I really don't want to over hype myself on Exodus, but I'm reading Exodus Archimedes Engine. If the game is anything like the universe described in that book...oh man, I'm so onboard.
I think you are the first man who chose Kaidan over Liara, and i actually love it! It makes you playthrough quite unique! And yeah, there a quite a few new romances in ME2 than can carry over to ME3. And you can also choose Liara or Kaidan again in ME3, so don't worry about it!
It's awesome to see someone get excited about ME1. It really captured my love for scifi when I originally played it. I'm ready to feel the same when Exodus comes out.
@@IndecisiveMadz I've cut 39 HOURS of gameplay out of this. So if you like this consider having those be your "podcast". Got a fair few people that watch my vods that way.
23:42 it’s funnier if you keep the conversation going when you sacrifice the rachni then you can threaten the Turian Councilor’s live and then hang up on him
@@Michael_BryanRight? Who the hell would do such a thing? Your reaction was exactly how we all felt. Edit: “It’s not racism when it’s not towards humans” Girl that’s exactly what racism is! The denial and Copium is strong with her.
Just finished watching your Veilguard vods. Using this to catch up with your LE playthrough so i can watch your strsam. I love your enthusiasm and the welcoming nature of your channel. ME is my favourite game and its so fun watching you make none of the choices I would 😂
@@Michael_Bryan i get it lol. when i first played it, i found kaidan extremely boring and ashley was much more interesting, even though i disagreed with her obviously. later on, it switched: kaidan was dope as hell, and ash was just a space racist. now i'm of the EnlightenedTM opinion that neither of 'em don't really hit the ground running in 1; both of them get much more interesting later on (moreso ash, but kaidan is dope too ofc!)
Yeah Asari is rather spooky concept-wise.... a single Asari that's yet in the matriarch stage can theoretically revive their own species... all other species seemingly need very diverse levels of people to keep genetics from stagnating... not Asari.
Fun fact: If you choose the right dialogue options you can radicalize Kaiden into being super racist. It's weird as hell and I think it gets retconed out in the later games even if you do it
I've probably played this game through 20 times and I never, ever romanced Kaiden 😆IIrc, I've pretty much never even used Kaiden or Ashley as squadmates once I get the others. I always found both of them boring. Was interesting to see someone bring one of the human bros along for a lot of the ride. I usually go either Wrex and Tali or Wrex and Liara, but it's ALWAYS Wrex, 100% Also, I definitely thought you were going to hang up on the council permanently. Way to subvert my expectations. You're a regular Rian Johnson....I kid...it's a joke... Anyway, welcome to Mass Effect! One last thing: Everyone should check out the album M4 by the band Faunts, who did the ending song here. It's on that album and the whole thing is fantastic. It's like if Radiohead, Pink Floyd and Slowdive had a threesome while The Cure spanked off in the corner. It's fxckin great.
MB I think you missed the gene therapy argument being an analogy to vaccines, Rebekah's source is literally just extranet blogs while Michael claims every soldier in the Alliance gets therapy, probably the same way you have to be vaccinated to attend public schools. The odds they say are also in Mike's favor, 1/300 is a lot better than 1/50 Not knocking your decision I sided with Rebekah on my first play too because Mike seemed like an ass while her point seemed valid at the time. Hindsight has definitely flipped my decision lol
So wild watching someone's first playthrough with a series that changed my life
@@devynn7x oh hey there Devynn

I’m always searching for first play throughs. It almost better than replaying myself
You knew what you were doing putting Garrus and Benezia in the thumbnail. Top notch clickbait MB I salute you
@@p1nnysk3n1s 😂
One of my favorite TH-camrs playing one of my favorite games!? Christmas cane early 🎅🏻

Yeeeessss so excited for Exodus
I literally was just about to start watching your livestreams for this game when I saw that you posted this video! Can’t wait to watch! 😁
@@IndecisiveMadz I've cut 39 HOURS of gameplay out of this. So if you like this consider having those be your "podcast". Got a fair few people that watch my vods that way.
I remember being there when you saw Benezia the first time. I completely understand the reaction!
I absolutely LOVE. these videos. From your DA to your ME ones. More…
@@nickybloodbone thanks so much dude!
23:42 it’s funnier if you keep the conversation going when you sacrifice the rachni then you can threaten the Turian Councilor’s live and then hang up on him
15:48 - 16:09 This whole segment was perfect.
@@PopeDuwang the dog analogy was TERRIBLE! I'd never sick my dog on a bear to try and get away?!

I think it was the mods
I love these videos. the streams were so much fun too!!
@@notellier thanks so much dude!

51:07 the worst part is that she does actually change and get better LMFAO
@@markvlogs3128 😂 Figures. But at that point it was such an easy decision for me

Welp.. I usually never watch play-throughs that pick Kaidan over Ashley.
38:29 Hell Nah😂😂😂 0 1200 to Dick me Down 😂😂😂 i scared the shit out of my Dog laughing so loud at 3am 😅
Sometimes the intrusive thoughts win 😂

6:28 there’s the best companion in the trilogy btw
I subscribed before even watching the video bc I loved the title lol
😂 Thanks dude
Not sure if you’re into Star Wars and they are getting a bit on the older side, but I would love to see you play Knights of The Old Republic
Make the council great again Micheal
I accidentally romanced Kaiden in my playthrough and was surprised about it. I was holding out for Garrus. 💙😍 It still worked out.
Gambling in ME1 is blackjack, ME2 is dogfighting, and ME3 is racing. XD
"What would you change about yourself, other than the obvious." IS such a good insult omg ahahaha
Only downside to FemShep is no Tali romance 😢
But ! upside is Garrus romance ;)
Fun fact: If you choose the right dialogue options you can radicalize Kaiden into being super racist. It's weird as hell and I think it gets retconed out in the later games even if you do it

Ah the feels after watching exodus. I’m getting emotional at seeing an actual good game.
I remember the marketing videos leading up to Mass Effect 1. Exodus gives me the same vibes.
