  It took 9 months but the Me trilogy has finally been put to bed... Kinda.<br>I have a ton of topics I had to cut from all three videos that I&apos;d like to discuss, especially the cut content of Me3 I learned about after I finished editing this video. No promises, but I&apos;d like to do a brief followup video covering those topics. <br>I&apos;d also like to do a 12 hour supercut of the three videos so I can get a chance to fix some of the audio and visual jank of the other two vids and maybe sneak in some bonus content. That&apos;s going to be up to my editing software, though. This video was already causing me a lot of trouble, so I need to solve those issues before I can get a 12 hour vid done.<br>Finally, Andromeda is going to get covered before ME4 releases but I want to take some time off from ME before tackling it.<br>Thanks for all the support and patience. All you people waiting for TES and Fallout content to return to the channel, don&apos;t worry, I got you covered in the coming months.

  In the scene where you shoot Mordin to prevent the cure, you pull out a Carniflex. The same gun Mordin gave you in Mass Effect 2 in his recruitment mission. A good faith present. Doesn&apos;t matter what pistol you had prior or even if you didn&apos;t equip a pistol. You&apos;ll always pull out Mordin&apos;s gift to stop him.

  Captain Bailey is such a low-key badass. Nothing ruffles him. Watches Shepherd &amp; Wrex trying to kill each other, resulting in Wrex getting blasted, and all he says is “What pissed him off” before basically shrugging his shoulders. I love him.

  The combination of Gwyn&apos;s theme with the renegade conclusion of the Genophage arc is pure, soul-crushing tragedy.

  My take on the whole &quot;Wrex is different in ME3 than in other games&quot; is that they made it much closer to Wreav in order to save on development time/dialogue/work

  The scene of Mordin regretting his decisions, standing up to Shep, and struggling against his own death in a fight to right all his wrongs, is heart-wrenching. 😭

  &quot;ME 3 had to deal with a first game that didn&apos;t define enough of the series and a sequel that hated its predecessor and spent its time telling side stories.&quot; - Fuck, it&apos;s the Disney Star Wars trilogy.

  Your Andromeda video should be called &apos;ME:A Culpa&apos;.

  You do get a choice in the Spectre terminal relating to the soldier getting briefed by the docks. If you drop by multiple times, you hear that her brother joined Cerberus before the war, and her unit is slated to deploy against Cerberus. Not wanting to ever have to make the implied awful choice, she asks to be reassigned to fight against the Reapers. Shepard can make that happen for her at the Spectre terminal.

  The scene where Shep threatens Mordin just solidified for me that he is one of if not the best written character in the entire series, and his death is undoubtedly the saddest death in the whole franchise no matter how he dies.

  The Tuchanka Arc is brilliant. Fantastic storytelling where prior choices matter, adding depth to characters and worldbuilding, and making some hard choices that lead to replayability. <br><br>If only they had kept the Geth as nuanced as Legion&apos;s ME2 portrayal had set them up as. Also, having orbital bombardment on a Reaper seems pretty epic but makes zero sense. Anything that hit the Reaper would vaporize Shepard as well. Mass Effect &quot;rail gun&quot; style slugs as depicted in this universe would have ended up like nuclear bombs in the amount of force depicted. As the dude on the Citadel in ME2 stated, &quot;Sir Isaac Newton is the deadliest son of a bitch in the galaxy.&quot;
