Imagine that Reddit user’s surprise when he was using photo mode on Miranda’s backside only to accidentally discover Hackett riding atop the Normandy and peeking into Shepard’s quarters.

They actually did throw Engineers a bone already in ME2...
Unlike every other class in the game, the Engineer gets a 25% discount on ship and squad upgrades, meaning you have to spend much less time mining for ressources. So not only are they the only class to get a specific discount, but also the only class to get unique interupts!

One of my most memorable, and also one of the most heartbreaking in my opinion, details in the series is finding Charr's dead body in ME3 during the missing Krogan team mission. He was such a romantic and didn't really seem like a fighter by Krogan standards, so it's always sad to see

[edaraujo]

The detail about Jona is referenced in Dragon Age inquisition's DLC by Cole "It was the same boy. His mother on the ship, his father in their homeland. He grew up lonely, or didn't"

For the Mars Rover to appear in ME3 you have to walk through the radar dishes in a specific maze like path, there is a map online if you search. Once you walk the path properly the rover will show up.

I've always gotten Jack's secret end slide in my numerous playthroughs, even when I had high war assets. It was only after I decided to put the students as backing help did I get the other Jack Slide.

10:30 Once I chose the students as biotic artillery. Then checked about it on fandom. Realizing that it was too cruel for Jack, I felt like shit and immediately restarted the mission and chose them as back-rank support.
Edit: Jack also mentions this choice in citadel dlc while giving Shepard a tattoo.

The engineer trick in ME3 is more frustrating than anything. It is the only time in the trilogy that you get a real bonus or perk depending on your class. There should have been numerous situations like that throughout the game.

Wait, it was a tattoo? I always thought mordin had some natural cosmetic patterns like that of the asari.

[talo.lv]

its not necesary have low war assets to get the jack's student's graves ending, only punt them on front line :v

[joeymendez]

So Jenkins died so I can hook up with The Consort and Kahoku died cause of it got it

[thehucklebillyfenn]

I wish that the other tech focused classes, the infiltrator and sentinel classes, would also have the option to share the power appropriately. It seems disappointing that Shepards that still divert much of their skill set to technology would be considered “stupid grunts” by the story as per what Shepard said in the dlc.

This just speaks to the greater problem that classes rarely ever played a part in the story despite their clear ability to be relevant in certain circumstances. A biotic Shepard should be able to do things that we see EVERY OTHER biotics do within the series. An infiltrator shouldn’t approach everything like the forward focused vanguard or soldier classes. It’s just disappointing that the games seemed to have just been built for the default soldier Shepard.

Your EMS score has no impact on the end slide with Jack...
The only thing that matters to get this outcome, is your choice to put them on the front lines. The only thing that makes the slide "rare" is the fact that both Jack, Sanders and Mass Effect game design very obviously tells you what will happen to them if you go with that choice! So even if Support gets you 50 war assets, while Front Lines gives you 75, it's probably not a big enough difference to make people throw them into the grinder, especially with how attached Jack is to them

Remember one time when i said that the husk head from Bryson's lab could still be connected to the Reapers and they were using it to spy on Shepard's bedroom, well now we know, it was actually admiral Hackett. 🤣

[shayelisa]

I did not know that about Hackett being on the Normandy. That is hilarious.

[killers]

I love the engineer class in mass effect 3 in makes me feel like I have an army on me at all time ps I loved the omega dlc mission

[mgress]

Wow, never even put together those were her daughters. Still learning things after all these years...

[chriswoo]

Jacks end slide happens if you put students on front lines even with maxed war assets rating.

[DepressionShaman]

I'm playing through Andromeda right now. There are a lot of NPCs who are related to characters in the OG Trilogy. The Nexus' chief of security, Tiran is Nyreen Kandross' cousin-the female turian in the Omega DLC in ME3. Conrad Verner's sister works in a bar on Kadara Port. And the clan Drack belongs to is the same one who tries to get Maelon to cure the Genophage in ME2.

[BartlebysCorpse]

I quite like the Shifty Looking Cow. It's one of those old-school inside jokes a dev snuck in that has no broader significance, but gives the game a little bit of extra character.
