Now, who here is olde enough to have played the original Baldur's Gate and been introduced to the original miniature giant space hamster, Boo? :) One of two references to that great game.
Yup. Niftu Cal. Probably my favourite bit in the whole game. Kind of sorry this video didn't bring that up. I am a great wind that will sweep all before me like a...great wind! Gets me everytime.
@@tike2006 Not 100% sure but I think it's a button press renegade option ... and if you don't do it, Wrex shoots Maya and says something about how you're getting slow. lol
Didn't you know, all Canadians have sentient eyebrows. It's how we communicate with one another. We evolved to compensate for the fact that half our language is unintelligible drunken slurs.
For me, it came out at the best time, too... AFTER I had already played out the extremely disappointing ending, and THEN we get the real send-off that was the Citadel DLC. It certainly mended a few spars of the bridge they had just fire-bombed
The only thing good about that dlc was the party and "dates" with each crew member, the story for it was cringy, Shepard fighting their clone. When people talk about how good that dlc is, it's always about the party and the interactions with everyone. I've never really seen anyone comment on how good the story was before the party. To me, it was meh, worse part of the dlc. After that, great. Where Lair of the Shadow Broker is perfect from start to finish.
@@LdyVder Yes! Finally I'm not the only one disagreeing with people calling it the best dlc, because it really isn't. Yes, the character interactions are good, but the story, locations and fights just aren't much to write home about. IMO Lair of the ShadowBroker is where the series really peaked, the action, the locations, the pacing and the in mission banter its all so good.
@@LdyVder It's definitely not supposed to be a fantastic story. It's intentionally cheesy and filled with self referential humor. I agree that Lair of Shadow Broker is one of the best, if not the best, more serious DLCs in the series.
Like, If you just want to make a game with Shepard and pals just hanging out on the citadel... I'd pony up 60$ for that. But you know.. like a week of fun I can replay like I do the citadel dlc.
I particularly like her work as Fall from Grace and Deionnara in Planescape Torment. She is actually sporting a very similar hair style in this interview :p "Time is not the enemy, forever is"
I absolutely LOVE even male Shep says "There's no Shepard without Vakarian" regardless of romance. Whether friends or love interest, Garrus is always Shepard's ride or die.
These two are the best. Jennifer Hale has such incredible range, and Mark Meer is the perfect tough guy soldier voice. Both match their characters so well, and they're one of the best protagonist voiceovers I've ever heard in a video game. I'm also playing Brutal Legend right now, totally at random, and Jen Hale is great in that as well.
I remember when i got into overwatch and heard Ashe and i was like "wait I know that voice, where do I know it from" and then I bought the legendary edition and i was like OHMYGODOFCOURSE
People don't like Kaidan much, and he's hardly my favourite character either, but the parallel conversation with him hit me really hard, less of a best friends (or lovers) moment and more just a clear-eyed appreciation of mortality. It's something like Shepard: "We're old soldiers, Kaidan. We know the score." Kaidan: "... yeah. We know the score." It's *perfectly* delivered.
That scene didn't get me anywhere near as badly as Tali's "I have a home... Come back to me." at the very end. Her last words to Shepard. Oh man that breaks me.
Same here. Gets me every time. I just love this romance option. I started playing the ME universe backwards from 3 as that was the game my husband had at the time and I didn’t know anything about this realm and fell in live with Garrus instantly
I got the Mass Effect 3 version for the first time (I'd never chosen the "investigate" option in that conversation before) and the buildup and delivery absolutely killed me!
I literally hope that doesn't happen unless they get Drew Karpyshyn to write it. He was out for Andromeda and look what happened. If these characters come back and the game is as shoddily written it will ruin every memory I have.
I never actually ever heard the “there’s no Shepard without Vakarian” line until my inaugural playthrough of the trilogy on PS4. And wow..was that a powerful moment. I found myself in tears after that line. Honestly the trilogy as a whole hit differently playing it all over again on PS4. But that one moment…I think it has to be my favorite Shepard and Vakarian moment in the entire trilogy.
It's a great one ! Although I do prefer the banther they give each other when shooting bottles from the top of the Citadel skyline. "Raise your hand if you havn't been killed before !"
One of my personal favorites is about the bomb during Thane's Loyalty Mission. :D Shepard: What am I doing here? What are you doing here? Stock Boy: What...? Shepard: Do you have any idea, how dangerous it is here? Stock Boy: Dangerous? Shepard: Get out of here! Now! Before it blows! Stock Boy: Blows? What the... Shepard: RUN!!! Stock Boy: Alright! *runs off.* Shepard: *laughs.* I can't belive that actually worked.
The convo female Shepard has in ME3 when she is in a relationship with Thane, in ME2, when Thane's son translates what she didn't understand brought me to tears 😭
Maybe she was unaware of that because she didn't provide any voice lines and femshep sort of just shed tears in silence. She probably hasn't played the game either.
@@squares4u I've played as both male shep is underrated he's so good and has some really funny lines but I love fem shep just as much i think they both have lines they do best plus Default Femshep is a babe honest to god on my second playthrough of the legendary edition when I started as fem shep first word I said was Goddamn femsheps a babe because default femshep from mass effect 3 is now usable in Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 she never used to be but u welcome the addition
Renegade Femshep >>>> Renegade MaleShep. I love Mark Meer, don't get me wrong, but there's just something so cold and menacing in Jennifer's renegade voice lines. It fits SO perfectly.
The Garrus goodbye brings tears to my eyes every time I play the game. At the end of the trilogy the crewmates feel like actual family & knowing that it is the last conversation with them really hits you
And if you didn't then in 3 it turns out she was indoctrinated and murders several asari military officials, so shooting her would have been a good decision.
He actually did on the zoom reunion they had the other day! They even had Alli (Liara) say the Reaper Doomsday Device line, but she didn't know what it was from 😂
There's a mod that lets you find a huge pile of spectre issue armor and weapons laid out in the Spectre outpost for you to pick up and Shepard says 'and this is my favorite store on the citadel' when she sees it. It's hilarious. Because the note implies you're supposed to share with Kaiden/Ashley and Shepard just grabs it all like a greedy gut!
@@Darchias While you need to source your own gear and it's not 'issued' per se, there's Spectre-only authorized weapons & armor sold by the C-Sec requisitions officer after Shep becomes a Spectre.
One of my favorite moments from femshep is the moment where she gets told the fact the Normandy is so well maintained that the 30 minute preflight check is unnecessary.
This is probably the best video to have ever existed ever. Messing around of course but this was really nice to see! such fond memories of this game like many others do
What I liked the most was that their lines weren't always the same and delivery was often different too. A lot of games nowadays try to make two playable characters out of gender choice since both are voiced, but Mark and Jen actually pulled it off with one.
That is the true ending of the game we all wanted. Sure the main story was about fighting the Reapers but the true story lay in the friendships we formed along the way.
I recently bought an audiobook for no other reason than Jennifer Hale did the narration, and it turned out to be the best book I've read/listened to in a long time. "To Sleep in a Sea of Stars", by Christopher Paolini.
Jen, Mark and his wife should narrated Beyond the Aquila Rift short story from Alastair Reynolds it has a lot of ME vibes. Ps: You can check the adaptation of this story in the first season of Love + Death +Robots on Netflix.
"Put more of the stuff in the thing.....more stuff goes in" is still the single best line in the trilogy. I love Garrus' "My name is Garrus Vakarian and this is my favorite spot on the Citadel!" but that line tops it.
I played the trilogy as femshep and I cried because you can tell how much emotion there is in the voice lines and ngl after three games with my crew, I'm glad I cried. Brilliant trilogy, brilliant cast of VA's. Can't wait for 4
I had no Idea that Mark did so many other voices in the series. Mark & Jennifer Thank you for voicing & bringing life to one of the most Iconic Video Game Characters in History.
One of my favorites is a renegade line "I wonder what sound your body will make when it hits the payment. I wonder if you'll hear it before you die." In me2 when you're in the tower on illium to recruit thane. But there are so many gems throughout the trilogy. These two did so amazing.
I wonder if they are aware of the Commander Shepard curator on steam who reviews every game with "I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite game on Steam."
On my playthrough I played a female Shepard. So it was nice to see more of the male side of the voice acting. Didn't know he did so many voices in the game.
Love these two. Love the games. It's obvious how dear this franchise is to them as well. Makes me wish we could play as the Commander Shepards in future games too.
Kudos to both of you for helping to create the most astounding adventure I've ever experienced. So many people are streaming the Legendary Edition on TH-cam, and to see how they bond with Shepard and the other characters is a testament to the voice work in those games. Thank you both!
Aww man, they didn't talk about the ""we'll bang, okay" line. I mean, I get its not actually in the game but its still just as memorable as all the others and Mark Meer has said it himself a few times.
I have played it like 10 times now, and playing it through again, and I'm right in the Citadel DLC and I'm laughing my butt off for the 11th time 😆 Best. Cast. Ever ❤
The Citadel DLC in indeed a huge love letter to all the fans, and we all needed it too. It's easily the best and most emotionally resonant game experience I've ever had, and packed with gifts to us players. SO GOOD. And there would be no Mass Effect without these fantastic voice actors. Thank you.
This was great thanks ;) However, all I could keep thinking about was all the Manslayer videos over the years, sorry but it's too ingrained to NOT think about this when ever I see any kind of Mass Effect video now a days.
So a bit late to make a comment, but I FINALLY got the ME LE! I am waiting impatiently for it to finish downloading. Thank you Mark and Jennifer for all the great memories. Mass Effect is my favorite trilogy!
Honestly, it's funny to see how their favorite/most remembered lines are so far from the way I 'played them'. Like my version of femShep was an unhinged badass who progressively became more and more understanding and less cynical as I went through the games (without ever truly losing that ungined-ness). Whereas male Shepard was just a goodie two shoes boy scout who ever so slightly snapped at times as the games progressed.
My favorite line requires context. During the firing line scene in the Citadel DLC, any one of the characters can say a line after they’re done shooting; if Javik say the line he says, “What primitives lack in accuracy, they make up for in ammunition.” What makes this line hilarious, however, is that the scene is an in-engine cutscene, and I guess they messed up Javik’s orientation because while everyone else is shooting the mercenaries, he’s dumping all three rounds from his shotgun into the wall about six inches away from him; you can even see the bullet holes in the wall while he’s saying his line.
I'm so happy this showed up on my youtube cause this is my favorite game series of all time and i love seeing how they have fun with it Jennifer hale is one of my favorite voice actors I love this game so much still, this game kept me company when i was alone and had no friends :")
I didn't realize that Mark Meer was married to WELCOME TO ALLIANCE MILITARY DATABASE.
And Rana (the Asari on Virmire)

My favorite exchange with Mark's Shepard is with Drunk Tali in ME3.

I like it when, if you're romancing her, she goes on to say that her dad would have hated you lol
I love the Emergency Induction Port.
''Don't aaah meee''
The Vorcha were actually voiced by him. So Tali wasn't wrong
I didn’t expect Mark Meer to look like a Canadian David Tennant with sentient eyebrows.
Mark Meer is Canadian.
Judging by his decor, I bet he's a DM too.

Particularly one that'll always be in my memory is Bastila Shan, what a game

Love these two. Love the games. It's obvious how dear this franchise is to them as well. Makes me wish we could play as the Commander Shepards in future games too.
Waiting for the new Blasto movie come Mass Effect 5
I got to say "I should go" to Jennifer Hale at NYCC a few years back. I HAD to do it.
If I ever meet Jenn Hale, It'll be like Wahlberg meeting Sam Jones in TED. "Thank you for saving every one of us, Commander."
Kudos to both of you for helping to create the most astounding adventure I've ever experienced. So many people are streaming the Legendary Edition on TH-cam, and to see how they bond with Shepard and the other characters is a testament to the voice work in those games. Thank you both!
Fun video.
I recently played through the Legendary Edition and it was a blasto.
I love this love shown here! I am (a) Commander Shepard, wishing you all a great time on N7 Day!
I should go.
I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favourite upload on N7 day
I honestly didn't know that they had them say "I should go" over and over again, dunno what to feel about that, probably dedication from their part
One of the best things my friends has done is get Mark Meer send me a happy birthday video, it was one of the best gifts I've ever gotten!
Man,I love the ME trilogy. Shame it did not have a sequel, until a recent announcement anyway.
Shepard Commander, thank you for giving us such a unforgettable experience and improving our lives.
I love how Mark’s always got that look on his face.
Watching these two see their own voice work and comment is the stuff of legends. This is awesome
It’s funny how they both also did the main characters from The Long Dark
Is it Commander Shepards or Commanders Shepard? Well, either way, we love you both!
Latest scenes with Garrus?! He's in the next game? :D
i think she meant the final mass effect 3 scenes :(
Man i wish they gave marks wife more parts in mass effect. Mass effect 1 character creation was so iconic and she has a really interesting voice
Aww man, they didn't talk about the ""we'll bang, okay" line. I mean, I get its not actually in the game but its still just as memorable as all the others and Mark Meer has said it himself a few times.
This video just made my day... ❤️❤️
Thanks to the Mass Effect team..... 😍😍
"the best..." in the DLC Citadel gets me everytime. This was delivered very well. And his work im ME trilogy was superb.
I have played it like 10 times now, and playing it through again, and I'm right in the Citadel DLC and I'm laughing my butt off for the 11th time 😆 Best. Cast. Ever ❤
So many good lines so little time happy n7 day
Next n7 day the cast should come together for a Reunion
One of my favorite parts of the Citadel DLC was when Traynor used her biotic toothbrush to save the day.
The Citadel DLC in indeed a huge love letter to all the fans, and we all needed it too. It's easily the best and most emotionally resonant game experience I've ever had, and packed with gifts to us players. SO GOOD. And there would be no Mass Effect without these fantastic voice actors. Thank you.
I love how invested they are in Mass Effect, you can tell how much passion went into those games lol
This was great thanks ;)
However, all I could keep thinking about was all the Manslayer videos over the years, sorry but it's too ingrained to NOT think about this when ever I see any kind of Mass Effect video now a days.
Citadel and Leviathan were amazing DLC. All quick whips and responses on the shore leave quest from all the crew was amazing.
loved it! thanks gamespot! and than you so much Jen and Mark! you guys killed it!
Happy n7 day Everyone!

- Commander Shepard
Love mass effect day1 fan!!! I remember playing the original 100 times on my xbox 360 memories ill have forever
This is my favourite Shepard on the Citadel.
the ME trilogy is something so special and so well made, it is hard to imagine any game or series matching it
So a bit late to make a comment, but I FINALLY got the ME LE! I am waiting impatiently for it to finish downloading. Thank you Mark and Jennifer for all the great memories. Mass Effect is my favorite trilogy!
I didn’t know Mark did those other voices now I’m so glad I can’t unhear it now
Mark reminds me of an older Matt Mercer.
Honestly, it's funny to see how their favorite/most remembered lines are so far from the way I 'played them'. Like my version of femShep was an unhinged badass who progressively became more and more understanding and less cynical as I went through the games (without ever truly losing that ungined-ness). Whereas male Shepard was just a goodie two shoes boy scout who ever so slightly snapped at times as the games progressed.
My favorite line from the entire trilogy is the vorcha Councilor: "PROTHEAN NO LIKE YOU!"
My favorite line requires context. During the firing line scene in the Citadel DLC, any one of the characters can say a line after they’re done shooting; if Javik say the line he says, “What primitives lack in accuracy, they make up for in ammunition.” What makes this line hilarious, however, is that the scene is an in-engine cutscene, and I guess they messed up Javik’s orientation because while everyone else is shooting the mercenaries, he’s dumping all three rounds from his shotgun into the wall about six inches away from him; you can even see the bullet holes in the wall while he’s saying his line.
New mass effect game incoming and then her saying, “When we recorded the latest scene with Garrus” have me hyped!
Oh my gosh, that scene between Shepard and Garrus always gets me, and I've played this game thousands of times.
" I SHOULD go" "i should Go" "Do I really sound like that" Ya'll at that part of the story I was crying laughing 😂
I'm so happy this showed up on my youtube cause this is my favorite game series of all time and i love seeing how they have fun with it
Jennifer hale is one of my favorite voice actors
I love this game so much still, this game kept me company when i was alone and had no friends :")
You both have been such a huge part of my video gaming for the last 15 years!! Thank you for so many awesome memories!! Hope to see you both in ME4
All of the likes for this video. You guys are awesome. The voices that entertained me for many....many hours!
