Mass Effect

My name is Commander Shepard and this is my favorite Mass Effect community on the citadel.

Rules & Regs:

  1. Don't be a dick, unless it's a really spicy renegade interrupt. But even then, seriously, don't be a dick.
  2. Memes are great - seriously, I need more Mass Effect sh!tposting in my life.
  3. This is a welcoming community for all stripes, let's just remember there's people on the other side of the screen and act accordingly.
  4. If you're here, you gotta post. Thems the breaks, kid.

Mass Effect 2 is full of brilliant stories, but it does a terrible job of setting things up for the third game.

@stopthatgirl7 But so too was it the case that BioWare themselves contributed to their downfall. The leadership were very open around the time of ME3's release about their desire to focus more on gameplay than story. I also cannot forget that crazy interview where the creator of ME said that they procrastinated on Tali's appearance, simply because they didn't want to make people upset, which is bonkers considering how unhappy pretty much everyone was with ME3 upon release.

Oh, BioWare definitely doesn’t get left off the hook. A lot of their recent mistakes have been entirely of their own doing, and a belief in “BioWare Magic” meant tons got mismanaged so much crunch was inevitable. Andromeda and Anthem are all on them.
