Well, alright. I'll go get my backpack so I can carry the entire team.
The salarian navy accepts nothing less than bleeding-edge technology in every single vessel. Military observers were puzzled and not a little suspicious when the salarians slowed down dreadnought production, building fewer ships than legally permitted under the Treaty of Farixen. The answer lies in the complexity of their construction. Acting on orders from Sur'Kesh, STG agents procured schematics of the SSV Normandy's stealth systems and the algorithms behind the Normandy SR-2's Reaper IFF signal. Months of research yielded something previously unthinkable--dreadnoughts with stealth capabilities. The salarians expect the Reapers to break through the dreadnought's electronic countermeasures eventually, but until then, they have a crucial advantage against their monstrous enemies.
As I said, STG doesn't fuck around.
Why I fear the ocean.
Kai Leng was awesome for being not awesome.
Kai Leng is a poor man's Shepard, and he gets put in his place.
Full disclosure. I only have a Vanguard. Everybody else is <5. It's going to be great.

I didn't watch too much into it yet, but +1,000,000 for not overlaying yourself over the media like an attention-starved camwhore, flailing your arms around as you gripe resulting in attention being distractingly drawn away from the actual content you're reviewing and onto you for no justifiable reason.
....er, I mean, good effort!
Javik is great.
Why I fear the ocean.
Wreave is pretty interesting on his own, but.... oh my God
OTOH...
If Shepard didn't stop the Reapers, then the idea of giving the Yahg 50,000 years to evolve would have been absolutely terrifying, and they would have probably ended the Reaper menace on their own. Along with the entire galaxy.
If you just want a new gun just keep shooting for veterans until you get a decent pool.
Spectre packs will give you better guns but take longer.
Well apparently you don't get that text unless you
I have a Patreon for doll couture.
That's what I figured. Oh well... hopefully something will pop up before I hit 100%/finish SP and never play MP again.
Salarians are going to own the galaxy post-invasion.

Presumably, if you don't they keep the first fleet in reserve, dominating the galaxy once the war ends.

What's interesting is if you kill Wrex and destroy the data.
Of course, it'll all go to hell in a few thousand years when the genophage wears off and the Krogan are pissed as hell.
A lot of a prayer, and a lot more specter packs.

I'm watching the first minute, and it seems like he's trying too hard to copy RedLetterMedia.

And all that is diminished when you put it into context with Mass Effect 3, especially how they broke the squad apart. Even if the Collectors weren't important, the main story could still have been significant if the team stayed together.
Watch the ending of ME2:
Especially the last minute. Doesn't that kind of imply that everyone was making preparations for the war against the Reapers? It just doesn't make any sense to just throw that away.
GJ dude!
You are crushing it.... the 14 lines of dialog thing is spot on.
do you lack faith, brother?
or do you believe?
Looking negotiable.
Any more and we're talking big money.
this was very good
Well, he did say "RedLetterMedia-style" so I wasn't necessarily expecting "new and exciting content".
Edit: upon watching the video further, he actually does bring up a lot of good points and I do suggest watching it.
25:00. Well played, sir.
"Money tends to corrupt, and lots of money corrupts lotsely" - Me.
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS SHIT
36:00 is a good point too.
explaining the ending doesn't help.
One, there are over 10 billion Krogan currently alive, that's not a little bit.
Two, Krogan can have 1000 children a year. The genophage makes 1 in 1000 births not carry to term. So, on average, one baby per year per Krogan female. That's pretty similar to Earth standard of reproduction.
Three, Mordin himself in ME2 states that the genophage is designed not to make the Krogan extinct, but to slow down their breeding to allow for advances in technology that allow them to breed unchecked.
That being said, Mordin isn't curing the genphage because it's logical, it's because he feels guilty about how it works. The Krogan females carry their stillborn children to birth and, on average, have 999 stillborns a year. Mordin did not change his mind until after building a relationship with Eve. In ME3, she speaks to Shepard about how she felt after her first stillborn. Mordin looked at the genophage from a pure logical perspective before Eve made him realize how the Krogan women felt (don't forget he's a Salarian, different breeding styles).
Discounting the ethics of forcing stillborns on a race for a moment, the Krogan were never in any danger of going extinct based on the genophage. Their dwindling numbers, if you can call it that, are a social problem, not a reproduciton problem. Wrex in ME1 does state that many Krogan become mercenaries because it allows them to vent their frustration and hopelessness about their racial predicament.
For me, curing the genophage is not an option. The armies in ME3 only have the capacity to fight the Reapers for one year before the infrastructure collapses (a Shadow Broker email intercept in game). So that means, even if fully cured, there is no possible way curing the genophage will be able to contribute anything to the war besides moral to the Krogan. So curing it gives two things based on winning or losing. If the Repear war is won, you now have a fully cured Krogan spread through out a galaxy that lost significan military and infrastructure. There is also no fucking way for a second that I believe Wrex and Eve can control 10 billion Krogan. So winning the war will most likely lead to another Krogan rebellion without adding a single tangible resource to the Reaper war. Second, if they lose the war and are cured....well, congradulations. You just added a few billion babies to get killed by the reapers.
So yeah, I killed Mording and lied to the Krogan about being cured so I could get their help. Then when Wrex confronted me about cheating him and he threatened to pull the Krogan? I killed him too. But guess what? He should have recalled his forces before he confronted me, because he died before he could follow through on his thrreat. In the end, I got the Krogan to help me on Earth (led by Grunt who if you belive him from ME2, likes the genophage) and tricked them into thinking they are cured.
Yes I am a monster.

They set up the problem. They set up a solution.
I love that they included it. They made it personal.

Only a quarter of the way in and need to crash, but I intend to watch the rest later. I like what you have to say so far.
Very well done.
I dont advocate a new ending (they had a shot and borked it hard... this is what they wanted and they got it... you cant give the experience back...)- but I see why people would based on the video
Also the part where the fans changed fry's is dead on. I am not looking forward to bioware stuff right now. Just not.
Very nice. If you dump it on reddit put the link here for an up vote.
i wanna see them thrive again
and it's not like they wouldn't be bestest bros with humanity either if you beat the reapers
shep's an honorary krogan after all
besides, the infamous krogan rebellions were due to much of the species being clinically unstable
kinda interested to see what they'll look like in the future
