I remember leveling up Jenkins just right before he died the first time I played ME1. I screamed at the screen because I was so pissed at him for dying when I just wasted good points on him. Poor Kaidan was probably expecting a sympathetic response (war hero spacer Shepard) but I gave the renegade answer of basically “fuck him. Let’s just leave his body”

Hey that interpretive dance Liara is doing is a long held Asari tradition, meant to inspire and motivate before battle. Don't you feel motivated watching her do the traditional "Float Dab"? Even Tali is getting in on that pre-fight dance routine.
omg that liara moment. I did not expect that. You are definitely one of the greatest playthrough / dialogue youtubers! With the needed backstory plus these little easter eggs in between? Awesome. AND A FEW SECONDS AFTER WE GET THAT TALI ONE. JUST PERFECT
I just had to wait till Kaiden was out of the hospital to go. You never brought Javik though, I'm disappointed. 12:28 LOL, Liara having flashbacks too.
I havent played mass effect 1 through 3 in a few years thank you after watching your videos again which i also havent watched in a few years i need another play through in my life
David Tran not necessarily I think, when Jarvik was born war against reapers has been raging on for centuries already, all he remembered and experience could very well due to the circumstances of war.
@@chizhang4369 They uplifted species and ruled over them as an empire to prepare for the reapers coming. They weren't necessarily evil, but Liara painted them like they were saints; it's only natural seeing what their technology brought the galaxy, and how engrossed she was in prothean history. I mean Javiks attitude may be different if he was born in an early time period, but probably not very much.
Who knew, out of all of us that played this for the first time, that it would lead us into a great and crazy adventure? Jenkins dying pretty much gave you that little push, that feeling of paragon vs renegade decision (Justice or Vengeance). It would also lead us to more choices, some easy (we always stab Kai Leng. Always), and some extremely difficult (Genophage). Thank you, Bioware. You may be in a bad rut right now, but y'all did GOOD with this trilogy.
@@QuickSilverKitsune from what Javik and Victory said, they would have had a million protheans in stasis, but roughly 300 thousand were destroyed in the initial bombardment by the Reapers. 50000 years and 500k+ deaths from simply being triaged out is a bad way to go.
I love the little details of the pre-mission. And during the discussion of Eden Prime, Kaidan/Ashley states how they lost good people there, they sound like there were there. Of course, they were there. Shepard and Kaidan lost one of their men (Jenkins) and Ashley lost her unit there and probably would have died there had not for Shepard and Kaidan's intervention. Meanwhile the rest note that the attack was the first major offensive the Reapers (and Saren) did against Shepard, as if they got the info from the news outlets. Garrus remembering how frustrated he was trying to find dirt against Saren, exactly when we first met him back at ME1.
Looks like Mass Effect is modded to have Anderson in the newer Mass Effect 3 uniform. Imagine if the Star Trek episode The Cage used the uniforms from The Motion Picture or The Wrath of Khan🤣 Odd to see Javik before waking him up
Those geth were what legion called the heretics, its where geth are under control of the reapers or what they call the old machines as the geth see the old machines as gods because the creators/quarians attacked and they seeked help from the old machines/reapers for existance
When Javik awakes in the present day on Eden Prime and learns from Shepard that he's the last of his people, it reminds me in Angel S05 about how Illyria, the last of the Old Ones, learned she too had been gone and sleeping, technically, for far, far, too long below the earth in her sarcophagus, before finding out also she was the last Old One still alive on Earth, imagine in her case really, waking up after thousands of years and knowing like her alone you are the last of your kind, your people dead, your world gone, your name and legacy a mere memory and no-one remembers you like they should anymore, awww, the poor girl, poor old girl, you got to feel sorry for Illyria, that pain and anger and hatred and revenge and loneliness, eventually though, without outwardly admitting, must had made show her, thanks to Angel and Wesley she had some kind of heart and softer side underneath, maybe or not, kindness, who knows really, all in all, point is really, Illyria and Javik are almost the same sort of person, last of their kind in a world they awake and near enough understand over time, like the Doctor does as well, right? As he too is the last of his people after 2,00 years, regardless of recent events related to it.
Most likely used a mod or something. Back in ME2, characters that wouldn't be available in some areas still had lots of dialog for them if you had a mod that allowed you to have them from the start.
***** He uses Javik on the shuttle because Javik has no lines (understandable, because this is Javik's recruitment mission.) Because he can't talk, this forces the other squadmate to do all the talking - useful for when you're trying to record all the dialogue a given character has. Basically, think of it like a priority queue, and Javik has the lowest value, so he is always chosen last to speak. Thus anyone you bring along with him always goes first.
PsyrenXY that would be logical but can't work here, Liara is a mandatory companion in this quest so there is only one companion dialogue variation on this mission
*could have been **_FLAWLESS,_** if it weren't for all the shots of **_JAVIK_** being present for conversations that took place **_BEFORE_** he was released. other that that, well done editing, and narrative tethering.*
RedStarBolt thank you! Edit: oh wait, I think I did this but something went wrong, because none of my stuff looks like what your armor looks looks like.I guess I should keep playing with it.
Daily reminder that the entire galaxy was saved by that one guy who was asleep behind the crates.
He was actually a weapon smuggler
My man Powell is the real MVP of the series
Man, i love that Kaidan and Ash only mention the bodies on Ilos while Garrus and Tali mention both Ilos and the Collectors. It's such a nice detail.
When people say Jacob is the most forgettable squadmate in mass effect.
Did you remember Jenkins!? Had a move pool and everything.
I'm late to the party, but if you upgrade Jenkins in NG+ his stats transfer to Ashley. He most likely was just a re skinned Ash.
I remember more about Jenkins than this Jacob you mention that I guess was a squadmate at some point.
WoW fans would remember him.
@@vladromanenko18 lmao
No one will ever forget Bro Leroy. So yes, Jacob is most forgettable.
"Hey, I just like dinosaurs." Nobody ever gives James enough credit. One of the better human squadmates.
Yeah, he would have been a much better squadmate in the first game than Kaiden Alenko. That guy was such a plank of wood
Yes. Imo he IS the best of all human squadmates of whole trilogy.
Yeah hes ok hes got some personality at least, i dont like him because hes such a meathead and overly emotional i could buy it if he was a sergeant but hes a lieutenant officer so hes behavior doesnt seem realistic especially his lack of fear when talking back to someone as high rank as shepherd

Oh my god...I just got it...Jenkins...
LEEEEEEEEROY JENKINNNNNNNNSSSSS!
Yeah I remember seeing his name when I first played the game. "Richard L. Jenkins." and thinking, "He's going to run in, isn't he?"
Ha just got it now
29:12 Javik proceed to destroy all the Normandy crew
*Sees Javik in the shuttle while the crew reminisces about Eden Prime*
Me: "Wait, hang on, what--"
When Jenkins use the word "gorgeous" and "boring", I know it was the end for him.
This is well put together! Nice job :)

Hey they still cooperate.
The Protheans believe that everyone has the right to join the empire under threat of death😀

all the memories. kind of depressing. Makes me want to play mass effect 1 again

I had to do a double take because it was Javik in the ship with them and this was the mission where we get him LOL.
Really good video btw, thanks!
I just love your style of videos
I always wondered why no-one else became suspicious of Saren. He's the only turian you ever meet that looks like that.
I think the comics show why that is, iirc.
How did the council not suspect saran i mean look at him
1:46
I'm sorry.. Is that Javik on the ship before even getting to Eden Prime? LMAO!
And to think that the first time I played Mass Effect I considered none of the events on Eden Prime that interesting.
