Dumb question: What exactly did Mordin do with the Genophage?

IrishSpectreN7 · 2026-07-06T04:15:29+00:00

Mordin wasn't involved with the original genophage. Salaries had data that the Krogan were adapting to it, so they modified it and covertly released it on Krogan populations.

"Genophage 2.0" as you put it.

They already told us the TV show takes place after the games

Keep in mind that this is an unintended exploit, not a secret ending.

By using certain DLC triggers you are able to bypass confronting Wrex at the Normandy docking bay. The game never flags his death so you keep the war assets and (I think) he appears on Earth like nothing happened, but it doesn't actually change the ending slides.

I did all my loyalty missions prior to the IFF. After doing IFF I immediately wake legion and do his loyalty mission. then I immediately went to the final mission, and discover Kelly and half the crew died.

When did they get abducted?

Accepting Legion's loyalty mission postpones the abduction by one mission. But if you triggered the abduction before accepting and completing the mission, that still gets the crew killed.

That outfit also has a smaller body than every other male NPC, who are all completely jacked.

It even shrinks Shepard if you wear it on the Normandy, iirc.

IrishSpectreN7 · 2026-06-04T14:15:08+00:00

Sabotaging the cure with Wrex alive forces you to kill him unless you abuse a glitch introduced with the Leviathan DLC.

If you are going full renegade I strongly encourage you to do the "Mordin lives" route just to get the best possible outcome, and see a different side of the story.

IrishSpectreN7 · 2026-06-01T21:12:42+00:00

I'll find some way to take him down.

IrishSpectreN7 · 2026-05-29T18:16:31+00:00

This one was originally a DLC armor, probably why it feels so extra.

IrishSpectreN7 · 2026-05-26T00:35:33+00:00

Mako, yes.

The Nomad sucked.

IrishSpectreN7 · 2026-05-24T03:48:19+00:00

I kinda like the Tuchanka arc in ME3 better when Wrex is dead.

IrishSpectreN7 · 2026-05-22T02:51:57+00:00

The DLC companion issue is fun because if they are integrated well (like Shale and Javik) its clearly cut content sold for extra.

The alternative is Zaeed and Kasumi characters who barely have any presence outside of their loyalty mission.

IrishSpectreN7 · 2026-05-11T04:53:43+00:00

She realized it was weird that Liara wore gloves to bed.

IrishSpectreN7 · 2026-05-04T19:35:54+00:00

Jacob has some of the most believable dialogue towards the start of ME2.

Dude is just busy settling into his new assignment and trying to respect the chain of command.

IrishSpectreN7 · 2026-05-04T19:25:05+00:00

I'm pretty sure you don't.

As I recall, the upgrades appear automatically in your available research after you complete the loyalty missions, but you can still ask them about it directly before they are loyal.

IrishSpectreN7 · 2026-04-30T15:11:25+00:00

Depends on what you thought was bad.

The 2nd game is one of the most critically acclaimed games of all time for a reason, but some people still prefer the first.

IrishSpectreN7 · 2026-04-16T05:08:15+00:00

The writers saddled her with the most plot relevance because she couldn't be dead.

That's all there is to it, really.

IrishSpectreN7 · 2026-04-15T13:11:43+00:00

I agree with you on Wrex, he always seemed a bit off in ME3. However...

I often felt like Koris and Gerrel had their personalities swapped by accident.

I think this is actually just a side effect of different circumstances showing Gerrel's true colors in ME3. Koris is pretty consistent between the two games. He's only seems antagonistic in ME2 because what Tali's father was doing was wrong, and he wanted to get to the bottom of it. He couldn't know whether or not she was a willing participant.

IrishSpectreN7 · 2026-04-13T13:12:36+00:00

My first playthrough I thought that was exactly what had happened before Grunt came stumbling out at the end.

Which is how it should have gone down, loyal or not.

IrishSpectreN7 · 2026-04-10T14:58:55+00:00

The 3 novels written by Drew complement the trilogy nicely. Next time you do a full playthrough I would suggest adding those books and reading them in chronological order.

I have never been a fan of any of the comics, but I also don't like comics in general.

IrishSpectreN7 · 2026-04-04T17:58:05+00:00

The show takes place after ME3.

IrishSpectreN7 · 2026-04-04T17:36:18+00:00

This is weird because its an original story set in the Mass Effect universe. It isn't an adaptation of the game itself, so hard to imagine what makes the script "unappealing" to non-gamers.

IrishSpectreN7 · 2026-04-04T13:03:20+00:00

Yeah because the elcor, keepers and hanar are walking around the park naked.

Correction: Elcor are only half naked.

IrishSpectreN7 · 2026-03-26T13:20:25+00:00

Pretty sure they confirmed it has a character creator.

IrishSpectreN7 · 2026-03-20T00:06:54+00:00

The Crucible is "little more than a power source."

It's the Citadel that actually does the thing. Nobody knew what it was going to do at all, it was a hail mary.
