This episode made me sad while recording and then I got to relive the sadness all over again while editing. 😭 I feel so much for Kasumi and what she's lost. I think there's really solid justification for both choices with the Graybox and I'd love to hear what y'all chose and why! Take good care of yourselves!! 💛 EDIT: P.S. if any of you are South African and can lmk if Hock's accent is any good or not I'd love to know!!
Yay, she's back for another Mass Effect adventure. Sorry to hear that Kasumi's mission saddened you. Now I feel sadistic for looking forward to your reactions to the plot lol
When I have the time I try my best!! Gotta juggle my family, friends, full time job, volunteering, and the channel, so I record where I have time & brain space :) I hope in 2023 I'll get to upload more frequently too because I love playing this game!! I appreciate your support 🥰
I noticed you talking about not knowing if you made the right choice moving forward in the story with the decision you made about the greybox. Just remember how much the story mixes between the different installments. Some things you found out in ME1 won't be revisited until ME3. This is truly a saga and not just 3 different self standing episodes. Hell there are even some light elements touched on in ME Andramada. Looking forward to you turning more pages in your story of ME
Really enjoying watching your playthroughs of the Mass Effect series..keep up the great work! As a side note the villain in Kasumi's loyalty mission is meant to have a South African accent...I'm not able to judge if it's a good attempt or not, being from Scotland myself.
you are doing the Kasumi loyalty mission which was pretty cool but I agree with you is very sad I know what you mean 😭 I hope you and your family are doing well ❤️
There is an anime to watch between this game and ME3. I believe that was a cut from it. There are multiple ways to do this mission for Kasumi. You did well on doing the regular way but they programmed alternate paths too. Just more reasons to play again.
Had two renwraiths ME episodes to watch today, much needed! Already commented on the other episode, adding another one here for algorithm reasons. You are so awesome ❤🤙 Edit: The real statue of David is 17 feet tall 😁
Love your reasoning in keeping the graybox though. I chose to destroy the graybox. If an information is so dangerous that it would have consequences for the Alliance and one information which got Keiji killed, I would not risk Kasumi's life in keeping it. Her boyfriend outright states how Kasumi wouldn't be safe with the information on the graybox, and even himself tells her to destroy it. This further states how he really cares for Kasumi and is aware she'll be in danger should she choose to keep it.
This is such a thoughtful and well-reasoned justification!! Y'all are the best, you make me think so much and open my eyes to all the rationales behind the choices you can make in the game.
I reasoned along similar lines and decided that the graybox i perfectly safe where it is. No need to do this heist, except to satisfy Kasumi's honestly self centered desire.
Like LittleBoyBlue who commented earlier I am also Scots and can give a little bit more info on the accent. The voice actor is born in England Canadian national thus probably dodgy South African accent, however, he is also the voice actor for Ken Donnelly and that is why his Scottish accent is so hilariously bad ! Great fun episode as always!
An idea occurred to me Ren; Since mass effect is such a personalised experience and much of the enjoyment of a series like this is seeing what someone thinks about the characters/decisions and where things will go for them, it might be a fun and easy video for you to do of just answering questions people have for you (such as what you think will happen to certain characters or how the game will end). Could post a curiouscat link or something to facilitate it.
Still my favorite loyalty mission and now you know why,tough I gotta say sweet summer Ren,you better get your tissues ready because if this made you sad, the endgame will absolutely wreck you. (Depending on your choices) The Ogre easter egg makes me giggle every time,Dragon Age Origins is such a masterpiece. Oh,and the graybox. I destroyed it. Every time. Too much is at risk. Kasumi's life,other ppl's life. Contains top secret information...Plus it was Keiji's last wish. ( I totally read that last couple of sentences in Mordin's voice and i can't stop laughing WTH)
Think you kinda learned this fighting that Ymir, but it’s definitely the better choice to use charge when your health is low than shockwave as the former puts your shields back to full while the latter has a long animation where you’re vulnerable. You should definitely use the locust smg you earned from kasumi’s mission btw. It’s the only good one in the game and is very accurate even at a distance.
I know charge gives back shields and shockwave leaves me vulnerable! 😄 I'm gonna play and enjoy my way even if it means not doing the perfect ability choices every time! Part of the fun for me is when things get a little chaotic :)
@@renwraiths in that case, if you don’t like charge much you may want to switch to an adept in ME3. You’ll still have shockwave but also gain Warp which is a strong projectile power and singularity, which can leave groups of enemies floating around like balloons 🎈🎈
Yep, as someone who grew up in New Zealand and has lived in the UK since 2004, it was always obvious to me that Hock's voice actor was playing him with a Saffa accent (and that it was not the actor's real accent)
I definitely had a feeling it wasn't the actor's real accent 😇 A dad of one of my closest friends growing up is South African and they would speak Afrikaans at home but clearly Hock's accent just flew right over my head 😂
Seen this before: basically, the gun texture gets applied to her outfit, hence the weird branding on her hood that makes her look like a UK Drill artist 😂
Umm..I hope you have a save to run this mission again. Right behind Kejis graybox was a set of guns you can grab. Called the locusts. its twin machine guns that are pretty strong. If you can re-run the mission I would so you can grab them. They are real strong.
I have to admit, I kept being distracted by the cactus design on your shirt, wondering if there's a deeper meaning to it. Eventually I decided it's just ... dry humor. 😎 Donovan Hock's voice actor is doing a, let's say, reasonably creditable version of a South African accent. Wouldn't fool a native for a minute, but if you know it you recognize what he's doing.
Guess who's back Back again Ren is back Tell some... Mass Effect fans 😁 I usually tell her to honor Keiji's request, but on my last playthrough I let her keep it. I see the merit in both too...
@@renwraiths Yeah, like a lot of the choices. 😄 Tho' I usually make like... 90% the same choices in my playthroughs... 😅 But these days I'm trying to roleplay more in my rpgs (that allows for it), not just go by what I would do, so maybe it's time for another ME run... 😁
@@eXtotheZee Omg extremely relatable. I always tell myself after I complete a playthrough where I'm nice the whole time, I'll play a villain run and do I ever?? NOPE 🤣
@@renwraiths I actually managed to get to a point where I can play a "bad guy" but I can't ever be an asshole with my companions. That's where I draw the line. 😂 Oh, and @ 29:36 - that's an Ogre from Dragon Age! If I remember right, we also get to see a Krogan head at some point in the DA series. 🙂

That villain had some nice art pieces in the game 😊👍
Donovan Hock has a passing example of an Africaans accent
"You'd look out of place in armour, Shepard! Meanwhile I'm going in using my Secret Assassin outfit."
Exceptions are made for Kasumi clearly 🤣
The "Creature" in the vault is an ogre from Dragon Age! And the party you go to in Dragon Age: Inquisition has a mounted Krogan head on the wall (:
Omg how did I miss that!! Tempting me to start DA:I again but if I do I'll never get anything done!
@@renwraiths No rush, you can do DA:I after ME3 (:
Yay, she's back for another Mass Effect adventure. Sorry to hear that Kasumi's mission saddened you. Now I feel sadistic for looking forward to your reactions to the plot lol
LOL i'm ready to cry 🙈
This feels like ASMR Mass Effect. Love it!
That's such a sweet compliment tysm I'm so glad you're enjoying!! :)
I hope you upload Mass effect videos more frequently. It's my favorite 💯

Excellent Episode Ren!! 😀
You're such an angel what the heck 😭 😭 😭 Thank you!!!!
@@renwraiths I know it’s a bit down the way but do you plan on playing Andromeda? It’s a huge game hours of content. Not to give a lot away.
@@Aguie16 yes i definitely do! I’ve heard it wasn’t as well received as ME1-3 but I still wanna try it and give it a chance :)

The little krogan anime was from Mass Effect: Galaxy, a mobile game that featured Miranda and Jacob.

That moment when I realized we're wearing the same shirt 😭 I was like damn that's a cute shirt and then looked down at mine ahh 💖
Stop I LOVE that!!! It is a cute shirt isn't it!! I'm excited we match 🥰
@@renwraiths it is such a cute shirt!! Just absolutely loved the serotonin boost it gave me lol 💖
Big serotonin boost hearing you have the same one! ❣️

Oh I LOVE this idea!! I would absolutely do something like that, it could be so fun!
@@renwraiths Wooop! Got a few questions of my own to ask. There are a couple of twists coming up and it’ll be cool to see if you see them coming 👀

Hock's accent is Afrikaans, although I just thought the voice actor was shooting for something unique. Guess I need to study my Afrikaans a bit more.
Yep, as someone who grew up in New Zealand and has lived in the UK since 2004, it was always obvious to me that Hock's voice actor was playing him with a Saffa accent (and that it was not the actor's real accent)

What the heck happened to the texture on Kasumi's outfit?? Never seen that happen before
i have a special talent for summoning all the glitches 😁
Seen this before: basically, the gun texture gets applied to her outfit, hence the weird branding on her hood that makes her look like a UK Drill artist 😂
Missed a valuable asset in the vault though. You srem very observant and thorough so I thought you might have found it if just for a bit longer.
I try my best to be thorough and grab everything but I'm 100% going to miss some things on a first playthrough!
@@renwraiths naturally! I do not put any blame on it! Just advice for a second playthrough, from someone who has way to many hours in these games 😁
I have way too many excuses to play the series again and I'm excited about it!! 😊
Are you talking about the Locust? If so, you get it anyway.
@@joestacey6185 played this too much so I never miss it anymore. That detail was sorted out in my brain xD
That dnd statue was a standard ogre from dragon age, another bioware game.
That’s what others said too! I’ve only played Inquisition but really wanna try out 2 and Origins at some point!
Umm..I hope you have a save to run this mission again. Right behind Kejis graybox was a set of guns you can grab. Called the locusts. its twin machine guns that are pretty strong. If you can re-run the mission I would so you can grab them. They are real strong.
You get them at the end even if you don’t pick them up. It was in the mission accomplished screen.
@@Glennstevenson822 gotcha, totally missed that. Thought it was a have to grab or it's missed
kasumi's stealth suit looked different in my version, i think. do you have some dlc or mods installed, or am i just not remembering right?
I have whatever comes with the LE for console! Nothing extra installed outside of that. I just assumed her suit got glitchy 😁
I have to admit, I kept being distracted by the cactus design on your shirt, wondering if there's a deeper meaning to it.

LOLLL the innocence of youth 🤣
@@renwraiths haha right, so who’s your favorite companion in game so far
@@Mo_Mudabber grunt is growing on me 🥰 mordin’s still my number one rn but he better watch out!
Hock’s accent is SouthAfrican. Specifically Afrikaaner (ie, he speaks Afrikaans).
Guess who's back
Back again
Ren is back
Tell some... Mass Effect fans 😁
I usually tell her to honor Keiji's request, but on my last playthrough I let her keep it. I see the merit in both too...

It's got a whole bunch of cacti 🌵 species on it! :)
@@renwraiths well I love it☺️
@@johnb7627 Thank you :) yellow and cacti are my absolute favourite!
Without saying much ull find out the results of letting Kasumi keep the box if you get to me3.
I believe the accent is South African.
Yes it is you’re correct! :)
Hock is as I take it to be a Slavic accent?
Afrikaans accent from South Africa. It's a derivative of the Dutch language, so their accents are a bit germanic.
I let her keep the graybox because it helps her feel more comfortable that she still has a part of him 🥲🥲❤️❤️
Exactly my thoughts too 💔
