reasons the first mass effect game is feral
you can dress your squad in matching pink and white armor
you can force a man to give you an omnitool you might not be able to use
when you land on a planet you literally just drive ur tank out the back end of the normandy and hope you land on all four wheels
sometimes the mako gets stuck on a rock and then u have the restart the entire mission
the implication that you are driving up an almost 90 degree cliff sheer with three people in it
your boss/dad punches people to commit treason and then you can nominate him to be all of humanity’s representative
you can just call the council and hang up on them and the fact that the devs know people did that is referenced in the games after
“the colonists don’t know what they’re doing throw these neutralizing grenades at them instead. punching them also works.”
the fact that to get from ilos to the citadel u drive ur terrible space truck directly into a mass relay and it FLINGS you at the citadel like a slingshot
mass effect 2 and 3 are also kinda feral in their own ways but they’re like please do these organized missions and help ur friends and we have a special shuttle to take u everywhere and later we have a guy who will actually fly you places and help you and everyone knows you by name but in mass effect 1 you talk to people and they’re just like who the fuck r u loser and then you let the rachni queen go
it’s fucking incredible
