Squadmate Recommendations: SUR’KESH - Liara and Garrus GRISSOM ACADEMY - Liara or EDI KROGAN SCOUTS - Garrus TUCHANKA - Javik and Garrus; Liara is good too CITADEL II - whoever, Garrus has some unique dialogue on C-Sec, with some more unique dialogue if things go south GETH DREADNOUGHT - EDI or James ADMIRAL KORIS - Tali and James RANNOCH - Javik ARRAE - EDI and Tali ASARI MONASTERY - Liara THESSIA - Javik CRONOS STATION - Romance… or Liara EARTH - 2 phases - bring your faves I forgot to mention Eden Prime in the video. Liara is mandatory for that mission. James, EDI and Garrus all seem to have similar dialogue so bring whoever. Ashley/Kaidan have some unique dialogue but it's honestly not worth postponing Eden Prime just to hear those comments.

@@Jedi_Spartan Honestly, Insanity difficulty is not really that hard on ME3. ME2 was by far a bigger challenge because every enemy in the game at least has armor, shields or a barrier to contend with before you can hurt them. Even the husks in ME2 have a layer of armor, which means you can't just hit them with singularity or lift or throw and deal with the whole horde of them at once. ME3 doesn't do that. Most basic enemies just have a health bar and so you can just mop the floor with dozens of Cannibals with a single singularity/warp combo or whatever. I think I died three times total in all of ME3 on Insanity and they were all because of the dumb 1-shot kills from enemy grenades where I got stuck on cover or something like that and couldn't escape the explosion radius in time.

Spec him into Squad Explosive Ammo and give him a high rate-of-fire weapon, like the Revenant or Typhoon. If you are looking for hilarious fun, give him the Falcon, that works, too. With that build, James gets not only extremely high DPS and incredible survivability, but also buffs your entire squad with Explosive Ammo (albeit at 50% effectiveness), which is handy if your Shepard is power-based (like my Engineer). Even Liara and EDI can get decent DPS out of their SMGs this way, not to mention priming their targets for fire explosions. I honestly feel like James is very underapriciated as a squadmate, both in terms of combat and dialogue.

Personally, for the Arrae Ex-Cerberus Scientist, I think bringing Kaidan is also a good idea, because at the end of the mission, Kaidan would talk to Shepard on the Normandy about whether everyone working with Cerberus are all bad or something like that. (I’m not sure about Ashley’s case) ...Also I brought Garrus in almost every mission. He’s just awesome ❤️

This was a great video idea. Just the other day I was looking up unique dialog for certain missions.

Hey Big Dan! I have a video suggestion. I think it's safe to assume most Mass Effect fans and your viewers play all 3 games in succession, importing their save files. How about making a video specifically about what players are missing OUT on when they play Mass Effect 2 or 3 without importing save files? The video could cover both "missing" content, i.e. quests or encounters that simply do not happen when you don't import a save, but also "default states", i.e. which major game decisions are being defaulted for non-imported playthroughs, e.g. the fact that Wrex is always considered dead if you don't import a save from ME1, and so is the original Council (I think). Or I'm pretty sure Mordin only appears in ME3 when you import a save from ME2 - players starting from ME3 always get Padon Wiks. Keep rocking btw, I love your content :)

On the last mission if you romance Liara and bring her on the second half, she has a very special unique dialogue when your squad evacuates.

5:50 I heard Kaidan has some unique lines in the monastery too, but they're very low in priority, so you have to take Garrus or Javik with him

It's the one bad thing about bringing Tali and Garrus on every mission: their powers have no synergy together. They don't have any combo detonators that can play off of each other and so it falls on whatever powers Shepard has to activate explosion combos. Does that stop me from bringing them everywhere? Nope.

Great Video ! Do this type of video for the 2nd game or the 1st as well.

I like to save the Krogan Scouts mission for when you get Tali on your squad. “SPIDERS! SPIDERS! SPIIIIIDDDEEEEEERRRS!”

Wonderful video! As a long time player, even if I try otherwise, I typically fall into the habit of just bringing Garrus and Tali with me at all times.

I appreciate this type of content. I've been wondering if other players ever pay attention to which companions they choose because of unique dialog, because I always have. And each time I get a sense of relief when some of the characters converse about specific topics. The propositions here are pretty spot-on, just some minor deviations from my personal choices.

I'm a Goose, and this is my favorite Mass Effect channel on KZread.

It means delaying getting Javik for a bit, but if you wait to do his recruitment until you can bring the Vermire survivor, they have some nice dialogue talking about being back on Eden Prime.

Well done Dan. I love these videos. Mass Effect fanboy here :)

I can recommend bringing Javik on Sur'kesh for Kirrahe assuming he's just a genetically engineered Drell. He also doesn't put up with Wreav's arrogance. He's also good to bring on the Krogan scouts mission so he embarrasses Grunt telling him he "left his mark" on the Normandy.

"Heh, heh..." gets me every time. Ah Grunt!

For the final Earth segment, taking your romance (if they're available) will give you some special dialogue in the final run. Full disclosure! I have only ever romanced Tali so I have only ever seen the end portion with her. I know at least she has some unique dialogue.

Javik is also good to bring for the Grunt mission as he is in Grunt’s old room.

I really liked the idea of this video! Would be great to see more of them! If you could do a follow up and include some feedback on ones you get in the comments and wish for missions for 3 would be great!

For ME2 you should bring Kasumi along for Jack's loyalty mission. I brought her along on a whim one playthrough and there was one line that she blindsided me with that had me basically weeping for the rest of the mission.

So as with the whole trilogy, always pick Garrus.

I have a recommendation for you, BD. *(SPOILERS FOR ANYONE WHO HASN'T PLAYED ME3 YET)* By now everyone has heard of the Indoctrination Theory and the controversies, but I have a twist--I don't think the indoctrination attempt is just limited to London, but actually started before we actually took control of Shepherd. In the Vancouver level, right before you take control, Shepherd is launched into a wall from a Reaper laser and falls to the floor, after which everything around him blurs in vision, a visual cue in other media that we've transitioned to an internal viewpoint. What if all the conveniences, all the confrontations, all of the plotholes, occur because the ENTIRETY of ME3 takes place in Shepherd's mind as an attempt to break him into indoctrination, hence why it's possible for him to survive in the Destroy options, because technically he never left Earth? The more you analyze the details and inconsistencies between ME3 and the other two games (why so much effort is spent by Shepherd on retaking Earth instead of saving the galaxy, why plot points prominent in the first two games are blatantly ignored, why TIM goes full nutbars instead of remaining cryptic, why Kai Leng and Udina's betrayal come completely out of left field, why the Starchild looks like the Klencory beings of light in the lore, etc.), the more it seems like a legitimate possibility. I'd love to see you go in depth on this interpretation and give your thoughts on how feasible the premise could be, what reference points could support it, and whether people should re-examine the games from that standpoint to gain a bit more clarity on why ME3 seems so different and why Andromeda possibly went in the direction it did. Just a thought...

I’m still laughing at James kicking the AA gun. I must have played ME3 like 100 times over the years and never bought James along 🤣

It's good to see this and figure out who to bring if you want to do it a certain way. Though I can think of others to bring for certain missions you mentioned as well (even though you did an amazing job anyway): Javik on the Rachni mission, if only for his conversation with Grunt at the beginning, any of your ME2 companions for the Ardakt-Yakshi Monestary, if only really for minor unique dialogue between them and Samara, Garrus for minor unique banter with Jack on the Grissiom Academy mission as well - especially depending on if your Shepard romanced him or not - and also either EDI and/or Garrus for when/if you encounter David Archer on the same mission (albeit, it's a minor thing again). Also I'd say bring your romanced companion - if it's one of your teammates that is - for the final part of Priority Earth, because of that unique dialogue for when they board the Normandy when you get them off Earth when Harbinger is attacking everyone near the gateway to the Citadel. Keep up the great work!

The banter between Tali and Kaidan at the start of the Geth dreadnought is a good way to break the ice and get the gang back together ;7

The best team mates to bring are your favorites buddies. In ME skills are secondary, it's all about friendships! When the bottles come, Garrus & I will be ready.

Ashley and kaiden really got screwed over in this game when it comes to interaction's

It's a bit sad how BioWare don't gave them some love.

@@menajack it was bullshit, and when I looked deeper it turns out that Ash had a conversation with Shepard asking them what they saw when they died! It was good, I can kinda see why they wouldn't want it in the game but it added so much more depth to her. And Kaidan apparently also has a conversation right after the Coup to apologice for being a dick? Which Ash doesn't get? This is bullshit, 100%

I always take Tali with me for the Admiral Koris mission. She has unique dialog. Especially when you find that dying quarian. It's really meaningful. I also always take Garrus with me for the turian platoon and bomb missions on Tuchunka

I’d say nearly all of what you suggested makes great role play sense! My one change would be for the two parts of retaking Earth. When you first land, it makes the most sense to take Ashley/Kaiden and James. Both human squadmates, taking back their homeworld alongside Shep just makes it hit harder for me. And then part two of Earth I take my love interest and Javik. Love interest so you can have the heavy moment of saving them during Harbinger’s attack and getting them onto the Normandy, and Javik because the last voice of the Protheans just NEEDS to see the end of the Reapers!

You forgot to mention in the second half of priority earth you should bring your lover if they’re a squad mate cause you have the extended cut goodbye during the run for the beam

javik and garrus for sur'kesh every time. garrus still makes the shadow broker jokes, and wrex has unique dialogue with javik

When you bring javik to help krogan scouts he has banter with grunt..stating he was the that left his mark in the cargo hold....kinda better than garrus few lines to me

First off your tutorials are awesome and really helpful. For the rachni mission I would suggest bringing Javik & Garrus. Javik has some surprisingly interesting insight to the rachni about his cycle and if you piece all the info together you can kinda understand why they were so aggressively hostile when discovered, possibly because of prothean influence and what they did to the rachni in their previous cycle...

Other than tali with the geth, it’s always Kaidan, liara and myself doing biotic combos galore. It’s all about the sound it makes 😌

Having Garrus joke about the shadow broker during that mission was even more special to me since I brought him with during the DLC

Garrus is just the best. He's got amazing comments for almost every mission, he's a bro to both Shepard and the rest of the crew, and, gameplay-wise, he complements most of Shepard's possible classes and builds, and he's available for ALL THREE GAMES. He's just about perfect in terms of design and writing.

And the best lover for femshep :-P

Garrus's turian rebel skill tree makes his Damage INSANELY good along with his armor piercing paired with a typhoon. Same with Ashley, Her solider skill tree makes her do over %100 bonus damage not even including the armor bonus Garrus, and Ashley took out a Cerberus mech, Banshees, and harvesters in seconds! I was playing on insanity, too!

I’d love this type of video for ME 1 and 2

I still enjoy taking Garrus to Grissom Academy because the first thing Jack says is about his face. Perfect introduction if you remember the Paragon option post Archangel recruitment mission in ME2.

Love the vid! I keep EDI with me because she's just amazing dialog. My only change to this list is Surkesh, bring Javik. Wrex and him have AMAZING dialog.

Javik has an interesting dialogue with Grunt on the Krogan Scouts mission.

You should make a video on where to find all your old squad for the citadel dlc party

have you done this for the other two games??? This exactly the video I need

Tali freaking out about spiders on the Krogan Scouts mission is pretty funny.

Citadel DLC, docks portion. I picked Wrex and EDI. Right as the mission started. Garrus: Awww... I wanted to go Ashley: I never get picked.

EDI/Garrus are also companions you should bring for a few extra lines in Grissom Academy if you did Overlord in ME2.

If you saved David Archer during the Overlord DLC, I recommend bringing EDI and Garrus to Grissom Academy for some unique dialogue.

Garrus on the Citadel 2 mission has a unique line in the mission where he calls for some C-sec members to see if they're there.
