Can't wait see her reactions to Mass Effect 2. The intro, the characters, everything. Should be fun.
Her heart's definitely gonna melt by the end.
I was about to say that. Just the first minutes of mass effect 2 will make her cry even more
ME3 lowkey might break her if she plays ME2 the best way…(yall know what i mean)
ME1 is a walk in the park compared to ME2.
@@stefandavis7258 Probably, but it's better to let her have her own experience. No one, except me (Felt like I had to), gets the best/perfect ending on their first trilogy playthrough.
I’ve never seen anyone get anywhere near this emotional for the end of this game, I actually love your passion, truly
And I thought *I* was emotional. I was crying during the Vigil revelation, but I just got out-done by LWG, here. 😳😅
She must have been trough something IRL right?!
@@ypey1 yeah didn’t she say? When she was a kid she grew up on a space station and it got invaded by robots with lightbulb heads, very traumatic
I swear the older I get the more emotional I get! 🤣
45:32. Actually Sovereign is gone for good. After Shepard took control of the station from him, Sovereign took control of Saren's dead body and fought Shepard. In other words, he was in two places at once. Fighting the alliance outside and fighting Shepard in the tower. When Shepard defeated Sovereign while he was possessing Saren, Shepard actually killed a part of Sovereign and because of that his shields went down in his original form, allowing Joker and the rest of the alliance fleet to destroy Sovereign.
GOOD!! Thank you for the clarification on that!!
It’s ok to cry! You’re emotionally invested in these characters, which speaks to the strength of the writing in this game.
Anyway, congratulations on finishing the first major leg of the Mass Effect journey! Take a breather, then get ready for Mass Effect 2!
Thank you!!! So excited (and nervous) for the rest of the adventure!
This entire playthrough has been a joy to watch. I can't wait for the finale and then on to Mass Effect 2! Let's GOOOO!!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the play through!!!
I love how invested you get in these games, I’m so excited for Mass Effect 2 & 3!
She's been like that in every game I've seen her play. She's not just mailing this stuff in. It's one of the many reasons she's the best.
I get way too attached to fictional stories 🤣
If ME1 got to you this much on an emotional level then prepare yourself for ME2 and 3... It gets heavy. Been a blast watching u express part 1 of this epic saga 😃
She definitely might take a break in between episodes especially ME 3….if she plays the first 2 games effectively ME3 is might break her😩😭😭
The first part of ME2 was so horrible hahaha
28:30 Crying over Saren is a perfectly reasonable reaction! He did terrible things, but he wasn't in control of himself when he did them. He'd served the galaxy for decades and for all his flaws, the way the Reapers managed to manipulate him and keep him blind to the indoctrination was by playing on his desire to protect galactic civilization. He was a hero, or at least an antihero, before he was a villain - and he wasn't a villain by conscious choice. He always thought he was doing what was best for the galaxy and he had his life and agency stolen from him by insidious forces well beyond his station. Make him realize that and in his last moment of clarity, he's immediately willing to sacrifice himself to stop Sovereign from using him any more. His story is very much a tragedy and this ending for him echoes the backstory he has in the comics.
And yeah, he was dead at that point, Sovereign just took over the implants he'd put in his body and puppeted them around for the leapfrog bit. To add insult to injury! That's why Sovereign's shields went down and it started drifting after you destroyed the Saren-husk; Sovereign had uploaded or extended his mind into Saren's endoskeleton to try to kill you and having it destroyed evidently disabled him. It's basically like you said - he "wi-fi'd" himself into that Saren husk. So Sovereign is really dead. But he was only ONE Reaper...
Aside from the practical considerations with messed-up makeup and such, there's nothing wrong with getting emotional over these games and I really don't think you need to apologize for it. It's just a sign you're invested in the world and the characters, and that's what makes the 'Mass Effect' trilogy so great. I'd be less engaged as a viewer if you WEREN'T emotionally involved with the plot. But as fair warning - yes, there will be many, MANY more tears in the next couple of games. So make sure to stock up on unscented tissues ;)
So so so many tears next video hahaha
I absolutely love how you show your emotions and tears, really show how invested you get into this amazing game series and its characters.
Looking forward to seeing you play Mass Effect 2 which is my personal favorite among them.
I think I flooded my house from my tears in the next video! 🤣
Here we go! The finale and then we start one of my favorite video games of all time and one of the best video game sequel ever made! You’re gonna love ME2
I’m so so so excited to see what happens!
Never thought I could watch someone play through a whole game. This is the 10th full game I've watched you play. So consistently top notch! Not just each game, but each individual video.
Looking forward to you playing ME2. I think you're going to really like the story, characters, and the VASTLY improved autosave system.
Thank you so much!!!! I’m so so glad you’re enjoying the channel!
Mass Effect folk since 2008 reporting in - played the games a dozen times and watched several playthroughs. Just stumbled over your channel a few hours ago and your sentence "why am I crying for Saren - what is wrong with me" made me follow your channel.
Answer is easy: You are probably an empathic and decent human being 🙂so nothing is wrong with you at all - will check out your other stuff and hope to find a lot of honest and emotional moments.
Thank you for being yourself ☺
How emotional you are when playing makes your content so much more enjoyable for fans like me who love this game so much.
Congratulations again I said most of what I wanted to in the premiere but here's a few tips for starting ME2:
-talk to the crew often and get all dialogue, it was important in ME1 but it's even more important now
-there's no more spending xp on paragon/renegade points, you get points by choosing those options
-scan every planet, a lot of side missions can only be found that way
-someone explained this better than I can in the comments on another video, but write down the character creation code so your face doesn't get fucked up
-we covered this but check the DLC list, that will help avoid a lot of confusion and getting locked out of anything
I'll have more after you actually start ME2 but hope that helps, so excited
Pretty much have to do everything in ME2 if you want to get the best outcome, but those are good, basic tips.
Scan planets as well
Thank you so much!!
Can't wait!! I knew this playthrough would be amazing and you've definitely delivered so far. ME2&3 are on a whole other level so I'm super excited for all of it
3 is kinda disappointing in every way compared to 2
@@zarif_chow I can respect your opinion but I couldn't disagree any more. Sure there's some problems but it's easily outweighed by the good imo, it's close but 3 is the best one for me.
@@roopetoivanen sure sure to each their own
@@zarif_chowEach game has its flaws, but 3 is overall the best I think
Early on, after my first full playthrough including 3, my ranking was 2 > 1 > 3.
But now, after around fifteen times through the whole trilogy, my ranking has radically shifted: I go 1 > 3 > 2.
It really depends on what you want out of games like these, and how much time you spend with them. I won't argue my ranking is "right" or anyone else's is "wrong," but my ranking is honest. Someone else's different ranking would be personal to them, with their own reasons, and that's fine.
I can explain my rationale, just like someone else can explain theirs. To do so here would be spoilery, of course, and I won't.
But the bottom line is, this is a great fuckin trilogy no matter how you rank it.
Ah, Mass Effect, the series that basically puts me in tears the whole time. Great playthrough!
I’m not ready for this hahahah
I cannot wait to see you start ME2, the beginning really is such a mindfuck on a first playthrough.
It basically destroyed me! 😅
I love how much you enjoyed this game. It makes me look forward to your ME2 playthrough even more.
I’m so nervous! 🤣
Thank you for sharing your playthrough of one of my favorite games of all time! It was a joy watching it. Very excited for ME2 and 3!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!!!
Mass Effect 2: Right in the Feels. Have fun. My favorite sci fi game trilogy. Long way to go and it's a heck of a ride. If you remember all the side quests you did, you'll be surprised just how often things relating to them might be seen again.
I love that!!!! Can’t wait to see the connections!
Hi Teegan! If I could suggest a game, it would be Spec Ops: The Line. It plays similarly to Mass Effect and Gears of War and shouldn't take too long to beat, maybe 4-6 hours if you take your time.
I'll say it's an experience you'll never forget :)
Seconded on the specs of: the line
I’ve never played Spec Ops, but I love the Gears franchise!! The most recent one was one of my earliest play throughs on the channel if you’re interested!! 🤗
amount of ready that I am: high
Edit post video: E M O T I O N
So much emotion!
Thanks for the live chat interaction of the finale recording LWG! It was fun and nice to hear your take on the game that you just played! Time to move on to ME2!
This might be one of the best reactions to the end of Mass Effect 1 I have ever seen.
This series is one of the best games I have ever played. You did well for a first time play thru.
Man if the ME1 made you cry this much, knowing what you will face in the other games, Liteweight, let me know if you need a virtual hug.
Congratulations for your fantastic playthrough of Mass effect. And now you will have the luck to play one of the best videogame ever made: Mass effect 2! :) 🎉❤
Thank you so much!! I’m so excited!
Absolutely phenomenal playthrough and gameplay teegan. Truly enjoyed watching your first mass effect game. Cannot wait to see you play ME2. Stay amazing
Omg, this series seems like the perfect series for you to let's play. Really cool to see how much you get emotionally invested into the characters and universe. And it only ramps up in the later games.
And as a warning, not a spoiler. The genophage storyline gets deeper later in the series exploring the trauma of it. I know in a previous part, you've expressed how it's personally a sensitive subject. So I just wanted to give warning and preparation to not have to worry about getting blindsided by that difficult subject matter.
If she got that emotion in the last part of this game, I have no idea how she is going to handle the other two
If you go into Mass Effect 2 here a few gameplay tips to get used too :
- No need for tech specialist to unlock containers, bring whoever you want without the need to limit yourself
- I think you will be given early the possibility to change your character class, in ME2 classes are more focused on what they were good at, and have now unique abilities. Infiltrator will be the sniper/stealth, Vanguard is getting close and personnal, Sentinel is the tanky build.
- There is a minigame on the galaxy map, it is NOT fun, but doing the quests associated with it will lead to new interaction
- There are new quest dlc after the main quest is completed
- Main quest labeled "Dossier : Something Something" can be done without moving the plot forward and don't remove other quest
- Have fun
I stuck with Vangaurd… but I’m a bit worried it won’t be the build I want now that I’ve played the first bit! 😅
Based on your emotional reaction here a no spoiler tip/warning for 2. Prep your crew and your ship completely. You'll know what this means after the intro missions.
Okay, thank you for the advice!!!
Cant wait to see you react to ME2&3! If you think this one is emotional you're in for a roller coaster ride over the next 2
The Ilos battle theme is freaking amazing. It puts the weight and urgency of the entire game in perspective.
You're in a race against time with an eternal enemy that has never known defeat, with only the ghosts of those who previously failed to witness it. And you're losing.
The OST in this game is as much a character as the crew. Take a damn bow Jack Wall.
Also, i know i'm super late to the party, but on Virmire, Kirrahe and his Salarians lives are dependant on killing the drones at the fuel station (which you did at 7.43, Ep 25), If you don't destroy them, or didn't get credit for doing so (bug), they are overwhelmed and killed.
I've always loved how the game lets you keep Saren as the big bad guy or try to reason with him. It adds a lot of flavour to the final encounter with him, even if his ultimate demise is never mentioned again.
“This game has me feeling sorry for the bad guy!”
That’s when you know this game is good! Saren is such a great character and the dialogue in Mass Effect 1 is some of the best in the series.
Damn it, I felt exactly the same as the first time 10 years ago.
😭😭 so friggen sad!
Your genuine reactions are amazing. It reminds me of my 1st time playing n how it made me feel... be it angry, happy, or crying the same sad tears we all cried
Girl, if you're crying this much already, you'd better have a therapist on deck for 2 and 3! 🤣
We've all said it, and now, we're saying it again: FANTASTIC JOB! FANTASTIC PLAYTHROUGH! CAN'T WAIT TO CONTINUE! Now here's something to consider for the sequel; assuming you haven't already progressed in it.
OPENING MISSION ORDER IN MASS EFFECT 2 (NO SPOILERS)
I mentioned this last time, but I'm saying it again. You don't have to do this of course, but, if you want to get unique dialogue, cutscenes, and character moments that you won't otherwise get, there's a certain order to do things a little ways into ME2.
At a certain point, the game is going to suggest that you get "The Professor". You should, instead, do things in this order:
1. Get "The Warlord"
2. Get "The Veteran"
3: Take "The Warlord" and "The Veteran" with you to get "Archangel"
4. Take "Archangel" and "The Warlord" with you to get "The Professor" - (The game makes this last one seem like a bad idea, but trust me. There are no negative consequences, and some cool stuff happens if you do this.)
After that, doesn't matter what you do; although I would suggest saving "The Convict" for dead last, since that progresses the plot. Y'know. Side-quests first. 😉

A FEW THINGS YOU MISSED
Whether you make a reaction video of this or not, here are a few little things we've talked about that you missed:
This is that cutscene we were telling you about when the humans are on the Citadel for the first time (If it's male Shep, Ashley is the one who does the flirting and gets flustered. 😛): th-cam.com/video/GMGU_5Q9m9Y/w-d-xo.html
Here's what Kaidan and Garrus have to say about the relay statue (i.e. the conduit). MASSIVE foreshadowing that a lot of people miss: th-cam.com/video/kD1M98ZWHsk/w-d-xo.html
This one's all the conversations the characters can have in the elevators (he missed one, but he put it in the description): th-cam.com/video/_NQdDNpL-EI/w-d-xo.html
And finally...Here's that lonely hanar merchant you never talked to 😂: th-cam.com/video/YYHVPMmqROQ/w-d-xo.html
That poor Hanar merchant!!! Saving this for reference later, thank you!!!
@@LiteWeightGaming I just remembered one more thing! At the beginning of ME2, you have ALL the codex entires from ME1, and they're ALL flashing like new, in order to refresh players memory 3 years later. The SECOND you get control of Shepard, you should go into the codex and mark all the primaries and secondaries as read, so you can actually see which entries are new from then on. 👍🏼
*NON SPOILER* suggestion for the start of *MASS EFFECT 2.*
Towards the beginning, you are given a chance to *adjust your character's look.*
1) You can leave it as is.
However, sometimes the transition from the graphics of the first game to the second is imperfect (bleached eyebrows for everyone come to mind).
Additionally, sometimes people want to change some minor detail (say, a nose job... or a hair cut).
Should that not be the case, of course it's fine to leave it untouched.
2) Start from scratch.
Not recommended if you want fidelity.
3) You can import the code of your character's face from ME1, and *then* make one or two minor adjustments using that as a template.
It's the solution most people prefer, when they find out it's possible.
But it's also one that a lot overlook because the game isn't clear on how to do it (first choose "custom", then go to code and write your character code in there).
I imported my look and it looked identical, so I just kept it!! Thank you for the tips, they were very helpful!!
the Mass Effect-Trilogy-Edition hit me .. especially in the current time .. with upcoming decisions, not only humanity, not only the galaxy, but everyone in the universe should unite, then we can possibly win the fight .. Grüße aus Europa 🙂
So nervous for the rest!!
I just watched your full playthrough. It took me a few days but i love your reactions to it!! This is my absolute favorite video game trilogy ever! I never played it till this edition. But the story and characters just suck you in and its a blast!! I just finished another playthrough of this one myself the other day!! You are gonna love the sequels!! 😁
So very excited for ME2! Congrats on finishing ME1 and I'm thrilled you enjoyed it so much!
I hope you enjoyed it!!!
Absolute exceptional game series, I love these games with all my heart and I’m happy to see others enjoy it. I literally play this series every year once 😅 heads up, very nice playthrough, you came along a long path congrats 🎉
Considering your experience with this ending, I think that Mass Effect 3 will be your favorite. You'll probably need more than just one box of tissues though
I’m so so so not ready 🤣
I love your playthroughs. Your reaction to everything is literally what i experienced myself when i first played the ME games just last year. This makes me even more excited to see your playthrough for Mass Effect 2, which is regarded as the best in the series. I can guarantee you that you will have your mind blown several times before you complete it and it is something i look forward to very much.
Whether you like the council or not, you just can't top humanity rocking up to save the day! Such a cool moment, The way the music plays, so good!
I agree! Very cinematic!
This was the best ME letsplay I have seen. Good work Litey.
I'm really looking forward to Mass Effect 2. It's my favorite of the trilogy and you meet my favorite character in that one as well.
Three things I'll recommend before you start;
As always, talk to your crewmates often. It's even more important in this one, so I highly recommend that you make a habit of doing that regularly. It pays off in more ways than one.
Do everything, just like you did in the first game. This includes scanning every planet to pick up additional missions (this part is a lot easier to navigate in 2 than in 1). And make sure to upgrade everything you can.
And finally, take your time and have fun. You're in for another great game!
Now that i understand how important everything is (even the “little” things) I think it’ll be much more exciting for me to do them all!!
oh man if you're this invested already, there are moments later that are going to absolutely destroy you. i can't wait 😭
don't hesitate to use the sassy option if you feel like it. This game is not about choosing the charm option every time, even if you feel YOU would say something sassy. If so, then do it. A Renegade here and there doesn't have a huge impact on the overall story and Renegade Points are not a "punishment" even when you play a positive character. you don't have to have a 100% paragon for the most important storylines. I'm not saying go rouge every time, but being a bitch at some points will give you satisfaction - especially in ME2 and that's what this game is all about :) The first episodes when you chose different options were really cool and there you were your character. choosing the top option every time makes this game very predictable scene after scene and it feels the dissonance when you say I would have chosen this option but you pressing another anyways.
Your reactions are enough to crack this old cynic’s stone heart.
For your own well-being, please pace yourself when you play Mass Effect 3 - the emotional beats come early, and often.
Be good to yourself. It’s only logical! (Nice tattoo, btw - it’s NOT a myth!)
Saren is such a good villain, because he is not “just” a villain.
Bless you Lite you really took it to heart, good game!!!!!
I just stumbled upon this video. Been awhile since I played ME, but damn.. that entire series is insanely good. Good ol' Bioware days. Nice to see its still being appreciated!
I loved your journey through ME1! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Awesome!!! Thanks for watching and commenting 😊 I’m playing through ME2 now!!
Sovereigns shields went down because when shepard killed the controlled saren it caused a kind of feedback loop that stunned it.
I can't wait for you to experience the next two games, after seeing how much this one impacted you. You ain't seen nothing yet!
Saren shooting himself isn't a bad thing, Shepard gave Saren the chance to chose his own way out of the situation, Sovereign lost control of Saren in that moment and Saren chose his own way out. What happened next wasn't harming Saren, he was gone it was just a body Sovereign took over.
It was the best thing to happen, Saren took back control of his life at the end and he chose what to do.
This Series was so much fun! I love the Space theme it’s amazing & right up my alley. I enjoyed the Story, Character’s, Environment’s, the Gameplay simple yet fun! Very excited for Mass Effect 2! 🤗
Me too!!
Brilliant ending to a stellar playthrough Lite! I love your empathy for EVERYONE. I wish more people were like that. I said before that this series is what brought me to your channel and I am so happy I clicked on it. I can not wait to see you start ME2. It was my favorite game of all-time until I played Witcher 3.
Congrats, and welcome to your mass effect addiction. It only gets better from here
Freaking loved this playthrough on one of favourite games of my favourite game series!!
Never thought I’d see someone cry over Saren!😅.
Just a heads up so mass effect 2 will do a slight change in terms of combat and mechanics. Nothing major it’ll come to you quite quickly.
I cannot wait for you to play the other 2!!
I felt so badly for him! 🤣
Saren's probably my favorite villain in the series. So much nuance buried in his character. The stories we hear make it clear that he's something of an extremist, often non-sympathetic, and certainly not a "great guy." But he's also an idealist, and I do believe that his plan to ally with the Reapers comes from a pragmatic mind that sees no other way for organic life to survive the onslaught. It's his way of saving the galaxy. As he alludes on Virmire, he believes a lifetime of servitude, with the possibility of eventual freedom, is better than no future at all. He thinks he can reason with Sovereign, but he overestimates himself and falls prey to indoctrination, all the while believing he's doing the right thing. You can fight him in the council chamber, but the reason I like the Paragon/suicide ending is because it brings his story full-circle, and it highlights how the real enemy was always Sovereign. As terrible as Saren was, he was simply puppet of the true threat. This sets the stage for the remainder of the series.
Definitely check out the 'Mass Effect: Evolution' comic and 'Mass Effect: Revelation' novel if you like him and you have the chance. They flesh out his backstory a ton and give a lot more insight into how and when he became indoctrinated.
@@BadBeepBoy That's excellent, thanks! Haven't read them.
I feel so bad for him!! Everything you said is spot on!!
I'm on watching and listening to you
as you are about to finish Mass Effect
and congratulations for you getting
to the end, have a wonderful Thursday
and Thank You very much LWG.😎👍
I hope you enjoyed it!!
@@LiteWeightGaming
I really enjoy watching your playthroughs
and hearing your reactions to them.
Thank You very much.🙂🤝☀️
If you notice, the Mako turned into Giant Mako lmaooo
@ 26:45 Saren: "the relationship is symbiotic" ... I heard that from someone else too
and i thought i cried a lot 😂
nah but foreal games are crazy like that where i guess you just play so long that you really get invested in the characters and you really care what happens to em. which is why i wanted to make sure you did all the things on virmire to save the captain, even though he only in the last 5% of the game.
definitely looking forward to me2
It just shows how amazing the writing is that I get so attached to the characters!!
lmaooo love your reaction, don't worry we all cried when we played this. can't wait to see how your journey continues.
Idk how someone wouldn’t!!!! 😭
I loved watching this playthrough!! Seeing how invested you were in everything was so great ^_^ and I absolutely cried at the end of this game as well lol but I'm excited to start your playthrough of 2 now! I'm going to get caught up too fast x.x
Congratulations! :) You made great decisions. It is okay, don't hold your emotions back, feel free to express yourself, as that is exactly what we are interested to see here, your first time reactions, let it be laughs or tears, all the first time shock, the surprises, the fun parts and all the rest. Have emotion, its cute!
It just shows how deeply invested and attached you become with all the characters, the story, lore and the world, which is great. This is why it is such an awesome game! Thus we can relive this unique one and only first time experience with you now. So much thanks to you for that! Waiting for ME2. Keep up your best channel! ;)
(If you wish to have some helping tips/warnings for ME2, I left it vague at your previous vid just yet.)
I'll remind you this again as you play Mass Effect 2 but remember, DO NOT start the mission named "The Reaper IFF" until you have earned the loyalty of all of your crew members, squad or otherwise whomever can be interacted with. It's like the ME2 version of Virmire.
❤ I joined late and have just caught up, and it has been an absolute joy and a pleasure to watch you play this game.
The first Mass Effect really sneaks up on you. For most of it, it's engaging but pretty cerebral, a wide-ranging exploration experience with fun characters and interesting lore, a little Star Trek, a little Star Wars, familiar enough to be accessible but unique enough to be fascinating. And then you get to Virmire, where the whole story shifts into a new gear and you realize Mass Effect is definitely doing its own thing. And from there it's just a rocket ride to the incredibly stressful and deeply satisfying climax. It's a slow burn to get here, but the ending is just a powerhouse.
And yeah, if you thought this was intense, the next two chapters are gonna take you for a ride.
I also want to compliment you on your character build and your playstyle. You mentioned at the end how happy you were with your Shepard, and you definitely deserve kudos. I've seen a lot of players who find the mechanics kind of dense and complex, so they just run and gun with their weapons. But you took the time to figure out your powerset and optimize everything to work together, and by the end your Shepard was a combat monster. It's especially great because you're a first-time player; you've really got the flow down. The only thing left to improve is more actively controlling your squadmates, positioning them strategically and using their abilities in coordination with yours. The coming games will put a premium on this.
Another thing: I'm really impressed with your community of commenters here. Mass Effect seems to attract some obnoxious backseaters who firmly believe their playstyles and choices are the best and insist that the streamer is doing it "wrong" if he or she doesn't follow their guidance, but so far it looks like you've got very little of that. People have been supportive with the tips and careful about the spoilers, and it's been great for your play experience. I will say, though, that the temptation for commenters to push for certain story choices is likely to become more intense in the second game, because the consequences of following different paths can be ... severe. People will want to be helpful, they will want to help you achieve the "best" outcome, and that's a well-intentioned motive.
*However,* the magic of Mass Effect, I think, is in exploring the story, figuring out how everything adds up and works together over the course of the trilogy ... and then playing the games again, a second time and a third time and beyond, tweaking choices and character interactions, trying to craft *your* ideal version of the story. My respectful suggestion is to pay attention to the low-level gameplay advice, stuff like how the ammo powers work differently in ME2 than the first game, but try to disregard the really big spoilery tips that say you have to do things a certain way or otherwise (dramatic lightning and thunder outside) *bad stuff* will happen. I'd say, allow yourself to discover the game, and if you don't like an outcome, that's a challenge for the next playthrough.
Mass Effect is probably the most replayable game series I've ever seen. It's just endlessly deep with variations. I've played the first game over twenty times and the whole trilogy end-to-end probably fifteen times over the years, exploring as many different choice combinations as I could think of. And yet, just yesterday, I happened to see a gameplay video showing a major character interaction I'd never seen before and had no idea was possible. It blew my mind.
It's not just an RPG, it's an interactive story where your choices determine the details of the plot. And my mantra is this: if the game lets you do it, then it's not a wrong choice, it's just a *different* choice, and a different story. Is it "wrong" to save Kaidan over Ashley, or vice versa? Of course not. People will argue about which they *prefer,* but that's all it is, a preference. And this goes for everything. Yes, a lot of the potential outcomes hurt, some terribly. That's what the second playthrough is for, and the next after that. This is a franchise to fall in love with.
Terrific stuff. Great videos. Really enjoyable. Looking forward to the rest of your Mass Effect journey. Take care.
P.S. Stock up on waterproof mascara. 😉
Thank you SO MUCH for this advice! I have a tendency to make decisions that the majority of people don’t make (ie saving Kaiden or killing Balak) and seeing many commenters that feel like I made the wrong choice can make you second guess yourself or feel like you’re playing it “wrong”. It’s not intentional on their part, but just something that happens! So the way you put this was a really great way for me to think about it!! I appreciate it a ton!!
You have made the right decision to save the council, later you will appreciate it
I’m so glad!!!
Thank you for the Lp 😊 Can't wait for ME2. It's a masterpiece for me :3 Hope you enjoy the journey~
I’m so nervous hahahha
That end credit song is majestic. Too bad for copyright.
Just think, it wasn't just the council you saved on the ascension, the codex states it boasts a crew of 10,000, so you saved all of those people as well
On to one of (if not the ) best video game sequels of all time!
Some notes for ME2:
-Ammo/Thermal clips: apparently gamers complained about the long time for weapons to cool down so BioWare made all weapons have limited ammo again. The good news is that it's universal running out shouldn't be an issue.
-Hacking: it's one of 2 minigames rather than requiring tech skill/omni-gel.
-Galaxy map exploration: It's much more expansive and there's more to do, such as mine resources for research and weapon upgrades. You do have a limited amount of probes and fuel so make sure you can get back to the system with a Mass Relay!
-Character customization: while you don't have an array of armor or weapons to unlock, you can customize Shepard's existing N7 armor and her casual appearance.
Now you can understand why so many love these games and why they are considered some of the best games.
And now you're done with the intro. Looking forward to ME2
So nervous!! 😅
saren, i didnt see him as "evil", the poor guy caught a glimpse at the incomprehensible galactic genocide that has been going on for hell knows how long and he believed he was taking steps to try and save any species he could. That he even kept sane enough to think he was helping organic life was an achievement
Cann't wait for the ME2!! Great play through Lite!!
I’m not ready hahaha
cant wait to see your ME2 playthrough
@ 03:05 oh good you stopped the Big Dan video at this point 😂 ...
Couldn’t risk spoilers!!!
Always remember...Play Mass Effect endings without make-up!
I can't wait to see you play Mass Effect 2...and the consequences of your actions from the first game.
the endings and the beginnings,😂😂😂
I should have played the first part of ME2 without makeup! 🤣
Great playthrough! So glad that you enjoyed the game!!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the playthrough!!
Hi Lite! As of typing this, I’m watching Ep. 25 of your playthrough right now, but I wanted to come comment here so you’d see! 😃
I’ve noticed you like the Barrier ability a lot, which is great because it was my favorite ability too haha! I wanted to say that if you like that ability, then take a look at playing the Sentinel build in Mass Effect 2! That class is a lot of fun, and you get a better version of barrier too! Makes Shepard so strong! 💪
Can’t wait to watch these last Mass Effect 1 videos! And definitely can’t wait for you to see the awesomeness that is Mass Effect 2! 😁
I didn’t see this comment before starting ME2 and I went vangaurd… I already miss my barrier ability! 😭
No, don’t close your heart to it. :) Yours was one of the best 1st game conclusions I’ve watched (TH-cam, Twitch) because of that emotional engagement. (I’ve cried - hard at times - many times during these games, and appreciate seeing when the story is taken so to heart.) Thank you for sharing your game, attitude, and emotions. Can’t wait to see the next adventures of your “cocky asshole.” 😅
Thanks. It was a great watch! Onwards to ME2 now :) Maybe I catch you to ME3 before you get into the end.
52:10 Tali is actually quite easy to build: She's the ultimate tank, even better than Wrex. The key is her ability to regenerate her shields even under heavy fire. She is squishy at the beginning of the game, but in the endgame she can literally stand out in the open getting shot and still regenerates her shields even on the hardest difficulty. Her armor is important as well of course - for her armor with maximum shields is essential. It takes a lot of enemies to take Tali down.
On top of that she also is the best character for unlocking containers, repairing the Mako and hacking Geth (unless Shepard is an Engineer - that class has pretty much the same abilities as Tali). In my playthroughs except Engineer playthroughs Tali is always a member of my squad in ME1.
PS: Don't feel bad about the sobbing - that only prooves how good the game is and what an amazing job the dev team did. If you don't get emotional about stories and characters that means the game failed to really draw you in.
Congratulations, you had done mass
Effect 1 ,I am glad you re enjoyed it,looking for your reaction for mass effect 2😊👍👌
Her reaction for ME2 and ME3 will be... 🤯
Dude, congratulations on finishing ME1! This was so fun to watch. ME 2 is a literal quantum leap in quality and gameplay but it comes with some pretty harsh choices! Its a great game though, one of the best I've played. Can't wait to see your playthrough.
This entire three game series was one of the most epic gaming experiences I have ever had in my 30+ years playing video games. You will LOVE number 2 lol its better in every way
You're crying because you're really invested in the game, and we love you for it Ms Lite ❤ I hope you're playing the second game soon. It's the best!! Best keep that box of Kleenex on standby, lol.
I think you need to keep tissues at hand going forward because honey... you aint seen NOTHING yet.
The start of 2 almost destroyed me!
good playthrough, the second one is really good see you there.
See you there!!! 🤗
If ME1 ending made you cry, there is gonna be rivers of tears when you play ME3.
Just started watching you and all of a sudden this doozy came up. What a reaction. Lol. Did anybody tell you that your choices carry into the second game? You saved the council so you will be much more appreciated and respected when your on the citdel from now on.
Wheras if you let the council die you would've been disliked more by the other races. If you do play me2 you will love it its in my personal top 10 of all time.
I have played this game for a very long time. Multiple playthroughs and I'm in my current playthrough now. When you first chose the shotgun I was like what is she doing? By the end of the playthrough that shotgun was so good. I have never chosen to do a shotgun run. I thought it was amazing.
