The replayability of the trilogy just to try out different combinations of squadmates is incredible. I have played through the trilogy at least 8 times and still haven't seen all the variations. That is another reason I love videos like this. Great job as always my friend, your content is top notch.
I like the Liara and Garrus banter when the Yaagh breaks free. Shepard: There goes the next shadow broker. Garrus: I could have sworn i heard him mention T'soni by name (or something similar) Liara: Not funny!
I personally brought Javik everywhere because i thought it most interesting to hear about comparisons to prothean society than random banter. So Javik and one of the nerds depending on the mission.
For my Sentinel insanity playthrough, my favourite pick was Garrus+Liara. Garrus provides great firepower with the N7 Typhoon and has great banter, while Liara provides singularity for biotic combos. With them together, enemies barely had a chance to even fire a single shot. Occasionally I would also take out Tali, Javik, EDI and Kaiden, but I pretty much never took out James as he's just a walking exposition for new players.
Can you do a video on What Happens if you Bring Javik to the Attican Traverse: Krogan Team mission; due to him dropping lore about how in his cycle the Protheans used the Rachni as weapons before they turned against them during the shuttle ride and mentions that he recognises Grunt from touching his room. I just find that Javik has the most interesting comments on the Attican Traverse mission but there’s no videos about it. (Plus Garrus too due to his proud comments about Grunt growing up).
I can understand people not picking Javik or EDI as much, everyone has the right to play in the manner they see fit. However I personally believe you should be tarred and feathered for starting a game with Wrex dead. That is just inexcusable lol
You'd be surprised how many people who played ME2/3 never played ME1, in which case Wrex is dead by default. Of course they lose half the plot and then say the game is overrated.
I don't use EDI that much myself, but with her skill set I'm surprised that she's one of the least picked squadmate. She's perfectly capable of stripping shields/barriers, has anti-armor capability, can distract enemy with decoy, can tank with def matrix, can proc ammo effects with smg. That's an all in one right there.
May I ask you a question : I have never tried insanity (coz I have seen people complaining) that it is so hard that it takes the fun out of the game? I have been playing hardcore only. Is the difficulty bump on insanity enjoyable or frustrating?
@@Jedi_Spartan Bro I love Garrus (no homo) but I do not like completely relying on my teammates fighting my own battle. If garrus does all the fighting and killing I just take potshots from the cover, then whats the point of playing? I enjoyed the bump from normal to hardcore but not sure about insanity. Thats what I was asking gameplaywise. (I always play infiltrator)
I'm doing a run atm with Javik coming along for the big main missions plus some side missions.He has some unique lines but he just complains majority of the time. Or telling you what you should do/did. In the field or in his room. I like him but damn dude.
I literally just finished this mission a few minutes ago before calling in my break. I brought Garrus and Javik with me personally. Watching Garrus and Wrex be bros was a true treat, and Javik added his own share of iconic moments.
I perma take javik and edi on all missions as soon as they are available. Edi provides the raw stats and intelligence while javik is a walking history book. So much information
Least picked? Damn. EDI has always been a must bring teammate on most of my squads, and Javik definitely made it out on quite a few across my playthroughs
The major bummer in me 2 and 3 is having Tali available only midway through the game. It'd been nice having her input in missions from the first half of the games
EDI comes in pretty handy when you're fighting against Geth and she and Tali make a formidable duo against them. If your Shep is an Adept with Morinth's Dominate ability that threesome is virtually unstoppable in any fight.
On a slightly unrelated note I love the differences between Wreav and Wrex. Wreav doesn't know or trust Shepard and see's the females as property whereas Wrex Trusts Shepard but doesn't want to get Mordin in trouble and clearly respects the females.
Kaidan has amazing abilities. Overload and Reave! Plus he is a tank lots of health. Same as Miranda in ME2. Overload and Warp. You can't ask for a better combination
I understand people not picking Javik. Any time I go to his quarters, I hear “You shouldn’t have cured the genophage/made peace between geth and quarians/ YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE TO…” He s basically whining all the time. Yes, O understand, he’s a soldier, but CMON.
If you look at his background and how different his cycle was, he doesn't scream. It simply stands for the view that anyone born in war and seen their civilization go under would probably have been. win at any price (sry for the bad english xD )
@@vh3914 If you talk to Javik, you'll see why he is the way he is. I had my issue ME3 but Javik was one of the best parts of the game. His comments on Thessia was worth the price of admission alone.
I'm doing a Mass Effect Legendary Edition playthrough on my Series X. I'm currently in ME 3 with over 5,000 war assets and I have maybe used Edi three times. I brought Garus and Javik on this mission.
@@Almighty_cornholio I certainly did and yes, I was damn lucky. The only reason I got my hands on one was my GameStop did all of their preorders and pick-up's in store. Oh and I love your name! I am Cornholio and I need TP for my bung hole! Fire, fire fire!
Javik was one of the least picked? When I played ME3 for the first time and the DLC for him was included, I got him as soon as the game allowed me to. Never played a mission without him since. You’d think people would enjoy having a real Prothean that survived for so long on their team.
Ikr. Javik was basically always with me on my first playthrough. I mean, we got a goddamn Prothean in our squad. Don't you want to hear what he has to say? I sure did. He's a completely unique entity to this cycle and basically a walking history book.
Imagine the Krogen having a Vulcan like awakening, and their emotional intelligence increased. You could have a nearly unstoppable force with high moral, and ethical standards.
Hope's not a winning strategy, but it's what keeps the men fighting until the winning strategy arrives ;7 How did Hackett put it again ? "You can pay a man to fight. You can pay them to charge a hill or invest a bunker. You can't pay a man to believe that victory's possible"
No you just come up with an actual strategy, in this case actually doing something to keep the Krogan from conquering the galaxy rather than just hoping they won't. Tolan is a tool but he has a valid point. The krogan are highly aggressive and there is a very good chance than if they see the oportunity to take over the galaxy they will take it. Wrex is an unusually level headed krogan and he has to literally beat sense into others krogan leaders to keep them in line, but there is no guarantee he'll remain in charge and even if he does he's not going to live forever. In ME3 he galaxy desperately needs the help of the krogan and that's the motivation for curing the genophage, but it certainly does have its risks and could very well backfire. There is some naive optimism to the idea that the krogans have learned their lesson and are now "civilized" and will never be a threat again.
It seems that this mission was designed to have both Garrus and Javik as your squadmates, though I do like some of EDIs responses, you also get interaction between both Garrus and Wrex.
Javik made me LOL when he referred to the Salarians as "The lizard people" who "Used to eat flies" and "I'm surrounded by primitives." I understand, Javik. Believe me. ;)
im not planning to switch to LE edition bcs of nexus mods,The EGM mod,Happy ending and many more that makes game alive,like adding more NPCS in citadel and the Empty rooms are full with npcs
Wrex: *Correctly surmises that the Salarians are listening in* Shepard and EDI 5 minutes later: "Hey everyone, Liara T'Soni is the shadow broker! Yeah, that's T'Soni T-S-O-N-I super duper secret though that she's The Shadow Broker! Good job we never talk about it loudly at a literal listening post built by a species known for clandestine operations and eavesdropping!"
Wrex: Makes Salarian eating joke
Salarian: >:(
Javik: Backs it up
Salarian: o_o
Joke? Where's the joke?
Javik backs it up? I brought Garrus cause he definitely backs it up. Plus it just has the OG chemistry vibes
🤣
Wrex: "I prefer my Salarian livers served raw, hehe!"
Salarians: 😠😠😠
Javik "He is correct. It was a delicacy in our cycle."
Salarians: 😥😥😥
I love how Mordin is like "a prothean, excellent" not even surprised
Same. He just sees a member of a master species thought extinct and casually accepts it.
I always assumed with his mind, he was able to recognize javik as a prothean by deducing the way he looks compared to the collectors

No, no she was not amused on my playthrough.
I still prefer the first hand version...
Garrus: "Could've sworn he was muttering T'Soni the whole time."
Liara: "Not funny."
@@Jedi_Spartan That's the team I had with me on my last playthrough, and I was cracking up through the entire battle.

Which makes sense since Liara is the current Shadow Broker
Who is not picking Javik? A pissed off Biotic avatar of vengeance, who always has cool things to say? He’s with me on just about every Reaper mission.

Wait, Javik is one of the least picked? He's my second most picked after Garrus
Exactly, I usually roll with either Garrus and Javik or Garrus and EDI. I can't go out without a squadmate that has overload.
I think that early on people stick to the squadmates they already know and take Javik on side missions
Remember Javik is a Day One DLC character. Some people have never played any of the DLC.
Yeah, lots of people stick to Garrus & Liara and older squadmates
@@MrHulthen Liara is one of my least used xD

I like the Liara and Garrus banter when the Yaagh breaks free.
Shepard: There goes the next shadow broker.
Garrus: I could have sworn i heard him mention T'soni by name (or something similar)
Liara: Not funny!
A yaugh I thought that thing was some naked krogen cause we never see them without armor
I personally brought Javik everywhere because i thought it most interesting to hear about comparisons to prothean society than random banter. So Javik and one of the nerds depending on the mission.
I'm all Liara and EDI as a sentinel on insanity difficulty. We wreck.
I appreciate these alternate conversations you throw in!
For my Sentinel insanity playthrough, my favourite pick was Garrus+Liara. Garrus provides great firepower with the N7 Typhoon and has great banter, while Liara provides singularity for biotic combos. With them together, enemies barely had a chance to even fire a single shot.
Occasionally I would also take out Tali, Javik, EDI and Kaiden, but I pretty much never took out James as he's just a walking exposition for new players.
I'm surprised EDI is one of the least picked, I love her.
I think the best combination for this mission is Liara and Garrus simply due to the shadow broker joke.
Especially because I bring Garrus to the Shadow Broker Lair lol
"YOU'RE NOT SETTING FOOT ON SUR'KE--"

Dang, EDI and Javik are brutal!!! I feel like I have to go back some saves just to have them a squad mates for this mission!

Lol glad I didn't have to deal with Talon asshole nature cause Kirrahe was still alive.
I love Javik and Kirahe interaction. It’s one of the few moments when Javik sounds genuinely confused/lost.

Least picked? Damn. EDI has always been a must bring teammate on most of my squads, and Javik definitely made it out on quite a few across my playthroughs
Never played the DLCs, but now that I unlocked Javik Im having him in a lot of my missions! He is an interesting character for sure
The major bummer in me 2 and 3 is having Tali available only midway through the game. It'd been nice having her input in missions from the first half of the games
There is talk dialogue for early game in 2 as she was locked to mid to late game late in development
EDI is one of my mains!
EDI comes in pretty handy when you're fighting against Geth and she and Tali make a formidable duo against them. If your Shep is an Adept with Morinth's Dominate ability that threesome is virtually unstoppable in any fight.
