Garrus: All right my turn. What’s the first order an Alliance Commander gives at the start of combat?
Joker: Uh, I give up.
Garrus: Correct!
Joker: All right big guy. What do you call it when a turian gets killed by a horrible spiky monster.
Garrus: Friendly fire. Come on that one goes back to Shan-Xi.
Joker: Gotta respect the classics.
Garrus: How many humans does it to activate a dormant relay?
Joker: 602, 600 to vote on it, one to ask the Asari for technical help and one to ask for a seat on the counsel afterwards. How do you know when a turian is out of ammo?
Garrus: He switches to the stick up his ass as a backup weapon. Why does the Alliance hire pilots with brittle bone disease?
Joker: You’re shitting me! The turian military has one about me?
Garrus: Oh, absolutely. I heard it myself from a private back on Palaven.
Joker: All right why does the Alliance hire pilots with brittle bone disease?
Garrus: So their marines can beat someone in hand-to-hand drills.
Joker: Damn, you need to tell James that one. Hey what’s the hardest part about treating a turian who took a rocket to one side of his face?
Garrus: Figuring out which side took the hit!
There’s an infinite credits exploit with Doctor Michel, but it takes some time to pull off. You can skip talking to Anderson and the Council in ME2; nobody ever mentions it. Your answer to Miranda in the shuttle in ME2 is what decides who’s humanity’s ambassador, not your ME1 decision.
A properly-specced Dark Channel on an Infiltrator will kill a banshee in less than 30 seconds on lower difficulties.
If you start your game in ME3, Feros is literally never referenced except for a report on the Thorian in Dr. Bryson’s lab. The Cipher is never mentioned.
Scorpion rounds (and sticky grenades) fired into the floor make quick work of Guardians who step on them. With enough time and belief in yourself, you can get the Mako up the hill on Therum; the geth at the top won’t attack unless you’re out of the tank and that fight is supremely easy (spawnvehicle works too if you’re on PC with console enabled).
Stasis can one-shot one of the final scions on the platforms in ME2; it’ll just fall down into the chasm when the platform moves away. Speaking of, those scions are bugged and will never attack you. The music they used in Mordin’s loyalty and recruitment missions is the same music they use on Benning.
Suddenly I realized I shouldn’t have reblogged this without adding some. 😛
Miranda is so good at her job that she does not have to be loyal in order to survive the the fireteam leader position in ME2.
The drunk group of soldiers talking in the foyer of Purgatory are the teammates of Dominic Osoba’s son.
The PTSD-ridden asari in Huerta Memorial killed Joker’s little sister on Tiptree.
Rebekah and Michael (the arguing widow and brother-in-law in Citadel: Family Matters in ME1) appear in both of the subsequent two games in ambient dialogue — and share a last name with the Illusive Man’s “best-kept secret,” Oleg Petrovksy.
There are space pigeons on the Presidium in ME3.
Mordin makes casual reference in ME2 to ocular flashbangs being more effective than poison pills for suiciding agents — and one of Liara’s Shadow Broker messages in ME3 is the transcript of an abortive interrogation in which a Cerberus trooper used exactly that.
Did you let Rana Thanoptis go on Virmire and Korlus? Bad call — she was actually indoctrinated, and ends up committing suicide after setting a bomb that kills five asari military officers and four civilians.
I’m sure I’ve got plenty more. 😛 I love this series.
You can requisition a gun for the PTSD-ridden asari in Huerta Memorial after she asks for it from the Spectre terminal (because some people miss that), which is the last bit of new dialog you can get from her
okay you know how in the citadel dlc (unromanced) garrus tells you that if you accidentally set off a timer you didn’t know you had to enter the code 6492 before it goes off? I was wondering if that was a random number or if it had some sort of meaning and
