I’ve been on a real Mass Effect 2 kick lately. Though I typically lean renegade when I play the Trilogy, my latest run was a paragon one. So I figured what better time to talk about the best paragon moments we experienced while fighting the Collectors.
For the purposes of this video, I’m defining legendary paragon moments as the most feelgood and memorable paragon actions Shepard can take in Mass Effect 2. This list is in no particular order.
There are many great paragon moments in the game, so if your favorite didn’t make the list, lemme know what it is in the comments section below. - Ігри
The sick krogan bit is even better when you've got Tali in the party.
Shephard: "I said a badass. Not some scout whining like a quarian with a tummy ache."
Tali: "I'm standing right here!"
I often take Tali along on this mission specifically for this reason.
I think it should be mandatory to take Tali on this mission just for her comment.
Taking her along when you're dealing with the racist Volus is comedy gold. "My brain agrees with you. My gut says I should jack his suit's olfactory filters so that everything smells like refuse!"
@@LegallyBlindGamer7926
And then Garrus says "Remind me never get on your bad side."
@@LegallyBlindGamer7926 Yeah that is gold too. Have her along a lot anyway. Often with Garrus.
Saving David from project overlord will always be one of the best paragon moments in the series
I could never hand him over to Cerberus... not once, not even on my renegade playthroughs.
The music during that whole scene just perfect that moment 👌🏻
Especially when you get to pistol whip his mad scientist wannabe of a brother
not "one of the best" but "the best"
@@kraze_x9 one of the few times- or maybe even only time- i can think of where the paragon option is to assault someone. fuck gavin archer
"I'm sorry I'm having trouble hearing you. I'm getting a lot of bullshit on this line."
I love Shepard
I laughed way too hard at this. I can't believe I never heard him or her say this line.
This isn't even gold, it's platinum!
Never liked TIM, and letting him have it is absolutely satisfying.
Unfortunately the repercussions of this decision are never truly resolved in ME3 (like, if you are playing the Omega DLC, how is Cerberus able to conduct their experiments beyond the Omega-4 relay even though the Collector Base has been blown to pieces?) and leaves some open ends and a lot of fridge logic.
@@Robidu1973
Shepard is created with help of reaper tech made it possible for shepard to integrate with the reapers that the destruction of the laboratory was only symbolic.
Shepard is against technology, Shepard is thinking like a reaper by now that humanity is too dangerous that Cerberus as example could be how the reapers see aliens. TIM may been right all this time while shepard is the reaper who say to humanity to not interfere with their plans to pacify the galaxy by eliminate all species with technology they don't want them to have. You can't be polarizing and excluding people in the fight against evil. That's why even if we think we made much difference we may as well made it worse by stopping forces from fighting using what resources they got since when the dust settle someone will be taking the power vacuum and the reapers tech or not won't change it.
blowing up the collector base feels 2000% better if Miranda is in your party during the final battle. she basically tells TIM to get bent lol
"Consider this my resignation."
Unrelated, but i just realized that all the comments saying TIM mean acronyms for the illusive man. I just thought their was some inside joke I didn t understand.
@@henrebasson5326 I was the same way until someone told me.
Ok every time i play renegade shepard i always ALWAYS hug tali upon discovering her father
I may be a tyrant but never a monster
That and saving David from Overlord.
@@sandrogamer30018 indeed now get back to the female camp and stop whinging like a quarion with a tummy ache
EDIT: just saw your profile pic and now i feel awkward typing that reply
@@soulfragments162 Tali: "I'm standing right here!!!" That got me rolling on the ground.
@@sandrogamer30018 hahahaha also where you find your profile pic asking for a friend
Edit: my friend is a "HARDCORE TALI FAN"
EDIT 2: ill sub think we'll make good friends
@@soulfragments162 On a facebook group, if you want I can send it to you on facebook or twitter.
This one is a minor one but I really love the paragon option when talking to Khalisah Bint Sinan al-Jilani. Shepard recites names of every Alliance cruiser that were lost saving the Council and how their death shouldn't be used for anyone's agenda. That was top notch moment for me.
Easily one of the best character moments for Paragon Shepard in the whole trilogy, imo.
@@sarahj7507 Agreed
*The* Paragon moment imo.
"Commander Shepard. The first human Spectre. Hero of the battle of the Citadel."
Ever since Legendary Edition got announced I've been on a Mass Effect high. Your channel is one of the best finds.
i’ve played through the trilogy 6 or 7 times, honestly probably well more that many times, since they’ve announced legendary edition
@@christianoperez8224 oh dude save some for the Legendary Edition
Yeah man, I agree! I'm so excited for the trilogy next month! Big Dan will have so much content to go off of too. Comparing both versions of the game, changes, etc.
This month can’t go by fast enough
*your
Saving the sick Batarian in the quarantine zone is a major one for me. Batarian: You ... You helped me. Why? Shepard: It's what I do.
I like that one too! But then I go steal the dead batarian's money.
@@TomSuntotheMax I think most of us do that anyway. Hey, it's going towards saving the galaxy!
You saved me, why?
Mmmm, Batarian
That's probably my all-time favorite. Amid all of Paragon Shep's noble decisions, this one shows the most humanity. I think that's the most important thing about it. Cheesey levity aside.
@@Juiceboxhero9001mmmmmm monkey
I’m commander Shepard, and this is my favorite channel on UA-cam.
the templin institute got that for twitch
I like the one where Shepard stands up for the quarian on the Citadel when the officer and volus were being assholes to her.
Isn’t that ME3?
"I'm sorry, I'm having trouble hearing you. I'm getting a lot of Bullshit on this line"
One of my favorite quotes in the whole damn game. 🤣
My favourite moment will forever be pushing over Niftu "biotic god" Cal 🤣
Wait. Doesn't he take the "lead"? Oh wrong video.😂🤣🙃
@@Duelli75 he can but that's just wrong
@@dominicvucic8654wrong, it’s hilarious
+1 for saving David from Project Overlord, also really liked the morality argument with Mordin on Tuchunka about the Genophage as you see that the decision affected him much more than he led on in initial discussions.
7) Stopping Jack from tearing Miranda a new asshole. Jack and Samara are the two most powerful biotics in Mass Effect 2 and arguably the whole trilogy. Jack almost single handedly destroyed Purgatory. Only she and Samara can handle the biotic field portion of the suicide mission. Miranda collapses before you reach the end of the tunnel. I'm not a Miranda hater. I'm just telling you which way the wind is blowing.
To think her father spent a fortune making her
she's a perfect human
imperfect perfect biotic
jack is imperfect human
perfect biotic
Looking at the rest of the game one starts to wonder if Jack can only beat a YMIR-Mech in the editing room. She is pretty useless when the real action starts. Miranda on the other hand, doesn't cost that much medigel and Samara got her heel on both of 'em.
@@Duelli75 Jack's Heavy Shockwave is one of the most powerful moves in the game. Her warp ammo is effective against any type of enemy. Miranda's warp is pretty powerful but really no different that Thane's or Samara's.
@@DepressionShaman To keep Jack more or less on her feet you need to spec into Improved Shockwave not Heavy Shockwave, this move is only useful to stagger protected enemies. Warp ammo is good, but against a YMIR-Mechs shield? It also doesn't help her poor defense. She is almost as squishy as Mordin but lacks versatility.
One of my favorites is the the Paragon interrupt where you hit Dr. Gavin Archer in Overlord. Shows Paragons can be badass too.
Bringing Miranda on the final mission when you rig the base to blow gives some pretty good dialogue between her and the illusive man.
The "Hug Tali" button will always be the best Paragon moment for me. 💜
Whenever I do that mission, I'm spamming the interrupt button to hug tali.
There needs to be a dedicated "Hug Tali" button in the games at all times. Regardless of alignment or romance.
I don't care how ruthless you can be as Shepard. When she cries, you hug. No exceptions.
@@kratkartan1486 it’s an unwritten rule at this point 🤣 even when talking I don’t have the balls to be rude to her at all! Any1 else. Hell yeah but not my Tali
Honestly? Of all the "this is my favorite store on the Citadel" options, my favorite is Marab's.
You wouldn't believe how often I heard "why are we turning the ship around, we're only halfway there?"
It's nice to see the attention to detail in general (turn around to decelerate at the halfway point) as well as the frustration a spacer would feel having to explain basic physics to people less familiar with spaceflight.
You use the Paragon moment sending the krogan back to Clan Urdnot, but without Tali getting offended by the "Quarian with a tummy ache" line. -1 point.
"i'm standing right here"
yeah Shepards smirk is exactly the same expression that most of us had after we blow the collector base just to piss him off xD
I was wearing the death mask and didn't get to see it. F.
All I can hear each time I save the Normandy crew is: “No one harms my Doctor Chocolates....”
Thanks, Manslayer🤣🤣🤣🤣
One of my favorite Paragon moments is the speech check to help Charr (the Krogan Poet) stay with his Asari girlfriend.
They’re such a unique and rare couple and I feel good helping them stay together. It’s romantic and sweet.
Plus, Shepard’s logic in the Paragon speech is really inspiring. I don’t remember exactly what they say but I remember it being basically that if she’s conflicted then he’s worth staying with.
Great stuff for such a minor interaction in the game.
yeah, that couple comes back in ME3
@@user-ts3mw4ve3g Yeah.... sadly it does....
Either you trust what he says, or you don't.
If you do trust him, you don't have anything to worry about.
If you don't, then you've already made your decision.
One of my favorite Paragon interrupts is the one where you defend the quarian on a pilgrimage to the Citadel who is being harassed by a volus who's baselessly accusing her of stealing his credit card and a C-Sec officer who doesn't even try to bother to listen to her side of the story. I hit that interrupt every time, regardless of my chosen alignment.
I've actually never done a renegade run through of any Mass Effect games... I just felt so bad being mean to people I like
It's fun. Beating up people, throwing them through windows...
Paragon on Streets, Renegade on Sheets :P
@@sandrogamer30018 good one
Same here. Sometimes I try going full renegade but I end up shifting back to paragon after a while. It just doesn’t feel right to be an asshole to everyone.
same
"No particular order"
Me: "I swear if I don't see Tali getting hugged on her loyalty mission...."
*Sees video*
YOU'RE GOD DAMN RIGHT!!!!!!
Surprised you didn't include Tali with the sick krogan scene, she'll actually respond to Shepard's comment towards the krogan saying he acts like a quarian with a tummy ache where she'll respond with "I'm standing right here!"
At the end of the game when you blow up collectors base, from when you recruit Tali "infiltrated Cerberus and to blow them up if so i loan you the grenade" i always take her for that reason to keep her to word
One of my favorite Paragon moments was in Lake of the Shadow Broker. "I sacrificed hundreds of human lives to save the Destiny Ascension. I unleashed the rachni on the galaxy. So for your sake I hope your plan doesn't hinge on me hesitating to shoot a damn hostage!"
Sparing Sidonis would have been even better if the plan to have him rescue Garrus’ dad and sister in 3 if he lives hadn’t been cut.
always gets me when the turian says, "no other gunshop has an advertisement like that!"
When Tali said father I was like "Oh, is that your dad? How do you people tell each other apart?"
Different enviroment suits probably, only way to show their individuality
One of my favourite paragon moments in ME2 is when you go to the merc recruiter on Omega and use the paragon interrupt to stop that kid from joining as a freelancer to kill Archangel. I didn’t in my renegade playthrough and boy did I feel bad 😞
I actually have a tattoo of the paragon symbol with words around it that say I won't let fear compromise who I am
Damn. That's awesome.
Ngl that's fucking dope dude
"no other gunshop has this type of endorsement!" - about that, yeah
None of the other stores are gun shops. Its probably why they don't care about you endorsing multiple stores as none of them sell the same stuff.
Consoling Tali is one of my favorite moments. Even as the baddest of renegades you must do that.
Ahh i love Karl Reegar, calls the admirals assholes like its nothing. RIP my friend ill miss you reegar
No joke, my first born child will seriously be named Shepard based off of the meme at 1:40
When Shepard shot that lamp and punched Kolyat...I couldn't help but laugh for some reason 😂
😂😂 yes!
I love Shep's line to TIM when he says something about beating the Reapers without sacrificing the soul of their species.
Not going to lie I didn’t even know you could save Sidonis until I started watching your channel, definitely going to go for that option in the legendary edition, keep up the good work btw great video
I kind of thought all the stores on the Citadel would band together after you endorse all of them. That would be kind of funny if they confronted Shepard later in the game
Number 1 is definitely rescuing David Archer, its such an emotionally draining mission, considering how long it is as well for a side quest you are already exhuasted then you find what they did to him, pistol whipping the brother is the best goddamn feeling.
LotSB Liara romance: "legendary paragon moments spam"
I did the Paragon interrupts as well, even if my Shepards weren't romanced with Liara. :D
@@KritoSkywaker if romancing theres some more beautiful scenes ;)
@@blurmusic.5508
Yep. And some funny remarks, if you romancing someone else other than Liara. :D
@@KritoSkywaker never. never in a single playthrough i did that.. nah. would hurt too much.
@@blurmusic.5508
Well. If I would romance with Liara, same here. But I choosen either nonromance or in my case of Male Shepard, Ashley.
1:54 Yeah... about that.
"HA ha No other shop has that kind of endorsement."
Goes to another shop on the Citadel.
"That son of the bitch"
@@sandrogamer30018 shepard goes to store "i love this store"
Shepard goes to the store across
"HEY EVERYONE THIS SHOP DISCRIMINATES AGAINST THE POOR"
It's funny running around The Citadel afterwards and hearing the ad play at every shop hahaha
Well, he’s right, he’s the only GUN shop with that endorsement.
The Tali scene was perfect it is one of the few moments where the crew faces true hardship and loss and delivery of major character development
There was this one Paragon choice I found in a recent playthrough of Mass Effect 2 that really hit me out of left field. I was talking to Harrot, the Elcor shopkeeper on Omega, and my Paragon option essentially made me threaten to break his legs XD
Shepard's smirk after hanging up on the Illusive man makes that moment so much better.
It’s pretty funny how one of the best renegade moments is also with kolyat after you kill his hostage
Still one of the best lines of the second game. "Hostages only work if your enemy cares if they live"
@@ImMaxi Personally my favorite line in ME2 is from Thane: "The laws are only a protection if everyone agrees to be bound by it, we dont"
@@marpj6138 A great line as well yes.
“Take pictures!”
🤣🤣🤣
Good stuff Dan 👏👍
Miranda anda her sister is beautiful, I love hugging Tali too
I always bring Tali on Mordin's loyalty mission solely for the reaction to the quarian tummy ache line with the sick krogan
Your videos do a fantastic job of hyping me for the legendary edition. (Just preordered mine on steam today.) next month can’t come fast enough.
I always liked the paragon option from zaeeds mission you also save this man from himself that always felt powerful to me
My favorite is stopping Tali from opening fire on Legion during her recruitment mission
but letting her shot him is so much fun: "Frendly fire, taking cover, requesting assistence Shepard Commander"
@@marpj6138 it’s funny, but I still prefer the paragon interrupt because you get to see Shepard defend a geth like he would any organic squad mate and really vow for his team
I've never gotten Legion before Tali. There's only a certain number of missions you can do between getting legion and going through the omega-4 relay before your crew dies
@@DeathGodRiku I think it's three at most so if you want to pull this off and get everyone out alive, you need to a) avoid assigning any non-loyal members as a specialist (sole exception: Miranda as leader of the second fire team - however, still need to confirm) or escort and b) don't take any non-loyal members with you when taking down the base. Instead leave them to hold the door with the rest of the team.
After you have returned (hopefully with the entire crew alive), do the rest of the loyalty missions.
Jesus christ, never thought a pissed quarian could be so intimidating.
ive watched the video about 10 times and it was great i love ur video
srry i meant videos
What ME 2 realy got right where the tension with you decisions. It felt like hella lot of weight to make them.
Love your vids about ME even brought me back to play again. Thanks for that and i should go from Germany.
My dare wish for mass effect 4 gameplay is that we have more "suicide missions". Just 3 or 4 during the campaing would be enough (for the more important millestones) where you assing extra roles to your squadmates, have a secundary team doing their stuff to help you out and the possibility of death in case of bad choices. My first time playing has totally blind and I feel that the decisions matter and only after I finish it I discovered that your squad could die during the mission (my squadmates survived at least, for the crew I only saved the doctor, ops)
@@marpj6138 on my first run i managed to save the crew but i lost Jack and Thane. Geez i was so frustrated but yeah i agree some more weight on a second team or so would be quite nice
1:56 - Yo! So many years and I didnt know you could do that :O
Damn I love this channel.
Epic Renegade moments: *kick a guy through a wall into an explosive cannister*
Epic Paragon moments: *do the right thing*
Sometimes kicking a guy through a wall into an explosive cannister ís the right thing
"Good doesnt have to be always nice"
I don't have a problem with being a Paragon, but I would never stop Garrus from killing somebody he wanted to kill
I always play a weighted mix. Mostly paragon with some renegade choices where I felt like it was appropriate or deserved, and then a renegade with some paragon choices for the truly heinous stuff that I don't wanna do like yelling at Tali.
Convincing Garrus not to kill sidonis is the best thing ive ever learned in a video game.
And a damn scary valuable life lesson
No matter how paragorn your playthrough is, you cant help to shove it to the ilusive man, it feels too good to pass
As someone else already pointed out, if you have Miranda in your party while blowing up the Collector base, you get a bit of extra dialogue.
The Illusive Man: Miranda, do not let Shepard destroy the base!
Miranda: Or what? You'll replace me next?
The Illusive Man: I gave you an order, Miranda!
Miranda: I noticed. Consider this my resignation.
You get the help you deserve....makes me smile every time
ME2 has a special place in my heart, it was the first xbox game I played when I was in high school.
“I’m Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite toilet on the Citadel.”
I love walking into every store in the wards hearing that it's my favourite store lmao
Tali after the trial: "It's fun watching you shout."
9:05 i love this part even better when you bring tali along.
That gun shop owner ALWAYS gets my compliments! He's such a salesman!
And what about Niftu Cal the Biotic God paragon interruption? That one is my favourite - it's even better with Kasumi in team :D
I prefer to take Miranda when destroying the collector base, as that version feels more canon.
In it, right before she hangs up she resigns from Cerberus, which would make her initial interaction in ME3 make more sense as we were witness to her quitting.
That station one, if you bring Miranda and decline giving the base to Cerberus, the Illusive Man tries to convince her to change my mind. And she goes “consider this my resignation”
technicly i find the destruction of the collector base better when you are with miranda because you have the illusive man ordering her around and she quit on the spot , one of the best moment
Jesus Christ, I'm rallying the crowd every time now.
I always go for the Rally the Crowd option in Tali’s mission, even if ive got the paragon points for the other option.
Mine has to be when you talk to the reporter, after you saved the council in ME1 and when she berates you about sacrificing so many to save the council and Shepard lists off that turians also lost their lives, as well as every single human ship that was lost BY NAME. That is the reason I always go paragon with the reporters. It's a bigger punch to their gut and ego than actually hitting them
Thanks.
11:50 you do know miranda is a optional squad member to use on this mission with a additional line where illusive man orders her to stop shepard?
My favorite moment I’ve seen so far is Shepard comforting Tali.
If you bring Miranda to destroy the collector base, there’s a little dialogue between her and the illusive man if you decide to destroy the base. That’s even more legendary 👏🏾
Even though it was sometimes satisfying to hang up on the Citadel Council in Mass Effect 1, not a single instance of those will ever live up to hanging up on The Illusive Man at the end of Mass Effect 2, even as a Paragon.
If you do Garrus’ secret mission in ME1 and have him go the paragon route, you don’t actually get a paragon option to convince him to spare sidonis; since Garrus is more inclined to let it go after hearing the conversation.
At least for me, I don’t need to do two checks and the text is in normal color font rather than blue paragon font.
Edit: you also need to make him doubt himself before meeting sidonis. If you don’t keep urging him to find another way then the font won’t change to blue
Oh hell yes the Paragon Commander Shepard who punchs Kolyat after shooting close to his face
Imagine the Renegade
10:00 When Tali currently in squad were saying " I'm standing right here 😅"
It took me so long to realise that at the end, when you're talking to the Illusive Man, the star behind him is part red, part blue, depending on your Renegade/Paragon score.
i liked the moment when Shepard helps a quorian from false accusations from volus and a cop on the citadel. Or helping to mother whose child was murdered by Morinth on Omega
I love recording the same advertisement for every single store
Finally after so long you finally did it thx alot ps:I'm Eshaan bagha in an different account
ik i’m biased as a thane romancer, but my favorite line has always ‘i’ve taken a lot of bad things out of this world, you were the only good thing i added to it.’
Oh, and dealing with the Biotic God was hilarious, too. "I'll nap. Destroy the universe later." LOL!
I don't recall the same rabble from my paragon Tali options... does this require some renegade options in the past, too?
Whats up Big o/ Mate could you do a video or videos on in what order we should play specyfic quests and when to play specyfic DLCs so it will make most sense from the story point of view. And main game missions order for optimal playtrough (so we will have enaugh time to pass some specyfic checks). Keep up the good work mate i really enjoy those videos. Preparing for my final/ultimate playtrough with Mass Effect Legendary edition.
My personal favorite (maybe in my top 3) is on the citadel when you help a qourin out of trouble with c-sect
I never knew you could get Miranda to talk to her sister
It's been years since I've played the Mass Effect Trilogy. May 14th baby
My fav is the ''i dont need evidence'' option in 2 TALI FTW!!!! Also the sick krogan one with tali with shes like ''Im right here!'' and its just funny then shes like Wait that worked
That ranked at number four is just absurd
