Imagine that Reddit user’s surprise when he was using photo mode on Miranda’s backside only to accidentally discover Hackett riding atop the Normandy and peeking into Shepard’s quarters.
Hackett sees all
Ceiling Hackett watches you bang.
Hackett... Out?
@@Hidden-Kard
Hackett Knows A L L
Hackett Eternety
The detail about Jona is referenced in Dragon Age inquisition's DLC by Cole "It was the same boy. His mother on the ship, his father in their homeland. He grew up lonely, or didn't"
How in the World did you notice that?
@@Dalipsingh111111 I really like Mass Effect that much.
Poor jona 💔
One of my most memorable, and also one of the most heartbreaking in my opinion, details in the series is finding Charr's dead body in ME3 during the missing Krogan team mission. He was such a romantic and didn't really seem like a fighter by Krogan standards, so it's always sad to see
This!!! It makes me so sad! It felt like only a moment prior he was reciting poetry to Ereba, and then you just find him dead. Tragic.
Charr and Ereba's fate made me cry ngl
RIP Charr. May the seed you planted grow strong in your garden.
They actually did throw Engineers a bone already in ME2...
Unlike every other class in the game, the Engineer gets a 25% discount on ship and squad upgrades, meaning you have to spend much less time mining for ressources. So not only are they the only class to get a specific discount, but also the only class to get unique interupts!
Man I love engineer, enemies just can't get enuff of the drone, my preferred insanity class
I didn't know that! Also, engineer has a unique line of dialogue in the citadel dlc
Ironic, Infiltrator and engineer were my favourite classes before Legendary Edition.
I always thought that was weird. My very first and most common class in both the original and legendary editions was an engineer.
I just switched to engineer after playing the first 2 games as adept and it's so much fun
I quite like the Shifty Looking Cow. It's one of those old-school inside jokes a dev snuck in that has no broader significance, but gives the game a little bit of extra character.
Shifty Cow also makes an appearance on the leaderboards for the Armax combat simulator in the Citadel DLC. Wonder how it got there ;)
I’ll bet it was a test unit for some unused game mechanic, that was then stuck in a cow on a random-ass planet so it wouldn’t go completely unused.
@@SynchronizorVideos I think it was just an easter egg.
"I love the history of the Shifty Cow easter egg. When the character artists designed the space cow with two extra arms, Preston, our lead designer, was a little creeped out. His comment was "You can’t trust any animal that can milk itself." Those extra little hands look so... grabby. So Preston came up with the idea of Shifty Cow. Turn your back on him, and those creepy little hands are going to go to work. Kiss those credits goodbye."
The engineer trick in ME3 is more frustrating than anything. It is the only time in the trilogy that you get a real bonus or perk depending on your class. There should have been numerous situations like that throughout the game.
imagine an alternative ending for Zaeed's loyalty mission if your Shep is a vanguard. Zaeed starts hitting those valves only for you to have a unique SHEPARD CHARGE intterump and catch Vido
@meci or if you play an adept, maybe you could have used pull or something to save Tarquin Victus. There are plenty of places that class specific actions could have been implemented.
For the Mars Rover to appear in ME3 you have to walk through the radar dishes in a specific maze like path, there is a map online if you search. Once you walk the path properly the rover will show up.
I guess I walked it correctly without ever knowing it as I saw it the day of release for the game.
Started a new game just a few days ago and it's literally there no matter what.
Dont think it moved for me though, but it's always behind the rocks
@@jimileewatt3062 To get it to move out of it's spot the character needs to be walked through the radar system in a certain path, I'll remember to clarify in the future.
You can also just walk over and ads on your gun and you’ll see half of it behind a rock
I've always gotten Jack's secret end slide in my numerous playthroughs, even when I had high war assets. It was only after I decided to put the students as backing help did I get the other Jack Slide.
They die if you put them to the front lines.
The slide only hits depending on the ending chosen. I have never seen it on destroy ending and I pick destroy pretty much everytime. Then again that was on original editions not legendary.
@@archersterling8707 I just few days ago finished ME3 on legendary edition. Had max war assets, put them in frontlines, chose destroy and got that slide.
@@archersterling8707 It definitely shows up on the destroy ending if they're sent to the frontlines.
I pick Control and have seen this slide everytime when I send them to the frontlines. I always have high war assets too
10:30 Once I chose the students as biotic artillery. Then checked about it on fandom. Realizing that it was too cruel for Jack, I felt like shit and immediately restarted the mission and chose them as back-rank support.
Edit: Jack also mentions this choice in citadel dlc while giving Shepard a tattoo.
I did not know that about Hackett being on the Normandy. That is hilarious.
Remember one time when i said that the husk head from Bryson's lab could still be connected to the Reapers and they were using it to spy on Shepard's bedroom, well now we know, it was actually admiral Hackett. 🤣
Hackett: Damn right son
I'm playing through Andromeda right now. There are a lot of NPCs who are related to characters in the OG Trilogy. The Nexus' chief of security, Tiran is Nyreen Kandross' cousin-the female turian in the Omega DLC in ME3. Conrad Verner's sister works in a bar on Kadara Port. And the clan Drack belongs to is the same one who tries to get Maelon to cure the Genophage in ME2.
Hey, just a little correction - Drack is from a different clan. He's clan Nakmor, in ME2 we saw clan Weyrloc. Among clan Nakmor we have some krogans from clan Jorgal and also one dude from clan Urdnot - Urdnot Grot. So we have a krogan from Wrex's clan, but not peeps from Weyrloc clan.
To add on to what the other commenter said, we do see Clan Nakmor in ME2, but only the Ambassador representing his clan.
To add on to that I beleive Zaeed Massani's Son is in Mass Effect Andromeda too
@@jordanskene3243 Yep. Then there's the fan theory saying Cora is the Illusive Man's daughter (the timeline doesn't add up though)
Wait, it was a tattoo? I always thought mordin had some natural cosmetic patterns like that of the asari.
Could be, dan just called it a tattoo, but im leaning towards a natural skin pattern, or a Turian face paint type thing
no they are tattoos for the Asari also.
I wish that the other tech focused classes, the infiltrator and sentinel classes, would also have the option to share the power appropriately. It seems disappointing that Shepards that still divert much of their skill set to technology would be considered “stupid grunts” by the story as per what Shepard said in the dlc.
This just speaks to the greater problem that classes rarely ever played a part in the story despite their clear ability to be relevant in certain circumstances. A biotic Shepard should be able to do things that we see EVERY OTHER biotics do within the series. An infiltrator shouldn’t approach everything like the forward focused vanguard or soldier classes. It’s just disappointing that the games seemed to have just been built for the default soldier Shepard.
If you play on pc, there's a mod (for both legendary and original recipe) that gives sentinels and infiltrators the engineer interupt on omega.
I totally agree with your overall point though. Like sneaking around in arrival should have been different for my infiltrator to my other playthroughs.
I completely agree with you and bioware did as well. In ME Andromeda they completely removed the classes and allowed you to pick whatever powers you wanted. It made for much better gameplay however even that couldn't save the game from it's terrible writing.
Jacks end slide happens if you put students on front lines even with maxed war assets rating.
Cole (from Dragon Age): "It was the same boy. His mother on the ship. His father in their homeland. He grew up lonely, or didn't."
I never had the guts to make jack students fight the front lines I always had a bad feeling from the Dialogue and after finding out now my gut feeling was right makes me happy they deserve to live
Your EMS score has no impact on the end slide with Jack...
The only thing that matters to get this outcome, is your choice to put them on the front lines. The only thing that makes the slide "rare" is the fact that both Jack, Sanders and Mass Effect game design very obviously tells you what will happen to them if you go with that choice! So even if Support gets you 50 war assets, while Front Lines gives you 75, it's probably not a big enough difference to make people throw them into the grinder, especially with how attached Jack is to them
Honestly. Jack aside, just watching her students is enough to make me at least not put them on the front lines. They are clearly green as grass and overeager. They would get themselves killed.
its not necesary have low war assets to get the jack's student's graves ending, only punt them on front line :v
I still count that as Jenkins lore you cannot change my mind
I love the engineer class in mass effect 3 in makes me feel like I have an army on me at all time ps I loved the omega dlc mission
I remember when I encountered the shifty looking for for the first time. Let's just say I left the game unpaused and left, I was in front of the cow. I'll never get those credits back
I know this comment is a year old, but how many credits did you lose? XD
we need to know bro
Wow, never even put together those were her daughters. Still learning things after all these years...
So you can trigger the Mars Rover coming over to you by snaking in between the nearby solar panels in a certain order.
That Engineer interrupt may be my fave moment of the series - respect for the Engineer class!
i've been having a pretty bad day today so i'm really happy you uploaded today
Keep your head up king
@@TheNerdguy57 thank you 🙏
There's an additional line from Maya in the Citadel DLC about her forgetting you were an engineer as well. Well worth playing that class for. Lol just kidding though I do think it's an under appreciated class. In both 2 and 3 if you get Tali and her drone as well as yours, you can really control just about any engagement.
I like playing with Tali and Legion cuz then we all have drones.
It’s just the three best friends that anyone could have!
@@definitelynotskynet I guess I never play with Legion long enough to ever do that, but that's amazing!
Engineer is a pretty good pick in ME1 since you’ll be fighting lots of geth throughout the main story.
@@MisterDutch93 Yeah problem is ME2 and ME3 enemies are for the most part organics . Something the Engineer class struggles with. Especially crowd control of organics.
@@clothar23the drone can help with that. The biggest problem the Engi has in ME2 is they don't have any way to deal with barriers on their own.
It’s honestly insane how many details like this exist. It shows how passionate and how much love the devs have for this trilogy.
8:32 I did collect all the loot but never knew that cutscene existed 😅
Me too! 😅
10:32 That happens if you make that choice regardless of EMS score. I chose it on my first ME3, got the Shepard lives ending and still saw that slide with Jack.
Fuck's sake. Now whenever I get freaky with a love interest before the suicide mission(except Miranda down in the engine room), all I'm gonna be able to think of is Hackett standing on the outer hull, staring in through the skylight. Creepy old bastard
Okay I actually have never seen the hidden cutscene on Eden Prime. And I do always avoid the beacon to loot the containers on the edges of the platform too. I'm impressed, something I legit didn't know about mass effect.
It's new to the Legendary Edition.
@@MandalorianRevan Nope, it's always been there. I saw it many times in the OG game.
6:21 the action of shutting down the reactor causes power to fail in areas of the station including environmental controls so people will die if the reactor is shut down without bypassing those systems. Wards doesn't always mean hospital in these games.
Fun fact: In the original version of Mass effect 2, Kasumi's recruitment advertisement includes dialogue that was taken out of the Legendary edition.
The dialogue relates to geishas, so I won't quote it, but if you know which line I mean, good for you.
Been playing this game for years and I still keep learning new things. Mass Effect is amazing. Keep it up the good work😆
Harbinger in the footage at the end of the Freedom's Progress mission?
Also related to Mordin's Reaper tattoo, there's a Reaper marking in the Batarian base on Aratoht hidden near the room where you find Kenson, similar in design to the Leviathan cave paintings in one of the missions in ME3 Leviathan.
The citadel council chambers also are shaped like a reaper in ME1.
I can’t believe I missed #7! I’ve looked over there MULTIPLE times, but never stuck around… 🤦🏻♂️
The quarian orphan one hit me hard as someone who lost both my parents
I'm sorry.
not as hard as your father would have
@@Blox117 you aren't even trying to hide the fact that you're an internet troll are you?
@@ACrazedGaming you cant take a joke can you
@@Blox117 not when it comes to my pops who was KIA in Fallujah so people like you can make jokes
Normally I'm all for it but not when it comes to my fam
Bid Dan, did you notice the dialogue of the Shiala Asari from ME1...if you spare Shiala her, you meet her again in ME2 and complete the side quest; she tells you she wants to hook up and even gives you a little grin....too bad this wasn't explored better
Fair play, I never knew about the Eden Prime cutscene! Knew about everything else but you found something I’d missed. Kudos!
I was not expecting the last detail one bit at all and it gave me hard chills. The irony I am watching this on Memorial Day weekend
Awesome List! THANKS DAN!
I have played the games several times, but I never noticed the NPC connections and unique scenes you've highlighted.
I will replay ME3 soon. I guess I should give engineering class a try. 🤔
Great video. Played the trilogy 5 times and i only knew about 2/10 of these! So much detail in these games.
Great vid!
Apparently, the Mars Rover only triggers if you walk through area following a specific route.
You can play these games 100 times all over again and still learn new things
Eden Prime cutscene was around in the original version too. Glad they took the time to spiffy up and make the damage more realistic in the Legendary Verson.
Lol perks of always playing engineer class watching different scenes, dialogues and interruptions 😁😁
I've cleared the loot around the beacon before but never saw that cutscene with the landing area. Cool find
If you played Dragon Age Inquisition, Cole will mention a dialogue regarding Jona losing both his/her parents. He was also vague whether Jona survives or not.
Yet another amazing video Dan! Miss the live streams tho!!!
To me Engineer doesn't get enough love in the classes (I routinely go with Infiltrator or Eng in 2&3) which is why I love playing as one in ME 3. Also you can get Jack's slide very routinely if you select the students as frontline. Typically happens in my playthroughs.
These were awesome and makes me wonder if you've learned more about two characters that always seemed to be something more?: The human woman in ME1 at the consort's "my brother is a private back on earth". And the human officer that hangs out in the wards at the CSEC entrance. He's awful chatty, has a unique appearance I thought, provides nothing codex or mission related though. I always suspected they just stuck a bioware fan in the game maybe.
God this channel is awesome, ive been able to see SO MUCH I never would have been able to otherwise.
You're awesome, thank you!
Nice. I think I've missed all of this except for the cow.
4:50 I think this music also appears after Shepard is denied being a Spector in ME1, after the conversation with Saren or at least a version of it does.
I got the bit with Jonah'Hazt when I first played ME3. My heart broke for him, poor lad.
So Jenkins died so I can hook up with The Consort and Kahoku died cause of it got it
That's a good funny Mars Rover touch on the game when was a fun Male Engineer Shepard for the game for myself when I was playing the original trilogy for me
I'm surprised the secret romance between Nassana Dantius and Engineer Adams wasn't discussed. It's estimated that only 0.3 percent of all players discover it.
I had 7,400+ war asset score in LE3 and still got that Jack slide, so I'm pretty sure you get it every time you recruit the Grissom students to the front line
Engineer was the very first class I ever played, so when I got that interrupt on Omega, I had no idea I was seeing something unique 😅
There was one detail i discovered in my sixth me2 playthrough. The windows on the Normandy bridge can be manually closed and opened with a button on the top.
it took you that long to find out?
@@JAYDOG1337A I'm pretty meticulous when it comes to searching for hidden secrets. Even I don't understand how I missed this one.
Another strange musical connection I noticed in ME1: the music that plays in the aftermath of Virmire is the same as the music that plays during the romance scene before Ilos.
You know it would be really cool if they made Jonah into a squad-mate in the next mass effect game. I doubt he will but it's a cool thought.
I just noticed you see advertisements for sanctuary on the Mars archives monitors. I had no idea it was referenced to so early in ME3.
how on earth, i didnt realize that mordin had a face tattoo, oh my days
Hope you’re Enjoying Elden Ring bro, Absolutely LOVE THE CONTENT been watching since I downloaded the mass effect legendary edition about 3-4 months ago
I always play engineer, so I never knew that that omega choice was class specific, I play engineer because you deploy the combat drone and the turret together , so it's like having two extra squad mates
On my second playthrough of the Legendary Edition of the Trilogy, I played Engineer for the first time. Using the turret and drone in tandem to force enemies out of cover is a blast, especially when I'm armed with a shotgun that will down a lot of enemies in just one or two shots.
I'm about to start ME2 today. Please tell me the combat is better than ME1.
@@mykelmellen2378 It depends on your preferences. If you like RPG elements like altering your weapons performance and changing out various sets of armor and tech or biotic amps, it's a step down. But if you wanted it to be smoother and feel more like an action shooter like Gears of War, then you're in luck. The combat is simplified but feels better in ME2 compared to ME1. ME3 has the best combat in the trilogy though, because it incorporates the best elements of both of the previous two games.
@@MoostachedSaiyanPrince I didn't mind poke around menus and keeping the squad updated on the best gear, but the gunplay just felt like a chore rather than fun. Especially when you have Geth and Saren jumping around the walls and ceilings of an arena. 🤮
@@mykelmellen2378 Yeah, those jumping enemies were a mistake IMO. I'm pretty sure they don't return though, so if that's your biggest gripe then you should be fine. Like I said, the combat feels more action focused than RPG focused, so if that's your preference, then you'll enjoy the combat in ME2 a lot more. Because they stripped away most of the RPG elements from ME1. You can upgrade your squad powers, which you have far fewer of, and pick between about two or three weapons of each type, and which type you can use at all is determined by your class. And that's about it.
@@MoostachedSaiyanPrince as long as the story and dialogue systems are as on point as the first game, I'll survive.
The convo with the Frontiers rep, yes, somebody in another vid pointed that out about her daughters. or maybe I finally realized it when I reached that point in my attempt to do a Legendary Ed play-thru. It was an interesting bit of in-game lore. I think I did the run directly to the beacon thing in my first game, hoping I'd get a chance to loot all the obvious loot stations afterwards, and when I didn't get to, I made sure that every time I've gone there since I loot, then check the beacon. But I've missed that view and convo. I think I once did the exploration that gets you the Mars rover and saw it, that looked familiar. And yes, that thieving "cow". Somebody must have put in too many hours without enough coffee. :D
Engineer is and always was my favorite. Overload for shields, Ingite for Armor, it was great
Point 5 - The musical connection- the connection is Death. Jenkins and Adm. Kahoku die, and sexual release is often referred to as "the little death".
I’m sure I had max assets, but I got that Jack slide at the end anyway.
That would have been cool if the middle option tried to reference your class when it was going neutral. But that would be so much more dialogue!
I wish there were other scenarios like in the Omega DLC that would allow any class to get a unique outcome through out ME3
You know I'm so close not to cry while watching the recording where the Jonah's mom is killed by Geth.
4:45 the same track is reused in ME3 when Thane dies, and in a couple other places i cant remember but i SWEAR i can see the image of shepard bowing their head down in anguish to that song
I had no idea about the Mars rover Easter egg. Per Jack's ending slide: if you encourage her students to "embrace" their power and be Frontline strike units, they die. Make them support and they live, regardless of your galactic score.
I've never gotten the eden prime cutscene and I always walk past the location that's supposed to trigger it according to this, so I have to wonder if it got added in later editions of the game...
7:33. I think you have to walk past the dish arrays in a certain pattern to trigger it. I too was unable to trigger it.
Where is that dragon age video
Which one?
Thank you Dan, I did not know Jack's students would survive front line service if your war assets are high. (?)
Omg the Shifty Looking Cow just made my day!!!! Had me laughing a good five minutes!
This begs one serious question though: What did Sir Shifty do with all the credits?
To this day i still have no clue how to romance the consort lol
Another fun thing you might have missed, the shifty cow is on the scoreboard in the citadel dlc in me3
Great video Big Dan! Fun stuff to look out for.
Admiral put a whole new meaning to "Hackett Out"
I never noticed the tattoo or the music. I did get the ME1 cut scene once on one of my old playthroughs though and just assumed it was because I was only on my second playthrough so had just missed it first time. This is why I look in every corner of a level no matter how stupid it seems. You never know.
08:12 Wow... I always lost that one! Thanks 👍
Wait a sec you can hook up with the Consort? I only knew of her giving that prothean orb if you help her with the turian general and elcor diplomat
Dan: What do Jenkins, Kahoku, and the Asari Consort have in common?
Me: They got screwed?
I'm still kicking myself for never having found that little cutscene on Eden Prime. I always look around every level, I don't know how I never managed to find that one.
Have you ever thought about if there's a different dialogue when speaking with Padok Wiks about the purpose of the Reapers if we end a Leviathan DLC before the conversation happens? After all, after the DLC we should know the origin of the Reapers, maybe there's a dialogue option to enlighten a salarian scientist?
Damn cow.. it got me once... Miss you streaming Dan!
I'm wondering, have you ever discussed that one song track from Mass Effect 1 when you go into like side missions in labs? It's like creepy ambiance music, you could hear it in the background during the Kahoku mission. Apparently it's not in the Mass Effect soundtrack? At least that's what I've read and I never hear it in the soundtrack uploaded to youtube.
Have you done a video with all three class specific choices and actions?
I’ve seen most of this in the original, I mean, besides the Hackett one. Now I have to go back to both ME3s to see if the rover activates!
I got the Jack ending slide with high war assets.
Awesome video! Thank You! Why do the original and some of the remastered Shepards have the *I'm bat shit crazy* eyes?? It's like they all just escaped from Crazy Town...... ..........The Nut Hut!!!
Last isnt with just low EMP i got shep survived and this slide. I belive this is just where you send them. Barrier = live, front = die.
