the best experience with zero spoilers. Then in that case *hopefully* the comment section will just sit back and enjoy the ride.
It's funny you suggest that, bc my friend and editor literally made me a spoiler free little guide! it's been very helpful so far! everything in the comments I'm navigating very carefully bc I do truly want to follow my instincts on a first playthrough! No matter how bad they might be!
Your squad commands are very useful for making fights less chaotic. Sending squadmates to cover protects them from enemy fire; otherwise, they just wander around and get in your way. Targeting enemies with squad commands makes your squadmates concentrate fire on a specific enemy, making them more accurate and deadly. Otherwise, they take potshots or just unload on a wall. Outside of combat, just take your time, talk to everybody, and explore all the nooks and crannies. Don't forget that you get XP for learning new information from NPCs, and you get rewarded for investing in and using speech skills.
Nice to find a playthrough that's just beginning...I'm looking forward to following your journey through these fantastic games. While I agree with the comments saying to play your way, avoid spoilers and not to take advice on how to play, there is some advice that I think is worth stating: 1) talk to everyone, all the time. You never know when someone will have a mission, codex entry or lore for you. 2) some people say to rush me1 because 2 and 3 are better. I disagree. Be thorough. Things in me1 can affect what happens in 2 and 3. 3) read and understand your abilities, weapon mods, etc. to prep for combat. You'll have a more fulfilling playthrough if you are using the right skills in the right situation; for example, use overload on shields and warp on barriers. 4) each game has a point of no return mission. I won't list them here unless you ask, to not remove your player agency. It's best to complete every mission you care to finish before endgame before doing the point of no return.
That's amazing. The last girl gamer I just watched went with Vanguard too. It's very good choice. I'm looking forward to seeing you in action Commander 😁
TH-cam recommended your Mass Effect 2 videos to me, which made me want to see your gameplay for all the games, it's always nice to see new people through this saga. Good luck, and I love that you like the character of Kaidan, he is one of my favorites, unfortunately he has many haters
Just started this and normally I stray from those who like close-ups, but this is one is subtle, not obnoxious. With that in mind curious you're on PC, not console, thus the choppiness in frame rates here. Not sure is going on, hope fully it gets looked at in future episodes (I'm a month behind vs current), but overall I did enjoy your first time and your reactions felt organic, not "I have to"... I watched at least dozen complete series of others who played this series, thus far (helps me keep me away from this series so I can focus on my own gamethrough, which is FO4) you help me focus on my game w/o playing another gamethrough here... I have my own rpg with FO4, but ME is still back in mind, thus my medicine here, I hope this helps, sigh, probably not, where I go split-brain again, sigh. Overall, I think you'll do fine here, no matter of decisions, and about the only I will interject, usually the next game, if needed, not SPOILING just a reminder as long if you're consistent or confused. Otherwise, follow the wind and it is yours.
Yes, frames are resolved by episode 2! Just a weird graphics setting that was 10x worse on my recording! Hope you're enjoying your FO4 play! I'm starting on Twitch tomorrow!
Going into this game series the most important thing to know is that every game builds off of what you have done before. That said, the first game is mostly world building. Second game is investing you in characters. Third game is all pay off. I'm excited for you to get into this game series.
Someone on Tumblr mentioned your channel has a Kaidan-loving playthrough, and I'm so happy he's getting some love! He was my first Mass Effect romance, and while I've done others since, I keep coming back to him. I look forward to binging through these (and hopefully catching up in time to watch you experience ME3, which is my personal favorite of the trilogy)
AHHH SHOUTOUT TO TUMBLR!! Yes yes this is a very pro-Kaidan playthrough and I love stumbling upon other AlenkHoes! I love that sweet Angel baby biotic boy💕 Ep 1 gameplay is shakey fyi, but all is fixed going forward! Enjoy!
kaidan is such a sweetheart he was my second romance after garrus in mass effect 2 but i keep going back to my bebe Kaidan Alenko glad you enjoy the game
I'm working on an intense project right now and wanted to have a Mass Effect playthrough on my second monitor. I went through nine different creators before I stumbled upon your playthrough. Your energy and edits are bloody brilliant, so thanks in advance for mellowing the stress for my hundreds of hours of work ahead.
Loved it! Great first video, you'll absolutely adore this series. I do recommend only listening to some gameplay advice cause some of it is a bit vague lol. For example, charm is paragon and intimidation is renegade. Whatever you focus on is what your Shepard will become. But don't be afraid to add in some intimidation whenever it feels right, some of them are badass lines lol. Hope that helps and looking forward to the rest of your story!
Breaking news: The shakedown run of the prototype stealth warship “Normandy” was cut short when a grenade detonated onboard, causing explosive decompression and sending the ship crashing to a nearby planet.
Don't hear this 🤡. It's ok to get advice on the order the missions are supposed to be played, and other stuff. It's not intuitive in any game of the trilogy and you might end up messing it up big time or doing something you didn't intend to.
@@dyegorodriguez2126life is unpredictable, you are not supposed to know everything you have to do for the alleged "optimal" result fo every decision. At this point, why do you even play, just watch the cutscenes only
@@fthomason93 I didn't know about it until the end and it didn't change a thing. I'm fact it was an honest experience that wasn't forced in the choices I had to pick. My Shepard behaved according to my own morality instead of one of 2 pre-constructed paths chosen by someone else, and made the story all the more immersive. You should try next time.
@@ShiningLight I’ve played the game several times since it first came out and have definitely played along all kinds of moral compasses lol but it did objectively make a difference, that’s kind of how choices in games like these work. Why get so defensive about it?
like someone said below, obviously avoid spoilers but ALSO AVOID ADVICE. Sometimes people can unintentionally spoil through advice. Trust your gut and instinct and make the story your own and nobody elses!
Welcome to a world of wonders and story. Just do what u think and feel is right and dont listen to what others say about the decitions u have to make. There are lots of choices in this series. I mean LOTS Ur channel may also explode with ME fans so brace urself! Cheers!
Hi, first time here with you. ME1 is the most RPG, the next two are more FPS, but I appreciate the storytelling throughout the trilogy and the ways you can go back for multiple playthroughs. This'll be fun!
@@basicwitgirlas you know you can develop relationships in the game. This occurred from a women TH-camr in Mass Effect 2, and I suppose it is something only a woman would notice. "Imagine being called by your last name (Shepard) ... by your lover!"
Ahh a woman of Culture. As they say, please avoid spoilers, even in the comments. It needs to be said, this game is driven by conversation choices first and foremost. In Mass Effect 2, that will also include Paragon or Renegade interrupts where you must keep your hands on the controller at all times for those quick time events
So, 47:00, I have a confession. I used to work long hours at my corporate job, and I deliberately got an apartment across the street from my office so that I could take a midday siesta. It was 100% worth it. No regrets.
@@basicwitgirl Hahaha no way! OT well spent I say! I used to get so many evils from my colleagues when I went home for a nap. I started bribing them with doughnuts. One time, one of my clients unexpectedly showed up in the city and wanted to discuss a large contract. I had just woken up from a nap and realized there was no way I could get ready and make it to the office in time. So, I improvised and said, "Yeah, totally! Come over to my place and I'll make us some lunch." The client hesitated but agreed with an "uhhh, sure?" It turned out to be one of the best meetings I've ever had. The client was thrilled and later told my boss, "You know, this was such a refreshing part of my day. It was laid back, and we got a lot done." My boss nearly lost it when he found out I took the meeting at my place, but he just ended up saying, "Next time, just run it by me first." Moral of the story: naps pay.

You're in for such a great story🙃The graphics looked dated for sure but if you can get past that the story and character development is awesome! Thanks so much Wit and have a wonderful weekend!
I just stumbled across your channel after looking for someone doing a play though with commentary. Even better that you went in blind. I love this series and 15 minutes in, I know I’ve got a ton of catch up watching to do
Everytime I see ME1 first playthrough with console, right after you get control and want to speak with someone, EVERYONE suddenly pick his pistol and throw grenade somewhere :D Funny that you did not disappoint either, even thou it seems you play on PC :D May you have great time playing this game (or entire trilogy). 😉
Make sure to keep Charm maxed out it will be useful, and this game came out the same year as Uncharted 1 so 2007 These games are massive with an in depth story, and lots of places to explore. # 827
I am on my third full playthrough of the game. I will never get enough of the game or the characters. And all I will say is that I also wanted to date Joked when I first played 😂❤
love these 3 games. For ME2/3 you can edit some files so that Space Bar pauses the game without having to constantly hold it down (which is very annoying). It's not very hard, the MAss Effect Wiki has a technical section that explains how to do that. I also changed the game so I get full XP when shooting enemies from within the MAKO. makes more sense to me...
Shout out to my FYP for recommending a first play through of Mass Effect, excited to see how it goes for you! Please try and avoid as much spoilers as possible and I hope you have a blast!
I prefer male shep, I just think his dialogue is more pronounced and emotional, and honestly people never give him a chance, his acting is AMAZING, but people never see it as they say "well everybody plays fem shep, I will too" I have played fem shep and I prefer male shep always!
I personally prefer FemShep, but my first playthrough was as MaleShep, and I like both performances quite a lot. Btw, did you know Mark Meer (MaleShep's voice actor) also voices most/all Hanar, Vorcha, and (I think) Elcor characters? (except one Elcor who is voiced by Jennifer Hale, FemShep's VA instead)!
well tbh it’s just nice to have a female option that was one of the FIRST real options where you didn’t need to play a man in these types of games lol. (plus i prefer jennifer hale over anyone, maleshep is majorly flat and nowhere near her imo)
I've been a Vanguard FemShep since the second Mass Effect for my FemShep when I have the opportunity to play this fun trilogy again for fun to me then a MalShep Engineer after for me flipping the game again for I back then to I flipping this fun trilogy back then to I.
I can't recall ever getting a headache from watching a video, but this choppy framerate did a number on me. I'm glad you've got it all sorted out for the next one. I'm looking forward to it.
I have never clicked a video so quickly 😂 I love your BG3 videos and how obsessed you are with Gale (because honestly, same 😂) so I'm really excited to see you playing one of my fave trilogies ❤ But, please, I beg you, dont listen to fandom about characters and so on and give them a chance yourself. I'm tired of people trying to turn players against certain characters and towards others in the comments 🙄🙄🙄
Ahhhh hi hi!! hope you liked the little Gale cameo during character creation😉 One of the main reasons I chose to do this playthrough as a TH-cam let’s play and not live on twitch is for exactly that reason! I want to experience the characters and their stories through my own impressions and assumptions! I know people have their favs and didn’t want that influence from a live audience! Excited to get to know them all!
I've been a major player since video game stuff as a child for my disabled ass for I to the first game I was a MalShep Engineer before I making a FemShep Vanguard for second plus third and flipping the original Mass Effect trilogy on my PS3 back then to I 😊.
Love watching new people’s playthrough but the frame rate was so bad so couldn’t stay. Hope you can figure out how to fix this with your capture card. Will check back later. Have fun with your ME journey! :)
Little atractiva hippie from That Seventies Show back then when used to me able to seeing that funny ass show for fun to me back then for fun to I during the Nighte's for fun to me back then before graduation on June of 98 before my birthday at end of November for I back then to me.
It is IMPERATIVE that you avoid spoilers, that you *LISTEN* to advice, and that unlike some of the commenters here you are able to *tell the difference between the two concepts.* You don't need advice on everything, obviously, but two or three simple, important, *spoiler free* notions in each game will make the difference between a mediocre, confused, largely incomplete and most importantly unsatisfying run (or possibly even incomplete), and *_having the best gaming experience of your life._* Food for thought. 😉
Shepard's cute, you are to, never played mass effect, just found out about it in the starcon video I think I'm hooked already put it with my FO4,and stellar blade think I'm going to enjoy it ❤❤❤😂😢 14:4814:51 😅
@basicwitgirl so...... I just decided to go and watch your playthrough of ME 1.... So.... You and Joker, huh? Kaiden was not an ep1 love at first sight? You wanted... Joker? 😂😂😂 I can't wait to see where it all goes downhill lol
That’s something I like about Mass Effect that no matter how significant or insignificant the characters are , how long or how little their screen time is they’re all memorable
I wish Joker was a romance option but hes not:( youre smitten with Kaiden 😅 juuust wait till you meet the real heartthrob Garrus and his soothing voice lol
I'll be making another female Vanguard Shepard again for myself since I randomly making a FemShep Vanguard in the second plus third game I'll be flipping the trilogy first as a FemShep Vanguard before a MalShep if I ever get that opportunity for flipping this great trilogy 😜 again to I.

Don't be afraid to talk to npcs. It's a big part of the game
She missed a few, definitely not a game to rush through as most interactions contribute to the world building, the best aspect of ME1.
The reason you never had it spoiled is because us ME fans know that the game trilogy is amazing. And we always want more Commanders for N7 day!
Happy to be a future commander!!🫡🥹

like someone said below, obviously avoid spoilers but ALSO AVOID ADVICE. Sometimes people can unintentionally spoil through advice. Trust your gut and instinct and make the story your own and nobody elses!
New viewer here! Excited to see people playing Mass Effect for the first time! You'll have a blast! it's the Star Wars of video games!!
Welcome aboard!
Yay! Basic, I've only been waiting like 3 years of me following you! 😂
Looking forward to watching aaaallll of it! ❤❤
Welcome to a world of wonders and story.
Just do what u think and feel is right and dont listen to what others say about the decitions u have to make. There are lots of choices in this series. I mean LOTS
Ur channel may also explode with ME fans so brace urself!
Cheers!
Hi, first time here with you. ME1 is the most RPG, the next two are more FPS, but I appreciate the storytelling throughout the trilogy and the ways you can go back for multiple playthroughs. This'll be fun!
Here from Tiktok and let's go! Can't wait for the playthrough and Kaidan love 💖
And to think, the Vanguard doesn't even fully come into its own until Mass Effect 2.
I'm excited to see how the role unfolds, but please be careful with spoilers! ☺
Another first-time playthrough of Mass Effect? Yoink.
Editing on point 😂 love to see it!
My editor is a genius at what she does😂
I’m just starting the video but make sure you talk to your crew between missions! Or you could miss good backstory and characterization.
45:43 "He was my job reference." I guess that's the "wit" in your channel name. That is the second best line of all the playthroughs I've watched.
Hahaha glad you laughed! now I’m curious what the first best was 😂
@@basicwitgirlas you know you can develop relationships in the game. This occurred from a women TH-camr in Mass Effect 2, and I suppose it is something only a woman would notice. "Imagine being called by your last name (Shepard) ... by your lover!"
Oh boy, strap in and get ready for a ride. Make your own choices and don’t let anyone get to you about how you should be playing
Ahh a woman of Culture. As they say, please avoid spoilers, even in the comments. It needs to be said, this game is driven by conversation choices first and foremost. In Mass Effect 2, that will also include Paragon or Renegade interrupts where you must keep your hands on the controller at all times for those quick time events
I'm dodgin spoilers like Neo in The Matrix!
@@basicwitgirl go get em Trinity!
So, 47:00, I have a confession. I used to work long hours at my corporate job, and I deliberately got an apartment across the street from my office so that I could take a midday siesta. It was 100% worth it. No regrets.
@@ConsultantSal hahaha I did as well! On Fridays if I had too much OT, I’d take a long lunch and just snooze away!😂
@@basicwitgirl Hahaha no way! OT well spent I say! I used to get so many evils from my colleagues when I went home for a nap. I started bribing them with doughnuts.
One time, one of my clients unexpectedly showed up in the city and wanted to discuss a large contract. I had just woken up from a nap and realized there was no way I could get ready and make it to the office in time. So, I improvised and said, "Yeah, totally! Come over to my place and I'll make us some lunch." The client hesitated but agreed with an "uhhh, sure?"
It turned out to be one of the best meetings I've ever had. The client was thrilled and later told my boss, "You know, this was such a refreshing part of my day. It was laid back, and we got a lot done." My boss nearly lost it when he found out I took the meeting at my place, but he just ended up saying, "Next time, just run it by me first."
Moral of the story: naps pay.
@@basicwitgirlHahaha No way! That's OT well spent 👌.
I remember my colleagues used to give me evils when I went home to take a nap, I started bribing them with doughnuts to get them off my case 😁.

Came from your DA video to here. Great first watch. Love the reactions and the cuts.
hey welcome!! if you like the ME playthrough on ep 1, I can confidently say it will only get better!
You're in for such a great story🙃The graphics looked dated for sure but if you can get past that the story and character development is awesome!
Thanks so much Wit and have a wonderful weekend!
Thanks for watching!! You too!
I just stumbled across your channel after looking for someone doing a play though with commentary. Even better that you went in blind. I love this series and 15 minutes in, I know I’ve got a ton of catch up watching to do
Everytime I see ME1 first playthrough with console, right after you get control and want to speak with someone, EVERYONE suddenly pick his pistol and throw grenade somewhere :D Funny that you did not disappoint either, even thou it seems you play on PC :D May you have great time playing this game (or entire trilogy). 😉
Welcome to the lore of Mass Effect Miss Basic!!!! Enjoy the journey!!
Make sure to keep Charm maxed out it will be useful, and this game came out the same year as Uncharted 1 so 2007
These games are massive with an in depth story, and lots of places to explore. # 827
I am SO EXCITED FOR THIS!
Great listening :) I just hope you don’t have the frame issues on your end
It didn’t seem AS BAD when I was playing, but all is fixed for ep 2!
Looking forward to bingeing this.
I am on my third full playthrough of the game. I will never get enough of the game or the characters. And all I will say is that I also wanted to date Joked when I first played 😂❤
Off to a good start, it looks like.
Welcome aboard, Commander.
Glad to finally be diving in!
17:12 🤣 Well, editor certainly has incredible skill
Omg the first Kaiden giggle 🥹🤧😂❤
Enjoy the best game I ever played!
love these 3 games.
For ME2/3 you can edit some files so that Space Bar pauses the game without having to constantly hold it down (which is very annoying).
It's not very hard, the MAss Effect Wiki has a technical section that explains how to do that.
I also changed the game so I get full XP when shooting enemies from within the MAKO. makes more sense to me...
Loved this series, along with the Dragon Age series, also from Bioware.
“is (Joker) a romance option?” in the vanilla games, no. but wait for the Hatboy Project mod to come to the Legendary Edition 😉
I played all 3 games as a Sniper.
It''s a bit challenging in 1st game, then it gets easier, but very cool.
Shout out to my FYP for recommending a first play through of Mass Effect, excited to see how it goes for you! Please try and avoid as much spoilers as possible and I hope you have a blast!
YAY HI WELCOME FROM FYP!! Sorry about Ep 1, but hope you make it through the tech difficulties and join for the journey!
"It's not as cute but it's better" truly the struggle is real
Mass Effect LE is amazing game package. Keep up the videos.
I prefer male shep, I just think his dialogue is more pronounced and emotional, and honestly people never give him a chance, his acting is AMAZING, but people never see it as they say "well everybody plays fem shep, I will too" I have played fem shep and I prefer male shep always!
I personally prefer FemShep, but my first playthrough was as MaleShep, and I like both performances quite a lot. Btw, did you know Mark Meer (MaleShep's voice actor) also voices most/all Hanar, Vorcha, and (I think) Elcor characters? (except one Elcor who is voiced by Jennifer Hale, FemShep's VA instead)!
well tbh it’s just nice to have a female option that was one of the FIRST real options where you didn’t need to play a man in these types of games lol. (plus i prefer jennifer hale over anyone, maleshep is majorly flat and nowhere near her imo)
Wild take
@@exessen1684 It's literally not a wild take.
Damb Really nice Swords.
I've been a Vanguard FemShep since the second Mass Effect for my FemShep when I have the opportunity to play this fun trilogy again for fun to me then a MalShep Engineer after for me flipping the game again for I back then to I flipping this fun trilogy back then to I.
Hi basic wit girl I came across your channel and I must say enjoying your play through. I am currently on ME 2
welcome! hope you are enjoying your own playthrough!
I can't believe you're romancing [spoiler] when we all know [spoiler] is the best choice.
indeed
@@JustShin11Shepard, your boyfriend has an order for you 👽
@@ZippyMrMewMan now I'm crying, just that short sentence brings back so so many memories !
Agreed, but there is time yet, and to be fair in ME1 he's still a bit young, maturity wise.
@@JezaGaia such good games. I can’t believe I waited so many years to play them
I can't recall ever getting a headache from watching a video, but this choppy framerate did a number on me. I'm glad you've got it all sorted out for the next one. I'm looking forward to it.
Make your own choices no matter what
Why is it that every game with an introductory passage always requires you to speed read it? lol
Emotional rollercoaster or not, this trilogy saved my sanity while my youngest son was fighting cancer multiple times.
games are truly so special! glad you had a distraction during what i'm sure was an emotionally taxing time!
Spacer, ruthless, engineer. Always Femshep!
Saren looks so much like Ultron. Also, I'm eagerly awaiting when you discover the minimap in the lower right.
I will EVENTUALLY 😂
LET'S GOOOOO
Not to get ahead of ourselves. But if you end up enjoying these games, you must check out Dragon Age! Ooo she would totally romance Fenris
I want to see Basic meet Alistair, Cullen and Fenris. The Dragon Age boyfriend trifecta.
Woah hold your horses! It's just the first episode of this masterpiece.
@@dyegorodriguez2126 I know lol I’m sorry. It’s just the BioWare effect
Bioware is famous for girl pick up technique.
Majority girl players romance same character.
I have never clicked a video so quickly 😂 I love your BG3 videos and how obsessed you are with Gale (because honestly, same 😂) so I'm really excited to see you playing one of my fave trilogies ❤
But, please, I beg you, dont listen to fandom about characters and so on and give them a chance yourself. I'm tired of people trying to turn players against certain characters and towards others in the comments 🙄🙄🙄
Ahhhh hi hi!! hope you liked the little Gale cameo during character creation😉
One of the main reasons I chose to do this playthrough as a TH-cam let’s play and not live on twitch is for exactly that reason! I want to experience the characters and their stories through my own impressions and assumptions! I know people have their favs and didn’t want that influence from a live audience! Excited to get to know them all!
Don't feel bad, I've never played any of the ME games either. 😆
Alright, time to subscribe, Mass Effect first timer, my weakness
welcome aboard!
16:39 Well, you did just nearly blow up someone with a grenade.
I've been a major player since video game stuff as a child for my disabled ass for I to the first game I was a MalShep Engineer before I making a FemShep Vanguard for second plus third and flipping the original Mass Effect trilogy on my PS3 back then to I 😊.
Love watching new people’s playthrough but the frame rate was so bad so couldn’t stay. Hope you can figure out how to fix this with your capture card. Will check back later. Have fun with your ME journey! :)
It’s fixed for ep 2!
21:03 MOSTLY peaceful farming community of course 😅
Does anyone catch the reference of Leeroy Jenkins from WoW?
Have you recognized who the voice actor is for Joker?
Little atractiva hippie from That Seventies Show back then when used to me able to seeing that funny ass show for fun to me back then for fun to I during the Nighte's for fun to me back then before graduation on June of 98 before my birthday at end of November for I back then to me.
Can't say I've ever seen someone so hot and bothered for Joker, lmao
My heart will go on... (as you will soon find out 😂)
It is IMPERATIVE that you avoid spoilers, that you *LISTEN* to advice, and that unlike some of the commenters here you are able to *tell the difference between the two concepts.*
You don't need advice on everything, obviously, but two or three simple, important, *spoiler free* notions in each game will make the difference between a mediocre, confused, largely incomplete and most importantly unsatisfying run (or possibly even incomplete), and *_having the best gaming experience of your life._*
Food for thought. 😉
All I will say is brace yourself you are in for a wild ride and look forward to watching you take it.😅
Shepard's cute, you are to, never played mass effect, just found out about it in the starcon video I think I'm hooked already put it with my FO4,and stellar blade think I'm going to enjoy it ❤❤❤😂😢 14:48 14:51 😅
Can you romance characters,like I. Fallout4 and Skyrim
Basique is incredible, it's true
He did a real Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeroy Jenkins
@basicwitgirl so...... I just decided to go and watch your playthrough of ME 1....
So....
You and Joker, huh?
Kaiden was not an ep1 love at first sight?
You wanted... Joker? 😂😂😂
I can't wait to see where it all goes downhill lol
Oh you’ll know when it happens…..
Ooh, excited to see where this goes!
Honestly, I’m so sad about Nihilus. And we barely got to know him but he seemed chill.
That’s something I like about Mass Effect that no matter how significant or insignificant the characters are , how long or how little their screen time is they’re all memorable
so excited!!!
INCREDIBLE SKILL edit = too much 🤣
INCREDIBLE SKILL😂
I would love a little 15 hour nap right now.
Same 😂
Jenkins, RIP, is the GOAT ... and Powell is the George Costanza of the Mass Effect universe.
It's not a blind mass effect playthrough without failing to finish reading the intro lol.
If possible would it have been Basique Dekarios? ❤
I WAS THINKING IT!! 😂
I wish Joker was a romance option but hes not:( youre smitten with Kaiden 😅 juuust wait till you meet the real heartthrob Garrus and his soothing voice lol
I'll be making another female Vanguard Shepard again for myself since I randomly making a FemShep Vanguard in the second plus third game I'll be flipping the trilogy first as a FemShep Vanguard before a MalShep if I ever get that opportunity for flipping this great trilogy 😜 again to I.
