    That's something I hate about all modern video games. They don't explore anything further to the left than "liberal democratic capitalism".

    Games like the Outer Worlds, Greedfall,etc would benefit from things like that.

      I haven't played the Outer Worlds as thoroughly as I have Mass Effect, but I remember the game letting me play a political terrorist. When I wanted to kill the capitalists the biggest obstacle was that the capitalists typically had expensive guns and a large security force.

      Fortunately, that security force was used to thrashing unarmed workers. I did my civic duty and gave the private security force a free lesson in how to block sniper bullets with your teeth.

          heh, ass-science hammer.

          I didn't use melee during my first playthrough. I wish it had a New Game+ mode, because I want to do a nightmare difficulty stealth melee run. Nothing like a knife to the kidney to inform the bosses that the people are feeling unrest.

            To be fair, the science hammer is barely a melee weapon, since the shockwave it outputs when you swing it does more damage than the melee hit does
