all things that are based on completely plausible scientific theory. We're talking about interstellar travel through mass relays, biotic powers, force fields, dark energy.
We celebrated the victories as if they were our own, we could feel the tension in battles as if we could really die, and we cried more than once along the way.Įmotions aside, what made us believe that Mass Effect was true, and that's what matters here, is the possibility that the technologies that are imagined in this series could very well become a reality in the near future. We really wanted to convince the Council and the galaxy that humanity is a race full of goodness, strength, and intelligence, and we did just that. You get so involved that you even imprint your own personality. You're a human, a second-rate being who tries to prove that he or she deserves the respect of all the Council races, and you are saving the galaxy. The first and most obvious is that the story itself and the way you make decisions within that story have a very significant level of emotional involvement you aren't a person with a controller in your hand, you are Shepard. It doesn't matter that the game plays out in the third-person, because for us, it feels as if we were reviving a dream, and the reasons for this are simple.
The truth is that this series is one of only a handful that have made us feel as if we were on another world, that has made us live its story as our own, and the reasons for this aren't to do with the quality of its graphics, nor with its spectacular art direction or the extra-terrestrial architecture. When we think of Mass Effect we don't just think of a video game, nor that we're sitting on a couch playing a fictional adventure.
