In this video, we’ll be exploring a rare scene in Mass Effect 3 during the mission on Rannoch. This occurs if Tali AND Legion BOTH died or were not recruited in Mass Effect 2.

The end of Priority Rannoch is one of the most intense and pivotal moments in Mass Effect 3, as you take down a Reaper on foot and then resolve the nearly three century old conflict between the Geth and Quarians - one way or another.

This scene also features some of the best voice acting and writing for both Tali and Legion, which caps off one of the most memorable scenes in the entire Trilogy.

But what happens if Legion AND Tali are both absent from this mission - either because they died or were not recruited in Mass Effect 2?

There are a number of differences in dialogue - both on the Normandy and during missions and scenes prior to the end of Priority Rannoch. But I will explore those differences in separate videos which I will post in the next few days. Today I just want to focus on those final moments of Priority Rannoch.

Without Tali and Legion, both of their characters are replaced by stand-ins for this particular scene.

In Tali’s case, her role during this scene is played by Admiral Shala Raan, who we first encountered during Tali’s treason trial in Mass Effect 2. Tali often referred to her as Auntie Raan.

In Legion’s case, our friendly Geth has been replaced by a holographic reconstruction of his personality - which is simply referred to as the Geth VI throughout the course of the game.

At the end of the mission, you will need to side with either the Quarians or the Geth, as peace is not possible without Tali and Legion.
