The
Mass Effect franchise is one of the most iconic space opera epics video gaming has ever seen. In
Mass Effect, players take on the role of Commander Shepard. As Shepard, players explore the vast reaches of the Milky Way Galaxy. Everything starts off innocently enough, as Shepard journey’s to bring a corrupt Spectre to justice, before quickly spiralling into the ultimate battle for all of galactic civilisation. Shepard has affectionately earned the title of ‘commander’ in more ways than merely being a military ranking. The events surrounding the final chapters in Shepard’s military career defines what it means to be a true hero, to any and all – alien or otherwise.
