If you look at the dossier’s, Miranda struggled with infertility, and was determined to find a cure for it, because she would like to have a child
You that's another reason why I think the new N7 might be Miranda.
At the end of ME5 Liara gift thar she shaired why Shepard seems to be a bonding/mating meld. It's the same if Liara is a love intrest or a friend.
With bioware past of basically letting Liara get way with well with no consequences on EVERYTHING!
It wouldn't be surprising is bioware wrote that to be Liara "ace" to play when/if she seaching for or finds Shepard in ME5. Liara isn't suttle about trying to break up Shepard and another LI when they speak alone on the Normandy for the frist time in ME3.
Liara creating a child with Shepard would set Miranda off on her own seach for Shepard who at the end of ME3 was working with the Alliance and wanted a child of her own.
Now you could even put Ashley in that role if she survives ME1 and Miranda doesn't ME2.
i can fix her
The reason that she could not have a child was that she was created from her father's sperm. Basic biology tells us that all fetuses start out female. Then a switch is turned on and some become male. In Miranda's case since she lacked genes from her mother, she lacked the genes for childbirth. Add that to the other creepy Dr. Frankensteining thngs that her father did to create her, it should not be a stretch.
In the ME3 multiplayer DLC there is a character type called "Awakened Collector". According to their lore, they were a group of Collectors that were freed from Harbinger's control by Leviathans. They went on to fight against the Reapers as "avatars of vengeance" in the memory of the Protheans.
oooo I didn't know this I'll have to look more into it thank you!
Just so that this multiplayer thing is cancelled since the Legendary Edition. Good for us though.
@@niemand7811 Technically, ME3 MP is still up and running. I played it yesterday. community is small, but still active, at least, in my region.
51. In ME1, on planet Junthor, you scan the ruins of a technical civilization, the only inscription was translated to "...Monsters from the ID..." Which is a reference to the film that inspired every sci-fi: Forbidden Planet, which in return is based on the Shakespeare play, The Tempest, which in return is the name of your ship from ME:A, the Tempest!
I love the ME devs...
This was a damn good list, I hope there's More! As much as I've played ME, I had forgotten about Emily Wong!
I still think its hillarious that in the Trailer the German News Anchor calmly reports on an invading force that has already destroyed a whole City while the french news can't even get their shit running :D
Now I need to hear Mordin sing in his native tongue.
The alien languages remind me of KOTOR. Maybe the original plan was to have minor npcs speak gibberish and to have the text act as the universal translation.
Indeed.. I'd imagine it'd be like how Pel described his trip to Omega in Ascension book (weird sounds from the aliens)
The sounds of their voices reminded me of Halo. The Turian voice sounded just like a Jackal.
I'm always saying how many videos claim I don't know all these facts about Mass Effect, and this one is the first where there were more than I thought.
Noice.
I'm still sad they killed off Emily Wong like that, I would have much rather had her on the Normandy 😢
Yeah big same 😞
I think number 28 is a reference to the movie “Catch me if you can” and the real life Frank Abagnale, a con artist who impersonated an assistant state attorney general, a hospital physician, a Pan American pilot, and wrote a lot of bad checks to fund his escapades
By far the biggest surprise from these is someone actually liking Jacob
Oof, that Citadel music always hits me hard. The first time you set foot on the Citadel, it’s just a stunning moment. Great list, thank you! It really highlights how fantastic the writing is, and how deep the lore goes, in Mass Effect.
Come on, "It's over 9000 million!" F' yeah! Own it. If it was an accident, it was an amazing one.
They did Wong dirty. I would have preferred seeing her as the one we could let on the Normandy and be interviewed by.
Would have also felt like a full circle. Helped her with her noble crusade in ME1, she helps yours in ME3.
And with seeing MS taking its hold on my mother more by the week, I really feel for Garrus. Get that man guns to calibrate, drink, and a hug.
Yeah Emily wong should have had allers position 🥲
@@kalaelizabeth agreed.
I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I am in a similar state with my own mother being in Stage 5 kidney failure. I've been playing ME Legendary since August or September. It has helped me cope and work through my feelings with this new fork in the road. I have played it through seven times. Each time I say that I'm going to leave it alone for a while and play something else, I don't. I go back to it.
These video games maybe just games to some. But they can help you find peace, blow off stress and just be if you embrace the the amazing stories and the characters that people are introduced to.
My mom used to get mad at my brother and me for always wanting to play (heck we started in the 80s with Atari). I told her which one did she want us to do, play video games or out doing crack. She didn't say another word.
I wish the best for you and your mom. Garrus is the man. I wish ME would let your take three folks with you on a mission. It's hard choosing between Kaidan and Garrus unless Kaidan is your man.
@@mljohnson6072 I'm sorry that your mother is going through that, and in turn the family. I'd say well over 50% of any gaming I have done the last year has been ME Legendary, got it free with PS+ and then properly when on sale. As much as I have enjoyed many games, including the MGS series, ME has hit the feels unlike any other. It's perhaps that escape, or comfort through the characters, or the emotional release, but I find myself drawn to it so much.
So I completely understand the attachment to it. I've not managed so much emotional release in years and any who know things understand we all need a vent just as power plants do. Gaming is as much a mechanism for this as reading, music, TV/Movies, all of which have been a vent too for me in my life.
May the coming year and beyond be better for you and the family, whether it is getting to be together or finding peace. Stand fast, stand strong, stand together.
My most used duo tends to be Garrus and Tali. Whether as male or female Shep, though I change it up at times just to experience new things like Zaeed's comments. Taking a 3rd with would be great.
I love Tali, but man I would have romanced the hell out of Emily Wong had she been in the game.@@kalaelizabeth
I thought I knew almost all there was to know about my favorite, series then you hit me with "Legion's a toxic gamer" and now I feel like I need to play this series again and comb it for every detail I can find
yeah that fact was really funny, also love that he plays dating sims ha
I like to think that the Alliance News Network broadcasts are what Mass Effect will look like if it's ever turned into a live action movie.
The alien voices are incredible, had no idea about those
I don't know where you found out about Rolan Quarn, but I'll be damned if I don't enjoy the concept of a turian with a heart of gold. 😊
honestly his character is really awesome I hope we see him again!
@@kalaelizabeth Or his legacy?
I imagine a dude like that doing something unintentionally epic and being immortalized for it.
Damn why didn't Garrus tell me!?
I would've funded his mother's medical fees.
5:14 TIM’s probably like a quadrillionaire, I’m sure he doesn’t need much game lol
Very true 😂
I’m not even a sports fan but imagine a Krogan quarterback….
Like all you would need is receivers at that point, right?
Ezrabet Vidmar , to me, sounds like an analog for the real Elizabeth Bathroy, which is one of the names of costumes from the offensive Asari costume party. She was a Hungarian noblewoman in the late 1500's or early 1600's that tricked young peasant woman to take jobs at her castle. Like cleaning, cooking, etc. Once they got there she would drain, their blood to bathe in. She eventually was walled up alive as a punishment for her many murders. There are documentaries and horror movies based on her. Search Google and UA-cam. Much may have been exaggerated by her political enemies. But, it makes a shocking story.
Ahhh The Blood Countess. Not often you come across references or mentions outside of vids, docs etc. About her.
Karliene, if I recall, sung a good song about her. Just in case you didn't know and would be interested.
When I read the article about the asari college students dressing up as elizabeth bathory I was shocked about her history. Truly gruesome. The doctors name definitely sounds like it could be a reference
@@kalaelizabeth it is a reference, as Bathory was accused of killing young women for their blood to bathe in
Im glad there a people that searched and looked up every detail for Mass Effect too😮
I can’t tell you how well your cadence is in your videos. Whether intentional or not you have such a good way in pulling us in. Great video!
I work hard on it so I'm glad to hear it thank you!
As always a very well thought out and presented video. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you for all your hard work, Kala.

A friend had sent me a screenshot from the ME3 IOS app. I believe Cerberus news sent out a story about a drug level's and dextro's could take to safety eat the opposites food. Garrus sends an email you can get through the app saying he'd like to try grilled cheese bc he thinks his father would have made them for him and his sister.
Wish I had a pc to get these through a mod 😞
I'd love to see those I'll have to see if I can find them! And that drug was apparently super expensive and only lasted 24 hours but when it came out all the restaurants were booked like crazy! Love small ME lore like this
And here I thought I knew everything about ME. Nice video I learned so much new stuff
a krogan quarterback is such a good idea. that headplate is good for concussion protection i imagine.
Always great stuff
thank you!!
One more piece of information about the last fact: me1 data reveals that encountering this artifact is a flagged event, meaning that it was intended to have some sort of impact or continuation in the sequels
Mass Effect 3's marketing was so good.
ah was just looking for a vid to wind down to for the night and this appeared. thanks as always, Kala!
Enjoy!
So basically Mark Meer as a renegade doesn't care what happens to his wife ouch
Awesome video. Currently replaying the franchise and is great to see that there are still things to learn.
Also it's really cool and heartwarming that Legion plays that Eden Prime fundraising game just to donate as it has 0 minutes played but platinum level donations.
Yeah that was a heartwarming fact 😭
This video deserves more views
One of my favorite hidden details is in the citadel DLC the ark of the covenant player you can only see it when you’re getting ready to leave that area of the archives you have to turn around and look back at a destroyed archive When you step into that archive, it says artifact found on earth always thought that was kind of weird and interesting quiet the species knew about humans away before we even discovered them more than likely the asari and the fact that they let the first contact war happen
What area of the archives?
@@beverlyarcher546 I want to say one of the last areas you run through there’s a couple videos on UA-cam that show it mass effect citadel DLC ark of the covenant you’ll find them sorry can not be exact in my location
I love the War of the Worlds like feel of the Reapers just marching around.
Superb job, Kala. I've seen the subscriptions quickly grow on your site. I find myself a habitual Mass Effect player, but couldn't put together what you have. Very well done.
Thanks so much !
I love these types of videos because it helps me determine how much I've no lifed this series
I clicked on a random video and it was this one.
Very good work on your part, everything is interesting and you have a nice voice for the content. Expected to stay for 30 seconds and watched the whole thing.
Very vice job
Glad you liked it!
Am I the only one who would like a live action horror set on earth or probably London during the reaper attacks
I would totally love this
Love so much the music of mass effect. Is so relaxing and comfy 😊
Great video Kala!
Thanks so much!
Grunt liking Hemingway may be less of a surprise than most might think. Hemingway was an avid hunter. Those who have seen “Predators” know the famous quote from Hemingway: “There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and irked it, never care for anything else thereafter.” Sharks and Dinos? Yeah. Almost too obvious!😂
Thanks for all the great content this year, looking forward to more in '24, Happy New Year!
Before watching this : pfff another 50 facts i know… After watching : So be it.
The stuff about batarians leaving their government just reminded me of one of my favorite things about Mass Effect 3 especially; It’s just so damn hopeful despite how dark its plot gets. The themes of unity pose a really optimistic future for the Mass Effect universe going forward, and I really hope Mass Effect 5 shows us a more optimistic galaxy rather than “and then everyone descended back into war.”
Fantastic coverage! I'm a huge mass effect fan, but I didn't know most of these! Subscribed;l i've been binging several of your great mass effect videos. Really reignited my interest and passion for the series.
Your Mass effect videos really keep me interested in the franchise. You have a great voice and rhythm, it's so easy to listen to. Some of this I'd seen before but some of it was still new. Interesting and light-hearted. Have an amazing new year.
Thanks so much! I hope you have an awesome year too!
Cerberus is going to burn for their crimes
I really need to replay these
Thanks for uploading fresh new content of Mass Effect
Great job, as always. You gave a lot of information to ponder. So, I might comment more later
The asari "human history party" while I agree is icky is such a smart way to have a bit of more social commentary in the lore. Unfortunately very realistic seeming party
Reapers know how to access data and extranet sources, thus raloy's first contact with Citadel would've been discovered eventually.
That was fun and informative at the same time, thanks Kala. Maybe some of these will crop up in ME5?
I never read any of the info on my 1st playthrough as I was rushing to save the universe but got into it 2nd playthrough. There is a lot of interesting detail if you take the time, which you certainly have, can always rely on your videos for that.
Hope you have a good New Years🎉 Kala and all the best for 2024.
Thank you so much I hope you have an awesome new year too!
Note Liara doesnt included any information about her or Feron in the information data base that the Shadow broker had on every one else. Was there something Liara to hide?
the artist syd mead being involved was a fun fact i didn't know....thanks kala great video
Yeah the visual inspiration is so obvious once you know to look for it!
that really explains why i loved the look of the world @@kalaelizabeth
WTF Garrus without voice module sounds like an extremely angry donald the duck while the krogan sound like the elites from halo 1.
Played this game so many I did know most of the top 50.
Either it's #42 or #43, I need to think twice to handle Rana. Knew Meer's wife was the voice for creating your Shepherd, but Rana.I have a head canon for the perfect ME playthrough, ah dang how to deal with Rana now. I guess I'll figure that part.
#51 if playing BroShep and get to the Citadel DLC and Blasto w/ Javik... it''s Mark Meer 3x. VA for Shep, the Vorcha ,and Hanar... really curious Meers that day he was doing all at once or in fragments.
Awesome show Kala, thank you for this vid.
rumor has it that the live action mass effect 3 trailers were inspired by bungies halo marketing and tried a similar approach.
I'm not sure how translators work but if they aren't implants I think it would be cool to have a mission like the one in the citadel DLC where the new protagonist gets attacked and left without their translator and you get to hear alien language if that makes sense
I just recently played mass effect for the first time in oct/Nov and I fell in love with the characters this is a great list
This is the best sh*! Ever!! Adari dressing up as Hitler, and c-sec needs more funding. Crying laughing while listening to this. 😂😂😂
The 1v1 turian general that ended up having memes made of it was really funny too. There's so many funny lore bits!
Speaking of the new Mass Effect, looks like it got rebooted to me.
loved the video , learned a lot of lore that i didnt know .
Glad you learned some new stuff!
That's such a Mordin thing to do 😢
He was such a good friend 🥹
literally the best triology that ever exist besides Halo. Imagine beeing a human doing rugby / american football and face off against a krogan. Mf probably sents you to another universe
Another perfect video. keep 'm coming. 🙂🙂🙂🙂
thank you! have a great new year!
There is so much more that can be told from existing lore it would be a waste to not use it in the next Mass Effect. It would guarantee engagement. But we all know what happens when there is a new writer. Maybe it's not such a bad idea to have the execs tell them what to do.
Yeah I sincerely hope they pull from some of these obscure lore bits in the next game, there's a lot of good there.
@@kalaelizabeth the first thing they need to do is not do anything that don't make sense. I've been watching a number of playthroughs new to the lore. An observation of Andromeda is the tempo for the Saliran's are wrong. The game has no feelings. No emotion.
For the voice thing I think I found either the turian or krogon one in I think the Flux in mass effect one on the legendary I was messing around pretending to dancing at first I thought it was a vorcha but they weren't in mass effect until number 2 and I even found where they placed the sound it's on the fist floor of the bar around the bar bye the stairs where there's a red light it's right in the corner closest to the stairs I was wondering what it was I was hearing until I watched this video I wonder if I can find the other ones
That turian fraud guy needs to team up with kasumi.
They'd make an amazing duo 😂
Does anyone else thinks that the metallic look of me2 and me3 look so good and realistic to the story?. I'm talking about the visuals of ships, walls, armor and weapons also the dark colors in graphics. New games look like plastic, they will have the best graphics but plastic visuals.
Your awesome for this
I can’t stand the Elcor’s ridiculous obsession with hamlet. It’s especially annoying in Mass Effect Annhilation(the Quarian Arc story if i recall correctly)
Damn space horse literally claims hamlet wasn’t human and humans stole him from the Elcor😑
😂😂😂
Yes that one fellow did go on about it a little too much in the book.
You posted this as I'm playing ME2.
Perfect timing!
@@kalaelizabeth Indeed
9 thousand million? thats A LOT.
Please 😭😭😭😭
That's just my Shepard's net cash. 😂
Nice. Yes, there is a lot info in msg terminals and also in shadow brocker terminals.
As usual well done lady.
Ok idea for a new video. This is a very different idea and view point.
How would a Renegade/Ruthless view their crewmates? Let's be honest. Would Shepard want some of the on the crew? Allow crew members to just get away with comments they make?
Examples.
Miranda talking about a chip (especially if Shepard is a colonist)
Garrus questioning orders
Jacob insulting comments
James inappropriate flirting
Liara selfishness
I can't remember the name of Aira's guard that claims to toss Shepard out of airlock after Shepard was brought back from being spaced. Even Anderson misleads Shepard
Bioware reponces for Shepard are not rengende. Would a Renegade let crew and others just "steam roll over" Shepard like? Bioware just writes Shepard responses are like...Whatever
I'm very interested in your opinion because you also tend to play Renegade. Most other content creators tend to lean Paragon.
this is a good topic and is something I think I'll explore further when I go more into a video exploring how I think renegade/paragon should be updated in ME5 since we have seen clues that it's returning!
How I saw it: to a ME Renegade, people are either pawns to aid your plans or pointless obstacles. Their lives are expendable and their opinions are just noise. A true Renegade doesn't care what the crew says or does, they might let them die tomorrow, so there is no point wasting breath lecturing Liara, reprimanding James, arguing with Garrus, or telling Miranda your feelings are hurt. Get info. Kill enemies. Complete the mission. Profit and move on.
Renegade are too callous to give a damn for any squabble.
@Rafro96 that's not completely true. The renegade response to Miranda and Jack and Legion and Tali fighting were very harsh and very threating.
Same with Shepards response to Jenkins wanting to "prove" himself.
A Renegade would never let someone get away with disrespect. They would put someone in their place not just be Meh, whatever.
I love all of these. Who knew the Illusive Man had game? Also, how bonkers were videogame trailers back in the day, imagine just watching TV and that pops up? They should do more stuff like that these days.
I really hope the marketing kicks it up like they used to do. Was really cool stuff back then
Hey Kala, I was just thinking about the Andromeda initiative and realized just how dangerous SAM is. Javik talks about an alien race the Shatil that were taken over by AI that they made to interface with.
Have you given any consideration to the idea that the Andromeda initiative could be taken over by a rogue SAM?
The AI was taken over by the Reapers. Without reaper interference that wouldn't have happened. The Reapers are a self fulfilling prophecy.
The reapers were a result of the cycle. Organics created AI and AI revolts against their creators.
The star child warns Shepard at the end of ME3 that if he destroys the reapers his children’s children would create AI and the cycle would start over.
While the Geth and EDI exist they are anomalies as the cycle literally repeated itself consistently for millions of years.
The idea of a sam going rogue and turning on it’s creator is not far fetched.
I talked a little bit about SAM being the benefactor in my benefactor video and while I don't think SAM would do that, we know that SAM has a sense of self preservation and hides information, I think if we got a proper Andromeda sequel, a lot more could be learned about SAM but as of right now, I don't see that as a possibility.
@@kalaelizabeth I didn't mean Ryder's SAM the one we got to know and love. I meant a different SAM from another Ark. The Turian SAM and Quarian SAM both come to mind seeing as they were both compromised.
Hey Kala, I can't find my answer, but do we know which Mass Effect 3 Ending is considered cannon yet?
No ending is considered canon at the moment
legion as a gamer and got banned for 3 days lmao. that got me good
Why does femshep sound like the "Hey there Puff mama" woman from spongebob
Like #445! Preem content as usual choom!
5:11 fornax dreamgirl? 😂😂😂
Batarian arc?
I use a mod to remove Diana Allers from my game, I never see her haha. Would I have done that to Emily? No, of course not.
21 might be a reference to (ex) Prince Harry? he went to a costume party dressed up in a Nazi uniform and caused a huge scandal iirc. not sure if the games' release dates line up, though.
Liara is available for male and female ash available for male shep Samantha female shep
Probably the least known fact: SpaceX is in ME cannon/lore. You could infer that Elon Musk/one of his missions uncovered the Prothean Archive on Mars 😮
We pretend that didn't happen.
they should have space x in a throwaway paragraph in future lore where the program implodes on itself because it's run by an idiot lol
A "thousand million" is a billion. Just sayin...
Awesome video
I got a theory about commander shepherd. Still alive and what happened was Liara at the end of 3.
Had commander, shepherd And. Taken away before the final battle. Because no matter what love interest you have have. She always is there and her cut scene when she combines. Minds with shepherd has no point maybe She took commander shepherd after knocking him out and the rest was a dream. After all, nobody really liked the end of mass effect 3. So this is a good way to redcon it.
21. Those Asari did nothing wrong smh
Very ballsy to put out a "bet you didn't know this" video about a beloved game franchise that's been out for decades at this point. This is similar to putting out a video about the original starwars trilogy claiming there's still stuff people don't know about them at this point.
And yet, there were a ton of people in the comments who learned new things 🥰
@@kalaelizabeth guess they didn't take the time to read the shadow broker dossiers lol
All my friends hate Batarians.
