My name is Commander Shepard and this is my favorite Mass Effect community on the citadel.
Rules & Regs:
- Don't be a dick, unless it's a really spicy renegade interrupt. But even then, seriously, don't be a dick.
- Memes are great - seriously, I need more Mass Effect sh!tposting in my life.
- This is a welcoming community for all stripes, let's just remember there's people on the other side of the screen and act accordingly.
- If you're here, you gotta post. Thems the breaks, kid.
Other stuff:
- I hope to welcome all Rexxitors from r/masseffect, though this is not in any official way associated with them. Still, they're great, and Mass Effect is great, so I hope all Reddit orphans can find a cozy place here to talk about whether or not Leviathan of Dis is going to pull some shady ish.

Baldur’s Gate 3 this year really showed just how far BioWare has fallen.
Wonder how BioWare felt when they got out-“BioWare RPG”’d by Larian
I wonder if that’s why they so suddenly added another year to the development of Dreadwolf.
Especially in the game series that basically put BioWare on the map, that would be like Blizzard losing the Starcraft IP and another studio making Starcraft 3 and reinvigorating the entire RTS genre in the process, setting new standards for what an RTS is and should be.
It's downright embarrassing for BioWare.
I'm not sure they even noticed. These studio execs are far more obsessed with how to mint coin from Zoomers with the next freemium mobile game than they are with cultivating a quality franchise.
Hey there is worse: look at Bethesda and starfield!
I mean... the most negative thing I've heard about Starfield is that it's a bit empty, and doesn't meet the (insanely high) bar that Skyrim set. A lot of people I know bought Starfield at launch, played it through once or twice, and although they stopped after that they didn't have any really bad things to say.
Fallout 76 was a much worse game, with way more negative sentiment.
Eli5? I thought everyone loved that game, I didn't wanna try it cause I don't like turn based
Baldur’s Gate 3, by Larian Studios, is amazing. It’s basically old-school BioWare but with current-day graphics. It’s so good that it shows how much of a mess BioWare games are now, especially because BioWare did BG1 and 2.
Didn't know it was a different studio, thanks.
It's because bioware made 1 and 2. And they did it pretty well. A competing studio made 3 and whupped them
