MASS EFFECT 2: LEGENDARY EDITION (2021) dev. BioWare
#i still marvel at how many bespoke vignettes ME2 would throw out without any combat loops or theme park layouts#sometimes they'd build a lil level and use it for nothing but ambient storytelling and mood#like that other one with the crashed ship or the solar shield#just pure fun-having experimentation. none of the underlying systems built for it yet they all came together from the surrounding choices#mass effect

They've filled the Normandy with people who look up to you in an effect to placate you and make you feel at home, but it's more alienating than if everyone hated you. They've given you your own private quarters but they make you feel alone and cut off from everyone. They say it's your ship, just like the one flew on before, and that you're in command, only there are doors that won't open for you and are locked tight. They parade before you a friend you knew who is so excited about all of this, but you didn't live through that and you're not over what you lost like he is. You look in the mirror and you're literally cracking at the seams and they tell you and only you can save the galaxy - enough that you were worth billions of resources to bring back - and you think about the soldier, the friend, you lost on Virmire and how nobody thought to bring them back. You're a ghost everyone is worshipping, a legend that everyone is clinging to, a soldier, a spectre, a saviour, a hero, but not a person anymore.

video game scenery: [40/∞] ↳ normandy sr-2 ◁ mass effect: legendary edition «Normandy» undergoes a further retrofit in 2186; although the retrofits are not completed in time before the Reaper invasion, she is repainted in the Alliance Navy colors of blue and white after reentering the hands of the Systems Alliance on Earth. «Normandy» is the Alliance's "tip of the spear" that punches well above her class, and continues to be touted as the fastest, the stealthiest, most advanced, and most iconic vessel of the Alliance fleet.

God I love how ME2 is filled with people who were MANUFACTURED. MADE. DEVELOPED LIKE MACHINES. Shepards a multi-billion credit product. Miranda was genetically engineered to be perfect. Jack was an experiment. You have to let Grunt out of his test tube. what a fun team to go up against evil machines; against Geth and against the Reapers. How apt. How terrifying. So many implications.

God I love Wrex. He's genuinely so insightful. Whenever I took him with me he's nearly ALWAYS the one who knew before it was obvious that we were heading into an ambush or that something wasn't quite right. When we met Vigil Wrex was the one who said as we headed down that he didn't think what was happening was Sarens doing. He says he knew Saren wasn't a good guy when he met him prior to the events of the game and he met him once for a few minutes. He speaks about only being good for fighting; but he was genuinely trying to do something about the genophage before he had to leave his planet AND he still DEEPLY cares about trying to fix it now even if he tells you it's a lost cause because krogans are too focused on other things. He claims his species is best at war and not things like science but he's just!! So clever and he clearly KNOWS on some level that a lot of what the Krogan experience is is based on their subjection/treatment in the galaxy. He enjoys jobs where his opponent is smart and good at what they do; and he is smart enough to be crafty and manipulate individuals such as when he got an employer to pay him to be a guard even AFTER he failed to kill the guy he was sent after. He is grumpy, but he cares about Shepard and he cares about stopping Saren. He's cynical and not sure that things can change for the better but he's also got this little nugget of hope in him that comes out so strongly at times. I love him. Best alien. Smart little guy. Best friend.
@legionofpotatoes coming in with the excellent character meta

#my own two cents irt to wrex and what i appreciate about his depiction is how the underlying tension with him NEVER fully goes away.#there is a good faith attempt by this incredibly twisted up dude to extend an olive branch to a foreigner who SEEMS to get his plight#but his trust never wades into unconditional savior worship. he maintains a healthy relationship with what friendship and camaraderie mean#within the incredibly vicious context of genocide that he has lived his entire life. and if you try to betray him in the second act of ME3#which is YEARS into your friendship at this point - he will straight up try to kill you in the street. an actual principled character#who never fully bends over backward to the player's morality but DOES conform aesthetically to trope dynamics - very deftly done#it is very difficult not to like him. all three krogan companions through the series are some of my favorite characters from bioware#mass effect

my favorite hero shooter? marvel rivals? overwatch? no. me3 multiplayer
#I miss my geth infiltrator visor swag I miss my krogan sentinel headbutts#andromeda was good too but it had too much of that frostbite sheen to it. too buttoned up#me3mp felt so janky and fun. random volus rolling around to the right. drell edgelord doing backflips to the left#it was so special. and compact and legible and fully in tune with the combat loop of the main game.#i look at footage from modern hero shooters and get a migraine from the visual noise in 0.5 seconds#with respect to Gamers everywhere I will never understand how you can sustain a match in one of those without passing out#mass effect
