Mass Effect HD Part 142 "Vigil's Tale, Pt.1/2"

Taking an elevator down in the the very depths of the bunker, you meet an ancient VI, which calls itself Vigil. It tells you everything: the Reapers, the Prothean Extinction, Sovereign and what, ultimately, the Conduit is.

This is probably the most epic scene in the Mass Effect trilogy to date. Hopefully we'll see more epic scenes like this in Mass Effect 3.

@magnetite2 We can hope...

@goranarsic ME1 was...majestic, is the first word that comes to mind. This one scene, however simple, sets the tone for the entire game. ME2, although a great game in it's own right, can't come up with a similar scene that is so subtle yet powerful.

@terk0iz Yeah because everyone has to sound the same in a galaxy spanning empire.

How come he doesn't sound like a Nigerian?

Come on Bioware, lrn 2 continuity.

Mass Effect 3 seems like it's throwing out everything that was previously thought about the Protheans.  Quite sad, degradation of the series under the facade of game evolution. Disgusting. The leaked script, ugh.

Perhaps it was because ME2 didn't need to. The tone of the second game was different, and it had revelations of its own, delivered with pessimism instead of optimism. Take the scene where Shepard discovered the Collectors were actually Protheans. Would a 20 minute description of that have made it more frightening? The first game was about discovery and hope. The second was not.

Ya, mon! Dis be our VI, his name be Vigil. Be be tinkin' it som funneh stuff ta make him talk different from da rest of us Protheans. Rasta!

@padawanmage71 Majestic... yes, definitely. I think I might even like this scene even more than the very end, which was epic. As Vigil told its story, I couldn't help but think about what it must have been like for those last Protheans. To know they would die out, BUT still tried their best to help those who would come after. It was immensely satisfying to see that their sacrifice was not in vain.

@magnetite2 This scene still gives me goosebumps. Truly brilliant. I have no doubt ME3 will be great.
