To everyone who has been here since day 1 or has stumbled in along the way, thank you for joining me on this journey through the stars. To everyone popping in for the first time, welcome and I hope you go back and watch the whole journey! 1 ♥ = 1 Autumn at the Orchard for Sniper Girl and her Biotic Boyfriend🍁
❤️ The gameplay was absolutely fantastic! The ending is what it is, but there a lot of rewards on the way if you engage enough and make conscious decisions and you really pulled through! Can't wait for the next one 😊
It's a lot easier to get the "secret ending" in the legendary edition...had to put in tons of hours playing the weird multiplayer on the original to get enough war assets. Also, it was the only way that Shep lives.
You did it. You did Anderson proud. You kept your promise to Kaidan. I think you made the right decision. Congratulations! I hope you loved your first playthrough of the trilogy as much as I did.
The old man on the snowy planet with his grandson was voiced by Buzz Aldrin, part of the Apollo 11 mission and the second man on the moon after Neil Armstrong.
The stakes are so high in Mass Effect, you really feel like you are saving the galaxy from ending. Kind of makes villains and conflict in other games look like small potatoes in comparison.
Your stream has been such a pleasure! Not to throw shade at other ship lovers, but it’s so hard to find streamers that romance Kaidan. Your commentary throughout has been a blast. As someone who played the games when they were initially released. I think there’s something special about experiencing this type of game. It’s impossible to get that first impression back, but watching streamers do a blind run is hella close. I’m so excited to watch you play through Andromeda and see who you romance. I’ll be watching your Dragon Age playthrough, too, as a die-hard BioWare fangirly. Thank you so much for such a wonderful stream. P.S. - I was an absolute goner when you said “I’ll be right back” to Kaidan during his evacuation.
@@basicwitgirl don't worry once a year we gather together to share a hug and sometimes pics. Tomorrow i'll show the space hamster that i made on crochet 😁
This game is very special to me, and I feel so incredibly lucky to have found my perfect playthrough. Thank you so much for taking us on this amazing journey with you. It's been a privilege and an honor, Commander Basique 💕
I chose destroy as well. I didn't want any reapers to survive. This trilogy saved my life. In 2007 i came back from my first tour in Afghanistan. Lost good friends. I was broken, lost. Then this game shows up and drags me out of the darkness across this epic journey... In three of the best games i have ever played, my choices in it revealed more about me, then any other game ever did. Nothing has come close since. And i cried...alot!
One of us! :) And now you get to wait for the sequel like the rest of us. N7 (November 7th) day is almost here too, you'll get to see the teasers and info about it live with the rest of us. Some year soon, we'll have more Shepard, you'll see!
I'm not crying, y'all are... Day one, but stumbled upon your channel during ME2. It's been a pleasure to watch you go through and fall in love with this gem of a trilogy. These blind playthroughs are so special to me. I get to live these games vicariously through others to get that "first time" feeling, and you delivered on that front and beyond. Thank you, Basic. Also, shoutout to Taylor and her fire edits. What a legend 👏. The whole final stretch of this is so intense and so well done. The stakes are so high. You can finally hear Shepard's voice really quiver at the thanix missle part, trying to stay strong and push. There's losses and near losses. The "goodbye" conversations and you having to leave behind Kaidan, Garrus, and everyone else hurt my heart. EDI says she feels alive, thanks to you... I hope EDI can be recovered, but GFUCKING getting the perfect destroy ending. You did good. Anderson is proud of you along with us. RIP Dadmiral Anderson 😢. Ugh. I could use a drink after that 😅 Wonderful playthrough. From under the normandy LED 🫡 💙
Mass Effect has been one of my household games and each and every time i play the series myself I get so sappy and cry my eyes out. Thank you so much for doing the entire series. Thank you so much. 💕💕💕💕
Once again, I'm so happy someone mentioned you on Tumblr. It's been wonderful watching you go through the trilogy, and to fall in love with Kaidan. This trilogy is something incredibly special, and I'm glad to have you as a fellow Commander. "Tell me another story about the Shepard." "It's getting late, but all right. One more story..." *Player starts Mass Effect 1*
I'm not sure how to quite express just how grateful I am for your playthrough of this game. It's how I found your channel, it's how I found your community. I'm so sad it's over but I am SO SO HAPPY that you shared this experience with us! 😭😭😭
I think yours is the first playthough that caught on that the love interest balking at putting up the plaque means Shepard survived. Congrats on getting to the orchard.
Thank you for sharing with us the experience of playing through all of Mass Effect. One of the best, most genuine, most funny, most heartfelt playthroughs of the series that I've ever seen. And of course, it had to be you, as someone else might've gotten it wrong ❤️
Thank you so much Basic for playing this game! I loved watching every second and how much you love Kaiden just like I do. You have brightened my weeks with your playthrough and I cant believe it is all over. Crying along with you!
Hey basic, thanks for letting us join you on this playthrough. I especially like how you connected with the characters and gave each of them a fair chance. Also, shout out to your editor for adding all of the memorable touches to the videos!
It's been awesome to see you make your choices through out the game, reminds me of the first time ME trailer I saw. "Many decisions lie ahead, none of the easy". Thank you for playing my favorite game! You are the best Basic 😊
I've absolutely LOVED going on this journey with you. I've watched about a dozen ME playthroughs, but yours has been one of my favorites. Looking forward to your Dragon Age playthrough, as well as your Andromeda playthrough (if you choose to record it).
It's made my heart hurt so good how many people have said this playthrough is among their favorites! Truly honored that so many enjoyed Basique Shep's journey through the stars💕 I'm planning on streaming Andromeda as soon as I wrap up Final Fantasy 16!
I’m sitting here at work, typing away, crying in my corner, trying not to ball my eyes out. I’ve played this game so many times and every time it still hits so hard. I’m so happy that you played this game and got to experience the wonderful, heartbreakingly awesome, story your way. Can’t wait for Dragon Age! It’s a very story rich game as well.
I would like to point out that there is one more mass effect game called "mass effect Andromeda" but from my perspective it doesn't carry the same gravity that the original trilogy does. And on a side note, I'm glad that you'll be replaying because I want you to experience the other romances and all the other scenes
My last comment on a ME video while I get ready for Dragon Age…thank you Basic and Taylor for all your hard work behind the scenes editing this beautiful playthrough! Commander Basique we haven’t seen the last of her yet! 🎉😊
Thank you for sharing your first play through with us ❤ Yours has been one of my favorites; you’ve approached it with all the care and love that I would want for my favorite game series, and I’m so glad it’s touched your heart in the same way it has for so many. And I hope you’ll do another some day! I’ll be subscribed and watching til then! 😊
YOU ARE TOO KIND! It's blown my mind how many people have said this playthrough was one of their favs! Thank you for being here on the journey with me and I'm glad I could do the series justice 💕
@@basicwitgirlIt was really really great! Welcome to the family haha! Also, would love to hear your reaction to the original final dialogue with Anderson that was cut from the game -it’s a real tearjerker for sure. There are mods that restore it and I’d highly recommend watching a clip!
I binged your ME1 playthrough about the time you started ME2 and have been following ever since. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series. It's one of the best I've watched. Glad you got your happy ending for Shep and Kaiden. Looking forward to your DA playthrough.
LOVED LOVED LOVED your playthrough of this game! One my favorite playthroughs yet! This game is very special indeed and I'm so happy you enjoyed your journey through it! So looking forward to your dragon age playthrough! Mass effect and dragon age are my all time 2 favorite game series!!
This has been an amazing journey. Thank you taking us aboard. Looking forward to Dragon Age. I've never completed the first game, but I think I'd settle for watching the first chapter and maybe picking up from a more recent installment.
I am really sad to actually see it end. Such a journey for you and all of us who were along for the ride. Seeing your sassy renegade Shep through the early parts begin the slide towards Paragon as the story and characters came alive for you put a smile on my face. No game I have played ever made me feel as strongly as this one. I loved each and every episode you and Taylor crafted for us. Thank you!
I couldn't be there for these final premieres and I may need to miss the fun times on Thursday because my life demands it right now, but girl I was right there crying with you on this Monday evening! This has been my favourite playthrough of the series and I found a really cool creator and community along the way, it's been cool to witness your growth throughout the series and seeing someone love something as much as you do is an amazing feeling. BASIQUE AND KAIDAN FOREVER 😭❤
K YOU ARE SO WONDERFUL AND LOVELY AND I'M TEARING UP AGAIN OVER THIS COMMENT! I'm so glad you stumbled upon my silly little playthrough and that it was about to bring you so much happiness (and just a few tears) ❤
This has been such a ride, basic. I'm so happy I found your channel when you were barely a few episodes in ME1. Also, finding so much love for Kaidan has been such a blow of fresh air. I really needed it ❤ I'm incredibly sad that it's over (although having DA coming next helps a lot hahahaha) but incredibly happy that you loved It so much. Thanks to you and Taylor for bringing so much joy (and loads of tears too) every Monday and Thursday ❤️ Now... A while back, you asked about our music and playlists for ME and I shared with you a song I think it's perfect for femShep and Kaidan. Now that you have finished, I can share my fave Shenko fanvid that uses that song hehehehe. Enjoy reminiscing ❤ th-cam.com/video/ZG7Lb-4NvbQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kzCyapHbaOYsPHFR
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for being here on the journey with me! I'm so glad so many Kaidan lovers found the playthrough and we could all squeal and kick our feetsies over him together!!❤️ AWWWH THIS VIDEO WAS SO GOOD!!! thank you for sharing!!
Fyi, Bioware officially confirmed that Shepard indeed survives the Destroy ending. Anyway, I think you should definitely react to the other endings. Each one is unique.
I just found your channel through this video, and I haven't watched your entire playthrough of the series, but I have been skipping around to see some highlights. I just really wanted to say I appreciate you being such a Kaidan simp because he honestly doesn't get enough love and sometimes I feel like I'm defending him myself out here, so thank you 😂😭❤ You're incredibly fun to watch and I look forward to checking out more of your videos!
HI WELCOME!!! I love love love how many Kaidanmancers (AlenkHoes, as I like to say) have found the playthrough! I'll be up on my soapbox for him until the day I die!
@@basicwitgirl LOL as you should should!!! AlenkHoes is absolutely GOLDEN 😂 In another video you mentioned you would replay the party again, might I suggest during the debate between Biotics and Physical with James and Liara, pick Physical for a spicy line between Shepard and Kaidan 😉 And I saw that you had a lil crush on our favorite merc Zaeed, I very recently discovered this voice line and I would love for you to see it too! th-cam.com/video/Jw2-d55UJEs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CnU6W_HwEyRkaX2i Finally, I know you just finished so everything is fresh, but if you ever get around to replaying the series, I HIGHLY recommend Garrus' romance as well. I get it, he was my platonic space bro on my first playthrough too, but if you can get into a different mind set and go after him, it's super worth it too! 😄
@ yeah as soon as I saw your reaction to how much TIM pissed you off I kinda knew where you were going. Also after you play through the chill citadel party, I would recommend reacting to the other romances, especially Garrus, as well as the other endings and Paradise Lost.
ty basic and taylor for an amazing journey. These episodes have been the highlights of my online life for idek how long now, and I look forward to the future with bwg's content as the permanent rotation. Basique and Kaidan will always have the orchard.
“You did good…I’m proud of you”. Congratulations on resisting the indoctrination of the space kid and destroying the reapers. Also congrats on getting the happy ending! I can’t believe we’re here and it’s all over. I enjoyed you play through immensely and look forward to dragon age and beyond. Maybe a renegade Shepard? 😬
Mass Effect was such a classic game of my childhood on the 360, especially 2 and 3, and it was a real treat to play all the dlcs blindly for the first time in the Legendary Edition, and make it the 4th game I have 100%ed. I think despite its reception that 3 is my favorite one of the 3 games, because of the hard choices and sacrifices you have to make to win this war, be it Mordin, Legion, Wrex, or Tali, and the heartfelt moments, like Tali saying that Geth have souls, or Anderson saying that we did good.
This has been the most amazing ride. Thanks for all the laughs, tears and of course all the Kaidan love!🥹 This playthrough became an important part of my week and I'm honestly so sad now that it's over.😭 But I also look forward to watching you delve into the world of Dragon Age🐉 and experience it as it's also one of my favorite game series!🥰
This is more than a game for me, it is very special, one of those chosen ones that transcend the condition of a game and become an entire experience. It was very exciting to relive it with you because of the way you felt it in each chapter. By the way, every once in a while I re-enter this universe and let myself be carried away by its imagination, and now I'm getting the urge again. Greetings.
Oh man what a journey it has been! So glad to have gone through your Mass Effect playthrough (alternatively, your romance arc with Kaidan with some war going on in the background lol). Looking forward to the second Citadel party (canon ending).
1:37:21 "That can't be it" >You should watch the original ending that had the fandom upset (and that's an understatement). Additionally; I highly recommend watching videos of choices you didn't make (and know that you have no intention of doing so in future playthroughs). Lastly, you skipped the credits, so you missed the fact that Stargazer (the old man talking to he kid post-credits) was voiced by Buzz Aldrin. Now onto Andromeda Age Origins!
I’ve never, and I don’t mean this in a bad way, seen someone have an emotional roller coaster as you did. Well welcome to the Mass Effect Cult!! I really enjoyed your play through you have a fun quirky view. Thanks for sharing your play through, I will definitely continue to check out your content!!

Note to self, don't do the ME1 "I remember me" mission just before watching you say the final goodbyes to the rest of your crew. James was outside with the other soldiers. If you had not walked Cortez through his grief he would have died when he was shot down. Not a single engineer looked at those docking arms and thought 'gee when deployed they just happen to match the ring of the Citadel'? So many, including me, a computer science major, never once stopped to wonder were the hardware is that the Leviathan's AI runs on. That just might explain my comment about no engineer above. I have a theory about the Geth surviving. They know what Sovereign told Shepard about Reaper technology being a trap (Legion says so). If I were them I would have turned to creating hardware that was not Reaper based and they have had two and a half years to find a solution/bypass. The theme of this game is set with Jenkins, Ashley's squamates, Nihlus, a creepy prophet/mad scientist (who either got to close to the beacon, or was hyper-vulnerable to indoctrination) and dead colonists in the first hour of game play. It is death and loss and then we see Lovecraftian cosmic horror elements by way of Husks and the giant space shellfish called Sovereign thrown on top of those deaths.
It is so funny that you say "that can't be it" at the end when the ship is crashed and you think that the generic will spawn. Because this actually "was it" originately in 2012 when the game was released. It triggered so much gamers anger, that they made the "extended ending" which are all the sequences that you can see after this scene. BTW, lovely playtrought, you are really funny to watch.
Fun Fact: for a time, the scene where the few crew members (Joker, Kaiden, and Garris in your case) walk off the Normandy and out to that jungle on that new planet actually WAS the way ME3 ended. It went straight to credits and then concluded with the grandpa and grandson scene. This was what had sparked the big controversy to the game. Several months later, Bioware added the "extended ending", which includes the scenes that summerize your playthrough along with the memorial. It also included the final farewell scene where Shepard evacs his/her injured companions onto the Normandy, Admiral Hacket's, "Holy shit," scene, and Joker being told the Normandy has to leave Shepard behind so they can escape the Catalyst's blast.
Fun tidbit about that ending scene (besides the Buzz Aldrin thing): the model used for the child in that scene is just an adult model sized down halfway.
the thing with the kid... the only time he's ever real is the very first time you see him, playing with a toy ship. when you find him in the rubble, after Shepard leaves, the camera pans back to his hiding spot to show that it's utterly destroyed with no place for him to stand, let alone hide. no one helps him on to the rescue ship- weird right? because he's NOT THERE. it's not a coincidence that the "control" ending is colored paragon blue and "destroy" is colored renegade red.
I looove Mass Effect trilogy. I enjoyed the playthrough and you did do it justice. Was hard being composed at certain scenes and your emotions even made my eyes water up sometimes. I'll be watching for your next content. Thank you again for all the hours of entertainment.
epic reaction Basic @ 01:41:34 ... you are alive *cheers .. interessting I saw Lucyrobin in the chat epic ... as many here I did all the other endings, I wonder if you will watch them on yt, it's worth but maybee heartbreaking thinking of Tali omg wtf ... you can watch my tribute "MASS EFFECT Reprise - "I know what ... you ... did" (Massive Spoiler Warning)" but better watch all the endings, control, killing the catalyst kid, synthesis .... before cause it's maybee to heavy to see .. Thanks al lot for the Playtrougth from Germany 3728 Miles at the other side of our planet 🙂*cheeers
One of the most emotional walkthroughs with immersion in game lore. Thank you for completing my favorite space opera. 👍 It is unfortunate that the original script was changed after the departure of lead screenwriter Drew Karpyshyn between ME2 and ME3. Many people do not pay attention to the name of the game, but it seems to hint at the plot. Initially, the task of the reapers was to find a solution to the problem of using the zero element, which caused more dark matter to appear in the ME universe, which causes premature aging of stars. This was hinted at in the first ME, then in ME2 Tali talked about it in her recruitment mission. And then it turns out to be a "vicious circle", when the reapers themselves use the zero element, their repeaters, etc. And it will not be possible to completely eradicate it from the galaxy either, there are ruins of old civilizations built on the same technology everywhere. New civilizations will find them sooner or later anyway, like people on Mars, for example. And the only way the reapers came to is a cyclical "harvest" in the form of civilizations that have developed technically enough and "conservation" them in the form of a reaper. This solves two tasks at once, from the point of view of cold calculation of AI, of course - the preservation of civilization, its culture, DNA, etc. in the form of a reaper, and the suppression of the use of the zero element by civilizations every 50,000 years for a while. No other solution has been found for millions of years. And this question is really difficult. It seems that either the screenwriters themselves did not find a solution to this question, or they considered the game's audience too stupid for difficult questions and replaced it with the fact that the AI reapers themselves, who "collect" civilizations so that they would not have time to create their own AI... By the way, destroying one reaper completely destroys a unique ancient civilization, it is a pity that none of the players thinks much about this moral issue. But here again, the question is to the ME3 scriptwriters that they did not disclose this topic to the players, although there were attempts in ME1 and ME2, for example, the Sovereign said that each of them is a separate nation, independent, etc. Thanks again! 👍
Congrats on completing the trilogy - you did this play-through justice and earned your N7 stripes! Now you can enjoy the fun of occasionally going back and trying other options and maybe even a modded run as those are easy to set up on PC and fun to play.
Basic, I am so haaapppyy for your amazing journey, and I am so grateful for finding you and your amazing energy!!! It like watching best friend ❤❤❤❤ guurrrlll I react the same every time I see Kaidan 😂❤🎉 I look forward to see your next playthrough, sending happy vibes. Your loyal friend from Latvia 😊❤❤❤
I love how you finished the series off with Shep and Kaidan in his quarters like everything was sunshine and rainbows after the destroy ending! Thanks for the ride Commander Basique, it was a memorable one!
Grats on getting done with your first playthrough of the Mass Effect Trigoly. I enjoyed watching your journey and I look forward to watching you play the Dragon Age games.
I found your channel thanks to the Kaidan subreddit when you were almost through with the first Mass Effect. I've always loved Kaidan, but it's always been hard to find people who even liked him, much less romanced him through all 3 games. Thanks for showing so much love to our golden retriever biotic space husband. 😊 This is has been my favorite playthrough of Mass Effect. You did really well for a blind playthrough! If you have the time, it is always worth a replay to try out different classes and romances. Kaidan is by far my favorite, but almost all of the others have their merits as well. The fling with Diana isn't worth it for example 😂 The endings are still controversial and argued over to this day, as you could see in chat today. I don't want to argue more about them because almost all of us have made up our minds about which we prefer at this point. I will say this though: you chose the correct ending for retirement in the orchard. Shepard only survives if you pick Destroy, and only then if you have enough War Assests. I forget the exact amount needed for LE, but you reached it without nitpicking for every point. Who needs Diana Allers anyway? 😂 And now The Normandy makes it back to Earth, Shepard recovers from her injuries, and she and Kaidan retire and have a big wedding at the orchard. No one can tell me otherwise!! I am so sad to see this playthrough end, because Mass Effect is so special. At the same time, I am super excited for Dragon Age. Bioware isn't done with their emotional damage yet. 😆
Bless the KaidanAlenko subreddit for real!! So many wonderful community members stumbled in here because of it! Yes, I 1000% agree that Shep and Kaidan are living happily ever after in that orchard. No one will be able to tell me otherwise!!
Awesome! So many chose either synthesis or control and not the destroy ending! I hope you had a great experience! And I look forward to seeing Mass Effect Continue! If you choose to play ME Andromeda, it's an ok story but no where near as great as this trilogy! Hopefully N7 day will bring us good news!
I wanted to share a personal experience of my own. Actually I did not let Javik touch the Echo Shard. In that case, he has two other plans after the war. If you stopped the arguing between him and Liara and did not let him touch the Echo Shard, he starts to write a book with Liara. And they title as "Journeys with the Prothean". And if you did not stopped the arguing between Javik and Liara and also did not let him touch the Echo Shard, he plans to go to the Hanar Homeworld and become a King there. 😄
😂 Dam, I know it's sad, the final Kaidan kiss, but BWG expression and reaction is priceless. I feel for ya💐 But I will say your entertainment of this play through was cool, you got charisma and delicious too the eyes! Commander Sniper Girl😄👍✌
So glad your experience of the ME fandom was a good one. In a couple of playthroughs I watched recently, the poor TH-camrs were quite distressed by the end, because of abuse they received from online trolls. Your comments at the end went a long way towards restoring my faith in the ME community. I think you said you'd made a save so you could replay the party. Will you be putting that on TH-cam? The first part doesn't change much, but as it progresses there are a lot of new lines/scenarios that are well worth seeing. Anyway, thanks for sharing your first playthrough with us. It's always a privilege to see someone experience these games for the first time.
Thank you for playing my favorite game of all- time. If you decide to go back and play again as infiltrator, the most damage per second you can do is "cloak -> energy drain -> sniper shot", or "cloak -> sticky grenade to debuff a boss -> sniper shot". Coming from cloak then doing a sniper shot multiplies its damage. And if you can find the Valiant X sniper rifle, you're unstoppable.
I'm hoping for a new protag, I think! As much as I LOVE Jennifer Hale as femShep, I think she has earned a lovely retirement after saving the galaxy 3 times 💕
WELL during my very first playthrough of ME3 I did what you intended to do on the begining of the conversation with the catalyst. The secret ending was spectacular. XD
Destroy is typical playthrough ending so well done. Maybe do another playthrough and make different choices and play on harder difficulty. Glad you enjoyed the game.
No Shepard, don't wave that gun in front of the kid. I know you were just kidding about shooting the kid and of course you never seriously thought about it. But make your choice and run to the desk, and DON'T TURN AROUND to face the child.
Even though, you basic missed the radio communications where those soldiers reported a patrol with 100% KIA, or the girl trying to stop a soldier bleeding, right before being found by the repears..... Years a go I lost it ...
Great job with sharing your version of Shepard with us. It was a blast. Control is my favoured ending as it doesn't kill the geth or EDI, and for me this is where my Shepard's story ends. I don't want Shepard back in the next game, but I know most of the fandom does.
Control Ending would work here, Shepard would just be watching Kaiden 24/7 anyway and all the Reapers would just be busy not letting a woman within a 10 mile radius of Kaiden. Poor Kaiden, but the rest of humanity would be saved and everything would go back to the way it was.
To everyone who has been here since day 1 or has stumbled in along the way, thank you for joining me on this journey through the stars. To everyone popping in for the first time, welcome and I hope you go back and watch the whole journey!

The gameplay was absolutely fantastic! The ending is what it is, but there a lot of rewards on the way if you engage enough and make conscious decisions and you really pulled through! Can't wait for the next one 😊
It's a lot easier to get the "secret ending" in the legendary edition...had to put in tons of hours playing the weird multiplayer on the original to get enough war assets.
Also, it was the only way that Shep lives.
The irony is that if you don't pester Javik into reliving the past, he won't end up "joining" his men.
One of the few renegade choices I always pick.
if Shepard had a nickle for each time she survived falling from orbit she'd have two nickles. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice.
Ha! Love the reference there...😂
You did it. You did Anderson proud. You kept your promise to Kaidan. I think you made the right decision. Congratulations! I hope you loved your first playthrough of the trilogy as much as I did.
ANDERSON 😭

The old man on the snowy planet with his grandson was voiced by Buzz Aldrin, part of the Apollo 11 mission and the second man on the moon after Neil Armstrong.
The stakes are so high in Mass Effect, you really feel like you are saving the galaxy from ending. Kind of makes villains and conflict in other games look like small potatoes in comparison.
Your stream has been such a pleasure! Not to throw shade at other ship lovers, but it’s so hard to find streamers that romance Kaidan. Your commentary throughout has been a blast. As someone who played the games when they were initially released. I think there’s something special about experiencing this type of game. It’s impossible to get that first impression back, but watching streamers do a blind run is hella close. I’m so excited to watch you play through Andromeda and see who you romance. I’ll be watching your Dragon Age playthrough, too, as a die-hard BioWare fangirly. Thank you so much for such a wonderful stream.
P.S. - I was an absolute goner when you said “I’ll be right back” to Kaidan during his evacuation.
I'm so happy that so many Kaidanmancers have found the channel!! I've loved squealing over that biotic angel baby boy with you all☺💕
Congratulations you are now one of us Welcome to the trauma N7 Club 🎉
It's great (terrible) to be here 😂
@@basicwitgirl don't worry once a year we gather together to share a hug and sometimes pics. Tomorrow i'll show the space hamster that i made on crochet 😁
This game is very special to me, and I feel so incredibly lucky to have found my perfect playthrough. Thank you so much for taking us on this amazing journey with you. It's been a privilege and an honor, Commander Basique 💕
OUCH MY HEART!! Honored to have you along for the ride 💕
I chose destroy as well. I didn't want any reapers to survive.
This trilogy saved my life. In 2007 i came back from my first tour in Afghanistan. Lost good friends. I was broken, lost. Then this game shows up and drags me out of the darkness across this epic journey... In three of the best games i have ever played, my choices in it revealed more about me, then any other game ever did. Nothing has come close since. And i cried...alot!
I wish more people acknowledged just how important video games can be
One of us! :) And now you get to wait for the sequel like the rest of us. N7 (November 7th) day is almost here too, you'll get to see the teasers and info about it live with the rest of us. Some year soon, we'll have more Shepard, you'll see!
Oh my gosh, I am SO ready for N7 day!
I'm not crying, y'all are... Day one, but stumbled upon your channel during ME2. It's been a pleasure to watch you go through and fall in love with this gem of a trilogy. These blind playthroughs are so special to me. I get to live these games vicariously through others to get that "first time" feeling, and you delivered on that front and beyond. Thank you, Basic. Also, shoutout to Taylor and her fire edits. What a legend 👏.
The whole final stretch of this is so intense and so well done. The stakes are so high. You can finally hear Shepard's voice really quiver at the thanix missle part, trying to stay strong and push. There's losses and near losses. The "goodbye" conversations and you having to leave behind Kaidan, Garrus, and everyone else hurt my heart. EDI says she feels alive, thanks to you...
I hope EDI can be recovered, but GFUCKING getting the perfect destroy ending. You did good. Anderson is proud of you along with us. RIP Dadmiral Anderson 😢.
Ugh. I could use a drink after that 😅
Wonderful playthrough.
From under the normandy LED 🫡 💙
Mass Effect has been one of my household games and each and every time i play the series myself I get so sappy and cry my eyes out. Thank you so much for doing the entire series. Thank you so much. 💕💕💕💕
Once again, I'm so happy someone mentioned you on Tumblr. It's been wonderful watching you go through the trilogy, and to fall in love with Kaidan. This trilogy is something incredibly special, and I'm glad to have you as a fellow Commander.
"Tell me another story about the Shepard." "It's getting late, but all right. One more story..." *Player starts Mass Effect 1*
GOTTA LOVE TUMBLR!! I'm so thankful it brought you to my silly little playthrough 💕
58:32 RIP marauder shields gone but never forgotten 😭
I'm not sure how to quite express just how grateful I am for your playthrough of this game. It's how I found your channel, it's how I found your community. I'm so sad it's over but I am SO SO HAPPY that you shared this experience with us! 😭😭😭
ALEX PLS I cannot be cryin into my coffee this early in the week 😭
I think yours is the first playthough that caught on that the love interest balking at putting up the plaque means Shepard survived. Congrats on getting to the orchard.
Thank you for sharing with us the experience of playing through all of Mass Effect. One of the best, most genuine, most funny, most heartfelt playthroughs of the series that I've ever seen. And of course, it had to be you, as someone else might've gotten it wrong ❤️
TOO SOON😭💕
Thank you so much Basic for playing this game! I loved watching every second and how much you love Kaiden just like I do. You have brightened my weeks with your playthrough and I cant believe it is all over. Crying along with you!
BIGGEST OF HUGS!! Thank you for coming along on the journey with me!
Hey basic, thanks for letting us join you on this playthrough. I especially like how you connected with the characters and gave each of them a fair chance. Also, shout out to your editor for adding all of the memorable touches to the videos!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed! 😭
It's been awesome to see you make your choices through out the game, reminds me of the first time ME trailer I saw. "Many decisions lie ahead, none of the easy". Thank you for playing my favorite game! You are the best Basic 😊
thank you for watching!!
“I’m just gonna go shut this Reaper off”
Why did no one think to hit the off switch before?!
did no one think to just flip the switch!?
The man who talks to the boy in the post-credits scene is Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the moon along with Neil Armstrong.
I've absolutely LOVED going on this journey with you. I've watched about a dozen ME playthroughs, but yours has been one of my favorites. Looking forward to your Dragon Age playthrough, as well as your Andromeda playthrough (if you choose to record it).
It's made my heart hurt so good how many people have said this playthrough is among their favorites! Truly honored that so many enjoyed Basique Shep's journey through the stars💕
I'm planning on streaming Andromeda as soon as I wrap up Final Fantasy 16!
I’m sitting here at work, typing away, crying in my corner, trying not to ball my eyes out. I’ve played this game so many times and every time it still hits so hard. I’m so happy that you played this game and got to experience the wonderful, heartbreakingly awesome, story your way.
Can’t wait for Dragon Age! It’s a very story rich game as well.
You are as special and unique as this game, Basic! Enjoyed watching your playthrough so much! We love you!!!
thank you!! 💕
as admiral Ran has said "anything that can be recreated" i am believing she is referring to the geth. this was back in ME2 during Talis trail.
It was amazing watch you play through this whole series! You did great! Can’t wait Dragon Age!!
I would like to point out that there is one more mass effect game called "mass effect Andromeda" but from my perspective it doesn't carry the same gravity that the original trilogy does. And on a side note, I'm glad that you'll be replaying because I want you to experience the other romances and all the other scenes
My last comment on a ME video while I get ready for Dragon Age…thank you Basic and Taylor for all your hard work behind the scenes editing this beautiful playthrough! Commander Basique we haven’t seen the last of her yet! 🎉😊
OUCH NANCY THAT HURTS TOO MUCH!!
Thank you for sharing your first play through with us ❤ Yours has been one of my favorites; you’ve approached it with all the care and love that I would want for my favorite game series, and I’m so glad it’s touched your heart in the same way it has for so many. And I hope you’ll do another some day! I’ll be subscribed and watching til then! 😊
YOU ARE TOO KIND! It's blown my mind how many people have said this playthrough was one of their favs! Thank you for being here on the journey with me and I'm glad I could do the series justice 💕
@@basicwitgirlIt was really really great! Welcome to the family haha!
Also, would love to hear your reaction to the original final dialogue with Anderson that was cut from the game -it’s a real tearjerker for sure. There are mods that restore it and I’d highly recommend watching a clip!
I binged your ME1 playthrough about the time you started ME2 and have been following ever since. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series. It's one of the best I've watched.
Glad you got your happy ending for Shep and Kaiden.
Looking forward to your DA playthrough.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the ride! 💖💖
congrats on beating it and luved the playthrough. you had me crying right along with you in the end lol.
Congrats on your completion of the series! Have fun recommending it to every gamer you know from now until the end of time!
I've already bought it for 3 friends hahaha
LOVED LOVED LOVED your playthrough of this game! One my favorite playthroughs yet! This game is very special indeed and I'm so happy you enjoyed your journey through it!
So looking forward to your dragon age playthrough! Mass effect and dragon age are my all time 2 favorite game series!!
thank you thank you thank you for watching!!! 💕
This has been an amazing journey. Thank you taking us aboard. Looking forward to Dragon Age. I've never completed the first game, but I think I'd settle for watching the first chapter and maybe picking up from a more recent installment.
You got the good ending like I did
I'm very excited about the last seconds before the end-credits 🙂 with your number of war assets there is a chance ...
I am really sad to actually see it end. Such a journey for you and all of us who were along for the ride. Seeing your sassy renegade Shep through the early parts begin the slide towards Paragon as the story and characters came alive for you put a smile on my face. No game I have played ever made me feel as strongly as this one. I loved each and every episode you and Taylor crafted for us. Thank you!
ROSIE IM GONNA CRY😭
I couldn't be there for these final premieres and I may need to miss the fun times on Thursday because my life demands it right now, but girl I was right there crying with you on this Monday evening! This has been my favourite playthrough of the series and I found a really cool creator and community along the way, it's been cool to witness your growth throughout the series and seeing someone love something as much as you do is an amazing feeling. BASIQUE AND KAIDAN FOREVER 😭❤
K YOU ARE SO WONDERFUL AND LOVELY AND I'M TEARING UP AGAIN OVER THIS COMMENT! I'm so glad you stumbled upon my silly little playthrough and that it was about to bring you so much happiness (and just a few tears) ❤
*Press F to pay respect.*
This has been such a ride, basic. I'm so happy I found your channel when you were barely a few episodes in ME1. Also, finding so much love for Kaidan has been such a blow of fresh air. I really needed it ❤
I'm incredibly sad that it's over (although having DA coming next helps a lot hahahaha) but incredibly happy that you loved It so much.
Thanks to you and Taylor for bringing so much joy (and loads of tears too) every Monday and Thursday ❤️
Now... A while back, you asked about our music and playlists for ME and I shared with you a song I think it's perfect for femShep and Kaidan. Now that you have finished, I can share my fave Shenko fanvid that uses that song hehehehe.
Enjoy reminiscing ❤
th-cam.com/video/ZG7Lb-4NvbQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kzCyapHbaOYsPHFR
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for being here on the journey with me! I'm so glad so many Kaidan lovers found the playthrough and we could all squeal and kick our feetsies over him together!!❤️
AWWWH THIS VIDEO WAS SO GOOD!!! thank you for sharing!!
Fyi, Bioware officially confirmed that Shepard indeed survives the Destroy ending. Anyway, I think you should definitely react to the other endings. Each one is unique.
I just found your channel through this video, and I haven't watched your entire playthrough of the series, but I have been skipping around to see some highlights. I just really wanted to say I appreciate you being such a Kaidan simp because he honestly doesn't get enough love and sometimes I feel like I'm defending him myself out here, so thank you 😂😭❤
You're incredibly fun to watch and I look forward to checking out more of your videos!
HI WELCOME!!! I love love love how many Kaidanmancers (AlenkHoes, as I like to say) have found the playthrough! I'll be up on my soapbox for him until the day I die!
@@basicwitgirl LOL as you should should!!! AlenkHoes is absolutely GOLDEN 😂
In another video you mentioned you would replay the party again, might I suggest during the debate between Biotics and Physical with James and Liara, pick Physical for a spicy line between Shepard and Kaidan 😉
And I saw that you had a lil crush on our favorite merc Zaeed, I very recently discovered this voice line and I would love for you to see it too!
th-cam.com/video/Jw2-d55UJEs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CnU6W_HwEyRkaX2i
Finally, I know you just finished so everything is fresh, but if you ever get around to replaying the series, I HIGHLY recommend Garrus' romance as well. I get it, he was my platonic space bro on my first playthrough too, but if you can get into a different mind set and go after him, it's super worth it too! 😄
I don’t agree with your choice, but I respect your journey to get there.
Also the old man at the end was voiced by astronaut Buzz Aldrin.
I think a canon Jane/John Shepard would have gone synthesis, but I think Destroy was a perfect choice for Basique 💕
@ yeah as soon as I saw your reaction to how much TIM pissed you off I kinda knew where you were going.
Also after you play through the chill citadel party, I would recommend reacting to the other romances, especially Garrus, as well as the other endings and Paradise Lost.
Well done on your playthrough of Mass Effect I really had fun watching
Thanks for watching!! 💖
ty basic and taylor for an amazing journey. These episodes have been the highlights of my online life for idek how long now, and I look forward to the future with bwg's content as the permanent rotation. Basique and Kaidan will always have the orchard.
THE ORCHARD FOREVER!!!💕
“You did good…I’m proud of you”.
Congratulations on resisting the indoctrination of the space kid and destroying the reapers. Also congrats on getting the happy ending!
I can’t believe we’re here and it’s all over. I enjoyed you play through immensely and look forward to dragon age and beyond. Maybe a renegade Shepard? 😬
Wow I didn’t know that if you didn’t do Kasumi’s mission she ends up dying in the end that’s actually so sad😭
Mass Effect was such a classic game of my childhood on the 360, especially 2 and 3, and it was a real treat to play all the dlcs blindly for the first time in the Legendary Edition, and make it the 4th game I have 100%ed. I think despite its reception that 3 is my favorite one of the 3 games, because of the hard choices and sacrifices you have to make to win this war, be it Mordin, Legion, Wrex, or Tali, and the heartfelt moments, like Tali saying that Geth have souls, or Anderson saying that we did good.
The damage to the relays is dependent on a few factors I believe. you managed to keep them mostly intact, they can be repaired eventually.
I always thought the relay status was based on the red, green, blue decision BUT I could be wrong. That's what Google's for 😅.
This has been the most amazing ride. Thanks for all the laughs, tears and of course all the Kaidan love!🥹 This playthrough became an important part of my week and I'm honestly so sad now that it's over.😭 But I also look forward to watching you delve into the world of Dragon Age🐉 and experience it as it's also one of my favorite game series!🥰
This is more than a game for me, it is very special, one of those chosen ones that transcend the condition of a game and become an entire experience. It was very exciting to relive it with you because of the way you felt it in each chapter. By the way, every once in a while I re-enter this universe and let myself be carried away by its imagination, and now I'm getting the urge again. Greetings.
I'm glad I could do it justice!
I need to buy stock in Kleenex for this one. Oof. Stay strong, Commander Basique. I'll meet you at the bar.
Oh man what a journey it has been! So glad to have gone through your Mass Effect playthrough (alternatively, your romance arc with Kaidan with some war going on in the background lol). Looking forward to the second Citadel party (canon ending).
there was a war happening while Kaidan and Shep were solidifying their relationship!?😉
1:37:21 "That can't be it"
>You should watch the original ending that had the fandom upset (and that's an understatement).
Additionally; I highly recommend watching videos of choices you didn't make (and know that you have no intention of doing so in future playthroughs).
Lastly, you skipped the credits, so you missed the fact that Stargazer (the old man talking to he kid post-credits) was voiced by Buzz Aldrin.
Now onto Andromeda Age Origins!
Great job as always. I too chose the Destroy ending.
I’ve never, and I don’t mean this in a bad way, seen someone have an emotional roller coaster as you did. Well welcome to the Mass Effect Cult!! I really enjoyed your play through you have a fun quirky view. Thanks for sharing your play through, I will definitely continue to check out your content!!

@basicwitgirl ps I sucked that tear RIGHT up like that cop in Cloudy With a chance of Meatballs lol
Note to self, don't do the ME1 "I remember me" mission just before watching you say the final goodbyes to the rest of your crew.
James was outside with the other soldiers.
If you had not walked Cortez through his grief he would have died when he was shot down.
Not a single engineer looked at those docking arms and thought 'gee when deployed they just happen to match the ring of the Citadel'?
So many, including me, a computer science major, never once stopped to wonder were the hardware is that the Leviathan's AI runs on. That just might explain my comment about no engineer above.
I have a theory about the Geth surviving. They know what Sovereign told Shepard about Reaper technology being a trap (Legion says so). If I were them I would have turned to creating hardware that was not Reaper based and they have had two and a half years to find a solution/bypass.
The theme of this game is set with Jenkins, Ashley's squamates, Nihlus, a creepy prophet/mad scientist (who either got to close to the beacon, or was hyper-vulnerable to indoctrination) and dead colonists in the first hour of game play. It is death and loss and then we see Lovecraftian cosmic horror elements by way of Husks and the giant space shellfish called Sovereign thrown on top of those deaths.
It is so funny that you say "that can't be it" at the end when the ship is crashed and you think that the generic will spawn.
Because this actually "was it" originately in 2012 when the game was released. It triggered so much gamers anger, that they made the "extended ending" which are all the sequences that you can see after this scene.
BTW, lovely playtrought, you are really funny to watch.
Fun Fact: for a time, the scene where the few crew members (Joker, Kaiden, and Garris in your case) walk off the Normandy and out to that jungle on that new planet actually WAS the way ME3 ended. It went straight to credits and then concluded with the grandpa and grandson scene.
This was what had sparked the big controversy to the game. Several months later, Bioware added the "extended ending", which includes the scenes that summerize your playthrough along with the memorial. It also included the final farewell scene where Shepard evacs his/her injured companions onto the Normandy, Admiral Hacket's, "Holy shit," scene, and Joker being told the Normandy has to leave Shepard behind so they can escape the Catalyst's blast.
welcome to the club, it doesn't get any easier with subsequent playthroughs.
i am ready to be hurt again (i'll never replay the ending and will just pretend citadel dlc is the end)
53:10 Yes, that is Harbinger!
Fun tidbit about that ending scene (besides the Buzz Aldrin thing): the model used for the child in that scene is just an adult model sized down halfway.
the thing with the kid... the only time he's ever real is the very first time you see him, playing with a toy ship. when you find him in the rubble, after Shepard leaves, the camera pans back to his hiding spot to show that it's utterly destroyed with no place for him to stand, let alone hide. no one helps him on to the rescue ship- weird right? because he's NOT THERE. it's not a coincidence that the "control" ending is colored paragon blue and "destroy" is colored renegade red.
I looove Mass Effect trilogy. I enjoyed the playthrough and you did do it justice. Was hard being composed at certain scenes and your emotions even made my eyes water up sometimes. I'll be watching for your next content.
Thank you again for all the hours of entertainment.
thank you for watching o7
epic reaction Basic @ 01:41:34 ... you are alive *cheers .. interessting I saw Lucyrobin in the chat epic ... as many here I did all the other endings, I wonder if you will watch them on yt, it's worth but maybee heartbreaking thinking of Tali omg wtf ... you can watch my tribute "MASS EFFECT Reprise - "I know what ... you ... did" (Massive Spoiler Warning)" but better watch all the endings, control, killing the catalyst kid, synthesis .... before cause it's maybee to heavy to see .. Thanks al lot for the Playtrougth from Germany 3728 Miles at the other side of our planet 🙂*cheeers
If Javik doesn’t look into the memory shard, he decides to live and see what peace looks like since he only knew war.
One of the most emotional walkthroughs with immersion in game lore. Thank you for completing my favorite space opera. 👍
It is unfortunate that the original script was changed after the departure of lead screenwriter Drew Karpyshyn between ME2 and ME3. Many people do not pay attention to the name of the game, but it seems to hint at the plot. Initially, the task of the reapers was to find a solution to the problem of using the zero element, which caused more dark matter to appear in the ME universe, which causes premature aging of stars. This was hinted at in the first ME, then in ME2 Tali talked about it in her recruitment mission. And then it turns out to be a "vicious circle", when the reapers themselves use the zero element, their repeaters, etc. And it will not be possible to completely eradicate it from the galaxy either, there are ruins of old civilizations built on the same technology everywhere. New civilizations will find them sooner or later anyway, like people on Mars, for example. And the only way the reapers came to is a cyclical "harvest" in the form of civilizations that have developed technically enough and "conservation" them in the form of a reaper. This solves two tasks at once, from the point of view of cold calculation of AI, of course - the preservation of civilization, its culture, DNA, etc. in the form of a reaper, and the suppression of the use of the zero element by civilizations every 50,000 years for a while. No other solution has been found for millions of years. And this question is really difficult. It seems that either the screenwriters themselves did not find a solution to this question, or they considered the game's audience too stupid for difficult questions and replaced it with the fact that the AI reapers themselves, who "collect" civilizations so that they would not have time to create their own AI...
By the way, destroying one reaper completely destroys a unique ancient civilization, it is a pity that none of the players thinks much about this moral issue. But here again, the question is to the ME3 scriptwriters that they did not disclose this topic to the players, although there were attempts in ME1 and ME2, for example, the Sovereign said that each of them is a separate nation, independent, etc. Thanks again! 👍
Congrats on completing the trilogy - you did this play-through justice and earned your N7 stripes! Now you can enjoy the fun of occasionally going back and trying other options and maybe even a modded run as those are easy to set up on PC and fun to play.
Basic, I am so haaapppyy for your amazing journey, and I am so grateful for finding you and your amazing energy!!! It like watching best friend ❤❤❤❤ guurrrlll I react the same every time I see Kaidan 😂❤🎉 I look forward to see your next playthrough, sending happy vibes. Your loyal friend from Latvia 😊❤❤❤
thank you thank you thank you!! im so glad you enjoyed 😊💕
I love how you finished the series off with Shep and Kaidan in his quarters like everything was sunshine and rainbows after the destroy ending! Thanks for the ride Commander Basique, it was a memorable one!
What do you mean?? It's NOT all sunshine and rainbows???? 😉💕
Grats on getting done with your first playthrough of the Mass Effect Trigoly. I enjoyed watching your journey and I look forward to watching you play the Dragon Age games.
happy to have you along for the ride!
this was an amazing journey, thanks for having us !
For a second there, i thought i was finally gonna see a streamer naturally get the refuse ending. I can just imagine Basic's reaction lol
destruction of the entire galaxy bc I tried to ~unalive~ a hologram child WOULD be an ending I'd naturally stumbled upon 😂
I found your channel thanks to the Kaidan subreddit when you were almost through with the first Mass Effect. I've always loved Kaidan, but it's always been hard to find people who even liked him, much less romanced him through all 3 games. Thanks for showing so much love to our golden retriever biotic space husband. 😊 This is has been my favorite playthrough of Mass Effect. You did really well for a blind playthrough! If you have the time, it is always worth a replay to try out different classes and romances. Kaidan is by far my favorite, but almost all of the others have their merits as well. The fling with Diana isn't worth it for example 😂
The endings are still controversial and argued over to this day, as you could see in chat today. I don't want to argue more about them because almost all of us have made up our minds about which we prefer at this point. I will say this though: you chose the correct ending for retirement in the orchard. Shepard only survives if you pick Destroy, and only then if you have enough War Assests. I forget the exact amount needed for LE, but you reached it without nitpicking for every point. Who needs Diana Allers anyway? 😂 And now The Normandy makes it back to Earth, Shepard recovers from her injuries, and she and Kaidan retire and have a big wedding at the orchard. No one can tell me otherwise!!
I am so sad to see this playthrough end, because Mass Effect is so special. At the same time, I am super excited for Dragon Age. Bioware isn't done with their emotional damage yet. 😆
Bless the KaidanAlenko subreddit for real!! So many wonderful community members stumbled in here because of it!
Yes, I 1000% agree that Shep and Kaidan are living happily ever after in that orchard. No one will be able to tell me otherwise!!
Awesome! So many chose either synthesis or control and not the destroy ending! I hope you had a great experience! And I look forward to seeing Mass Effect Continue!
If you choose to play ME Andromeda, it's an ok story but no where near as great as this trilogy! Hopefully N7 day will bring us good news!
I'm so hopeful for at least some CRUMBS of news on N7 day!!
She did James dirty by not picking him at all
I wanted to share a personal experience of my own. Actually I did not let Javik touch the Echo Shard. In that case, he has two other plans after the war. If you stopped the arguing between him and Liara and did not let him touch the Echo Shard, he starts to write a book with Liara. And they title as "Journeys with the Prothean". And if you did not stopped the arguing between Javik and Liara and also did not let him touch the Echo Shard, he plans to go to the Hanar Homeworld and become a King there. 😄
Golden Ending. Impressive for a blind playthrough.
Basique Shep may have been just a silly girl, but she sorta knew what she was doing!
@@basicwitgirl I guess the chance is pretty decent if you're thorough with all the side quests and content. Especially if paragon I think.
😂 Dam, I know it's sad, the final Kaidan kiss, but BWG expression and reaction is priceless. I feel for ya💐 But I will say your entertainment of this play through was cool, you got charisma and delicious too the eyes! Commander Sniper Girl😄👍✌
Why’s everyone so upset? My play through had a happy ending. All puppies and unicorns. Settled down. Got married. Legendary.
I mean, you can't convince me that's not what happened with mine as well!
They don't make many games with stories - and more importantly, characters - as compelling and enjoyable as Mass Effect did. Will always be special.
So glad your experience of the ME fandom was a good one. In a couple of playthroughs I watched recently, the poor TH-camrs were quite distressed by the end, because of abuse they received from online trolls. Your comments at the end went a long way towards restoring my faith in the ME community.
I think you said you'd made a save so you could replay the party. Will you be putting that on TH-cam? The first part doesn't change much, but as it progresses there are a lot of new lines/scenarios that are well worth seeing.
Anyway, thanks for sharing your first playthrough with us. It's always a privilege to see someone experience these games for the first time.
It will be going to youtube, yes!! our "true" ending!
Thank you for playing my favorite game of all- time. If you decide to go back and play again as infiltrator, the most damage per second you can do is "cloak -> energy drain -> sniper shot", or "cloak -> sticky grenade to debuff a boss -> sniper shot". Coming from cloak then doing a sniper shot multiplies its damage. And if you can find the Valiant X sniper rifle, you're unstoppable.
The Next Mass Effect game still remains a mystery. What many are hoping is to be the return of Shepard might also be a new protagonist
I'm hoping for a new protag, I think! As much as I LOVE Jennifer Hale as femShep, I think she has earned a lovely retirement after saving the galaxy 3 times 💕
WELL during my very first playthrough of ME3 I did what you intended to do on the begining of the conversation with the catalyst. The secret ending was spectacular. XD
Destroy is typical playthrough ending so well done. Maybe do another playthrough and make different choices and play on harder difficulty. Glad you enjoyed the game.
Well, there ya are. One in the bag. Good times. Look forward to the next one.
Amazing episode as always I'm not ready for the end sobs. 😢❤
No Shepard, don't wave that gun in front of the kid. I know you were just kidding about shooting the kid and of course you never seriously thought about it. But make your choice and run to the desk, and DON'T TURN AROUND to face the child.
Even though, you basic missed the radio communications where those soldiers reported a patrol with 100% KIA, or the girl trying to stop a soldier bleeding, right before being found by the repears..... Years a go I lost it ...
This is the updated version of the endings. in the original endings Sheppard was dead in all 3.
Great job with sharing your version of Shepard with us. It was a blast.
Control is my favoured ending as it doesn't kill the geth or EDI, and for me this is where my Shepard's story ends. I don't want Shepard back in the next game, but I know most of the fandom does.
Thank you for watching!! I love Shepard, but in my heart she deserves retirement after saving the galaxy three times! Let her rest!
Control Ending would work here, Shepard would just be watching Kaiden 24/7 anyway and all the Reapers would just be busy not letting a woman within a 10 mile radius of Kaiden. Poor Kaiden, but the rest of humanity would be saved and everything would go back to the way it was.
"An end once and for all" is such a beautiful song. I can't listen to it without thinking about my cats. 🌈🌉😢
Now pay attention to November 7th (N7 Day) for any leaks or releases or information for ME5.
Thank you for the play through. You did good.
