Whats BioWares approach to breathing life in the science fiction through the Mass Effect series?
One of the derivatives in how we approach delivering any kind of story, let alone the story of Mass Effect or science fiction, we’re inspired by. We certainly are inspired by a lot of different science fiction movies, games, and novels. The team collectively probably have watched everything there is to watch, read everything there is to read, and played everything there is to play. We love a lot of the great classics. But the way we are inspired by those things, we try to think about common principles, common guiding lights that we can look to for inspiration and we really put customized spin on them and fit them into a universe we think is pretty unique and differentiated from anything else out there that’s in science fiction futuristic kind of game. The net is something that’s feeling very familiar and at the same time it feels very unique, and I think that the team has achieved that. The galactic map of the first game allowed for a sort of episodic approach to storytelling. Shephard
