I'm sure others know about this but in my last renegade playthru I destroyed the first council in ME1(I don't recall if this was a graphic novel started ME2 game or a ME1 import) . Later, in ME3, the salarian councilwoman thanks Shepard for her job and basically calls the old council idiots. This is when she calls Shepard about Udina's treasonous actions.

Liara has eyebrows, but no other Asari seem to have them.  Just noticed that yesterday.

[CronoDragoon]

Well she is half-krogan.

 

...Who also don't have eyebrows.

 

I got nothin.

I know. Shepard looks stupid when he/she says 'really' on the shuttle when Anderson told Shepard earlier in the game.

Anderson kinda gives shep a sideways glance too, as if he can't remember that he might've mentioned it before.

 

Conrad will wink at broshep when he tells Jenna he and shep go way back. I may be wrong about it, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't wink at femshep.

Technically they are just the usual Asari facial marks, only in Liara's case they happen to look like eyebrows. I guess it's like how orcas have those white patches that look like eyes.

They look painted on to me

I recently discovered in Mass Effect 1 there's an extra little "cutscene" on Eden Prime. If you walk up to the railing behind the beacon, the camera pans out wide, overlooking the burnt ground left behind by Sovereign and your squad makes a couple comments. Despite having played through dozens of times, for some reason I never thought to go up to the railing before. On a whim I did so for the first time, and it was a nice little surprise.

 

Oh man... I... what? How can I have missed this? o.O

I know, right? Makes you wonder what other little things might be hidden away in these games.

Benezia has them too.

Citadel - Armali ad has Shiala's face (maybe touched up a very slight bit).

Citadel - Sirta Foundation's image appears like the Lazarus Project.

Citadel DLC - Ad banner with Kai Leng's upper face.

Citadel DLC - Ad banner with the real volus Biotic God!

Citadel DLC - Ad banner with what appears to be Jack's face (but touched up).

I recently found out that assigning a "bad" fire team leader (the first one) in ME2 gets your Tech Specialist killed and not the fire team leader.

There's also a ton of details in the Leviathan and Citadel DLCs that I missed before. For example, in Leviathan the cave paintings on Namakli show a bunch of natives raising spears towards the Leviathan while one native is lying prone on the ground (presumably succumbing to Leviathan's control). When the Leviathan shows Shepard this same painting later on while telepathically communicating with him, the painting is totally different: the natives have no spears, their arms are at their sides and they are not in apparent rebellion against the Leviathans.

This discrepancy can only be explained two ways that are reasonable within the story, I think - one: the Leviathans are so arrogant that they actually perceived their oppression as the lesser races being totally willing to submit to their domination. Or two: the Leviathan was deliberately trying to deceive Shepard by showing him a false representation of the image. Both possibilities are interesting to think about.

I also didn't know for the longest time that something actually happened when you let the countdown run out during the Arrival DLC.

I discovered a while back an annoying bug on the Normandy where if you speak to edi from a certain position shep freezes and can't move. It's roughly to her left rear as you face forward, on the dividing line on the floor.

Very annoying.

[AlanC9]

Lucky. I hit that my first game.

During the "car chase" sequence of LotSB, you fly past a screen advertising the latest Blasto movie at one point - you can see him firing multiple guns with his tentacles. Didn't notice that til my last ME2 playthrough.

[Cknarf]

At the Ardat-Yakshi monastery, immediately after meeting Samara, there is a broken elevator in the area.  There is a squadmate comment if you highlight it.  Never saw it til today.

During the car chase you also can see a wanted poster for Jack. I missed that on my first time through LotSB.

[KaiserShep]

Man I never saw either of those. I was so focused on keeping track of the car lol.

[SporkFu]

Same here. I keep meaning to look for it, but Liara always distracts me by yelling out "truck!" The skycar needs a dvd player.

[RenegadeXV]

After countless playthroughs, it was only on my last that I realised that you can actually use the M29-Grizzly in the Noveria garage when the Geth ambush Shepard.

 

[geth47]

I got a smile when she mentions that.

 

And if you pick Kasumi to lead the second team, Miranda comments they´re not trying to break into a vault. 

[themikefest]

I'm sure most may know this. If  Eve dies she will get a flashback(at least for me when destroy is picked), but Padok Wiks doesn't get a flashback if you cure the geneophage.

[geth47]

One thing I only recently discovered in ME1 is that if you do not inquire Ash if she saw a Turian, when you discover Nylus´s body she will be surprised and ask if you know him.

 

 

I also discovered that Miranda´s pale skin is because she´s a ghost. She even makes apparitions.

 

Try not making Jacbo´s loyalty mission on me2, finishing the game with miranda dead, and then doing the loyalty mission, and she will reappear.

 

Also, there´s an extremely funny moment in ME3 citadel, when you try to retake the Normandy with Javik and Edi. She claing to feel a little disoriented being disconnected from the ship and he tells her to be careful with the airlocks. 

 

On ME3 citadel, depending on your relation with traynor, the answers you can chose to defender her and provoke her opponent while she´s playing can vary a lot. If she saved grisson academy, if the reapers have taken thessia, if she was able to locate the cerberus main base.

If you romance her and do the Turian bomb mission she and femshep have a nice exchange of dialogue

Strange... I've never gotten that line to trigger before. Aside from a romance and the turian bomb mission, is anything else required? I've done both several times, still never heard that line though.
