LORE - Mass Effect Lore in a Minute!

In the year 2148, mankind happens upon a preserved cache of technology on Mars left behind by an extinct race known as the Protheans. After adopting this technology, mankind expands into the Milky Way galaxy and colonizes anything that moves with the help of a Mass Relay that allows space-faring races to instantly travel across the galaxy.

Thirty-five years later, you're aboard the SSV Normandy as Commander Shephard sent to investigate a Prothean relic. Oh, and a rogue Spectre, Saren, murders your other Spectre buddy and now you have to hunt him down.

Fast forward past all the dialogue and blue alien sex and you find out Saren has been brainwashed by the Reapers, an advanced machine race that lie dormant in dark space. All the tech lying around the galaxy belongs to them, including the Citadel which -- PLOT TWIST-- is a gateway for the Reapers!

So you uncover and defeat a single Reaper using the combined forces of all the allied races in the galaxy but - DOUBLE TWIST! - there are hundreds more napping in dark space. No big. That aside, you're the first human Spectre and the hero of all mankind--Yay!

You return in Mass Effect 2 only to be immediately killed but brought back to life by Martin Sheen to do his bidding. You're not really down but you kiiinda owe him one. You realize that a Reaper has been ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL of the Collectors, a race of crickets that have been abducting humans, which distracts from the fact that you can't do the sexy with that blue alien again and eventually settle for that girl from Chuck.

Passing through the spooky Omega 4 Relay, an epic confrontation occurs with a Reaper. But after kicking its ass and pissing off the rest of the Reapers, it's now your fault that they're gunning for Earth.

Good job. Have fun.

One does not simply fast forward past the blue alien sex.

One does not simply have mass effect in a minute

this isn't lore, it's a plot resume...

I love how they dressed Kaidan as Carth, considering their shared voice actor. Nice touch.

This... was a synopsis of the games. The Lore would have been shit like the discovery of the Citadel by the Asari, the creation of the Citadel Council between the Asari and the... uh... Mordin's race-people, and eventually the First Contact War between humans and turians. 

Honestly, this episode should PROBABLY be remade.

I love how the claw replacing Shepard's head was a Cerberus logo. For a secret organization they sure love sticking their emblem on EVERYTHING. Shepard was lucky they didn't tattoo his/her ass with one.

I LOVE the celebration picture after ME1, with zombie Ash and Carth instead of Kaidan. Nicely done.

I'll have to agree with you on that one. A lot of the lore though is like a seperate story altogether. They're interesting stories, but not many of them actually relate to the main plot of the series. Some however do and I agree that they could have been brought up. Like the Krogan genophage for example.

This lore almost makes me want to replay the games just because its so awesome.
Almost.
