Wow, so Samara may have actually influenced history and allowed British Empire to exist. We definitely need more lore like that.
*sighs* time to dedicate a month of my life to replaying the trilogy for the 100th time changing absolutely nothing with my dialogue or story choices.. simply being… “We’ll bang, okay?”

What I loved about Vorcha the most is that while it appears from a pure military view they would be straight infantry and nothing else, it turns out one of the best fighters squadrons in the galaxy are piloted by the Vorcha.
One of my favorite tiny lore bits is one of the planets you can land on and roam on in Mass Effect 1 casually drops that the planet is coated in a pollen that can induce anaphylactic shock nigh instantly in most council species, and that is such a terrifying concept that is basically a travel note for the Mass Effect races

For Vanguard best is to spam the biotic charge that slows time, as shotgun use geth one or claimore. Infiltrator is headshot machine, adept - take another biotic as squadmate and combo the hell out of everything, sentinel - same as adept but less effective, more survivability tho and engineer is just miserable
I'll give it to you, this is probably one of the first obscure lore videos I've seen on a game I know so well where the lore is actually obscure.

I did my best
Fun fact, waaay back when ME-3 first released I bought the official game-guide from game-stop. In it, it had an obscure tid-bit that I've never see anyone talk about. Apparently, if you keep a certain type of fish alive in the cabin fish tank from ME-2 to the end of ME-3, then it says something like "Liara has unique dialogue for shepard". Sounds like it was a fun little easter egg, but I never did attempt to do it back then and have no Idea if it works in the remastered editions. If anyone knows what that Liara scene was, I'd love to know

If you import a save from Mass Effect 2 with a live Prejek Paddlefish into Mass Effect 3, keep the Paddlefish alive through an entire Mass Effect 3 playthrough and import the character again, a special Intel Bonus from Liara's Quarters on the Normandy is made immediately available. The Prejek Paddlefish Bonus gives you a 10% bonus to either Weapon or Power Damage.

Me too, like the Raloi and the Virtual Aliens these are cool stories that could have been explored in further depth but weren't. I think primarily it worked well this way as there's cool shit happening where the player isn't too, which is what you want from a world building perspective. That being said I hope these things crop up in the future because it'd be cool to see it applied to the world-building.
The Manswell Expedition left Earth two years before Liara T'soni was born.

#2 reminds me of how the ancient Vulcan renegades argued and agreed over local network forums, due to being separated on different generation ships in the early part of the diaspora that eventually begat...the Romulans.

There needs to be videos that tell 10 obscure facts for each squad member wether it’s lore or otherwise
Great video sir thanks I love mass effect respect 🙏
Maybe you can do the lore on thermal clips and heat sinks and what they are? Also loved the video
IIRC the Vorcha having such a short lifespan is mostly due to getting killed by others
Very obscure. Thank you.
I miss when these games were new and still coming out. It was a good and exciting franchise to be a part of.
i absolutely loved this

I love kasumi says “DAMN YOU HOCK” when learning he has lady liberty’s head. It just seems like a cheesy cartoon line.
That Samara part was probably cut because it kinda interferes with her teaching about the humans after she had to leave asari space
I know that you can't say it's canon because Dragon Age and Mass Effect are both just from Bioware but I enjoy the idea that both play in the same universe. In Kasumi's DLC, yeah I know it's just a DLC but hear me out, you can find an ogre statue but also in Dragon Age: Inquisition you can find in Halamshiral a krogans head and the description was, iirc, something along the lines of someone having been on a hunt and finding a weird species, the krogan, so that guy killed the krogan and took his head as a trophy. So this would mean that long before our known history of mankind all these elves, dwarfs and qunari existed and idk I just think it's a fun thought that some krogan might have just gotten lost on earth and the first contact was with some magic medieval french man who instantly said to himself "imma put the head of that thing above my fireplace" anyway thank you for your great video!! I got a huge amount of respect for the vorcha after I got to their home planet and for once actually took the time to read the planet information during Mass Effect 3

it would be super cool if Dragon Age and Mass Effect were in the same universe, though it would take a long time to explain why magic isn't a thing anymore lol
Thought you might've also included the "monsters from the id" bit as well.
If you applied real world evolutionary principles to the Vorcha and Salarians, they should be evolving at a much faster rate when ever their environment demands it, since evolutionary changes can only occur each time reproduction happens, and since they do that at a faster rate, their evolution should also be faster, they would stabilise faster too, so it would appear that their rate is low if their environment is fairly stable over time, but if it changes, they would have a much higher chance of surviving than other species, because they could evolve quicker to the change.
Considering the Charon relay was dormant and encased in ice until humanity activated it in the 2100’s, I find #10 highly doubtful which is probably why it was cut. Otherwise that would mean that the council races were aware of humanity and made the choice to shut down the relay. That doesn’t sound like something they would ever do. If so wouldn’t they do something similar with the Yahg considering how badly first contact with them went?
God i love Mordin he's gotta be my second favorite after Liara
What a pleasant surprise
The Asari remind me of the Kree in the marvel movies for some reason!
They did us dirty having so much backstory for Samara to be interested in humans but not interested in a relationship
I would love to see part 2

The idea that the reapers technically hit a stalemate with the coecha is funny
1:40 so in essence they use light to look into the past? Hell yeah!
Asari: Embrace eternity! Vorcha: NO MORE TALK! WE KNOW GAVORN'S TRICKS!
I get this video in my recommendations and now i must complete trilogy one more time(4th)
Samara as a cosmic Forrest Gump 😅
I knew the blonde hair fact. That's why all my FemSheps have blonde hair. I want my Shepard to be as unique as possible.
Aren’t the kiriks just a star wars référence ? That’s also the name of an insectoid ant-human specie in star wars (on alderaan in swtor)
Man maybe the council should’ve used the vorcha like the krogan it sounds like they put up a real fight 😂
I need a vorcha squadmate in mass effect 4
Straight away fallout on an alien world.
Vorcha: Exists Viper Rifle: 😉
Dose anyone else think dead space? As one of those games that was relatable, I think both series all had there own unique space experience for sure. But just space itself the games can all be in the same universe. If you will
I never knew of the Lysthenei sub-species.

Well technically it's not canon as it's cut content but the speculation would have only suggested it was possible had it been left in, so maybe it still is?
Uplifting a semi intelligent race that have psychic powers? Naw screw that.

Lystheni are not canon
