Mass Alex: Mass Effect - Part 22

Excited by that thumbnail...

Finally! Pump the entire mass of Alex into my veins!

*sees thumbnail for this video*

........YEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!

WE ARE LEGION

LEGION! :)

WE ARE LEGION!!!

Ah Legion, such a great character.

Legion is gonna be in Smash Bros. right???

I've been forever fucked up when I learned that the voice of Legion is Wesker in Resident Evil.

The fact that you get Legion so late in the game and effectively only get to go on one mission with him is criminal. They really should have structured it so the thing that triggers the "countdown" for the final mission is something you do after getting the reaper IFF.

I love my son. Sons? He's a good boy. Boys?

He's a good boys.

Shep Shep Commander

This particular mission is one of the main reasons when I made a new Shepard and played again (I had sooooo many Shepards by the end), I tended to run a class that had Shockwave. Shockwave is sooooo effective against Husks.

Shepard Commander

The way those torsos shrink to nothingness is *very* unpleasant.

Did Alex just turn Zaeed into fucking Boomhauer?

Ammo powers are a toggle, you can just have them on.

Warp ammo is also way better than AP.

Alex, that nothing’s faster line Tali keeps saying is a reference to Balder’s Gate 2. Tali named her drone after a raccoon companion from that game. Chiktikka Fast Paws.

Cold Metal Superstructure Floating In The Void is my new Black Metal band.

@bananaofdoom: Yep, although I believe you can only have one active at a time so squad mates are going to overwrite it anyway (or was that 3).

Taking Legion on Tali's loyalty mission adds a ton of cool interactions.

I'm still weirdly mad they never used the special Grunt shotgun that they spent research points making.

Heck yeah! Cool stuff time!!

The Legionnaire

There was a hole.

Reave is the best power in Mass Effect until a certain DLC squad member in 3 gives you a nukeesque biotic attack.

Now begins the rise of Legion and Tali's drone army.

My Metal Boy!

Bringing Legion on Tali’s recruitment & loyalty mission leads to a funny moment but you’d have to know that’s an option.

I've only just now realised Legion is paraphrasing Optimus Prime with his "all intelligent life should self-determinate" line.

Goddamnit, this beautiful game.

Has anyone mentioned to Alex the awesome name that Tali gave to her attack drone? I feel he would appreciate it.

Someone should make a pool and take bets as to which characters make it through the suicide mission.

I encourage anyone who hasn't to take Legion on Tali's loyalty mission.

"Tali is accused of recklessly bringing active Geth aboard the fleet."

<Legion looks around nervously>

@foodmonster: Given that he's done the loyalty missions on everyone, it's all down to him making the right decisions on does certain actions in the mission (which biotic for the collector bees, who brings the survivors back, etc). As a result, I'm almost fully convinced he gets a full surviving team (maybe not the Normandy crew, it all depends).

Legion was of my favorite crew members.

For someone (some many?) who doesn’t strictly have a face it’s impressive how readable Legion’s expressions are using the moving parts of its hood thingy and the dilating shutter on it’s camera lens. Some developers must have put real thought into that.

@alex Please reassign that flashbang grenade you never use. You have more than enough eezo. =]

EDIT: Yay! :D

When the floor is green, the Geth aren't mean.

@i_am_a_robot: I just finished a run a few weeks ago and cannot agree more! I never connected the dots on bringing a Geth onto the migrant fleet until the squad screen came up.

yeah, same with Legions Sniper Rifle ... doesn't really matter though, on normal difficulty the game is a breeze. I mean, they switched out the flashbang for an ammo power they are most likely never gonna use since I have never seen them really reading the abilitys. On harder difficultys you really have to pay attention to who you bring on missions too. Have to face Blue Suns? Get people that are good against shields. Eclipse? Get biotics etc. Doesn't matter though, they are doing fine.

YEAH, my boy Legion!

@threeoct: I'm going on everyone surviving except for Mordin . If you do not take them with you into the final battle there is a random chance that they will die, loyalty or no loyalty. It's bullshit.

Finally.

We are LEGION because we are MANY!

Jeez that nuke gun just trivialised one of the most annoying sections in the game.

shepshep commander

(i have been looking forward to posting that ever since alex started up mass effect 2. the day has finally come)

Id love to know Alex’s favourite squad members in both me1 + 2 so far... Garrus + Krogan ftw

FINALLY
