this is one of the moments where i miss ME1,and see his sequels that wasted this amazing story potential,reduced to dust thanks to EA,that could have beaten Kotor, my favourite game ever.
look ME3 and Compare it to ME1,it's not even the half of his storytelling quality.
i listen to Vigil,while i watch this,that song remembers me of ME1 story and Tali

Kotor is hands down my favorite game, period. Though I do love Mass Effect, each one of the games in the franchise has flaws. Mass Effect 3 had a major flaw, 95% of the whole game.

agreed,Mass Effect had Huge Potential,even more than star wars,my dream was that ME becomed a very accurate Science game,while keeping the story quality and companion romance.and RPG elements of course.
but while i try to enjoy ME3,i can't just ignore all plotholes and charather-personality change,like Legion,accepting Reaper Tech
when i play ME1,i refuse to believe that Mass Effect went so low with story-telling quality,with a excellent game like this,but then i remember ME3 and 'ah it's true'
what makes me angry that people are blind to the game flaws,saying 'the game is epic until the ending',like the flaws are non-existant
don't get me wrong i like a lot ME,but i just don't like flaws
1)Zaeed-like Dialogue with all Squadmates,i would have preferred 1000X times Garrus Calibrations than that sh*tty system.*
2)forced Liara,trying to make you feel you chose the 'un-canon' romance if you chose another
3)Auto-dialogue*
4)cutscene incompentence*
5/Poor interactions out of combat*
6)too many Loading Screens and changing disks*
7)too many Fetch eavesdropping Quests ,i hate 'em a lot now,and make me feel like a stalker.*
8)secondary quests (not fetch quests)except companion-related are sh*t*
9)the journal,why screw up so hard the journal when was PERFECT in ME2*
10)choices actually didn't matter,even if you kill the rachni queen in ME1,Ravagers still appear in ME3,with Reapers resurrecting or cloning another rachni queen,only in-game change?slight dialogue variation and Ems score,you saved the council here's 70 EMS points,you killed the old council?no importance they still give you spectre status and fleets
you destroyed or saved the collector base?only difference?10 Ems points and pick a color ending first on red or blue
11)EMS,dumbest game mechanic ever,it's there only to fit the stupid multiplayer introduction and lessen the importance of your choices by giving them a number.
12)poor Priority Earth Battle Diffference,you have 3000 EMS or 5000? it's the Exact SAME THING,without showing your war assets fighting,i wanted to see Wrex and his Krogans charge violently Brutes,Rachni Swarming the ravagers,the geth falling from the sky helped by the quarians(if you have rescued them) and owning a Destroyer,or see Drell Assassins clearing a road breaking necks like Thane,see Major Kirrahe Fight near you with his men,Asari Commandos Devastating a Banshee,the old mercs from ME2 help you.

Balak guiding his forces,the council joining the fleet,remains of the C-sec led by captain Bailey once you arrive on the citadel resisting or falling to Reaper Advance,and of course All ME1-2 Companions,if available,join this final mission and show them actually fight,not hologram goodbyes.
13)stupid excuses to make ex-Squadmates die or to don't join you (mordin is the only one i'm okay with)why Legion doesn't have a Backup?the Reaper Code doesn't fully repair itself after few seconds(conseus mission)?Grunt was Free after the Rachni Mission,why put this James Vega to replace my favourite Krogan squad member?
14)finally the ending,worst ending ever,EC only changed from worst ending ever in Very bad ending.
15)plot getting really retard*
16)the Normandy get its ugliest design ever,dark,with red light,junk everywhere,exposed circuitery,bed room that looks like a cargo hold,useless loading screen between war room and Bridge,lots of useless empty rooms*
17)Garrus X Tali Retarded Hook up,worst decision ever after character personality change*
18)The ship actually hasn't any interaction,except the Weapon and armor stock in the cargo,and makes me lose my desire of exploring the ship,finding the best point to see,rest,ecc ecc.
19)shitty music replacing the old fantastic OST that was played in ME2 Captain's Quarters

20)you cannot speak with your companions about the old times,or just chat in general if they have something to say,while you can hear them speaking to each other of the old times,or things in general,when they all they have to say to you is 'Hey' 'Hi' 'thank you' 'not now' repeated until you're tired of having companions.even my LI all she has got to say is 'hi',i can't even call the LI to my private quarters to speak to her,with multiple dialogue,investigate,maybe repeatable in the future,or just sitting with them on the couch or on the bed like ME2(see flaw affilietied number 1)*
21)Cerberus Mania 2.0 we face them more than the Reapers
22)Harbinger Missed role
23)Dumbed Down Reapers ME1)God like entities,free from weakness,capable of everything,and fearful,ME2 God like entities,free from weakness,use organics as 'reproduction'

,ME3 Zerglings-like cannon fodder machines.controlled by a non sense idiotic Ai starbrat,reapers now they don't use organics for reproduction or they not seek their destruction,but to 'preserve them' to prevent Organics creating sythetics that kill organics,or to Prevent an Impossible thing that will exist until life will be no more,the CHAOS *
i wanted more party interactions,not only combat improvements
*=not present in ME1 or ME2

Vigil's scene was the best moment in the whole Mass Effect universe. I cry everytime I talk to him on my ME1 playtroughs. He also has the best musical theme ever.

I like the contrast between Sovereign's scene, where you talk to "it", and how menacing it is, then the conversation with Vigil and the music gives you a eerie hope, that maybe you can win against the Reaper threat

It is no coincidence that he is called 'Vigil'. He is the last surviving essence of the Prothean race - tasked to maintain a silent, solitary vigil over their ultimate sacrifice and contribution to galactic freedom. He is the very last of the Protheans.

That was probably one of my favorite parts of the game, learning the reason behind everything and the fate of the protheans. The room looks like a sanctuary. It looks lonely too, which makes me feel sorry for Vigil. If he weren't a VI.

N7Dovahkiir [2010-11-02 15:47:28 +0000 UTC]

My jaw dropped when Vigil told the true reason of the Citadel and it Keepers and surprised when he told about the strike back of the Protheans when the Reapers cleaned up the race. Vigil is such a great character!!

Nice work

Wow, excellent! It's very dream-like and I think that suits the idea of what Vigil represented in the game. While the meeting with Vigil (and Vigil itself) was fleeting, it did give Shepard insight into the motives of the Reapers.
