Hey guys! Sorry for the sluggish release of this video, Ash and I got our wires crossed. Hope you enjoyed this different style of video and I would love to hear more about your favourite examples of foreshadowing in gaming and media! - R
Fun fact the Reason the elusive man's eyes are the way they are on this is spoiler whoever wants to read the comic books for mass effect do not read this any farther but the reason his eyes glow like that is because he was exposed to a reaper technology which permanently changed his eyes he actually saw a vision about was going to happen and for some reason it did permanently stain his eyes that color
Really great video. Shows just how much Bioware writing has changed from Mass Effect subtlety (for some things), to now where they hit you over the head with foreshadowing and see the story coming 5 miles away in Anthem. Hopefully Dragon Age 4 returns more to form. We still see glimpses of it, like the story with Meralda in Anthem, and Jien Garson in Andromeda. They still have the ability to surprise and delight us, and best of all, make us feel. Just need more of that, and less of the noise.
@@OuterOdyssey I still liked Andromeda quite abit. It really made me feel like an explorer in uncharted lands. though some of its writing wasn't as sharp as original trilogy!
I just love this, I hope you make more for Mass Effect! I din't think about that with the warden on the space jail you get Jack from. I noted he had no facial markings, but thought he had them taken off due to his profession.
Is be last common to make book my favorite foreshadowing moments in games are either the music or the environment story time where you feel the pressure of the story and you feel the weight of your decisions I also like moments that don't play on the main story but through there and they make you realize how much Responsibility your characters carry for example my favorite moment in mass effect 3 is when you're walking through the refugee doc and you can use here all of the conversations and how wars going in every decision you make had an effect on the Galaxy it makes you really feel like there is so much pressure on your character and Decisions are making
Any I think the live good game companies have gotten that for shadowing technique down by aware and bungee both had good for shadowing methods that really added to the game
One of my favorites in the first Mass Effect is that the overhead map of the citadel tower/council chambers is the same shape as a reaper. Pretty interesting and definitely something that would go over new players heads! photobucket.com/gallery/user/Luan_Vetoreti/media/cGF0aDovcmVhcGVyLmpwZw==/?ref=
@@OuterOdyssey I do too, Hawke is my girl. It can be fun I guess to create your own protagonist for one and three, but I find a structured adn created character is more fun to follow. Like Shepard! and I'm sorry, I couldn't play Dragon Age Origins. The litle map looked way too much like GTO to me and kept taking me out of the mood, as well as your character having no voice. That was an odd choice. Glad they fixed that for three, but I just couldn't get past 2 hours in Origins cause of those two things! A friend of mine had the same issue and never went further than 4 hours.
Personally I think a lot of people are going overboard with their negative thoughts about Bioware The truth is a made a lot of great games and they've only really may 2 games that were a major let down yes they did Yes I'm not gonna lie they were major letdown them not can sugarcoat it they did definite the company and I know anthem isn't the greatest game but it has been tensional to be a good game at is a fun game if you like looter shooters and have friends to play with and if you're playing by yourself it's an OK game but it makes money for a year or so so they can get good games out like dragon age and mass effect look the truth is I still believe they have a chance and I think if they improve if they go back to the route and they go back to what made them a good company though bounce back but if they don't yeah I'm very worried where they're going to go and they could possibly go out of business I really don't want that but realistically unless they bows back in get back to what made them a great gaming company we're not gonna get that
The problem is both games came consecutively and the signs are they have moved away from the core of what worked for them. BioWare need to go back to what made them special and stop trying to become something they are not, anthem always looked like a bad idea following destiny. dragon age looks next up for them and maybe in 10 years time we will see mass effect rebirth on new systems.

Another cool one, in Mass Effect 1, when you talk to Kaiden by the Mass Relay Statue, he says does any one else hear that low hum
man i miss mass effect so much thank you guys so much for making a video feature mass effect in this way.
No problem, we still love Mass Effect so there will be ME on this channel from time to time :-)
The score in ME3 is unmatched the music gets so haunting
ME3 has my favourite score in the trilogy, just so epic and beautiful - R
"I was lost without you." I have that for my phone ringtone .
Spec Ops: The Line is better.

Sandal foreshadowing SOLAS in DA2
I really wish they would remaster this. Especially 1 using combat mechanics of 3
The Organic vs Synthetic conflict: All through out the ME trilogy.
Ezo harming suns: One planet in Mass Effect 2.
It was planed.
SpectreSaunders that was a fan theory. A lot of people were mad that BW didn't rewrite their game to match that theory
This forgotten storyline had such great potential
Iove that you covered musical themes and motifs.

Totally agree, the older Bioware games have a very subtle touch to them which has waned in recent years :-/

This is the type of videos Ash and I want to hopefully start producing, something slightly more different and in depth on the games we love - R
@@OuterOdyssey I look forward to it!

"suicide mission" is mentioned in dialogue in ME1 (I just can't recall where anymore.) There are a lot more than you show here in ME.
I had a massive list but to keep the video within time, I just picked my favourites :-)
@@OuterOdyssey Ok, understandable!

Wow! Never knew about this; this is so clever. Just love how extra Bioware was with their easter eggs - R
A lot of Dragon Age 2 clips does Rima have a soft spot for the game like a do.
I do have a soft spot for DA2, genuinely love the story and characters in the game and feel like it's let down by it's poor environmental design. - R

R.I.P Bioware.
BioWare might as well sell their games to CD Projekt Red to continue it's legacy
Discord link does not seem to work for me
I'll have Ash look into this and see if there is an issue :-) - R
Odyssey Gaming Thanks!
