Sadly, this was Robin Sachs last voice role as Zaeed. He died of a heart attack on February 1st, 2013, three months after the citadel dlc released, 4 days shy of his 62 birthday.
May he Rest In Peace. We will always remember him, as will future generations for he is immortalized through his work and will never be forgotten for the joy and entertainment he provided us to this day and on.
Also had a recurring role on Buffy the Vampire Slayer as Ethan Raine, agent of chaos. (Looking at the details of his passing, I’m just now realizing he passed just 2 months after my Dad did. They were almost the same age too. I didn’t think of him as ancient, but I didn’t realize just how young Robin Sach was when he passed til now. Weird how so many actors from Babylon 5 passed at such a relatively young age…he was in that too. A lot of talented people missed. Family too. 😔)
@@coffeeveinsBabylon 5, I would say, as silly as it sounds has a cursed cast. How many of them died at 60? Four. Furst and Furlan, 63 and 65. Star trek 90s shows are mostly in their 70s, to 90s, with only a few passing. Babylon 5, about half the main cast of gone, youngest being Biggs, only three years older than me
My favorite part of the clone mission is definitely the team trash talk. It really shows that these guys genuinely like each other as friends, and not just coworkers. The way the banter bounces around is so natural, and they sound like they're having a blast even as they fight for their lives. Best found family!
A couple of small, non-spoilery tips: 1. Check your messages every time you return to the apartment. New requests to meet up will appear each time you leave and return. 2. Make sure you play at least one bout in the Armax Arena combat simulator. There are a couple of meet-ups that won't trigger unless you do. 3. There are three meet-ups you won't get emails about. Just keep your eyes open for prompts when you're in the Casino.
@@davida.j.berner776 And 2 of the 3 'hidden' meet ups are in my top 3 favourites (and Basic hasn't done the other one yet either). (Just trying to entice her more)
YES! You couldn't have left this video off at a better place!! This DLC is so good, in no small part due to having so much more Kaidan content and some of his best lines. I loved getting the one-on-one time with him finally. I love all the outings with the rest of the crew, too, and the party is so much fun. I'm looking forward to it!
1:14:49 It's this moment right here where you can see that Shepard's clone is really a tragic character. I think you have to keep in mind that she has only been awake for six months. The only reason she's able to function beyond the level of a toddler is the neural implants she received, and there's no telling how much anti-alien and anti-Shepard propaganda Brooks fed into her brain during that time. The same kind of thing could have happened to Grunt in Mass Effect 2, but Okeer's hate-filled imprints didn't take. But what if Shepard's clone had similar imprints and they DID take, causing her to hate whatever and whomever Brooks wanted her to hate? Even without any imprints, you would have an extreme level of manipulation from Brooks right from the beginning, causing Shepard's clone to believe that she deserves to take over Shepard's life. And when it all comes crashing down, Brooks -- the only person Shepard's clone has ever had a close relationship with -- abandons her. That's really sad.
Agreed. That's why the Paragon choice hits so hard for me. I won't explain in case Basic ever wants to see that outcome, but it's definitely worth watching.
this DLC is a bundle of pure joy. The plot was fun and entertaining while still making sense within the context of the game for the most part, the moments were handcrafted to perfection (legitimately, the romance scenes for everyone were such a blessing) and the whole thing is a love letter. I love the romance version of the scene you did with Kaidan.
Venture out onto the strip often, do combat sim at least once... then you will keep getting requests for invites to the apartment... its the best way to get the most interactions with former and current squadmates before the party. Love the playthrough!
When Mass Effect 3 first came out I did insanity with a soldier and didn’t have much trouble with the clone fight but when the legendary edition came out I did my first play through of it on insanity as a vanguard and that fight gave me a deep understanding of what the bad guys went through fighting me 😂
Not sure if you'll read this but sometime down the road you might reload where you got on the Normandy chasing the clone or TH-cam this. There are a couple more funny things said about your hamster, just sayin' We are really enjoying watching your play through, it's like that feeling when we played the game the first time but through you.
javik's comments about not getting selected are numbers based the game is programmed to have your least used squad mate whine about never getting picked. its always interesting to see who people used the least.
1:07:30 hmm when both shepards omni blades hit and disconnect, you can hear a spoiler from priority Cerberus. I never caught that as my shepard was always a dude and I figured it was him lol
This DLC cracks me up, love the banter. Also maybe saw in editing or if watch the video...Brooks keeps getting up even after her head exploded once.....🤣
If you haven't seen the Garrus tango romance scene in the bar (the scene where he flirts with the female Turian if you're not romancing him), you are *MISSING. OUT.* That scene is *_FIRE._* And also the only time Shepard actually sounds scared. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
For those final interrupts with the Clone and Brooks, I always choose renegade. They tried to kill me repeatedly, and literally steal my identity. Should I show them compassion? Nope.
Ok, hold up a sec. WHAT DO YOU M,EAN you've never seen Die Hard?! I think that's a christmas streaming idea right there for you! Not sure about copywrite though, but I'm sure you'll find a way!
So I thiiiink what they're trying to say is that you're still the original shepard, rebuilt, and the clone(s?) were created for parts harvesting. It's easier to get an organ donor if you grow it yourself. Which is why I completely understand why ur-shepard is so pissed off.
Basic you want a funny underappreciated date movie, watch Blind Date, an early Bruce Willis and Kim Basinger movie. I think it would suit your sense of humour, and it was pre Die Hard
Haha I've already gotten the huevos rancheros line with James a few episodes ago, which is why I said that. As for ordering pizza, that's a pretty no brainer comment to make to a house full of hungry friends!
I've heard the Garrus romance is great, but he is too much like me for me to actively want to romance him. I'm 64 episodes into my Kaidan loyal romance and having the absolute best time ☺
@@basicwitgirl You do you girl. This game has exceptional replay ability. I have played through the trilogy over 43 times and have done every outcome. I was just giving my opinion. If you want the very best of all romances play through the Garrus one. No one like Kaidan for a reason.
no, your comments on my playthrough have been nothing but rude, so I’m matching that energy😇 I told you I wasn’t interested in your suggested romance bc I was very happy with the one I went with. You responded by insulting that character. If anyone here is the child, it’s you🙂👍🏻
You know when you're kind of having a rough day but your favourite youtuber uploads the next part of your favourite dlc of your favourite series and then everything seems a little bit better? 🫶
Big place! So many places to... get into some trouble 🤣. I adore this. I'm seeing things I haven't before and new lines. I got to play this dlc for the first time on my fourth playthrough, and it made me so damn happy. It seems like you are too. Love to see it. This is truly a love letter to the fans. This is my favorite DLC on the citadel. Good job fighting yourself. People hype that up to be so insane, but I managed on hardcore difficulty. It's not tooooo bad if you know what you're doing. That cloak seems to help immensely to haha. Sidenote... I had a feeling you'd go renegade against Brooks and the fake Shepard. I just knew it. I'm looking forward to see you experience the end of this game, but I'm not ready for it to be over... From under the normandy LED 🫡
OK OK OK I'LL WATCH DIE HARD

I love that when they called EDI a sexbot your response was "she's more than that" which is not exactly a denial.
I mean....Joker definitely using that special feature
@@basicwitgirl but Jack also calls Edi sexbot and players: happy cool faces.
"Noone steals my ship! Not even me!" Um shepard you stole the Normandy in the first game 😂😂😂😂
ME 1: Shepard steals the Normandy from the Citadel
ME 2: Shepard steals the Normandy from Cerberus
ME 3: Shepard steals the Normandy from Shepard
Javik and Grunt's special outings are my favorite every time 🤌🏻🤌🏻
OMG I never noticed that James' dumbbells roll around on the floor during that last fight! That is such a cool little detail.
It's the little things that make the game so amazing!
She missed the big stupid jellyfish line 😢😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭
So sad that the game will end soon. You nailed this playthrough
I'm so sad too!! Glad you have enjoyed the ride o7
Venture out onto the strip often, do combat sim at least once... then you will keep getting requests for invites to the apartment... its the best way to get the most interactions with former and current squadmates before the party. Love the playthrough!
We better see Basic with some "I should go" merch now 😂
I love watching you experience Mass Effect the citadel DLC for the first time,e it really is well done fan service.
I’m so glad you’re enjoying it!
I loved this so much! I can't think about this series coming to an end without getting a little emotional. This has been the best journey!
When Mass Effect 3 first came out I did insanity with a soldier and didn’t have much trouble with the clone fight but when the legendary edition came out I did my first play through of it on insanity as a vanguard and that fight gave me a deep understanding of what the bad guys went through fighting me 😂
Such a fun mission. Love all the chatter/jokes
5:22 not wanting to call and order pizza...I laughed so much when you said that (cause you know...)
Yeah this dlc is all about comedy relief
The real cult of Shepard is the friends we made along the way.
Best possible ending for date with Kaidan.
lol Kaidan's dream .., @ 17:40 do you want to join ? we have pizza back at the apartment ... 😊
yup 😌
"why I let clone live?"
Well spare lungs, or arm
Or potential for the next game?
"We are going to every single fancy dress gala that we are invited to [...] but think of _future_ fancy dress galas!" Oh, what a nice thought...
I just finished the series for the first time I was just as obsessed as you are. idk how I never played this game until now

"Do you think all you comedians could cut the chatter and shoot the bad guys" Something like that.

"UNCLE URDNOT'S GOT A PRESENT FOR YA!" literally a line from Wrex in combat if you bring him on the archive mission
It's great to see you happy, This DLC is my favorite and these moments with Kaidan are the best. He's quite talented, isn't he?
This DLC cracks me up, love the banter. Also maybe saw in editing or if watch the video...Brooks keeps getting up even after her head exploded once.....🤣
The clone revives her
1:42:24 I never thought I'd see someone literally melt in their seat.
slippery when w- I MEAN WHAT????
We saw it in the previous episode when basic disappeared 😅
Gonna miss getting in trouble with Commander Basique and the crew 😢 also best plot twist ever!?! Can’t wait to start my own playthrough 🎉
Looking good, Sniper Girl!💛✌
BWG entertaining!👍😃
Go for the eyes, Boo!
6:33 You absolutely should watch Die Hard.
This is awesome! 😂
You should do a reaction video of all the other cut-scene dialogs if you take different companions! EDI is the BEST honestly!
Best surprise quest 😲😂👍👍
Omg! You got to share screen time with thee Blasto!!!
Pizza Delivery Volus is the best!! Also.....GAH DANG KAIDAN ALENKO IS SO HOT HERE!!!
GNAWING AT THE BARS OF MY ENCLOSURE
If you haven't seen the Garrus tango romance scene in the bar (the scene where he flirts with the female Turian if you're not romancing him), you are *MISSING. OUT.* That scene is *_FIRE._* And also the only time Shepard actually sounds scared. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
2:03 Joker: commander, you know we’re still here right? You can do that when all this is over
I've been telling everyone to get out of my apartment!! it's their fault for not listening!!
I've never seen Die Har--
Unsubscribed. Reported. Angry letter being drawn up. Petition signed.
I was also appalled when I heard her say that about my favourite Christmas movie.
absolutely this!
@@jarsenaultj I see the bait and sincerely hope someone bites 😅✊🏿
Damn, didn't realize Kaiden was so smooth. I wonder if he can help me get Aria.
At the scene right after you escape the vault, try bringing EDI to stop the ship. There’s a funny scene in the car
For those final interrupts with the Clone and Brooks, I always choose renegade. They tried to kill me repeatedly, and literally steal my identity. Should I show them compassion? Nope.
yesssss perfect renegade option
You should definitely put Die Hard on the holiday watch list.
Ah man, you gotta use Wrex in these missions. It's the only few in ME3 he gets to go on, haha.
how long did it really take u to find the invite up button basic don't lie lmaoo amazing episode as always! I'm not ok with this ending soon sobs
Basics never seen Die Hard… well Christmas is coming and it’s a Christmas movie… get on it :-)
on xmas season there needs to be a die hard marathon on the discord 💅
Never seen Die Hard? THE best Christmas movie of all time?? Ho-Ho-Ho
Oh no, it's sluggard!!!!
23:11 Kaidan "Big Place" ....wow Basic this slap on your legs *bang omg 🙂
Ok, hold up a sec. WHAT DO YOU M,EAN you've never seen Die Hard?!
I think that's a christmas streaming idea right there for you! Not sure about copywrite though, but I'm sure you'll find a way!
@ 01:16:16 at this point even Liara shoots if Shep hesitates and doesn't protect Brokes
So I thiiiink what they're trying to say is that you're still the original shepard, rebuilt, and the clone(s?) were created for parts harvesting. It's easier to get an organ donor if you grow it yourself.
Which is why I completely understand why ur-shepard is so pissed off.
She's so cool.
Прикольные у тебя прохождения
Hmm...first time I've seen renegade Shepard on this mission. I think I still prefer the dialog in the paragon Shepard conversations.
MAJ Alenko must have some mixed feelings about the whole situation. I guess there is just more Shepard to love...
*Kaidan
Well how was dinner with Kaiden?? 😂😂 I can see you really enjoyed it, so far. Remember to keep checking out your messages.
Basic you want a funny underappreciated date movie, watch Blind Date, an early Bruce Willis and Kim Basinger movie. I think it would suit your sense of humour, and it was pre Die Hard
if FemShepi has a romance with Traynor then Shep kiss her @ 01:00:57 *awww 😊
"Ordering pizza" and "huevos rancheros"? Are you sure this is your first play-through?
Haha I've already gotten the huevos rancheros line with James a few episodes ago, which is why I said that. As for ordering pizza, that's a pretty no brainer comment to make to a house full of hungry friends!
