The moment in question was shared by Reddit user SirBigWater as they attempted to speak with the Elven engineer, Bellara. While attempting to repair the Eluvian mirror, the player's Rook can attempt to speak with Bellara, which will leads to a few canned catchphrases. However, once that dialogue has been exhausted, Bellara utters a phrase that will likely leave long term fans thinking of the popular Mass Effect trilogy companion, Garrus Vakarian.
The Origins of the Mass Effect Easter Egg
Bellara's reply left many in the comments laughing and drawing comparisons to both engineering-heavy characters. While both characters appear to be fans of calibrating things, the phrase could be originally heard in Mass Effect 2 when players would continually attempt to hear new dialogue from Garrus. Once exhausted of new options, Garrus would reply that he was busy and in the middle of some calibrations. The catchphrase quickly became a meme for those in the community, becoming a beloved aspect to the character.
With the long journey of Dragon Age: The Veilguard now at an end, Mass Effect is likely the next big game from BioWare. While the studio has teased information over the past year, Project Lead Michael Gamble has already spoken about some Dragon Age design choices that won't be making the jump. Specifically, the next Mass Effect will retain its photorealistic art style and maintain its more mature tone from the original trilogy, which should please longtime fans.
