A little late, but...
Thank you Mass Effect, for Ryder.
Don’t get me wrong. Shepard is awesome, a total badass, and a model of determination and strength in the darkest times.
But I honestly felt so much more connection with Ryder than I ever did with Shepard. Shepard is a highly trained soldier and ready for their challenges. Ryder, on the other hand, is pretty much the opposite. Ryder was almost totally unprepared for their role, and had a lot of high expectations placed on them suddenly. And having them overcome all those obstacles and succeed despite endless doubt really hit home for me.
So thank you, Mass Effect, for showing me that no matter how unprepared I feel, no matter how much I feel like I’m not good enough, I can still succeed and overcome the challenges in my life.
