Hmm, if you want to go through the species in Mass Effect: Turians: Militarists, Collectivists, Materialists Well, that's my interpretation of the Hierarchy. They're no drones, they are individualists, but compared to humans, they're collectivists. Humans: Militarists, Individualists, Materialists Actually, humans & turians are pretty much twins.

• Mass Effect First Contact War

After waiting 5 years for another Mass Effect game, even though admittedly the game series had logically concluded, Mass Effect: Andromeda arrived to a mixed response from gamers.

Mass Effect Peaceful First Contact Fanfic

YouTube is full of thoughtful comments (vitriolic rants) and some did make fair points such as quality of animation and plot issues. It was noticeable that at the conclusion of the game it did not leave you with the same feeling, as per Mass Effect 2/3, a sense of loss and attachment to the characters that you might experience after the end of a good TV series.

Mass Effect First Contact War

Was it the right game to continue the series? At the end of MassEffect 3 the player had four choices that lead to quite differentoutcomes. The Game studio of course might have to make a choicebetween them for a continuation story (do they know which choicepeople made?) as they did for Deus Ex: Mankind divided. So, the story continuing in another Galaxy, removedfrom the Mass Effect 1-3 story, and also escaping the possible impending reaper cataclysm, made logical plot sense.
There were many good points in the story such as characters Peebee, Drack and Jaal. Many wow moments such as the underground Remnant system, the Architect, the crashed spaceship on Eladaan and the Dyson sphere. Some disappointments such as only two sentient Andromeda species and no cities. Also, much improved Tempest navigation system and exploration using the Nomad all-terrain vehicle. The Archon did not seem as ominous and overshadowing as the Reapers. No vehicle based chase or battles. Oddly, there was no funeral for Alex Ryder?
The beginning of the game was perhaps a bit limp and would have improved by taking a leaf out of Mass Effect 2 - start with a dramatic crisis: Ryder wakes from cryo-sleep after being revived by a cryo-tech due the a collision between the Hyperion and the Scourge. Several teams of Kett scouts have boarded and are attacking the crew and stealing cryo-pods..
The story left many mysteries such as source of the scourge, the Jardaan, Ryder's mum, the murder of the founder, the Quarian et al ark and the identity of the benefactor - presumably this is in a DLC.
Still, it does beg a question whether this was the only option and perhaps there might have been a (possibly) better story - The First Contact War. The back story to Mass Effect 1-3 stated that humans had discovered ancient tech on Mars that aided their technological development and the discovery of a Mass Effect relay just outside the Sol system. Humans encountered the Turians and set off the First Contact War. The story would actually be an opportunity to consider the early days of characters like Anderson and the Illusive man, and the origin of organizations like Cerberus. Who knows, perhaps they will..
