sorry ur feeling stressed, but congrats on the job!! here's a lil q for distraction: what are your favorite things, big or small, about mass effect? what draws you to it? always love hearing ppl's thoughts on this :')

oahhhh thank you!! its actually not that bad, my work is literally 30 mins away from me and i dont have to get up super early, so i shouldnt even complain lol

so some of  yall might expect that id say “im here for jane and garrus banging”… and i mean thats true, but actually my favorite thing about ME and the reason i replayed ME 1 so far 17 times (its not an exaggeration) since may 2017 is that i

the universe of this game. especially in the first game. I dont know, its just so… hopeful? makes me kinda sad that i was born too early for space travels. and yeah, i know, there are pirates, mercs, war conflicts, tension between diffirent space species, all-powerful ancient machine gods that love to kill everything etc, but the atmosphere is just so pleasant and kinda somehow nostalgic, there is so much cool lore (tbh this game sorta made me realise that i dont really like fantasy anymore, before ME i was deep into dark souls, dont really have any desire to return to it anymore)

also tons of great designs!! i love SR-1 Normandy interior so much aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa and garrus hot  

uhhhhhh shoutouts to my girl jane shepard? love dis bitch (i mean i like sheploo too but i associate him with ytps and memes and its kinda hard to take him seriously for me anymore. fun fact my first ever playthrough of me1 was with sheploo, then i switched to jane and everything was over from there)

also shoutouts to voice actors (this is actually super important for me, must be anime upbringings lol), almost everyone is great. its rare, unfortunately

and the small thing im 100% sure no one would relate to, i really like how Feros kinda looks like a location from Blame (bonus points if shep and pals wear hydra armor for full cosplay)

idk maybe it just me, ExoGeni hq inside also really looks like a level of Megastructure or something

also garrus hot
