I LOVE this channel! It makes me feel like all these institutions and factions exist in reality. Moreover, the voice, the intonation and the narration is on point. Larissa Thompson is doing an amazing job! Please never leave The Templin Institute!
Though humanity is imperfect the Systems Alliance seems to be one of the few Space Age governments in fiction that is not only stable but very effective at what it does. It appears the government got that way by avoiding the bureaucracy of Earth, it is like a colonial government that managed to become so efficient it was granted control of the home country. Though the Alliance is in no way perfect, it is an interesting positive view on what a future human government could be. It plays to humanities strengths which is rarely considered in a government.
.... you do realize that the US has 2 house for legislation, the house of representatives ( represents population of a state, hence why California has 30+ representatives, and Kansas has 1 ) and the senate ( represents the states interest, all states have 2) . the senate is what you are basically talking about. america is failing because people are failing and have been failing to understand that there are things that the federal government should not do, that can be done on a state level. social security, medicare, the national high way and a number of others that all belong on this list. corruption is easier to deal with in the state government than it is in the federal government. the founding fathers mistake was not clarifying that powers need to be clearly divided between the states and federal government otherwise you have what america has turned into.
Atlas i lile to think they even in the 22nd century still refuse to cooperate and they just left them centuries behind in technology. Like playing Civilization or something
And that is why I love the original Mass Effect series, the lore is so good and just fits together so well, it just works, amazing writing on Bioware’s behalf
Your right I apologise, Reapers are heartless machines that devour all advanced civilized life to turn them into another gigantic machine that destroys all civilized life. EA do all that except their end product looks crap, it's buggy as hell and you need to pay for it in parts.
The Mass Effect trilogy was epic tale set in an unforgettable universe, with characters that will last the ages. Concluding with one of the greatest galactic space battles in Sci-fi history. Whether you liked the ending or just like to complain. Mass Effect will always be remembered throughout history as one of the best and most memorable games of the early 21st century.
I love the small tidbit that the humans are the first race since the Krogans to effectively fight and even beat Turian forces, thus earning their respect. Mass Effect is a masterpiece.
"These forces are not expected to defeat any potential invasion on their own, but rather to provide intelligence and reconnaissance on enemy movements, in preparation for an overwhelming counter attack." "This strategy is indicative of the Alliances overall doctrine, which emphasis' mobility and individual initiative in support of coordinated maneuver warfare." "On the offensive, Alliance units will instead bypass enemy strong points in favor of disrupting supply lines and logistics, and destroying headquarters and support units in an effort to keep the opposing force perpetually off balance." Templin Institute knows how to properly win wars.
In modern warfare (not the game), it's not about size or strength of armed forces, but gathering intelligence on enemy forces and figuring out how to cause the most damage with the least resources spent.
Hey folks! If you haven't already be sure to join us on Discord (discord.gg/Ct9mEAq ) and on Twitch (www.twitch.tv/templininstitute ) as we prepare for our first livestream on the 17th, all counting down to the launch of our Patreon!
I love how treaty of Pharazan (hope I spelled that right) is like treaty of London, where the number of Battleships other nations could have was based on the British after WW1 , and it's also interesting how The Alliance circumnavigated it the same way Japanese did in interwar period, by building carriers.
indeed ME is sadly dead. MEA is mass effect only in name. Developers shitted on the entire trilogy lore, thus they effectively seperated MEA from the trilogy's universe.
Beautifully done! Actually learned a few things, specifically the carrier part, that I didnt know before and Mass Effect is one of my favorite things ever!!
"Immense peacekeeping potential". Now there's an amazing phrase. I can just imagine that being used by an armament contractor who's doing a sales pitch for a new type of drone or something.
I like how you researched so in depth to make this episode.The attention to detail and using real theory makes this stand out far beyond other channels.
I love the fact that Humanity in the Mass Effect universe made use of everything that we had to offer to rise in the Galactic Community, we manage to get around limits, and play the political game better than most other species, I mean literally the Turians were from the best warriors in the galaxy, and Humans took them on and even managed to give the Turians trouble, we basically are not so constricted by specific things that our society is based around, if you think about it, the Turians are mostly good warriors, Salarians are great scientists, and Asari tend to be great diplomats, but the diverse range of humans are able to fulfill very much all those roles, basically Humanity is the master of all trades, while other species within Mass Effect are the species which realistically is the most culturally advanced, the other species are good at all the other trades but we humans groom ourselves to be specific things, while the core of Turian Civilization is military service which ends up meaning that their leaders are officers and soldiers first more than scientists or diplomats, the Asari are specialists at subterfuge and Diplomacy, but tend to overrely on their biotics, the Salarians are the ones I would say Humanity would not be able to defeat, since Salarian Special Forces probably would figure out a way to defeat us without much effort.
These videos are a fantastic archive of governments, factions etc in terms of presentation and research. Guess it helps that there are so many groups that you can use for videos that it leaves the door open for so many great ideas. Personally there are two the come to mind The Judges from the Judge Dredd comics The Principality of Zeon from the Gundam franchise.
This video makes me want a Mass Effect prequel game on the First Contact War and the Skylian Blitz so bad. Imagine playing as a defender on world having to hold out until the Systems Alliance fleet comes in full force? That would've been incredible!
Slaanesh the Prince of Pleasure there is very little info on Pre-fall Eldar that most of the video would be speculation and guessing and I don't think the Institute deals in speculations, but Craftworld, Dark Eldar and the new kids could be covered
Fantastic video really well told! Love it! I don't know if you have done any videos about Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda yet but if not videos about The Highguard, Systems Commonwealth or any really from that universe would be amazing. Keep up the great work!
Good Job as always guys, for some reason this one seemed more inspirational and with more motivation it made my skin rise up and now I wanna play mass effect again. Thank you guys at the templin Institute for making these factions come alive. And making people realize how much fun the game and the factions in these games are as well.
Fantastic vid as always! Anyway could you do one on the GDI from command and conquer? Also can you do a video on the Kaiserreich which is from a mod for Hearts of Iron. It might not really be your thing but i'd be happy if you could check em out
Vex even though I'd love to see more about the Foundation, I also think that videos like these don't quite work with it because there isn't an established canon. It's even one of the premises on the website. This said I'd love them to have a go at it
I would love it if Bioware did a thing like this: 2017 - Mass Effect: Destruction 2019 - Mass Effect: Command 2021 - Mass Effect: Synthesize 2024 - Mass Effect: Destruction 2... ... 2030 - Mass Effect: D3. Just make a trilogy for each of the game endings. They could have milked ME more than Nintendo milks Pokemon, because instead of doing double releases, they could have done triple. Andromeda suffered because it put a small amount of lore into a container, took it to another country, then tipped it out on some guy's lawn. It could have been done well, but making 3 sequels to ME3 would have been way safer. And it would have been easy to make too. Just keep the engine the same across all three and call it "Mass Effect Fours", and the "Mass Effect Fives", etc. Tell people not to play the other ones and you could even get away with using similar plot lines, then when you get called out by fans, tell them that Mass Effect 4 is one game of three timelines, and timelines don't 100% diverge, there's going to be similarities and you were warned to only play one. But it's too late now.
More like an Archive like in the Foundation. Created to preserve all known information so that should a civilization fail, at least you dont reset to the stone age, reducing the time needed for recovery.
Negative Zero Uh... If Marauder Shields succeed in stopping Shepard, we would get the equivalent of a refusal ending. That doesn’t make sense. He’s no hero.
You misunderstand him, he didn't try to create a new ending. He knew it was better to try and make the player rage quit from all the reloaded saves than to deal with the grief of the actual ending.
Negative Zero Well I didn’t have any grief. I got the Extended Cut where the relays are fixed and my love interest is going to reunite with me. And before you bring up the whole Geth/EDI debacle, EDI told me herself she was willing to die if it were necessary. Plus when you put the words “David Archer” and “Reincarnation” into the mix, you have a spectacular ending if you have the capacity to use at least some imagination. Marauder Shields can burn in Hell where he belongs.
I randomly found your channel the past couple of days ago and fell in love with all the narration and well scripted and great presentation. You got yourself a subscriber. If you don't mind can I request one of the nation's from The Front Mission universe
Nice move to avoid the ending controversy. Impressive video especially given how little there is on the Alliance as a whole told in the canon. Coming up with new suggestions for future videos. How about a video on Dead Space factions as a bit of a tribute? A video on the Destiny aliens would be lengthy especially the Hive. Or the Nazis from the new Wolfenstein games?
I love the videos from the Templin Institute. Some suggestions for future videos: Graystone Industries (Caprica) Narn Regime (Babylon 5) Earthforce (Babylon 5) Centari Republic (Babylon 5) Settlement Defense Front (Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare) CELL (Crysis)
I agree with several suggestions on selections from the starcraft saga...the zerg swarm, protoss, and human confederation/terran empire. All would offer great selections.
Some guy in another Templin Institute video said that he doesn’t like the systems alliance symbol because it only displays one hemisphere of the earth, making the countries on that hemisphere feel more important than others. But I always thought of it like countries are not a big thing on earth anymore, all of humanity is united under the systems alliance. As such they all recognize the planet earth as a symbol. There is no need to worry about some countries being left out of the symbol because this symbol represents humanity. They are all united as one earth and one race, one planet
This one really made me giddy while watching I love the lore of mass effect so much. What I'm actually curious about is some of the videos of space combat though. It seemed like some fan made stuff as well as official cutscenes but perhaps I'm mistaken. If it is stuff that other people created I'd love to see them cause the space battles in mass effect are beautiful, fan made or official.
Ah, yes. The Templin Institute. We have dismissed those claims.
You forgot the air quotes.
@@Banchoking as I recall templin said that the name "system Aliance" was a unbelievable choice because no species would name their nation after stars
@@Banchoking Ah yes "Forgot", a state that you can't recall a fact from your brain. We have dismissed that claim.
If there was any reason to be concerned, then why have we not heard of this… Templin Institute is it?… before now?
@@SergioBocanegraThe Systems Alliance started as an International Organization and after the First Contact War became the Human Government.

indeed. them doing mass effect is great
Thumb Man well if the concept of the multiverse is real then who knows? Maybe they might really exist somewhere out there after all.
I don't believe at all in the multiverse theory, but the thought is nice though. Still, it's good some of these things don't exists in real life. :-)

Corrupted Archangel + Atlas Man what you guys said is like a dream for all of us and like you said i really wish:)

Eden Prime, never forget.
seems similar as razgriz, right?
Eden Prime sounds like something from Fallout ngl
And that is why I love the original Mass Effect series, the lore is so good and just fits together so well, it just works, amazing writing on Bioware’s behalf
Its a shame the Bioware today is not the bioware we all knew 10 years ago. Just a husk being controlled by EA.
EA - the true reapers
Hey, that's offensive for those poor Reapers man! They are better than this!
Your right I apologise, Reapers are heartless machines that devour all advanced civilized life to turn them into another gigantic machine that destroys all civilized life. EA do all that except their end product looks crap, it's buggy as hell and you need to pay for it in parts.

I kinda teared up a bit at the end.
4:05 this line is so well crafted and narrated it draws me back to the video
No matter how many times I rewatch this, the goosebumps keep coming back. Absolutely love this!!!!
I never want these videos to stop. I legit always get goose bumps when ever I watch them
I on the verge of tears, after hearing a story that I grew up with. Remember Earth, Believe in the Shepherd. Join the fight.
God, I'd really wish I could remove all the memories I have with this game just to be able to experience it for the first time again.
So many of these vids of factions I am familiar with coupled with heroic music makes me well with pride. Keep up the awesome work

This channel feels like somekind of advanced AI that is analyzing it’s potential enemy’s looking to exploit their weaknesses in the coming invasion :D

But I always thought of it like countries are not a big thing on earth anymore, all of humanity is united under the systems alliance. As such they all recognize the planet earth as a symbol. There is no need to worry about some countries being left out of the symbol because this symbol represents humanity. They are all united as one earth and one race, one planet
i've been trying to avoid re downloading and playing the entire series again but i love mass effect so much
Thank you. This was the closure I needed from both ME3 and the series as a whole.
I am in your debt. Subscribe and like is too little.
Wow okay, this made me cry. Great job!
This one really made me giddy while watching I love the lore of mass effect so much. What I'm actually curious about is some of the videos of space combat though. It seemed like some fan made stuff as well as official cutscenes but perhaps I'm mistaken. If it is stuff that other people created I'd love to see them cause the space battles in mass effect are beautiful, fan made or official.
