it's so fashy

I've played these games so much so I have no illusions that they are mostly insane liberal propaganda but this always stood out as particularly vile

I occasionally look up the like full dialogue trees of conversations on youtube and anything remotely involving Batarians have like 75% just straight up fascist comments (like literally you see slightly modified quotes of actual fascists)

idk just kinda disheartening to see so many ppl just go fully along with it and have basically nobody be like "hey maybe don't"

    The entirety of Mass Effect 2 feels like the EA marketing department heavy-handedly trying to make the series more appealing to Xbox bros. MORE VIOLENCE, MORE COOL ACTION, MORE SEXY BABES, MORE EDGE! The first game kinda nailed a cosy 90s science fiction TV show feel. I assume EA worried it seemed too nerdy and uncool

    Just look at what they did with Garrus. In the first game he's an unsure rookie cop that Shepard can nudge towards becoming either a goody two shoes good cop or a reckless loose cannon. Then you get to the second game and none of it matters because he left his job to become the fucking Punisher on a crime planet. He's also filled with rage because his vigilante team was murdered by criminals
