    Please don’t continue to beat this dead horse. What made Mass Effect great was Drew Karpyshyn’s ideas and world building, a solid cast of characters, along with a lot of superb visual design. Mass Effect had such an interesting, detailed, lived-in universe. The quality of writing in the games after the first is perfectly proportional to the amount of Drew Karpyshyn’s involvement, and it sharply declines after the first. A fifth game made purely out of a corporate desire for profit and not to tell a story is unlikely to yield better results, in my mind - see Mass Effect: Andromeda for evidence on that.

      Yep, that’s why I’m looking forward to Drew’s new game Exodus instead of this. But hey, maybe both are good, there’s Room for more than one action sci-fi RPG.
