The end of yet another Mass Effect. As the door closes on Mass Effect 2, I can honestly say I really did like it - even if it did just feel like “find people to help and make them be your friend” quests.
I was also glad that Calhoun’s suspicions were true.
1) Calhoun Shepard isn’t great at making speeches. Sure they’re needed from time to time, but she prefers to be a background voice rather than the main focus. Ironic considering how she likes to make entrances.
2) Calhoun taking grouchy grandpa and questionable biotic woman with her.
3/4) Calhoun finds out why the Collectors where only collecting human bodies. Frankly she was disgusted and upset that she had been so slow to react.
5) The Illusive Man offers unhelpful commentary. Calhoun wanted nothing more than to turn around and strangle the man after he suggested they only get rid of the collectors and use the ship for tech advantages.
6) The escape! The entire time thought I was like “oh my god I’m going to lose another crew member!” But thankfully Calhoun’s allies are pretty damn strong.
7) Calhoun was used to hanging up on the Council, she was frankly missing it. There was no greater feeling than telling Joker to kill the feed.
8/9/10) Despite Calhoun’s blowing up of an entire galaxy...the Reapers are still coming. I’m sure this is her contemplating what the hell is going to happen next. But for now...she has to turn herself in for committing a genocide.
