The Biotics quest that was given to you by Admiral Hackett after you left the Citadel is definitely worth completing before you go to Ilos. It's pretty short, especially for Paragon Shepard, so you should be able to do both in the next video.
Fun Fact: The batarians used to have an embassy in the Citadel, however, they quickly proved to be more trouble than they were worth to the point that when the batarians were bullying the new kids on the block, aka humanity, the Council sided with humanity.
I think the DLC you're referring to at around 1:11:00 is Bring Down the Sky, which is what you were playing at the time. The only other DLC I remember is called Pinnacle Station, but it didn't make it into Legendary Edition because the source code was corrupted.
I'm glad you did this DLC. It's quite the intro to the batarians. They have probably the worst wrap out of any species lol. You'll see them again for sure, and Balak. You'll find out when you do. I'm sooo not ready to wait for ME2, but it be like that sometimes. I understand not wanting to rush your first time. Sure, you've missed a bunch of stuff, but there's always playthrough 2 (and 3, 4, 5, etc) to do it all. It's been fun watching you have fun with what you've done. Let's save the galaxy without the council's help (dummies).
when I said you should do the Asteroid DLC in last part, I admit I completely forgot about this whole cidadel part... the biotics notification is for different quest I believe. It just all comes in because this is your last chance to do sideequests before you are locked in the final mission also reason why you feel strong in DLC is that even tough this DLC was released after game, it still can be done in early game (it is old school game, it was before games that allowed you to play after finishing story)
Even though you don't _need_ the money, you can actually get up to 9 million credits (and it's an achievement, in case you care about those things). So you're not even close to maxing out your money. Just clear out your inventory, because you do _not_ want to get messages about the inventory being full when you're in the final mission(s) of the game. It'll really take you out of the suspense and story when you are constantly reminded and needing to micromanage it. Plus you'll be apologizing to us again, so just get rid of it all. Sell it to the Normandy Quarter Master and be done with it. Especially because you're going to find a ton of loot again. *Flux* The guys protesting for Terra Firma in front of Flux provide Ashley with unique dialogue if you'd brought her with you. She's the only one with unique dialogue, since they're talking about her grandfather. They'll also be referenced somewhere in ME2 (including the spokesperson), not as a very important aspect, but it will show the clout they have. *Helena Blake* This is a mission you could've picked up earlier, which would've allowed you to do the planet-missions for Helena and meet her at the base you've raided. This allows her to show up in ME2 for additional content. Since you haven't talked to her on the Citadel, you probably won't be able to take on this side quest. *Conrad* If you've talked to Conrad three times during ME1, he'll make an appearance in ME2 and ME3 as well. Seeing how you've skipped him, he won't be available in the rest of the trilogy. That's unfortunate; you would've appreciated the encounters. And yes, people _will_ probably berate you for it, because he's kind of the stereotypical fanboy satire ;) But hey - it's your playthrough. And it just means if you ever do a replay, you have something to look forward to. *Jenna* This quest is available from the moment you step foot on the Citadel in episode 2, so you've avoided her all this time ;) At that time you could use some decent mods since you don't have more than three of them, but by now it's pretty useless. *Tali* In ME2 they revamped the tech abilities, making them a _lot_ more effective in conjunction to weapons. *DLC difficulty* The DLC is meant to be played around level 15-20, although many people accidentally mistake it for the first side quest and dive into it head-first when they can use the Normandy. Then this DLC is pretty difficult. But when you're "kind of" maxed, the combat doesn't really make you break a sweat. Besides, you should probably play on a bit higher difficulty, considering your abilities. Not that ME1 is that much different in difficulty level though; the only thing higher difficulties do is add more shields to enemies. ME2 makes much more use of the difficulty level that it gets more challenging. *Missing stuff* I don't really feel like you're missing much. Sure, you may miss something here and there in bases/dungeons, but it's just loot, really. And you're generally pretty thorough, so I'm not sure what's there to criticize. The only things you're missing are side quests and dialogues on the Citadel and out on random planets mostly. And no, they're not necessary to do, so don't sweat it. *Enemies not dying* The enemies that hardly take damage have a white glow around them, which means they've applied the ability "Immunity", which is the one you have as well. That shows you how much damage it soaks up :) *Second DLC* There was a second DLC called "Pinnacle Station" for ME1, but they didn't include it in LE because it was technically just a training ground that wasn't really worth including.
You aimed the abilities, hooray! That's awesome! :D And to ease your worries, sparing Balak will come back in a very positive way in 3. (Sad that Conrad Verner's quest has been cut short. He's a constant in every game and it's stupidly fun. Oh well.)
You haven't missed any DLCs, although there are plenty of small side missions you haven't done, as you know. I believe every star system in the game has at least one planet you can land on and explore with the Mako, and most of those have at least one small side mission. Of those, a fair few involve shady experiments being conducted by Cerberus, the group that killed Admiral Kahoku. That's probably as much as you need to know, going forward.
conrad, your choice ofc, but you might wish to edit save file before starting me2 as there is a bug, in all the games, where conrad think you chose the renegade option, even if you did not do that
about HEADSHOTS, in the normal version, the non legendary edition, you do not have headshots, you can shot them in the head or the toe, for the same amount of damage, which is why legendary is so easy on insanity now days, you just run around headshotting everyone, instead of spending a minute grinding down every basic enemy. I tried to play first on non legendary and then second on legendary, but saves were not compatible, even with modding the save, so you either play all games on legendary edition or all on the original, original the first one is much harder on insanity, but on legendary insanity is pretty easy, but on me2 legendary is still pretty hard on insanity as they added/fixed headshot damage on the non legendary edition as well
ah, I hate endings.I wanna stay in Mass Effect longer, so I'm cool if you jump into the next game in the series after wrapping up 😄 thanks for the episode!
Yeah, honestly ME2 and 3 are miles better than ME1 is literally every aspect. But this game started off the trilogy (Andromeda doesn't count IMO) and the story is just SOOOOO good and original. It needs to be turned into like an HBO or FX series. I know they originally tried to turn it into a movie back in the day, but it stalled in pre-production and never happened. It's a complicated storyline, and you can't effectively mix in the who "decision making process" without pissing people off. F that, you're always gonna slightly upset the hardcore fans. "Fallout" is doing a great job of ignoring all of that currently. I think they could do an entire 8-10 episode season 1 of First Contact war prologue, something about Mars where we find ancient Protheon technology, finding the Sol Mass Relay, then finding the Citidel and meeting all of the aliens, and towards the end of season 1 Shepard finally becomes a Specter. It might be 3 games, but it's about 90hrs of total gameplay and it shouldn't be a movie or something done in 3 seasons. It also doesn't have to follow the storyline down to the T. I just want to see this Universe and have the overarching storyline stay accurate in terms of the Reapers and why they exist. Anything else can change a bit.
U think people have problem with your zoom in mako because you have never used it, you used something else, that just made a border around the cannon, lol, not the real zoom feature
i like how you keep saying the Mako as how its pronounced in FF7, but in this game its said like "may-ko", but maybe keep saying it as you do for the sake of it XD
I'm skipping to the latest video from part 2 and he was just saying how immersed he was. One thing I would recommend is taking the time to read the codex's at least off cam
I am not enjoying your play style like many others that play this game but am curious to see what you do when it comes to do big decisions. Its your game so do what you want.
Not the "Shut up Conrad" .... and so ends the legend of Conrad Verner.
That felt like a huge stabb 😢
The Biotics quest that was given to you by Admiral Hackett after you left the Citadel is definitely worth completing before you go to Ilos. It's pretty short, especially for Paragon Shepard, so you should be able to do both in the next video.
Mass Effect 1 and Andromeda are my favorites, but you'll really enjoy the transition into ME2. They're all amazing games.
First episode of ME2 gonna hit different

Great synopsis of your narrative choices, as always. Also epic rebound on that timer 😂
the huge ship, Destiny Ascension have about 10 000 people on board

leaving a comment for the algorithm ;) anyways i the ending is gonna be like a solid 2-3 maybe even 4 hours depending on how fast/slow u play it
no imagine having HALF the inventory, which is the original game
I hope you'll do more side quests. You might appreciate that when you'll be playing ME2.
You should really check out the Codex off screen if you haven't yet. Some of the best world building I've seen in Sci-Fi.

I'll be diving into Dishonored first but I would like to head into Mass Effect 2 right afterwards

Can't wait for me2

It's easy because it seems you are playing in baby mode.
? I mean its not straight up difficult or anything but I am playing on Hard Mode. Ik its not the hardest mode but hard mode aint baby mode
I am not enjoying your play style like many others that play this game but am curious to see what you do when it comes to do big decisions. Its your game so do what you want.
