Mass Effect
Mar. 8th, 2012 02:00 amSo far, this game is living up to all of my considerable expectations. I am off for bed now, but i thought I would share my favorite moment so far (I am only about 3 hours in):
A bit of the premise: every 50,000 years, a race of beings called Reapers appear to wipe to galaxy clean of all sentient life in a kind of purge. As Commander Shepard, your job is to find a way to stop them. Most of the information you've gathered on how to do this comes from a race of advanced beings called the Protheans, who were themselves wiped out by the Reapers during the last purge.
However, in Mass Effect 3, you have the option of finding one of these Protheans preserved in a lifepod, and recruiting him to your cause. As you might imagine, as the last survivor of his entire race, thrust into a time when the galaxy is ruled by races who were once completely primitive, he is a little...well, let's just say he's having a few problems adjusting.
( Mild spoilers, a bit of light humor in the face of a war of extinction. )
And now at two in the morning, I am saving the game, and off to bed.
