Miloshmkd As did I. I mean sure, he was a soldier, not a scientist and thus he wouldn't exactly have the answers everyone hoped for. I mean he was born during the time the Reapers were invading, His whole life was fighting them. But he really was not what they expected. We thought also that they were the only space faring society. That's technically true, but only because those they conquered were considered Prothean even if they weren't the same species. And his reactions to learning about what races were now in charge of the Galaxy was amusing. Especially when he discovered how far the Salarians had come. He showed possibly the most despair for the Quarians. He stated even in his cycle they were considered attractive. They even considered the Asari to be the best hope for the next cycle, yet funny enough it was humans that ultimately were. I mean sure, call it favoritism as we ourselves are humans and there are a few moments where it seems that they make humans out to be the best anyway, but when you look at the common traits of each race you see how humanity can be a better savior. The Turians have the best military and are really the only race that was able to fight the Reapers to a standstill, they fight to the bitter end and do what is necessary, however Turians are a bit slower to trust and apart from serving in the military, they're not much use elsewhere. If not for taking on the Volus as a client race their economy wouldn't have been nearly what it is and they would not have been able to get the equipment they need to be a powerful force. The Salarians think incredibly quickly and as they're scientifically minded, they're more likely to come up with a great solution to a problem quickly. But they're not warriors, at best they'd be useful assassins. They prefer their wars won before they start so if a war does begin and is in full swing they're left in some disarray. Asari are wise, have the best economy, are very patient due to their long lives and are all natural biotics. However due to living so long they are not entirely beings of action. They take their time to hone their skills and knowledge. They're not big on change either. Like when Liara's father tried to push for the Asari training their daughters more as warriors rather than just dancing in bars they might be more prepared should the worst come. But of course when all hell broke loose, they had no idea what to do. Krogans are more ruthless and dangerous of warriors than even the Turians, and their fast breeding cycles almost always ensured they had soldiers. This of course is what ultimately lead to the genophage. They're too brutish and have lived as brutes for far too long. Even with Wrex and Eve leading the Krogan back to their roots when they were a more respectable race, it's going to take time because old wounds don't heal as easily. They're still more likely to fight each other making them unreliable. Humans of course do have their faults. They're more selfish, almost as much as a Krogan, and their very ambitious which is why much of the Galaxy doesn't care for them. But due to their short lives, their more likely to take action much like the Turians. But ultimately we're more creatures of faith than the others. The Salarians don't really have a religion, Turians don't either but their closest is that they believe in a collective spirit of their platoons, homeworlds, etc that more is an embodiment of something. The Asari are in a sense like pantheists, seeing the universe as a whole and we just the parts. But when I say humans are more beings of faith, I'm not entirely talking about religion. I'm not saying believing in God, Buddha, Allah, etc. are what make us great. It's that we are more easily inspired to an idea. That idea was Commander Shepard. He was always at the front of the conflict with the Reapers, and because of that everyone got behind him. He was a doer, and the more he accomplished, the more people believed. He gave them hope. The other races don't exactly have that. They may have a chain of command, but not really anyone to aspire to, someone that is an embodiment of hope and resistance. Even today we have some people like that and it can lead us to do great deeds or terrible ones.
TheBelieveit1 Even at that, Javik is still thoughtful & profound at points where his bitterness is suppressed. It’s a subversion of subverted expectations. Javik is what Liara thought, just hidden beneath layers.
Bingo. And I liked it because it was real. The real thing is always what matters. People also forget that this is a soldier who has lost everyone and everything. He's lost his family, his home, everything else, and he was fighting a losing war, in which he had to constantly kill and sacrifice his own people, his fellow soldiers, as well as many other innocent and not so innocent people. It was a nightmare that he knows he will live have to live again. That was his life, his culture. How he was raised. Could you imagine a human that wouldn't be crazy or at least a little rough around the edges if they were raised in similar conditions? Even if he hypothetically wasn't raised in a war, his culture sounded pretty intense. Is it his fault that he or all of them were all raised and conditioned in the same way? There is no guarantee that all Protheans or even all soldiers were this way, anyway. This is one individual.
Ravens are a better candidate. They are pretty intelligent and social. More so than dogs. And I think they will be what's left in the cities if humanity dies.
Imagine if all human gods were just protheans in Mass Effect lore!? It would be strange, yet funny if javik just trolls with commander Shepard about it lol.
+rachupranger "There is a myth that the titan prometheus was pecked by birds for giving humanity the gift of fire." "He was shot and left for the vultures. You were supposed to figure fire out for yourselves. He nearly ruined your development!"
+SexualYeti It's funny, if you actually look at ancient cave paintings from Jericho and Mesopotamea you'll see effigies of flat-headed and tall figured gods, some of them even have multiple eyes. I'm not saying anything in ME should be taken seriously, but it wouldn't surprise me if Bioware looked at ancient religious imagry for inspiration on the protheans just to mess with us.
@@Hagashager actually i heard those ancient gods are thought as gods when ancient humans discovered some sort of ancient ape skeletons that were way bigger than humans
Poor Liara. Of all the trillions of potential Protheans to survive, she has to meet the most cynical, sardonic and sarcastic one out there. But then again, the Asari never seemed to have considered that maybe the Protheans didn't help them out of the kindness of their hearts. The Salarians uplifted the Krogans because they needed a species to fight the Rachni, not because they were feeling particularly benevolent that day.
+Corristo89 I wonder if he is a reflection of how most of his kind were or just an exception that was lucky enough to be its last survivor. It is impossible to judge an entire species based only in one individual.
justdl The description of his society reminds me a lot to the Infinite Empire of Star Wars Expanded Universe (unfortunately, not canon anymore). Just as the Prothean's, it was an ancient and advanced empire which existed long before the Galactic Republic, leaded by an amphibian/reptilian like race (the Rakata), which basically ruled all the galaxy with few opposing powers. They are also described as extremely cruel and warlike by nature, enslaving their conquered species, and even occasionally cannibalizing them (which, as Javik openly states many times, it was also a common practice in his Empire). Just like the Protheans, their Empire collapsed (but in their case, due to the self destructive use of Dark Side of the Force based technologies), eventually ending in the demise of its own species.
He isn't even as much of a hardass as some of the soldiers I met when I was in the military. I'd say he's probably on the kinder side. When I was playing through Mass Effect 3, I kind of drew parallels between Protheans and Soviet soldiers from WWII. Setting aside the political backdrop, both fought in an environment of the threat of total annihilation. The threat that an enemy would destroy their very being. War on the eastern front was particularly ruthless and brutal. Both sides absolutely despised one another. Atrocities were committed by the Germans that would be repeated when the Soviets entered Germany, purely for revenge. So much so did these atrocities numb these soldiers that some didn't even find the holocaust survivors in places like Buchenwald or Auschwitz to be the worst they'd seen, whereas to Western soldiers that was outright disgusting. I imagine the Protheans would be very numb to atrocity. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a Prothean who would take the time to care for your feelings. Javik is probably a nice guy by their standards.
SaturnVII I also share similar impressions, the comparison with how most Soviet soldiers were is very good. Despite his coldness and harshness, he is not as bad as he could be, given his context and circumstances. In fact, if you play on a Paragon route, it is hinted he slowly embraces the ideals of the new cycle and even cares for some of the group members.
Sextus70 You can't cannibalise something that's not your species... Javik said Protheans used to eat the now-sentient species when they weren't sentient.
"He could be the foremost scientist of his time, or perhaps the wisest councilor," try, "the biggest, baddest, trolling-est bad-ass from his cycle." Speaking of, apparently sentients have been appreciating the Quarian geometry for over 50,000 years.
we got exemples in real life you know, many archaeologists and historians work for 50 60 or more years studing , greeks and egipcias even dinosaurs , i'm pretty sure if one greek back to like today he would be like javik and everything we think we know bout them is almost nothing ...
it's just like how we expect a game to be great, it falls below our "standard" and we become disappointed while to someone else, it might be the best video games they've ever played!
+Uyen Tang Mass Effect 3 was that way with me. People I know were saying it was bad and I shouldn't play it, but when I played it it became one of the best games I've ever played.
Liara: If this single Prothean was sent into stasis, then he could be the foremost scientist of his age! Or perhaps their wisest counselor! Javik: *Turns out to be a relentless interstellar troll*
I find his Character too, perhaps, none of us can imagine what could be like to be the last of your Species in the entiere Universe, and to be sourrunded of Species that in your Time, they were all primitive, and then you wake up 50.000 Years later and you see them flying Ships, traveling faster than the Light and doing so much other things.
Steven Adams Seriously, let's think about it. Liara sees Javik and gets an Orgasm. Why didn't javik told Liara to fuck, i mean, Asari are the most beautiful Species in the entire Galaxy. And if i remember correctly, Javik talked once about his species reproducing with the Asari or something like that. I mean, if i were Javik i would approch to Liara and tell her. "Hey Blue Baby, wanna see my 50.000 Year old Friend that i have down here ;)?" Heheh
Javik is a jerk, but even with the war and the Reapers, it just seems rude to pester him and ask him all those questions when you know he's confused and in shock about his entire species suffering a fate worse than death.
Shepard: What about this one? Liara: Another page from the codex. I doubt this is it. It describes Lucen, Atheme's guide who taught our ancestors about the stars. Javik: Are you wilfully blind? That was no page of imagined rectangular dimensions, it was a Prothean woman.
25:55 That is probably the dumbest thing Liara could have said. Javik even activates the beacon right in front of everyone and she's like "It MuSt Be YoU, ShEpArD!".
24:15 - That sound whenever Shepard reaches out towards the statue of Athame and senses the presence of the Prothean beacon still gives me chills every time I hear it. Awesome scene...you wonder if this concept of “advanced aliens posing as or interpreted as deities” has any reality in the faiths of Earth...
Don’t let him touch the Echo Shard, take him to the Citadel and either use the paragon interrupt in his argument with Liara after Thessia for the book outcome or don’t use it for the king outcome.
I like how the did his character of course hes going to be that way when is people had to make everything about war in order to survive. Im sure they were different before the reapers. I could see them being a space version of Rome
I feel like the Council races should've made a bigger deal out of the asari hiding a cultral lighthouse for thousands of years, even knowing it contained information on the Reapers.
Would’ve been funny if that Javik’s personality was dependent upon Shepard’s alignment. Paragon Shepard gets Renegade Javik and Renegade Shepard gets you Paragon Javik.
He's the only one in this current cycle to have full knowledge and experience of the Reaper's methods. I can't possibly imagine some of the atrocities he may have witnessed during the invasion in his cycle.
Shepard: What's this? Liara: That's a bust of one of our goddesses. She taught us to... Javik: That's my brotha. Liara: ... Geomethrics and... Javik: Can't wait to die and tell him the Asari saw him as a female. Liara: ... Shepard: ... Javik: His name was Steve.
Nick Peng Mindless consumer 101: "Oh boy! i hope they re-make this game so i can play the same mindless shit instead of them having to put in some actual effort or creativity for my money"
Nick Peng No, actually.. I was trying to make a genuine point. *Why do you assume I'm a troll, because my opinion differs?* No offence intended but if people like you screaming "DO REMASTERS" got their way, the market would go stale and nothing new would come out.. It doesn't require creativity, effort or otherwise to do a re-master. On the otherhand, creating an entirely new IP, starting off an entirely new story, having to create new and interesting characters.. That does. I see no point in re-making something thats not even 5 years old and at present, alot of remasters come out at full retail. *You may aswell ask a developer to make something new, with what they learned from that previous game* instead of asking them to go back and repeat it.
Well, your first comment started off quite offensive, however I can see your point, now that you have explained yourself. I think that the Mass Effect Trilogy is one of the best games ever made, which is why I really want to play it again, but with upgraded graphics and all. But I don't think that Bioware has only one team that is working on one project at a time, which is why I believe that currently a team must be working on a new IP. Also bringing out a completely new IP that is as engaging as their other games but different enough, compared to the other games on the market, is really difficult. And difficult things take a long time to get right, while time is eating up their budget. Also, if Bioware decides to launch a new IP, it must be accepted and bought by the gamers, otherwise it was all for nothing. So they might try to hype it up. Ubisoft is making it rain new IPs, while most of their games are not that well received, because they overpromised and underdelivered. From the recent Assassin's Creeds, Watchdogs,The Division, Rainbow Six Siege to the gameplayfootage from the new Ghost Recon and For Honor, all looked appealing in the beginning, but either the gameplay was dull, or the game itself was bugged out. So basically what I am trying to say is, that a remaster is the safer choice for income, when you know, that there is already a fanbase out there. Just this week, Bethesda launched the special edition of Skyrim, which is exactly 5 years old. 343 Industries did remasters for the original Halo trilogies after 10 years. Obviously many fans like the remasters. Old gamers would still play the old game on their old console/ pc, while new gamers are probably repulsed by the old graphics. A remaster however might attract a new audience.
Nick Peng "Mindless consumerism" is a sociology term; even I'm a victim of it.. I saw skyrim special edition and instantly bought it at full price, even though Ive played skyrim to death.. *Ive spent like 5 hours on the special edition.* Ubisoft isn't really pushing new IP's that often; the division was a "tom clancy" game, assasins creeds been sequeled to hell, watchdogs 2 isnt a new concept.. They stick to what they know sells and if they don't, they hype it to oblivion and it'll never remotely live up to expectations.. Like the first watchdogs. Yes, from a business perspective re-masters are great.. Full price for barely any work and fans of the series will most likely buy it. *But do us consumers really want whats best for a business?* I can see where you're coming from.. But I dont feel remasters often try dragging in a new audience. They often play on the nostalgia of fans for dat sweet $$$ Best example of a remaster.. Dishonored definitive edition. On the xbox store (where things are more expensive than physical retail oddly), it sells for £15. Whereas the halo remaster is still like £40, even though its older. I hate to burst your bubble too but i doubt we'll see a remake of ME for a long time, considering all 3 have just been put up for backwards compatibility on xbox. They dont do that for games they're remastering anytime soon. *Personally ive been playing ME3 since they made it available and the graphics have aged really well for when it released.* Then again.. Maybe im just cynical. I cant play cod or halo multiplayer for very long because to me, its like a mouse in the same maze slowly getting longer, trying to get the same cheese over and over. You play the same maps, in the same modes, to level up, to get better gear.. To play those exact same maps over and over and overrr.. Bit dull to me.
I Am A Egg Fucker The journey begins *3 years before mass effect 3* But it takes them *600 years to reach the new solar system* So, Javiik wouldn't be awake when they set off.. and I'm sure protheans only live to about 100 *its implied thats why they evolved their memory-transferring* But i mean.. you're 600 years away from javiik, in a place that has entirely different sentient life.. so its irrelevant.
I Am A Egg Fucker You'll not get him tho. In all fairness, there probably will be some unique alien squad member.. Just y'know.. Not a humanoid bug with *"I'm about to trip balls on acid"* eyes
@@AndE667 Its the overall tone of the game where they try to make Salarians as evil as possible so that you are emotionally pushed to cure the genophage. They uplift Varren and Yahg for no good reason (they fd up with Krogan and regret the uplift but they randomly do it again - plotting for plotting sake). Also, Salarians dont help the war effort as much and arent fighters => in Javik's eyes they are lesser
I think its mostly because he didnt see any Salarians - you have Liara, Garrus, Shepard. There wasnt Mordin or Kirrhae (or wasnt supposed to be there). (Actually never recruited Javik while the Genophage was stillbeing prepared. Gotta try it.)
There were actually hundreds, if not thousands or tens of thousands, of powerful intergalactic races preceding the Protheans. The Reaper cycle has gone on for a very, very long time. The Leviathans were first, and before the Protheans were the "Inusannon". Sometime before them were the Arthenn, and thousands of others. The Reaper's cycle has likely been going on for a billion+ years (given the age of the Leviathan of Dis) - so that's a loooot of races.
From Javik pov, it is similar to waking up to talking animals, that live in a pre world war 3 civilization, after traveling in time to stop world war 3. Imagine having to explain history and the future to cats, dogs, bears, and dolphins who recently devolved space travel, amidst an ancient advanced tech bulldozer in a shrinking jungle of the harvested galaxy.
as a soldier in the field it is easy to imagine him eating any of the unevolved animals with a beer and side of fries. Mess halls and bars of warriors and hunters
taking Javik on Thessia is soooo crucial to understanding the concept of Mass Effect's character evoultions. great job providing this choice Bioware, and thank you for the video
The scene at the asari temple.. Where she resists accepting the protheans guided her people.. When you take tali she mentions similar things as javik just not as detailed and she just accepts that they were protheans.
I feel bad for Javik think about this:you slept 50000 years when you wake there's three ants study you then one of the ant tell you that you are the only one left...
"Amusing. The Asari have finally mastered writing." I really liked Javik character for this. How he would talk about the three "superior council races" while they were still primitive and showel that into their faces, as I had already enough of their "superiority complex".
So throwaway dialogue mentions that Asari were considered attractive in Javik's cycle and the temple is full of artifacts showing how protheans were speeding up the asari's cultural/intellectual evolution. Humans, turians, salarians etc were being observed but Asari even got their very own genetic manipulation and ambassadors/teachers. Were...were protheans grooming their own cycles version of catgirls?!
I wonder if they could have made a story line of after the war Javik using the Prothean remains found in the bunker and and elsewhere to create a mass cloning project and revived a new generation of the species.
Dude Javik drops some serious shit on CS. "Stand in the ashes of a trillion dead souls and ask the ghosts if honor matters. The silence is your answer." Fucking heavy
He may be a Trollthean but damn that's fucking dark.
It makes you feel sorry for Javik, and that honestly has to be the darkest shit I have ever heard in the Mass Effect Trilogy.
I understand that he won't be able to make more of his people but still. You have so much to live for Javik. D:
the most powerful scene in this clip. the asari temple was second funniest and the funniest is tali (I love tali hahahahaha)

When I heard that in the video I laughed so hard!!! I was thinking of a lizard with Mordin face on it eating some flies. 😂😂
Kloud 60FPS I can imagine Mordin replying "Still do, very nutritious, plentiful."
When Liara said "By the goddess, literally" I expected Javik to say "Prothean"
He basically said everything but if you bring him to Thessia.
javik is basically renegade shepard in prothean cycle
actually i read somewhere that he used to have a similar role with sherpard in his cycle.Heck, he even was a captain of a ship.
More like the player watching how the Mass Effect franchise crashes and burns.

It's interesting that Javik ruined Liara's views on Protheans. A sort of "Never meet your heroes" kind of thing.

But they're not warriors, at best they'd be useful assassins. They prefer their wars won before they start so if a war does begin and is in full swing they're left in some disarray.

Javik's not the kind of Prothean Liara was studying anyway. She was studying the pre-Reaper war "built" the Citadel and the Mass Relays kind.
Bingo. And I liked it because it was real. The real thing is always what matters. People also forget that this is a soldier who has lost everyone and everything. He's lost his family, his home, everything else, and he was fighting a losing war, in which he had to constantly kill and sacrifice his own people, his fellow soldiers, as well as many other innocent and not so innocent people. It was a nightmare that he knows he will live have to live again. That was his life, his culture. How he was raised. Could you imagine a human that wouldn't be crazy or at least a little rough around the edges if they were raised in similar conditions? Even if he hypothetically wasn't raised in a war, his culture sounded pretty intense. Is it his fault that he or all of them were all raised and conditioned in the same way? There is no guarantee that all Protheans or even all soldiers were this way, anyway. This is one individual.
Javic talking to us would be like us seeing that dogs were the new evolved master race. Lol
Ravens are a better candidate. They are pretty intelligent and social. More so than dogs. And I think they will be what's left in the cities if humanity dies.
@@CS_Mango i see more candidates on apes dolphins and even ants
That awkward moment when your religious figures were actually Protheans.
Imagine if all human gods were just protheans in Mass Effect lore!? It would be strange, yet funny if javik just trolls with commander Shepard about it lol.
+rachupranger "There is a myth that the titan prometheus was pecked by birds for giving humanity the gift of fire."
"He was shot and left for the vultures. You were supposed to figure fire out for yourselves. He nearly ruined your development!"
+SexualYeti It's funny, if you actually look at ancient cave paintings from Jericho and Mesopotamea you'll see effigies of flat-headed and tall figured gods, some of them even have multiple eyes.
I'm not saying anything in ME should be taken seriously, but it wouldn't surprise me if Bioware looked at ancient religious imagry for inspiration on the protheans just to mess with us.
@@rachupranger9306 well God is pretty much that little boy AI
@@Hagashager actually i heard those ancient gods are thought as gods when ancient humans discovered some sort of ancient ape skeletons that were way bigger than humans
Poor Liara. Of all the trillions of potential Protheans to survive, she has to meet the most cynical, sardonic and sarcastic one out there. But then again, the Asari never seemed to have considered that maybe the Protheans didn't help them out of the kindness of their hearts. The Salarians uplifted the Krogans because they needed a species to fight the Rachni, not because they were feeling particularly benevolent that day.
+Corristo89 I wonder if he is a reflection of how most of his kind were or just an exception that was lucky enough to be its last survivor.
It is impossible to judge an entire species based only in one individual.
justdl
The description of his society reminds me a lot to the Infinite Empire of Star Wars Expanded Universe (unfortunately, not canon anymore).
Just as the Prothean's, it was an ancient and advanced empire which existed long before the Galactic Republic, leaded by an amphibian/reptilian like race (the Rakata), which basically ruled all the galaxy with few opposing powers. They are also described as extremely cruel and warlike by nature, enslaving their conquered species, and even occasionally cannibalizing them (which, as Javik openly states many times, it was also a common practice in his Empire).
Just like the Protheans, their Empire collapsed (but in their case, due to the self destructive use of Dark Side of the Force based technologies), eventually ending in the demise of its own species.
He isn't even as much of a hardass as some of the soldiers I met when I was in the military. I'd say he's probably on the kinder side.
When I was playing through Mass Effect 3, I kind of drew parallels between Protheans and Soviet soldiers from WWII. Setting aside the political backdrop, both fought in an environment of the threat of total annihilation. The threat that an enemy would destroy their very being. War on the eastern front was particularly ruthless and brutal. Both sides absolutely despised one another. Atrocities were committed by the Germans that would be repeated when the Soviets entered Germany, purely for revenge.
So much so did these atrocities numb these soldiers that some didn't even find the holocaust survivors in places like Buchenwald or Auschwitz to be the worst they'd seen, whereas to Western soldiers that was outright disgusting.
I imagine the Protheans would be very numb to atrocity. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a Prothean who would take the time to care for your feelings.
Javik is probably a nice guy by their standards.
SaturnVII
I also share similar impressions, the comparison with how most Soviet soldiers were is very good.
Despite his coldness and harshness, he is not as bad as he could be, given his context and circumstances. In fact, if you play on a Paragon route, it is hinted he slowly embraces the ideals of the new cycle and even cares for some of the group members.
Sextus70 You can't cannibalise something that's not your species... Javik said Protheans used to eat the now-sentient species when they weren't sentient.
The beacon seems to think youre Prothean, Shepard. It must be the cipher you got back on Feros..
OR it could be the Prothean standing next to you.
it's shepard, because it gets activated with or without javik
Uyen Tang Did you see the video? Thats what Javik says.
heh
@@uyentang4571 why not both?
*silence*
they used to eat flies.
"Journeys with the Prothean" would sell a lot more copies than "I Despise Thinking Up Titles For My Own Academic Research" XD
Naw, I like that title the best.
Javik: I would need a job...
Wow... now that's progress from a TROLLthean to a PROthean.
+zinki120 true that he's a real Troll character in this game.. and a funny one lol
+zinki120 ill use trollthean to prothean in my vids XD
+HawkFest He doesn't have more than an hour awake and he already begins trolling:
"I'm surrounded by primitives!" LOL
"He could be the foremost scientist of his time, or perhaps the wisest councilor," try, "the biggest, baddest, trolling-est bad-ass from his cycle." Speaking of, apparently sentients have been appreciating the Quarian geometry for over 50,000 years.
Poor Liara, everything she has known and believed shattered by Javik the uptight Protheon.
He's not uptight, He just doesn't take no shit.
we got exemples in real life you know, many archaeologists and historians work for 50 60 or more years studing , greeks and egipcias even dinosaurs , i'm pretty sure if one greek back to like today he would be like javik and everything we think we know bout them is almost nothing ...
yup
it's just like how we expect a game to be great, it falls below our "standard" and we become disappointed while to someone else, it might be the best video games they've ever played!
+Uyen Tang Mass Effect 3 was that way with me. People I know were saying it was bad and I shouldn't play it, but when I played it it became one of the best games I've ever played.
ಠಠ_ಠಠ
"They used to eat flies" ಠಠ_ಠಠ
ಠಠ_ಠಠ *Primitives*
Still the best Javik comment ever.
Javik: Mercy is not a weapon, it is a weakness.
Javik: I am grateful, it was an act of mercy.
It was both in different context
Batman: I work alone.
Batman: Thanks Clark. Thanks Dick. Thanks Barbara. Thanks Jim. Etc.....
Liara: If this single Prothean was sent into stasis, then he could be the foremost scientist of his age! Or perhaps their wisest counselor!
Javik: *Turns out to be a relentless interstellar troll*
That one where Tali is talking to Javik saying "You like her, and you like me too" is the funniest conversation I've heard in mass effect to date
Liara, telling them of her culture and people:
Javik: Haha thats me
Javik taking a massive dump on everything the Asari believe was amazing.
Javik is awesome!
Javik by far is the most interesting character in the whole series i've encountered. I was cracking up so hard from javick's comments, too funny.
I find his Character too, perhaps, none of us can imagine what could be like to be the last of your Species in the entiere Universe, and to be sourrunded of Species that in your Time, they were all primitive, and then you wake up 50.000 Years later and you see them flying Ships, traveling faster than the Light and doing so much other things.
Steven Adams Seriously, let's think about it.
Liara sees Javik and gets an Orgasm.
Why didn't javik told Liara to fuck, i mean, Asari are the most beautiful Species in the entire Galaxy.
And if i remember correctly, Javik talked once about his species reproducing with the Asari or something like that.
I mean, if i were Javik i would approch to Liara and tell her.
"Hey Blue Baby, wanna see my 50.000 Year old Friend that i have down here ;)?"
Heheh
Perhaps he shouldn't have been day one dlc.
"you are all primitives"
-javik
I AM SURROUNDED BY PRIMITIVES!!
"Amusing. Asari have finally mastered writing."
That had to sting.
Got to love Tali when she's drunk ;)
Lone star Tequila-Sali
Javik is a jerk, but even with the war and the Reapers, it just seems rude to pester him and ask him all those questions when you know he's confused and in shock about his entire species suffering a fate worse than death.
Probably some form of alien PTSD
Give him a break, bro. He was born and grew up in a war. War doesn't do it justice. A slaughter. A genocide.
Thank you.
Most people don't seem to understand that.
Shepard: What about this one?
Liara: Another page from the codex. I doubt this is it. It describes Lucen, Atheme's guide who taught our ancestors about the stars.
Javik: Are you wilfully blind? That was no page of imagined rectangular dimensions, it was a Prothean woman.
Asari had the most potential and they could only count to 10? No wonder javik thinks so little the "primitives."
In my play through Javik says after the war he will look for the graves of his people and put their ghosts to rest, then kill himself.
That's only if you let him touch the memory shard.
In another ending if you don't let him touch the shard he will go to the hanar homeworld and live as a god-king.
Weaponized Autism Damn that's disappointing. I shouldn't've let him touch it.
...Did that fucker just insult Tali?
For a species capable of living a thousand years per generation, Asari sure developed quickly.
25:55 That is probably the dumbest thing Liara could have said. Javik even activates the beacon right in front of everyone and she's like "It MuSt Be YoU, ShEpArD!".
And liara knew the true meaning of "never meet your heroes"
Asari, is it not customary to pray to your gods before you eat? I am waiting.
24:15 - That sound whenever Shepard reaches out towards the statue of Athame and senses the presence of the Prothean beacon still gives me chills every time I hear it. Awesome scene...you wonder if this concept of “advanced aliens posing as or interpreted as deities” has any reality in the faiths of Earth...
Don’t let him touch the Echo Shard, take him to the Citadel and either use the paragon interrupt in his argument with Liara after Thessia for the book outcome or don’t use it for the king outcome.
"Your God's were feeling kind that day", dead lmao.
I like how the did his character of course hes going to be that way when is people had to make everything about war in order to survive. Im sure they were different before the reapers. I could see them being a space version of Rome
"No, it contains only pain" and the cool burst of Five gum. Why does Liara have eyebrows?
When I first watched that scene, I was all primed to timestamp and comment "When you chew 5 gum" on the flashback, but then I saw the flashback....
Javik: Proving beyond the shadow of a doubt that Protheans were badass!
I feel like the Council races should've made a bigger deal out of the asari hiding a cultral lighthouse for thousands of years, even knowing it contained information on the Reapers.
The lizard people evolved? They used to eat flies :D
"I believe they're amphibian."
*slightly awkward silence*
"...They used to eat flies..."
How does one actually respond to that?
I mean I assure you, we probably did too. Protein is protein.
Sorry just realized your comment is 3 years old.
@@Amoogus 😂
Would’ve been funny if that Javik’s personality was dependent upon Shepard’s alignment. Paragon Shepard gets Renegade Javik and Renegade Shepard gets you Paragon Javik.
I never understood why people think Javik is a dick.
Seems like one of the only rational characters in the game actually.
He's the only one in this current cycle to have full knowledge and experience of the Reaper's methods. I can't possibly imagine some of the atrocities he may have witnessed during the invasion in his cycle.
Javik and Liara at the artifact section is like an atheist and a religious person. They even nailed down the atheist being a bit of an ass.
In my experience, both can be patronizing and assy. At the end of the day the atheist wins the debate though.
Yeah I know, I just wanted to make a joke on the similarity.
Alex FDSR If thats the case, they didn't capture the religious person being condescending or trying to force their beliefs down the athiests throat.
It's impossible to make a damn joke on the Internet anymore. *Faceplants *
-Stand in the ashes of a trillion dead souls and ask them if honor matters: the silence is your answer.
what a quote
This was amusing to me especially after watching Liara taunt the Shadow Broker, calling him a pet.
i love the scene where it becomes clear that asari were only so advanced because they were jumpstarted by the protheans. smug bastards.
Shepard: What's this?
Liara: That's a bust of one of our goddesses. She taught us to...
Javik: That's my brotha.
Liara: ... Geomethrics and...
Javik: Can't wait to die and tell him the Asari saw him as a female.
Liara: ...
Shepard: ...
Javik: His name was Steve.
Damn. I enjoyed this a ton.
I hope Bioware does a HD remaster of Mass Effect in 2017, like 343 Industries did for Halo.
Nick Peng Mindless consumer 101: "Oh boy! i hope they re-make this game so i can play the same mindless shit instead of them having to put in some actual effort or creativity for my money"
Dr. Ghoztz Ahh. Nice to meet you. You must be a troll. How was your day?
Nick Peng No, actually.. I was trying to make a genuine point.
*Why do you assume I'm a troll, because my opinion differs?*
No offence intended but if people like you screaming "DO REMASTERS" got their way, the market would go stale and nothing new would come out..
It doesn't require creativity, effort or otherwise to do a re-master. On the otherhand, creating an entirely new IP, starting off an entirely new story, having to create new and interesting characters.. That does.
I see no point in re-making something thats not even 5 years old and at present, alot of remasters come out at full retail.
*You may aswell ask a developer to make something new, with what they learned from that previous game* instead of asking them to go back and repeat it.
Well, your first comment started off quite offensive, however I can see your point, now that you have explained yourself.
I think that the Mass Effect Trilogy is one of the best games ever made, which is why I really want to play it again, but with upgraded graphics and all. But I don't think that Bioware has only one team that is working on one project at a time, which is why I believe that currently a team must be working on a new IP.
Also bringing out a completely new IP that is as engaging as their other games but different enough, compared to the other games on the market, is really difficult. And difficult things take a long time to get right, while time is eating up their budget. Also, if Bioware decides to launch a new IP, it must be accepted and bought by the gamers, otherwise it was all for nothing. So they might try to hype it up.
Ubisoft is making it rain new IPs, while most of their games are not that well received, because they overpromised and underdelivered. From the recent Assassin's Creeds, Watchdogs,The Division, Rainbow Six Siege to the gameplayfootage from the new Ghost Recon and For Honor, all looked appealing in the beginning, but either the gameplay was dull, or the game itself was bugged out.
So basically what I am trying to say is, that a remaster is the safer choice for income, when you know, that there is already a fanbase out there. Just this week, Bethesda launched the special edition of Skyrim, which is exactly 5 years old. 343 Industries did remasters for the original Halo trilogies after 10 years. Obviously many fans like the remasters. Old gamers would still play the old game on their old console/ pc, while new gamers are probably repulsed by the old graphics. A remaster however might attract a new audience.
Nick Peng "Mindless consumerism" is a sociology term; even I'm a victim of it.. I saw skyrim special edition and instantly bought it at full price, even though Ive played skyrim to death.. *Ive spent like 5 hours on the special edition.*
Ubisoft isn't really pushing new IP's that often; the division was a "tom clancy" game, assasins creeds been sequeled to hell, watchdogs 2 isnt a new concept.. They stick to what they know sells and if they don't, they hype it to oblivion and it'll never remotely live up to expectations.. Like the first watchdogs.
Yes, from a business perspective re-masters are great.. Full price for barely any work and fans of the series will most likely buy it.
*But do us consumers really want whats best for a business?*
I can see where you're coming from.. But I dont feel remasters often try dragging in a new audience. They often play on the nostalgia of fans for dat sweet $$$
Best example of a remaster.. Dishonored definitive edition. On the xbox store (where things are more expensive than physical retail oddly), it sells for £15. Whereas the halo remaster is still like £40, even though its older.
I hate to burst your bubble too but i doubt we'll see a remake of ME for a long time, considering all 3 have just been put up for backwards compatibility on xbox.
They dont do that for games they're remastering anytime soon.
*Personally ive been playing ME3 since they made it available and the graphics have aged really well for when it released.*
Then again.. Maybe im just cynical. I cant play cod or halo multiplayer for very long because to me, its like a mouse in the same maze slowly getting longer, trying to get the same cheese over and over.
You play the same maps, in the same modes, to level up, to get better gear.. To play those exact same maps over and over and overrr.. Bit dull to me.
Javik, the master galatic troll trolled by Tali. 29:00
When I was younger and had ME3 I never knew I needed a dlc to get this content even the ending
Jeez, need to keep Tali away from drinking, she's a real lightweight
“Or it could be the Prothean standing next to you.”
Fav line ever XD
Mass Effect: Andromeda will be 300 years later... Javik should still be alive, right?
Right?
Pls, Bioware bring him back
Damn, Ima miss this asshole
600 but yes both he and Liara could still be alive, in a different galaxy though
I Am A Egg Fucker The journey begins *3 years before mass effect 3* But it takes them *600 years to reach the new solar system*
So, Javiik wouldn't be awake when they set off.. and I'm sure protheans only live to about 100 *its implied thats why they evolved their memory-transferring*
But i mean.. you're 600 years away from javiik, in a place that has entirely different sentient life.. so its irrelevant.
Dr. Ghoztz Idgaf I still want him
I Am A Egg Fucker You'll not get him tho.
In all fairness, there probably will be some unique alien squad member.. Just y'know.. Not a humanoid bug with *"I'm about to trip balls on acid"* eyes
I Am A Egg Fucker An*
I'm sorry.
I had to.
The voices made me.
I like how Javik basically say that Humans, Asari, and Turians should be the one to rule the galaxy (aka Citadel races) while Salarians wasn't.
Well... They used to eat flies...
@@AndE667 Its the overall tone of the game where they try to make Salarians as evil as possible so that you are emotionally pushed to cure the genophage. They uplift Varren and Yahg for no good reason (they fd up with Krogan and regret the uplift but they randomly do it again - plotting for plotting sake). Also, Salarians dont help the war effort as much and arent fighters => in Javik's eyes they are lesser
I think its mostly because he didnt see any Salarians - you have Liara, Garrus, Shepard. There wasnt Mordin or Kirrhae (or wasnt supposed to be there). (Actually never recruited Javik while the Genophage was stillbeing prepared. Gotta try it.)
"I will help the Asa... Dr T'soni write her book, 'I Despise Thinking Up Titles For My Own Academic Research'."
It would have been so awesome if you could romance Javik.
In a way you can. If you don't romance anyone as femshep then she'll end up banging Javik in the citadel dlc
Funny how the Protheans learned that age of lesson. There is ALWAYS a bigger a bully
And after the war
Javik went on to live like a king among the Hanar
I just noticed that Javik has a South African accent.
+Nicolas Jaramillo No he as an Austrian accent! Like Arnold Schwarzenegger!
Just googled his voice actor: Ike Amadi. Is what I got, figured as much though.

Ok. Anyways, many accents sound alike.
I always assumed he was supposed to sound Nigerian

Jesus Javik, you're destroying her entire religion.
9:16 Amazing asari has finally mastered writing. 18:46
Man, poor Javik. It's like if a human woke up to be surrounded by squirrel-people, or cow-people.
not gonna lie...was kinda hoping liara and javik would become more than book writing buddies lol
Aaand there's probably a fanfiction of that somewhere on the internet. Hell, I'd read it.
You can always tell when Tali has been drinking
She's a happy drunk
There were actually hundreds, if not thousands or tens of thousands, of powerful intergalactic races preceding the Protheans. The Reaper cycle has gone on for a very, very long time. The Leviathans were first, and before the Protheans were the "Inusannon". Sometime before them were the Arthenn, and thousands of others. The Reaper's cycle has likely been going on for a billion+ years (given the age of the Leviathan of Dis) - so that's a loooot of races.
"They used to eat flies."
"OK. I'm just gonna slowly walk away"
From Javik pov, it is similar to waking up to talking animals, that live in a pre world war 3 civilization, after traveling in time to stop world war 3. Imagine having to explain history and the future to cats, dogs, bears, and dolphins who recently devolved space travel, amidst an ancient advanced tech bulldozer in a shrinking jungle of the harvested galaxy.
as a soldier in the field it is easy to imagine him eating any of the unevolved animals with a beer and side of fries. Mess halls and bars of warriors and hunters
+Kintsugi Ezo watching Javik talk is like watching a man feed geese on his lunch break.

Well that brings on a whole new meaning of "By the Goddess."
“Stand in the ashes of a trillion dead souls and ask the ghosts of honor matters”
That is one doozy of a line.
OMG!!!!! i fell off my chair n laughed ALL OF IT!!!! THIS is best OF BEST scenes in comedic way ALL of prothean scenes throughout the game!!!!
taking Javik on Thessia is soooo crucial to understanding the concept of Mass Effect's character evoultions. great job providing this choice Bioware, and thank you for the video
The scene at the asari temple.. Where she resists accepting the protheans guided her people.. When you take tali she mentions similar things as javik just not as detailed and she just accepts that they were protheans.
Go to Javik before going to speak to Tali :)
Protheans were all African? Noted
they was prothekangs
WE WUZ PROTHEANS AND SHIIIEEET
Björn Söder He said Africans not african-americans
What if when they asked Javik for Reaper fighting adviced he clicked his tongue and asked "do you know de wey?"
Some of them sounded British too
I feel bad for Javik
think about this:you slept 50000 years when you wake there's three ants study you
then one of the ant tell you that you are the only one left...
"Amusing. The Asari have finally mastered writing."
I really liked Javik character for this. How he would talk about the three "superior council races" while they were still primitive and showel that into their faces, as I had already enough of their "superiority complex".
i love how javik says NO! dramatically
So throwaway dialogue mentions that Asari were considered attractive in Javik's cycle and the temple is full of artifacts showing how protheans were speeding up the asari's cultural/intellectual evolution.
Humans, turians, salarians etc were being observed but Asari even got their very own genetic manipulation and ambassadors/teachers.
Were...were protheans grooming their own cycles version of catgirls?!
I keep hearing Lightning instead of Liara.
"You believe you are winning."
Woah woah hold up! How does that dialouge pop up?
I love this character
the OG Trollthean, what a guy
Yes, I wanted to take him back on Eden Prime, thought it was fitting. :)
°o_o° : just.. wow
Thank you, I don't have that DLC... I was so curious about it !
That Dragon Age armor though!
After what happened when you woke up Grunt you think Shepard would realize to back away from aliens coming out a coma type deal.
it's nice... seeing that terrifying orang-like photo-bomb of message again.
You can go find him right after Mars, but you won’t be able to use him till you finish Palaven’s moon mission.
I love how he said "they used to eat flies".
"I'm a soldier, not a scholar"
*Scholars the gang on prothean history*
The Asari like to think they're so intelligent but at least we figured out agriculture and advanced mathematics on our own.
Javik has GOT to respect that Shepard has killed multiple Reapers. Not to mention countless powerful Reaper shock-troops and indoctrinated soldiers.
2:20 "REEE!"
I wonder if they could have made a story line of after the war Javik using the Prothean remains found in the bunker and and elsewhere to create a mass cloning project and revived a new generation of the species.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh God. The burn he gave to Tali. Listen here, you lizard, you don't talk like that to my Tali.
