Reading From the Sacred Texts Mass Effect Fun Facts How did we get into Mass Effect Story The Pirate of Tsushima @TheIcePirate - Why was that the ending that @bioware picked to finish the trilogy with? Seumas MacIsaac @FamousSeumas - Favourite side mission(s)? Favourite character(s)? Favourite random thing that are carried over throughout the Trilogy? Mike @BlazeKnight0923 - Why do you think they half-backsided the DLC characters in Mass Effect 2 so hard? Ashley or Kaiden? Wrex or Grunt? Paragon or Renegade? Male or Female Shep? Which character that didn't make the Mass Effect 3 roster, would you have most liked to have in your squad at the end? Mechanics Todd Oxtra @OxtraTodd - Do you wish they had kept the game mechanics the same as #1 for all the games or would you have liked all the games to be in the style of 2 or 3? Mass Effect Andromeda Seumas MacIsaac @FamousSeumas - What do you think of Andromeda after all these years?

Final Thoughts Seumas MacIsaac @FamousSeumas - Am I the only one who think there should be a strategy game based on Mass Effect? Something akin to XCOM or Gears Tactics. I just think that gameplay would fit well with the Mass Effect Universe. Seumas MacIsaac @FamousSeumas - What are your thoughts on the recent reports of Amazon making a Mass Effect Series? TPR - As someone who is typically foreign to the RPG genre because of the sheer amount of time it takes to complete many of them, like 45+ hours of commitment, how do the mass effect games land on that spectrum individually? I’m much more keen to jump into games when the total playtime doesn’t exceed about 25 hours cumulatively. Something about that faster paced progression makes me value the time sink more. I know on the episode where you both discussed RPGs to try out, fire emblem awakening was a good example of this clocking in at about 20 hours according to Ryan. Anyway, excited to hear your thoughts!
