It takes me about two hours to create, delete and then recreate my character until I'm happy. Interesting to see this side of the game.

This run was brought to you by Logitech Frictionless wheel mouse

Takes me that long alone to scan those ******* keepers.

Legendary video, @Letterswords ty for insparation, I've spent so much time in this game and got some WR's in this game after watching this particular run back in the day. So nastalgic

Loving the new animations. The design this year is really freaking good.

Less than two hours? I'm just getting started after 2 hours.

the second mako skip on liaras planet. first time i played the game when i was like 12 i saw the opening and i remember thinking "i can totally get the mako through there." and so i stumbled on it completely by chance

What an enjoyable speedrun! I love the commentary! Awesome job guys.

I'm a little disappointed that Letterswords is pronounced Letters Words and not Letter Swords.

Actually, Mass Effect 1 notoriously has a problem where the game will force use of the lowest resolution textures on various, seemingly random objects, no matter what you set them to. Garrus is one of them. Also the game handles loading its textures really poorly so you get texture and LOD pop-in during cutscenes REALLY often. This is a terrible port.

40:00 I once got glitched out when walking into that elevator due to when it snaps my characters in place, it actually caused me to clip beneath the elevator, and I was stuck walking in a circle around the elevator on the ground inside the elevator shaft, and I was soft locked as a result.

Just completed mass effect and thought I'd watch this. Wish I knew about the grenade to run faster.

ME1 just has more points per level than 2 or 3. They really simplified the leveling up in the sequels.

1:09:55 I did that by mistake,just thinking that it would be funny to try

On Mass Effect Legendary, they made the rock at 1:09:20 a lot harder to get through but if your adament, you can get through.. unfortunately, they also made it so when you take the mako to the grand fight at 1:10:40, they Ai is not affected by it. I was a bit bummed but i was entertained by how they basically just laughed at the player by being like "haha even if you get the mako through there, its not gonna be handed ona silver platter anymore!" Still, the fight is a lot faster with the mako.. Which measnthe faster run will always be on the original

Rofl now I know why everything turned to black blobs on Noveria... Also I don't see what is wrong with ME3 (happy endings are boring). Andromeda on the other hand is pretty meh so I agree on that one.

Such an odd game to speed run...

Do it on insanity and I'll be impressed.

This looks like Mass Effect if it was released on the original Xbox.

>Arrogantly laughs about not bothering to know the story. >Dies near the begging of the game. Kek

It hurts to see ME1 way more complex game and rpg mechanics and then think about it how the series and Bioware went to complete shit.

I love Mass Effect 3, I just really don't like the ending, it's good but the Starchild felt like a kick in the balls. Either Saren is right or the Illusive Man is right. Both of which we spent an entire game fighting against. or you can pick the (in my opinion) best options, Destroy or Refuse. Sadly, refuse is an even bigger kick in the balls, especially when you've gone all the way to get 100% readiness. Nope fuck you, Reapers win anyway. Destroy is not as big a kick in the balls considering you can actually kill the Reapers, but I would've preferred if we could still kill the Reapers if we refused the Starchild's choices. I also would've really liked it if they instead of that implemented the Indoctrination Theory, because that is thought out pretty well. But nonetheless, I still think this trilogy is the LOTR trilogy of games. And all 3 games are a billion times better than the crap Andromeda was. And the worst part is is that they just completely abandoned it.

I’m glad this guy isn’t doing new game plus. I saw a run where someone did and I stopped watching because in my opinion it’s not that special if you’re already leveled and have good gear

They should remake the trilogy using the gameplay mechanics Of Andromeda

Mass Effect 1 is one of my absolute favorite games ever. Sadly EA managed to destroy it, bury it, dig up the rotting body and displayed it for open ridicule. :(

40:10 lmao no, pretty sure the game is just optimized for Intel because their CPUs are more popular and until Ryzen people didn't care about AMD for many years. It's called poor compatibility on the devs part.

"shoutouts to intel for making processors compatible with older games!" it's because they change so little over the last decade! lol half joking, but i mean >.> AMD is advancing so fast for a reason... anyways, back to this dope run.

This game is OK, but Andromeda is objectively better in every way. If you don't think so, it's probably just because you are afraid of new things or you have a closed mind. Take it from me, I'm older so I'm much wiser.
