Taking on the entire 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Mass Effect trilogy is a truly enormous project. Beating all three games would take around 100 hours of your life, give or take. There's no wondering why players miss content they would have really enjoyed because they just weren't willing to put another 10 hours or more into every game.
Not to mention, as an RPG, Mass Effect is built to pull the player into the story. There's not always enough incentive for you to justify completing side quests or exploring every nook and cranny when the big, exciting plot is just waiting for you! Thankfully, that's what a second playthrough is for. We're here to outline all the hidden Easter eggs you'd probably only catch on your second time through.
10 ܫ Shepard VI 🔯
If you were too busy trying to, you know, save the world during Mass Effect 3, you might have missed this woman on the Citadel who is selling a VI of you. Players with a little more time to spare walking around on their second play💧through can find her in the Docks: Holding Area, near Cargo Hold: A, where her little shop is set up. The Shepard VI is displayed prominently and if you ask the owner to activate it for you, the mini-Shepard can say a bunch of Shepard-esque things for the player.
9 ဣ The Vancouver Skyline
During the Mass Effect 3 introduction, keen-eyed players (or just regular Canadian players) will notice that the city looks oddly familiar. That's because it's designed to look like Vancouver, a large city in British Columbia. BioWare started as a Canadian company, after all, and the 2010 Olympics, held in Vancouver, had also just wrapped up, so Vancouver was recognizable worldwide, not just in Canada. You'll notice a number of Vancouver buildings in the skyline, including a rather famous one known in real life as "Canada Place."
8 🍸 Legion Becomes A Cerberus Assassin
Legion has a number of references to๊ꦛ other IPs (intellectual properties) in his story, but this is by far the most heartbreaking. During the course of Mass Effect 2, the player has the opportunity to sell Legion to Cerberus so that they can study his tech.
If you import a save from Mass Effect 2 where Legion was sold into Mass Effect 3, Legion appears as an enemy. During the Priority: Cerberus Headquarters mission, you fight through a number of enemies, but on the second playthrough, when you're less panicked about cutting them all down, you may notice that the Geth opponent who appears is named "Legion Assassin" — and looks strikingly like your old friend.
7 🎉 Mars Rover 𝕴
This Easter egg may be the ultimate "don't notice it till later" on this list because the person who put it into Mass Effect 3 had to finally when they didn't see anyone talking about it. Turns out, at the start of the mission on Mars, you can head through the nearby solar panels in order to168澳洲幸运5开奖网: find a miniature version of the M𒊎ars Rover — and it even nods ꦉat you once you approach! Needless to say, fans have been🦂 absolutely enchanted.
6 ౠ ꦑ Ashley Williams And The Evil Dead
Ashley has multiple references to the popular movie franchise "The Evil Dead" in he♓r character. First, and most obviously, her name is Ashley Williams. The character played by Bruce Campbell was named Ashley "Ash" Williams. It's fascinating that they pulled this character's entire name for a reference. Then, if Ashley is brought to Virmire, she'll talk about shooting with her "boomstick" — that's the nickname that Ash Williams gives to his shotgun in The Evil Dead.
5 💝 N7: Abandoned Research Station Assignment
In Mass Effect 2, the player can do an optionalꦅ assignment called N7: 💧Abandoned Research Station. If you weren't bothering to do all the optional content on your first playthrough, you might only catch this Easter egg the second time around.
Shepard and their squad must discover what happened in this research station and why it seems to be under high-security lockdown when no one is there. As you journey through, you'll realize that the station's VI (virtual intelligence), killed the entire crew upon realizing they were planning to shut it down. This plot is a clear reference to 2001: A Space Odyssey.
4 Liara T'Soni, aka The Doctor
If the player owns the Mass Effect 2 DLC, they'll get to do the Lair of the Shadow Broker mission, in which Shepard's old companion, Liara T'Soni, needs help tracking down the elusive Shadow Broker. During the quest, players may catch the Shadow Broker comment to Liara: "You travel with fascinating companions, Doctor." This is a reference to the famous television show from the BBC, Doctor Who, in which an alien who calls himself "the Doctor" travels around with human "companions" solving mysteries in the universe.
3 The Blasto Movꦺie
On your first playthrough of Mass Effect 3, you may have noticed an advertisement for a Blasto movie in the Citadel. Blasto as a character is a reoccurring joke: he's a Hanar Spectre, meant to be laughable because of Hanar's generally peaceful personalities. This character is itself a reference to films like Lethal Weapon.
However, if you are intrigued enough to click on the ad during your next playthrough, you'll discover that it's actually an audio script for the Blasto movie, about eleven minutes in length in total.
2 💟 Jack Becomes A Phantom
This Easter egg relies on a few key things happening, which is why one is more likely to spy it in their second playthrough. First, Shepard's biotic companion Jack must not have died in Mass Effect 2 — a save where she is alive must be ported in to your Mass Effect 3 game. Second, you cannot rescue Jack before doing the quest Priority: Citadel 2. If both these criteria are met, Jack appears as an enemy during Priority: Cerberus Headquarters. The phantom you would have fought is renamed "Jack." Even worse, she also screams "I will destroy you!" which is something that Jack says during Mass Effect 2 during combat encounters.
1 Collectors = Storm Troopers 🐲
During Mass Effect 2, the Collectors attack the Normandy (technically for the second time — the first time was when Shepard died). As your crew preps for the imminent Collector wave to burst on board, there's a camera shot in which they are all aiming their guns at the door. This is a reference to Star Wars, when Rebel Troopers in the first movie are waiting for Storm Troopers to blast their door open. On a first playthrough, you'd probably be too anxious about the danger that is quite literally knocking down your door for the reference to click.
