The choices and actions transfer between the whole trilogy and sometimes the fate of entire species rely on your actions. The renegade and paragon system in the game (good/bad choices) is second only to my favourite thing about the series. My Jane was saving the galaxy with no distractions and kept her eyes on the prize. Biotic and a soul survivor, each lengthy council conversation was dismissed and each citizen in need cast aside. Take everything I used to describe John and replace with “takes names, kicks ass”, Jane was the polar opposite of Goody Two Shoes John and she loved it.

Then I began a play as Jane, and it was an entirely different experience. You know the sort – Captain America, Superman… Mickey Mouse? He was Captain Goodguy of the galaxy, righting every wrong, doing the right thing and generally being a hero. My first Shepard was a standard earthborn John Shepard, soldier.

Every part of the galaxy feels alive and lived in, and more importantly the actions you perform have an impact and consequences. The music, the ambience, the characters, the ships, the planets… I could go on for days.
