Commander Shepard travels through the galaxy fighting evil and, the most enjoyable part, building relatable friendships and romances with a host of characters. They created one of the best game series and possibly one of the greatest science fiction franchises in any media in history. The original concept was envisaged as a trilogy that would have ‘cinematic power’ and what they ended up with was far more than that. The first game features over 400,000 words and more than 20,000 possible lines of dialogue. Knowing each race’s history and culture gives you the chance to have a rich experience and feel like you are actually there in a way that few other science fiction franchises can claim. Races like the Turians, Krogans, Salarians, and Asari all have complete histories that players can explore through the game. The Mass Effect universe is one of the most well-developed science fiction landscapes ever created. What they ended up with was, according to them, the equivalent of five full novels, or twenty feature films, just for the first game, and it shows. Star systems, planets, races, and history all had to be done with enough depth to make them believable. Starting with the planet Earth and humanity in the year 2183, they had to create a massive amount of detail for the Milky Way galaxy. Bioware wanted to create a big and memorable story, and this was a massive challenge that took nearly three years to complete. It was directed by Casey Hudson and the majority of the first two games were written by Drew Karpyshyn. This article was written by guest author, Richard Austin.Ĭanadian game developers, Bioware, came up with the concept for the third person shooter and RPG, Mass Effect in 2004.
