i never thought of it like that, i always preffered the standard dialogue, without the singing, it gives his sacrifice just a touch more awesome to not break down crying.
"Mordin... every time we talked you defended the genophage!" "I MADE A MISTAKE! Focussed on big picture, big picture made of little pictures, too many variables." "Mordin.... No!" "Shepard... have to do this.... my work, my cure, my responsibility!"
‘I made a mistake!’ What gets me is how Mordin uses ‘I’ for once in his dialogue. Normally he truncates his speech. That little addition shows he’s been struggling with his choices.
I said it in another comment but even if it was cheesy it would be nice if shepard finished off the song when they transitioned that cutscene Shepard: model of a scientist solarian ...... (looks up and smiles sadly) goodbye mordin
1:44 The first time I played ME3 and this music started I was taken back to the start of my journey and was flooded with memories of how far I'd come. I never thought I would be part of the genophage cure, and nearly came to tears. The ME trilogy is as near perfection as we can get.
I always chose to cure the genophage...I love wrex :D he's awesome and he's a great leader, I respect him because all he wanted was to give the krogan, his people a better future that's something I admire any leader that puts his people first and himself second
but if wrev is in charge u better dan make sure you sabotage it lol. ive had wrex killed the majority of the times because im all about bringing more drama to my story my personal shepard. the fact wrex dies and either kaidan or ash die also makes it even better and i feel my shepard has a whole lot more to go for against saren. then in me3 i make the ultimate decision of killing mordin because wrev its just a ticking time bomb. also miranda i make sure she dies in me3. just more drama. the better. thats how i like it gotta have some characters die along the journey mordin and thane isint enough.l
Swol BrohamLincoln i hate wreav, he's the exact opposite of wrex, i'd gladly screw him over than have another mongrel playing war at the expense of countless lives
Hes the leader that the Krogan needs more than ever too. If anyone else was in his place they'd focus the Krogan in settling old scores. Wrex is smart enough to know that fighting everyone and everything in the Galaxy like they did in the Krogan Rebellions won't end well for them.
Mordin Solus: the very model of a scientist salarian, but not only that. He was the very model of a great man; a man who cared about everyone, even those who considered him an enemy; a man willing to do what he knew to be right, no matter the cost; a man who instead of putting himself above others, used his gifts for one of the most noblest cause there is: to correct a mistake. And in addition to all that, he was the very model of a TRUE friend. Goodbye Mordin, may you find peace at last.
Views aren't everything and you're missing the point. When you ask someone what they like about Mass Effect they'll most likely say the story or the characters, only a few will praise or even mention the sound track. I'm just saying it doesn't get enough credit elsewhere, other than here or the other videos.
+General Maul But there is a thing, the ME soundtracks are just so touching for people who played the games, because makes them remember of those awesome scenes, if you got someone who has never played the games to hear, he\she will just find that cool. Or if you put someone who never watched Pirates of Caribbean or Lords of the Rings to hear some of the musics of the movies, this person will have goosepumps anyways, because the sounds of these movies are goddanming awesone, you dont need to remember any scene to find that epic, wich is the case of Mass Effect.
eh. Mass effect 3 by far had the best ost because they got a really talented guy to do it. Mass Effect 1 and 2 had some decent music. But a lot of it was electronic synthesized stuff.
I still love the fact that with that game, you can doom the entire galaxy by your choices. Cure the Krogans or anhilate them for ever, Make peace between Geth and Quarians or make both die horribly, Even the Turians have their special doom way.
Vigil's theme, one that bears great weight when you remember that Vigil held on long enough to give Shepard the data file that gave access to the Citadel, and like Mordin, Vigil made a costly mistake before that caused the death of many Protheans.
That theme played in ME 2 in all crucial moments like meeting you Alliance Squadmate on horizon or when you met Wrex on Tuchanka It reserved solely for your family

Yesterday I attempted to go renegade and shoot your boy.......I legitimately couldn't press that r2 button. Wtf is this man, why does this trilogy bring the feels to such an extent
I do to, My reason is that Mordin was such an excellent and lovable character, liked him from the start in ME2, this music pretty much exemplifies his sacrafice and courage. Everytime you think about that scene witht his music playing in the background you get that feeling of just how epic that scene was. Unless of course on your run through you shot him in the back, in that case its just tragic...
The CE Extra song "Betrayal," which is the song played during the sabotage versions of this event, is actually on the OST. I don't know why they didn't include the version played in this video when they included that one.
just Beat the Mass affect trilogy, I cant get over how I feel! The Genophage is cured music hits me in feels and gets me thinking of the game and my choices. I'm not an emotional guy but the mass affect has affected me lol.
The krogan were also given worlds within the Terminus systems close the volus and turians. Krogan birthrates an aggressive expansion was what led to them to encroach upon Council territory and led to varied brushfire conflicts and then the Rebellions. What the COuncil races did counted as genocide but the alternative would have been extinction. Mordin is a hero because he gave the Krogan their future back, knowing that the Reaper War, Wrex and Bakara woudl cause the Krogan to adapt positively.
you forget that the purpose of the genophage was to iron out Krogan aggression and keep the population from exploding like it did prior to the Rebellions. The alternative was the entire destruction of the Krogan race in a disastrous war for both sides. Mordin knew that the only alternative was the genophage but now he knows it is no longer needed as the Reaper War is the turning point for the Krogan species. He is a tragic hero who held a great burden.
Just curious where did you get this song? it is not the the "complete" soundtrack that you get when buying the collectors edition which is surprising as most the songs that weren't included were ambiance songs such as club music or the catalyst song.
1:44 the second I heard this part, felt like losing a best friend..made me cry, R.I.P. Mordin 😭 Update: Unfortunately my family lost a dear family member..our cat had to be put to sleep..and hearing this part really devastates shattered my heart and pierced through my soul..all of ours.
Does anyone know if there's an official release of some sort for this? Been looking on the web for some time, all the "mass effect 3 sountracks" I came by do not have this song. Can anyone help me find it? Thanks in advance.
No, it's you who forgot that Mordin didn't made the initial genophage as he is not thousand years old. Krogan were slowing adapting to genophage by natural means, which they obsoltely need to survive on a very dangerous Tuchanka. Genophage changed the circumstances for once, it's shortsightedness to simply assume history does only repeats itself which is what Reapers stand for. What Mordin eventually learned about genophage was that he "made a mistake" in the past, much before Reapers showed up.
I agree with you more or less, but you can't deny that it was pretty epic the way they set up his [Mordin's] death. However, I am not entirely happy with the way Thane died. But it might of been appropriate given all the circumstances, his illness, the prayer reading, the peacefulness, but it just felt unjustified for him to die in a hospital. But then again, he got to die peacefully, with loved ones, which is what he wanted, not to die in battle. All in all, the game was fucking amazing. lmao
wow mass effect trilogy is so epic......no other games can beat it, imo, not halo, not fallout, not even dragon age.... (skyrim would/could have but it didn't have voice acting, and it's a very different sort of game-in terms of story and character) hope i live to see another game this beautiful :D
actually i never insinuated that Mordin created the genophage but I should have specified that his role was simply to adapt the genophage to counteract the Krogan's remarkable adaptability to it. The krogan were too aggressive and through their remarkable reproductive ability too expansionistic; ergo a deadly combination that would lead to their destruction. Mordin helped to counteract that. It's ethically problematic but still the right choice at the time.
To me, Mordin barely had any dignity to die with. He was obviously responsible for genophage modification, which Maleon calls "cultural genocide". The sacrifices made by Tarquin Victus, Eve, Grunt, Kirrahe and Thane (if they did in your playthrough that is) even Legion simply meant more, as they did on their own initiative and without carrying any burden from their past "mistakes". Mordin on the other hand, will have a tragicomical tombstone.
heh, well I guess im the kind of guy who likes to imerse in the games he plays... be an emotionally numb person as you so describe does have its advantages lol
Oh yeah he is an assassin for hire. And he actually tries to justify his position with bullshit like: "My employers killed them. My body was only the tool they used. If you kill a man with a gun, do you hold the gun responsible" BTW, I am best character in the game!
When you realize that Mordin was terrified of dying
And so he sang "A Scientist Salarian" to calm himself down
THE FEELS!!
i never thought of it like that, i always preffered the standard dialogue, without the singing, it gives his sacrifice just a touch more awesome to not break down crying.
You can clearly hear him not trying to choke when humming it.So i agree.
"Lie down try not to cry - cry a lot"
Thank you. I always noted it; you can hear his voice almost crack as he sings. He was incredibly scared. Makes the sacrifice that much more beautiful.

thanks for tacking vigil onto the end of the song. truly epic mission, just finished it.
Actually, it's in the scene with Mordin's sacrifice. It's sad to hear it as the Shroud control tower implodes and collapses as you drive away.
Mordin Solus: the very model of a scientist salarian, but not only that.

And in addition to all that, he was the very model of a TRUE friend. Goodbye Mordin, may you find peace at last.
genophage wan't a mistake imo. The krogans would act just like the reapers if it wasn't implemented
The Krogan looking up as the Shroud disperses the Genophage Cure as vigil played reminds me of how Wrex wanted to cure the Genophage.
Man the OST of the trilogy is so damn underrated.
underrated? most of the tracks have 1-3 million views... the suicide mission one over 3.4million
