From Wikipedia<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\nMass Effect is a science fiction action role-playing third person shooter video game series…<\/p>\n

The original trilogy largely revolves around a soldier named Commander Shepard, whose mission is to save the galaxy from a race of powerful mechanical beings known as the Reapers and their agents, including the first game’s antagonist Saren Arterius. The first game sees Shepard investigating Saren, whom Shepard slowly comes to understand is operating under the guidance of Sovereign, a Reaper left behind in the Milky Way tens of thousands of years before, when the Reapers exterminated virtually all sentient organic life in the galaxy as part of a recurrent cycle of genocide for an unknown purpose. Sovereign’s purpose is to trigger the imminent return of the Reaper fleet hibernating in extra-galactic dark space, restarting the process of extermination. The second game takes place two years later, and sees Shepard battling the Collectors, an alien race abducting entire human colonies in a plan to help the Reapers return to the Milky Way. The final game of Shepard’s trilogy centers on the war being waged against the Reapers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I can just see someone playing this game and coming to the realization that it reflects a painful part of reality — that different peoples on average have different gifts.<\/p>\n

From Wikia<\/a>: “The Milky Way is populated with dozens of races. Some are valued members of Citadel space, working to build a better galactic community; others are lawless, caring nothing for the Citadel Council’s edicts; a few are outcasts, but all are unique.”<\/p>\n
