It dawned on me just now that mass effect is a game that ignored all the precedents set by mario. it was developed from the roots of text adventures rather than arcade machines like doom and half life. That's why it doesn't have a jump button and the mechanics are so specific. They're not making a stage for you to jump around on until you achieve a goal, they're making a story for you to experience. Thankfully the mako and hammerhead sections invalidate everything I just said.
