Mass Alex: Mass Effect 3 - Part 18

Yes!

Holy moly that's a long ep, looking forward to it. Thanks Captains Navarro and Caravella

put gillian anderson in all of the things

I thought it was Kanye at first, but was Jacob

Good ole Jacob Bacob maybe the purest character in the Mass Effect series

@awkwardl0ser: If you romance him in Mass Effect 2 he leaves you without saying anything while you're under arrest, cheats on you, and gets the leader of the group you meet in his mission pregnant.

"Fun" fact: if you lie and tell that guy that his brother died at the Academy, he shoots himself in grief.

Please play Andromeda when you're done this playrhrough

Andromeda next!

Are you going to play Citadel DLC before the last mission? Please say yes.

I knew Dr Cole sounded familiar. It's Jo Wyatt. As in Ciri.

It helps to check the map when you are in the Citadel to see all the quest turn in guys. You can change floors in the map as well!

@awkwardl0ser: Unless you romance him, then he’s not so pure.

The amount of time Alex says "where do I go" or "what are we doing" when he could hit the objective marker button... Please use this button :)

Also try different guns

@alex Fun fact, his name is actually pronounced Killian Murphy and not Sillian :)

@zandrake94: Yeah Jacob is anything but pure. I think it's cool when RPG companions make active decisions that aren't solely for the player's whims, but boy people who romanced Jacob in 2 got a real hard slap in the face.

It is neat that a lot of interactions play out differently for those femsheps.

This gave me a massive Alex.

Missed a golden opportunity to say 'Eat my Cerber-ASS'

@bobulus: How fun!

Also, 23:15.

Please don't!

Please don't make the same mistake that drew and Dan made when they played MGSV, and finishing a series with a fizzle.

So during my last playthrough of this game a couple years I had (obviously older versions of) pretty much all the mods Alex has installed. I’ve noticed some bugs (like the bug where Alex got stuck by Joker), visual bugs and stuttering throughout the past few episodes. It reminds me of an issue I ran into with my last playthrough of this game I did that culminated in the game pad mod just not working anymore during the Leviathan mission. In fact, I think it may have caused the game to repeatedly crash during the same section of the leviathan mission. I bring this up because from what I recall the only way I was able to progress forward was by uninstalling the controller mod and just playing the rest of the game with mouse and keyboard. Just wanted to make y’all aware of this in case you run into the same issue.

Thank you Vinny and Alex

just in case y'all haven't seen this @vinny, @alex

should save a lot of time running around the citadel looking for people to talk to and progressing citadel quests!

@alex Just to save you the trip next time, you already have what you need to turn in the Elcor mission! You picked it up when you went to Dekuuna in this episode.

If you find the game too easy, feel free to up the difficulty. Hardcore feels more balanced with all these dlc weapons and mods.

Also remember you can check your map to find objectives in the citadel.

edit: last thing, you already did the Elcor thing, you just need to talk to him again.

Love me an extra long episode of Mass Alex after working my week wee in a grocery store, where some idiots still don't wear masks. Thanks Alex and Vinny!

by order of the peaky fookin blinders

Talkin bout eels..

@zandrake94: A man’s got kneads 🤷🏻‍♀️

If you guys go to the next story planet plz make make sure its with Javik and Liar. You get the best dialogue/lore about the asari from them together

1:11:47-When people talk to me after dinner and my IBS is kicking in.

@thechris: Thank god someone else said it, I'm from up the road from him in Cork and hearing Sillian nearly made me cry in shame

@gerbilsinspace: MGSV's gameplay is tight for me. Did they play the entire game plus the bonus chapters, im talking weird scenes of Quite in that taboo cutscene and all...I can see how that might rub people the wrong way. Still trying to get through andromeda. Im on the first planet and have been since release. Just cant see how the game could be so bad since I like the universe, the gameplay is sorta improved or more versatile and i can take a decent storyline. I can overlook glitches and graphics...so am i in good shape, most still say don't bother and uninstall. Telling that I beat all three mass effects in 2 weeks which is around 60 hours and its taking me so long for this game thou.

I had completely forgotten the Jacob stuff even existed in ME3. Psyched for Leviathan, I think that was pretty much the last thing Alex hasn't played out of the things I did in ME3(Never finished it, know very little about the ending, waited when I heard there was an update to the ending, felt kind of exhausted by the indecision over what the good version of the ending was and just left it), so looking forward.

*Love* to spend time in the Silly 'Un Nebula

@zandrake94: Wait, so they don't even bother to account for a ME2 romance with him in this game? I guess it makes sense considering there is a decent amount of stuff about him and the scientist he helped rescue hooking up, but still...

@thepenguin55: I ran into a goofy ass 'glitch' when I was playing this on my Xbox a couple of months ago. I was checking out one of the stores at the Citadel and I got trapped by two salarians whose walk animations just froze at the perfect point where they boxed me in against the store kiosk. Had to eventually reload the checkpoint after 5 minutes of failed desperate maneuvering.

Oh they account for it alright! FemShep gets kinda pissed! I had romanced Jacob, but by the time I did this mission, I had already curb'd him for Traynor. However, Shep still gives Jacob a piece of her mind, along the lines of "Did you forget about us?" I dont remember the exact wording. I'm sure there are YT vids of all the dialog outcomes.

Yeah Shepard has the option to get super confrontational with Jacob, and they even added more options for that in the Citadel DLC, the writers definitely committed to it in an interesting way

@hostyl1: Oh ok, I never went him in my Femshep playthrough (Liara for life), but it's good to know they did account for it in some way.

DLC is probably soon, right?

Sillian Murphy triggered me harder than it should have lol. It's a good thing Alex never met him working at Screened!

Hey there's a biotic combo around the 35 minute mark!

I suddenly appreciate the need for a 'Giant Inflatable Hammer' mod at 10.37.

Excellent episode, as always!

@bb2809: Thank you for your efforts! And sorry you have to put up with fools like that.

BlastoWatch 2020 continues as Alex unfortunately misses the poster interaction point outside of the room he met with Miranda in. Maybe next Citadel episode...

Sigh, Alex keeps forgetting about the med bay ability change station. Hopefully he remember soon, he is kind of close to the end.

The Eden Prime mission was part of Javik's mission. It's still in the journal because, like those Omega ones you have, you didn't complete it.

@crimsonjesus: lol thank goodness someone else caught that. One could say it was pretty SILLY of alex to pronounce his name wrong.

@maybjorn: I bet they're going to do Leviathan and Citadel right before the end of the game. Vinny is usually pretty good at making sure Alex does the bigger dlc towards the end, like with arrival dlc at the end of mass effect 2.
