Technology advances humanity and the universe's species. Until they find remnants of an older civilization. Understanding they aren't the first or the last. Civilization operates in cycles. It reaches a point where it reaches its peak. Operating ancient stargates and a central system designed to summon the Reapers. The Reapers are machine operated and sentient, surviving in Deep Space. They're unlike other races in the universe, some of AI species. The Reapers reset the entire universe for the next cycle of evolution. I didn't play past 3, played 1 and 2, and I didn't buy the expansions for 3, except the one it came with. It gave 3 options on ending like Deus Ex. All were grim. All made sense. It didn't need more franchise.
The story was deep enough.
Quite similar to Babylon 5. It is also being televised shortly. It had been attempted slightly with the Expanse. But I hated Expanse. Like I have also loathed Foundation, it isn't the books. Mass Effect is different in its own unique ways. But it's a story otherwise retold.
Yes kind of and very much so. It is also that the core space station is the same more or less. The plot very much the same, of rival species and humans. They do also have a spaceship like the Enterprise. But there's this big huge space station like Babylon 5.
Except there are very clear differences. Mass Effect is entirely about war in the games. And some archeology. Peace through war finding allies and solving their disputes often pursued by others with their own agendas. The Reapers are an extinction level event for the entire universe once civilization reaches a point to access a similar space station to babylon 5, connecting through ancient stargates, and then by accident and design upon understanding the alien space station more, it is like the UN or Babylon 5, they summon the Reapers, reseting the entire cosmos. How they're summoned is by understanding they aren't the first possibly off previous civilization finds, and the space station itself, an AI entity.
Expanse went to pieces. Is was so bad, awful, but it had its story's investment. What was the ancient civilization before. Where did the stargates fully go. Yawn. Until I didn't watch the last season, it was unwatchable. It opened with remember when we acted like saps, but what's changed. Lives and stories of I don't care. Honestly after that opening no thank you. Not worth an ending. It wouldn't be answered. Yea they went around on their little spaceship playing messiah, saving the day, until gaining even more powers. It was just cheese. It has been the format of every syfi, except they were just bad at it.
The title Mass Effect, is provoking. Plus the rather deep story about its mythos.
But then they fucked it. It just had to make silly add ons and franchise because the fans were crying for more or something.
Worth the first 3 games. But they're rather samey, in activity and combat. However the story isn't, it progresses. Enjoy. It has different choices and narratives from those choices. Also different classes.
Series, when Televised. I just don't know. Haven't seen much recently that I have liked. It has offered real political undertones and has often butchered away any content. Frankly it has become so God damn awful. I often look for anything pre 2010 to watch.
With the game you choose male or female. Yea they'll put something contrary in if it's anything like the feakshow today. Facepalm. But fingers crossed.

Apology for any spoilers.
