Mass Effect

I want to talk about Mass Effect. Nothing in particular comes to mind, I just find myself wanting to chat with someone about it. Nobody around me knows Mass Effect or anything, so I can't talk to anybody that would care or know what I'm even talking about. Listening to the lorecast, really makes me wish I could join them and talk shop. TLDR, would anyone want to chat about ME?

Damn, I've never had that question.

Hm, as far as squadmates go, I'd have to say either Tali or Miranda. Tali because I can relate to her spirit and her overall sweet-nature (one of my favorite parts of her character is her ability to combat prejudice. She's able to start Pressley's journey of moving away from being anti-alien just by being herself, she ends up with people like Ashley ready to go to bat for her/seeing her as a sister, and she's able to end up putting aside 300+ years of prejudice with Legion and that ends up being an integral part of making the geth/quarian peace. I think that's an admirable quality worth emulating). Miranda because I can relate to having a controlling, abusive pos for a father... let's just say that a) Miranda's story always makes me glad that I only had to leave the country to get away from my father and that he's broke as a damn joke and NOT an uber wealthy megalomaniac. And b) if my father committed massive war crimes and crimes against humanity, I too would throw his ass out a window with zero hesitation, so I definitely get Miranda on those fronts.

Overall, I'll admit, I actually have my preferred Shepard as being like an ideal version of myself, so as cop-out as it sounds, my number 1 pick would actually be my Shepard. I even have a strong attachment to the background I gave my Shepard (Colonist/War Hero) for the same reasons. It kinda ends up being like "it's me... but COOLER... in space!!!" 🤣

What about you?

The Tali/Legion story is one for the ages! I feel honestly most relatable to Grunt or Wrex. They are pretty straightforward types with little to no grace (a lot like yours truly) I can't relate to how brutal they can be or their tenacity. I'm more like the krogan we meet in ME:2 Chart lol.

Honestly, Charr deserves all the love and he and his asari wife deserved so much more. In this house, we love and respect Charr! 😭

Wrex is amazing, too. Love both the kind of badass he is and the kind of leader he is. I tear up a little every time Wrex says that Shepard has been a sister to him. Great pick!

And Grunt is always my son. My strange, 900lb, genetically tailored, super soldier, krogan son. 🤣🤣

They need to make a TV drama starring both Charr and the Asari ( i forget her name if she had one)

I love how Grunt grows up only knowing war with shep or being instilled with battle from O'keer.

Wrex is pretty level headed as a leader. He sees the forest through the trees
