Mass Effect is quite possibly the most squandered IP in history.
>Diverse and Expansive Lore out of the gate
>Original Near Future Sci-Fi setting
>Unique Alien Races
>Near infinite potential for genre types stories and characters
>Completely focuses on the Shepard Time Period and then the mess that was Andromeda
I sincerely wish this franchise nothing but the worst going forward. Mass effect could have been the next Star Wars/Trek but they flanderized a lot of elements starting from ME2 and actively punished Renegade players. The refusal to make any type of 4X game or strategy game in general was completely short sighted. Much of the pre human contact lore is amazing.
