This is where Mass Effect evolved from a good game into an all-time classic.
"World by world...system by system, they methodically wiped us out..."
- Vigil
"I do not sense the taint of indoctrination upon any of you. Unlike the other that passed recently. Perhaps there is still hope."
@@ashtonpeterson4618 "The Reapers are alien, unknowable. Perhaps they need slaves or resources. More likely they are driven by motives and goals organic beings cannot hope to comprehend.
In the end, what does it matter? Your survival depends on stopping them, not in understanding them."
@@ekhidna4 "You are safe here, for the moment. But that is likely to change. Soon, nowhere will be safe." The most ominous line in the conversation I think.
Got chills just from reading that.
@@ekhidna4 The writers of ME3 should have played the first game.
"You are not Prothean. But you are not machine either. This eventuality was one of many that was anticipated. This is why we sent our warning through the beacons."
jajaj well... said!;)
i remember that line!;)
What a game . Hail Shepard the savior .
I had always hoped that the writers were going to take the ending of the series and tie it back to Ilos and the few Protheans who had made it back to the Citadel after the invasion was complete. Their story alone could save the franchise.
Music that echoes the voices of those who have come before. It speaks of hope and mystery but also sadness and loss.
beautiful words
This song makes me so nostalgic I almost feel like I could cry. 10+ years since this game came out now. Where does the time go?
Forever in our hearts
haven't aged a day in my heart
There is no past or future, only now, and when you realize that you will take in as much as you can in the moment.
@Greatjon Umber I feel you .
@Timothy Brandriff Garrus Vakarian ?
"No offer of surrender was ever given."
Thank you for this request, its much appreciated. This track is very beautiful, this track tells how good Mass Effect is. One of the strongest track in Mass Effect history.
Hackett out.
Very cool part of the game, thanks for posting.
I'm not crying you're crying
Hackett is from Buenos Aires! Vamos Argentina carajo!
@@Naindurth Bom te ver meu amigo.
Hackett out.
I really enjoy seeing Admiral Hackett making comments on Gaming Ambience Mass Effect one and two videos - I mean, how cool is that?
In my 3 decades of playing games, Mass Effect is one of the very few games to truly make me feel as if I am part of it. The characters, the atmosphere and of course the music. A truly remarkable game.
Countless civilizations wiped out because they did not have what we have. A badass Commander Shepard and the kickass crew of the Normandy!
"You are safe here for the moment, but that is likely to change. Soon, nowhere will be safe."
I finished for the first time ME1 yesterday (thanks PS+) - when the doors opened and the Mako descended, and this piece started... I stopped driving and just took in the moment. The gigantic Prothean Archive, combined with this music, feels just so out of this world. What a game!
*I finished ME1 for the first time (sorry for the sentence structure brainfart)
@@FHT1883 Ilos sticks with you, forever. I really loved all of Mass Effect one - it was so amazing that it totally blew me away. I wish that Humanity was on the cusp of joining the Galactic Community - I'd pay nearly any price to be there and experience it.
Still one of the most evocative themes in video games.
Sad, yet hopeful.
50,000 years ago, Ilos was the last hope of the Prothean Empire - and you feel it with this music as well as the look of the place. No game has moved me like Mas Ef3ect 1 has.
Don't know how I ended up here but I'm proud of myself.
Peaceful, yet a little disturbing. But I really love it.
Part of my Soul will always be on Ilos.
At this point in the game, mass effect was such a good experience. It was already in my favorite games by this point. But seeing this planet for the first time, and experiencing the music and lore… it’s a feeling of awe and mystery. It brought the full weight of the desperation of a race that was over the edge of extinction. They were done. But the tune offered hope. Hope In a galaxy bound for darkness. As much as I love the sequels, playing this game for the first time will always stand on its own. A masterpiece.
"what are all those things on the walls?"
"probably cryogenic stasis pods. the prothians likely tried to keep themselves alive through cryogenic freezing but something went horribly wrong and this bunker became their tomb. the pods, as well as anyone inside, are dead"
"what does Saren want with this place, there's nothing left but corpses"
let's remember those who forever went to sleep and who died to give this cycle hope.
the first and last song heard in the games. me1 title screen all the way to the stargazer at the end of me3
ME3 is an insult to Ilos AND the Protheans.
@@tonycmac why though?
@@truaitchgoldi2963 Because the story never took us back to Ilos, and we never got any information on the last of the Protheans that took the Conduit back to the Citadel. Ilos was a place of wonder and amazement, the last stand of the Protheans - the last bastion of their Empire and technology. Also, "Day 1 DLC" as BioWare called it was some major bull - along with the terribly written cliche that was Javik.
@@tonycmac Wasnt it mentioned in Mass Effect 2, I believe though Im not sure, by the salarian Dalatrass that Vigil shut down and therefore there is no more valuable information to get from Ilos since the whole compound went dark? But I definitely agree that there should have been a bigger focus on that. Bad writing is inevitable I guess but I think they portrayed it the way they did to show how much humanity accomplished through the remnants of Prothean technology, in the end the Mass Effect games are always focused around humanity and not the Protheans especially in ME3 there was not much space to fit in Prothean lore with a big ass Reaper invasion going on.
@@truaitchgoldi2963 The council mentions in ME2 that Vigil became non-operational. The facility is not "dark" per se, but most of it is non-functional. There are a few reasons to get back to Ilos from a gaming and story standpoint. The Protheans were far more advanced in their cycle than we are in ours. Gathering and learning from their left behind tech would advance us greatly in the Reaper war. Often in story writing you try to bring things "Full Circle". Ilos would have been a great way to accomplish this, especially because the Conduit could still grant access to the Citadel (for instance). A huge amount of ME1 focused on the Protheans (and the Reapers who led us to believe that all of this tech was actually Prothean). One of the main enemies in ME2 are the Collectors, who are nothing but re-purposed Protheans. The Protheans are / were a big part of ME3 as well with characters such as Javik and the Prothean VI named Vendetta. If you recall, Vigil in ME1 had a way to detect if organics were Indoctrinated - this would have been a key tool to help our cycle weed out both Cerberus agents as well as Reaper influenced minds. There were a lot of reasons to get back to Ilos that BioWare ignored. The Protheans gave our cycle a fighting chance and they could have done more if the writers of ME3 had more time to flesh the story. Lastly, one of the things that was so amazing about ME1 was the fact that it was not human centered - Humanity was not the top-dog dominant force. We didn't even have a seat on the Council. We had to earn that seat, and I really liked that. Had it not been for Tali and Garrus in ME1 the whole show might have gone up in smoke if Sovereign's attack had come to the Citadel as a complete surprise. Shepard's conversation with Navigator Pressley about having aliens on the ship firmly put down the fact that humanity was finally beyond racism and "species-ism", and that we needed to work together. These are just a few of the reasons that I enjoyed Mass Effect so much, and why I had such high hopes for ME3.
ME1 is so unique....I love the sequels but this soundtrack is something else.
Vigil and Final Fantasy's Prelude are the best gaming themes ever created 🧡... Gives me the feels every time 🥲.
There is just something so mystical and ethereal about this melody, in particular the part which you hear mainly in the actual 'Virgil' OST. Really makes me wish I was back in school experiencing this game for the first time, what a beautiful experience.
This is all I wanted, thank you, my life is literally complete.
this song gives me the strongest goosebumps and makes me love mass effect so much my eyes become wet. one of my favourite soundtracks, it makes me feel nostalgic about the time i never experienced. there is something so ancient in it and yet so powerful and almighty. i got so awed by protheans while playing for the first time that i think i totally understood what liara felt when a breathing living prothean was standing right in front of her.
i fucking love mass effect.
And that's why I started a new playthrough 👍
@@bubthegreat1 I just began a new playthrough today. Every once in a while you get a new interaction from squaddies. Today I heard stuff from Ash and Tali in an elevator that I have never heard before - or at least I forgot those lines.
Please Bioware, tell us more about The Shepard :(
I’m Commander Shepard and this is my favorite song on the Citadel
Reminds me of a dream, shepard was not just a name but a title, he was standing in a white room, behind him was javik, behind javik was a tentacle Faced innusannon named river. Behind him again was a four armed woman in white armor with a ornate crown and face visor. Her name was ozz. Infront of shepard was a yahg in armor that was a cross between krogan and n7 . Its name was novak.
21:17
All I could think of is standing on top of a hill, overlooking the city of Los Angeles on a 7 o’clock Summer evening during a beautiful sunset, with that smog in the air, that hazy aesthetic with the orange hues that so spread throughout the sky and whole city... That’s what comes to mind when I hear this 🌇
самая лучшая тема со всей трилогии, такая ностальгическая, её в ключевых моментах включают и сразу вспоминается 1 часть, старые добрые деньки.
Mass Effect 1 is and remains my favourite part of the series ... talking to Virgil was so cool!
How utterly beautiful this was and still is ...
This has to be one of the most iconic themes of the ME trilogy. Whenever I hear it, I remember the instances it was used in-game so vividly...Time for another complete playthrough I think.
This music reminds me of good old times when videogames still felt magical and real in the sense that each of them felt like a small world that exists somewhere. Nowadays I don't feel that with any game and I know for sure that it's not games that's wrong - it's me who is not the same anymore. This makes me sad, but grateful that Mass Effect was such an important part of my life.
I think problem IS in nowadays games. They are done by marketers, not by developers. Im talking about AAA games of course.
Amazing how a video game can be this emotional and memorable.
the mission on ILOS of MASS EFFECT 1 has charms that have not been able to create thanks I got excited
The calm before the storm.
Hearing this music and these moments in the game really moved me. Like you said, the "Storm" was so far over the top in terms of decisions and Epic proportion that I wish I could do it all over again for the first time.
Mass Effect one was such an amazing experience. So many worlds to visit, so many incredible views - I would love to live in a time when humanity was reaching for the stars like that.... As long as Mass Effect 3 never exists.
but we learned our lesson from this observation, there is no rectilinear evolution of gaming (or our society, lol), there are just happy accidents from time to time. And it all came down to one mastermind, his name is casey hudson. It was his Vision, one man made mass effect possible. You can not repeat Art. It stands for itself alone....
@@swizzlefirma9750 Mass Effect was an accidental convergence of story, music, beautiful worlds, combat armors, items, ships, guns and aliens that were all culturally different and somehow very human. I guess you could say that it was magical - and in no small part due to the voice acting as well. The MEU had history and mystery. I really do miss it.
I can live with Mass Effect 3 up to a point, it's just such a shame they saw fit to end the series & wave good bye to the MEU with such an idiotic & nonsensical ending, left a helluva bad taste in the mouth.
@@swizzlefirma9750 Think you've hit the nail on the head here. It's art and you cannot replicate art. Sure, you can improve on a lot of stuff from a technical stand point, but not the emotion that the original art piece evokes. ME3 came close but the rest of the trilogy to me feels a bit soulless compared to the magic of ME1. In fact it's so good that the end credit song might be my favourite piece of music - I only allow myself to play it upon finishing the entire game.
@@drew-uk6976 I appreciate Mass Effect 3 before the ending happens. I genuinely believe in the indoctrination theory which explains why Shepard lives in the "Destroy" ending. The other two make no sense and only seems like a win for the Reapers. That final decision was Shepard's last test on what the fate would be for the galaxy. Still, Bioware dropped the ball on the whole thing...
Soo are you trying to get me to beat this game for the 100th time or...?
Yes! get to it. Chop chop
Why not? You can do what you love while possibly breaking a world record xD
I'm in! Let's do it! I'm NO where near 100 full playthroughs, but I will have another go at it.
Like for real, I want to go back
@@bombomos Now, are you referring to the Eddie Money song, or Mass Effect? Because I really am on yet another ME1 playthrough. I just took down Hades Dogs :)
Almost perfect..
And I say almost, because the beating is missing - the two beats, like a heartbeat, that you hear during your ride in the Ilos Archives with Mako..
Those beats make it epic..
Oh yeah, that heartbeat adds so much to this ambience. Such a powerful and moving sequence.
One day our own civilization will be gone too, either through destruction or progression, English, French and Spanish languages will all disappear, New York, London, Paris, Rome will cease to exist...... the inevitable consequence of time.....
In my own life I have seen entire neighbourhoods from childhood vanish without a trace, Favoured shops and attractions no where to be seen anymore, Parks and wooded lands buried under concrete or sea, Culture shifts and changes to new youthful minds and trends, With each new generation something is lost, In the end all you ever have is the better part of a hundred years to experience the world with your peers.
A toast to all of us that got to play this game back in 2007 with bright eyes and unlimited imaginations.
This was the best part of ME1. Gave me vibes of Rendezvous With Rama. Sad, but hopeful. Great video, mate!!
you know...;) when i saw llos. i was soo interesting to know what or who were in those pods... soo many of them. the site music of it. makes me more interesting in playing mass effect again just to understand it more. and thiss music... is soo extronary. astonishing. soothing. very celestial... its world ive never seen before... thats why i love mass eeffect soo much...;)
I love Mass Effect! 😊💖
Невероятная атмосфера! Вообще все треки из Mass Effect великолепны! Композитор потрудился на славу!
This part is always so captivating with this beautiful music. Makes me cry every time...
The Protheans of ME1 were so different to the other games.. In ME3, they forgot about all the Prothean statues on Ilos.
BioWhore retconned them because they were too hard to animate.
Ilos landscape reminds me of H.R.Giger's artworks and "Blame!" manga.
On one of my playthroughs I was messing around with the thrusters and boosters on the Mako, and I managed to turn it over. It wouldn't flip right-side up for the longest time. I sat there, with the Mako nudging helplessly on its back with wheels turning on air, and I thought about how that would be such a hilariously pitiful way for this cycle to end.
You know what you could try? Go into the area where Vigil is located, but do not talk to it. Just record the music with the thrumming in the background. It's actually pretty awesome.
I picked up Mass Effect Legendary Edition recently. Working my way through 2, but this moment was when they really grabbed me with the lore.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
❤
When I first played Mass Effect, I was 7 and I got to this part and my game just wouldn't go any further due to the disc being damaged when I got it... now at 22 I went back and decided I was going to complete the series as a whole and it was one hell of a ride remembering everything about the first one since it left a huge impression on little me, then ME2 and 3 took me even further on the adventure and I just gotta say...I'm glad I decided to go back, I'm glad I was able to immerse myself in a world so alien yet so familiar and meet many characters who I grew to love and felt sincere emotion with everything we knew on them...definitely my favorite series, I have all the originals, and the legendary editions on pc n xbox...I'm hopeful for the 4th game and even with all the negativity around andromeda...I think I'm ready to jump into that story and hopefully make the most out of that adventure as well.
Vigil is the best theme in game history...
One of the best original IP series. Despite the issues with ME3's ending and MEA, it is still one of the best series of games ever IMO. I hope they resurrect it one day, but only if Bioware can stop sucking air when it comes to crafting a good story.
Absolutely wonderful
You replied so fast TH-cam marked it as spam lol
So maybe I am a robot and never realized it before :) Have a nice weekend!
This is one of my favorite Mass effect tracks alongside End once and for all
Iconic, when I got to this scene, I still had so little idea of what protheans were. The moment you finally interact with Vigil was defining the first direct contact with Prothean civilization through conversation and I loved every minute of it. Later learning that this is actually in the ruins of the Inusannon civilization made it that much more incredible.
Thank you so very much for this, you've reminded me it's high time i revisited the MEU for yet another play thru as it's been awhile...
Everytime......every DAMN time I play the first mass effect I always sit at the title screen just to listen to the music for an hour. So many hours, so many playthrough of the franchise. 2007-2014 it was mostly mass effect that got me through some bad times haha. Then destiny came out but that is for another day
I love this, thank you for uploading. It's one of my favorite parts in one of the best game experiences out there, taking place in Mass Effect. This is no ordinary musical composition. I feel like when I listen to this track, I am being welcomed to a place I've always been longing for, that goes beyond my wildest dreams and imagining. This song is one other thing that makes me committed to keep moving forward until the end. Towards a new beginning.
mass effect was probably the best game series created that i played
Thank you for this hour long version of such a magically mysterious and beautiful track. It sort of makes feel sorry for both Protheans and the Reapers. The Protheans were a seemingly peaceful and incredibly advanced race of people who have been arbitrarily wiped out because of another race's insatiable appetite for expansion and domination in the Universe. Has anyone seen the film i, robot and the TV show called Stargate SG-1?
There's a quote on i, robot mentioning how robots are designed and manufactured by other robots, there's no Human presence from exception to production. Well, to me, that's where I feel that the Reapers came from.
Only the robots who designed them don't share any resemblance to their successors. And similar to the Replicators on Stargate SG-1, all the Reapers want to do is take over and consume everything, until there's nothing left.
Imagine what that must be like, to have no real purpose or meaningful end goal. The only thing compelling them onward is just wanting to consume and turn everything into more of what they are. No feelings to drive them, just logic. Even machines need a purpose.
But let's just say they accomplished that, then what? are they just going to go dormant, or fester until they rot away, that's if they would actually rot.
Gives a whole new meaning to "it's lonely at the top" 😋
If they did succeed at doing all that, on the plus side for them, I hear machines don't get bored 😆
Since it’s Mass Effect- related, this is personally the most worthy recommendation I’ve had.
It's just amazing. I'm listening this all day long.
Amazing track. Thank you!
Mass Effect trilogy...I'm so love you 🌌✈
1 and 2 anyhow. 3, not so much. I would prefer that the games live up to the Music.
@@tonycmac anyway, the ME trilogy is better than Andromeda . Agreed about music
@@vulpesinculta76 I never purchased Andromeduhh, but I agree with you.
@@tonycmacthe Andromeda should be more better than trilogy... saddest thing is when its didn't happen :(
@@vulpesinculta76 Take a look at Anthem - proof positive that BioWhore has been bleeding talent since ME2 wrapped up.
Quite a few songs on this game were memorable but not as memorable as this one. This song is very serene, I love it!
I'll be damned. This track reminds me so much of Tali's final questline on Rannoch.
What a masterpiece, maaaaan oh man, hopefully we'll experience something similar in the PS5/SeX generation.
This is so perfect - i can listen this everyday 24/7 !! THANK YOU!
p.s. -- You should make "Mass Effect 3 Leviathan Score: Grief " 1 hours version. Ambient and calm voice/choir after 1:35 is magnificent! You should try))
Wonderful!
it was a great musical reprise, pprobably from here to the end my favourite section of the game
Thank you for fulfilling my wish for this track. Love your channel for growing such great content. As Grizz from ME2 says: Keep up the good work!
That's what Preitor Gavorn says as well!
In truth, we didn't expect any of the beacons would still function, but we had to try.
that is a perfect fit for the remains of a previous interstellar race :D
grand and peaceful
it's memorial day and this fits it setting pretty well
This part is why ME1 is the best
what's crazy is in the from ashes DLC in mass effect 3 all the flash backs prothean architecture looked exactly the same as the bunker you drove down on ilos. protheans had beautiful highly advanced cities and the ability to hold people in stasis for 50,000 years showed that. If only they had been a little more secretive about it the reapers wouldn't of found out any maybe more than just Javik would have survived.
and the way it lookks. never ever have i seen anything like it before!;)
This kept me calm and sane while reading the news. That's saying something.
the legend is being REBORN
Reborn as a cash grab maybe, with no new content. Not to mention not fixing those rancid dogfart endings, and no MultiPlayer. Still, moments like Ilos in 4K might make it worth the buy. I might get the LE when it hits the bargain bin. There will never be another game like ME1 again, and it saddens me.
I wanted to cry, dont know the reason...but anyway thank you for uploading...
I love EDI but I wish they would’ve given us the choice to download Virgil and upload him to the Normandy. They could’ve even had him die in the beginning of ME2 when Normandy 1 goes boom.
Who is Virgil? Have you been watching Tombstone again while drinking?
Ilos is beautiful ❤️
Back when the Protheans were largely unknown, with no image to their face. The statues on their world did not reflect them, but possibly an even older civilization prior to them.
That's actually false. Those statues were meant to be the Protheans, originally. They were too hard to animate, so they were re-written to be the Inusannon. Given BioWare's current inability to animate faces, I find this to be mildly amusing.
I can't wait for the remaster 🤩
I'll patiently wait. The issue is that they are not fixing the whole trilogy (especially the ending(s)), only bits and pieces here and there - and Miri's butt shots. They are calling it the Legendary Edition, but it seems to me to be as legendary cash grab. Moments like Ilos and meeting Vigil make the game for me far more than some up-textures that you can get for free from the Nexus.
A real thought provoking masterpiece. I mean, I don't need music to drift off and wonder what mysteries lie beyond our own understanding. But this does increase that kind of thinking tenfold. I mean, humanity is divided right? Via politics, war, religion, the colour of your skin and so many other things. Why is it, that so few of us wonder about the universe as a whole, want to witness or gaze upon the unknown. I don't care about the colour of one's skin, religion or war. I believe we could learn from one another, and go far beyond the generic shit that is spoon fed to us daily.
Sorry for the rant, I'm just fed up of seeing us destroy not only ourselves, but everything around us too.
So you are saying that if we find an inactive Mass Relay in the outer reached of the solar system, that we should open it? If all of the Turians are as cool as Garrus and Nihlus maybe we could avoid the First Contact war. I'm all for it, as long as the Reapers are imaginary. I think that something like what is portrayed as the future in this game could indeed save humanity. All of the issues that divide us as a species pale in the face of meeting sentient life and working towards becoming part of the Galactic community. This is one of the reasons that I fell in love with Mass Effect.
The sad reality is, humanity is probably never going to get over the issues that divide us. After a few more generations, I don't think we'll even be around.
It was in the 90s that I really got into science fiction stories. Not so much TV shows or movies, but the books my parents had, huge compilations of classic science fiction from around the so-called 'Golden Age" of science fiction.
I was once really optimistic about the future. I was excited about the technological advances we''d make, excited about exploring space and perhaps even populating it, though I didn't think I'd see it in my lifetime, except maybe a moonbase or Mars or something. Yeah, it was pretty naive, but there were so many possibilities ahead of us.
But today, I don't think we have much of a future at all, on Earth let alone off of it. Greed and hatred have divided humanity. Our planet is being exploited by greedy businesses empowered by corrupt politicians, and our fears are exploited by hateful ideologues. We just aren't learning from our mistakes.
If another civilization ever finds us, it will be because they didn't make our mistakes. We'll have nothing to show them or teach them. All we'll have is a record of a people who destroyed themselves and their homeworld.
I hope one day I can look back on this comment and smile at my past self, probably wish I could tell past me that things were going to get better, that humanity as a whole started down a united and sustainable path. But I just don't see it happening, not in my lifetime or afterwards.
Isaac Asimov, one of my favorite authors, said "The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom." While I'm 100% gonna come off as a pretentious arse by dropping a quote, I can't help but think his observation holds true today.
"Tell me another story of the Shepard."
Ashley: Saren will attack the citadel, we must stop him quickly
Shepard: But the music is so nice.. i could dance here
Liara: Is this what human call heaven?
Garrus: It seems abandoned, it could use a bit of calibration
Joker: Do it with the stick you keep in your ass
Ashley: But but
Wrex: Chill out, they maybe have Geth but you have Wrex
Ashley: For God sake, Tali can you help here?
Tali... *drunken quarian noises*
That's why i love Mass effect
I think you really get the impact and the power of the Reapers here ,talking with Vigil and looking that empty archive that was supposed to be the last hope of that cicle and at the end nothing was left ,only Vigil ,like an echo of a failure that you can hear throught the years in that quiet place.
Vigil was not a failure, and neither were the Protheans - at least until we met Javik in ME3.
@@tonycmac Vigil was not the failure but the prothean empire certainly did not achieve victory.
@@musicamusicamusica2944 I get you there. Without the Prothean scientists that went through the Conduit, our cycle would have been Doomed as well. While they failed at surviving, they assisted in defeating the Reapers. I love the ambience of Ilos - you feel the loss.
I like how this very channel already has this very song for 1 hour uploaded under the name mass effect main title screen lol
They're still a bit different, Ilos Archives has more variants of the actual theme, main title video is just 1 :)
@@GamingAmbience interesting
@@phoenixlich Trust me, if ANYone would know, its GamingAmbience. Feel free to look at more of their work on TH-cam - you will see what I mean. Some of my favorites from Mass Effect 1 are The Citadel: Upper Wards and Noveria: Port Hanshan, for instance.
*Hi guys! Tell me please, where I can take the picture, like at first minute!? This so epic and powerful, that just blows the roof!!*
You find this picture/place on Ilos in the Mass Effect 1 game - regular or Legendary editions. You won't see the Vigil's Barriers until well into the mission (and sadly near the ending to the game). I'm keeping my response spoiler free, so that you can discover it for yourself. Trust me when I tell you - it is well worth it.
Looks like concept art, hard to believe that's ingame footage...from a game that's over 10 years old.
It definitely could pass for concept art but like with every video I create and upload I recorded this in-game, I am using a reshade which enhances the colors a bit.
I think there was a missed opportunity here to have a shot of Vigil's hologram.
Vigil get's it's own video considering the variant Vigil theme doesn't play there.
@@GamingAmbience That's really good to know 👍
So this is paradise...

One of the best parts in Mass Effect was curing the genophage. Literally felt real
It felt contrived to me. Mordin is my boy, you know. If you shoot him with his own Carniflex, he dies up there. If you don't shoot him and send him off, he dies up there (not very Paragon). But if you manipulate the circumstances (Renegade) dear Mordin can live on. The writers of ME3 do not understand where their game fell off of the rails - this is but an example.
@@tonycmac I agree. I hope thier next game isn't a bust like Andromeda was
@@dezmondaugustine662 Given recent updates, this is as true now as it ever was. I am, of course referring to the death of Anthem.
I see that both Saren and Sovereign disliked this video.
The last witness of previous civilization.
really good inspires imagination. like even though I know this is a fictional location built by a fictional race I can't help but wonder when I look at this "how could they build this?" what kind of technology would be needed so that such a small population could gather the resources to produce the materials to assemble structures so vast and powerful?

This is actually not a picture, look at the water!
@ UsernameGeri It's a two-second loop. But it sure does make it more immersive!
@@stevejordan7275 It's a straight 10 minute recording, no looping.
@@GamingAmbience "No looping"?
Surely you jest. If the *audio* is an hour long, and you're saying it's a ten-minute recording, *you've looped it six times to fill that hour.*
The *video* uses three CG images, twice each. Number three (and thus, also six) is the actual "just before having the conversation with Vigil" location, and it shows most clearly the animation loop at its source. The "force field" animation loop I was specifically referring to is pretty obviously looped. (it's 2-3 seconds long, and you can see a triangular shape dropping in front of Shepard and team.) The water and force field animations are running different loop lengths, but that doesn't mean they're not looped at the source.
The alternatives would be that each scene is at least 3:20 of 30FPS original animation (which would be heartbreakingly expensive in the early 21st century) or procedurally-generated (which we as a civilisation do not have in any practical sense.)
None of which diminishes the haunting beauty of what you've assembled. Very good work!
Dude how did you get these shiny graphics
Pretty sure he used MEUIMT texture mod with ALOT mods added I believe...
Using both those mods as Nerd_Baller mentioned. They can be found here: www.nexusmods.com/masseffect/mods/1/ as well as www.nexusmods.com/masseffect/mods/83 . Also using a very simple reshade which isn't over the top.
