But there really isn’t another game like this, that’s done what we’ve done, so that is kind of an amazing accomplishment. So we did look at which characters would make the most sense to survive that Mass Effect 2 suicide mission.īut that was a debate that raged hotly through the entire project about who should live and who shouldn’t.Īnd would I want to do it again? If you ask me today, the answer is no, because I know what it took to get there. The only time I remember looking at the data - and I don’t even know how much it had an impact - was figuring out what default choices would be set for the story if someone hadn’t played Mass Effect 1 and 2. And I think that comes out in the characters and I think that’s why our characters are as so loved as they are. So for me, I think that’s I enjoy most about it, that I can take situations that I’ve drawn from anywhere in my life, real life even sometimes. And the things that the characters are going through isn’t restricted to that kind of sci-fi genre.

I can draw from Downton Abbey to a Western to anything.

I think for me the easiest part is that while it is a very Sci-Fi game, in a very distinctly Sci-Fi futuristic world, but the characters are so real, to me anyway, that when I’m writing for a character, other than maybe the context of the situation they’re in, I can draw from anything. The hardest part is taking all of those possibilities and weaving them into a singular story, one that’s fantastic for everyone, no matter which choices they’ve made in the past.
