On Mass Effect and worldbuilding

OK, this is late, sorry about that. I wanted to try to beat this damn thing – I’m playing Mass Effect. Yes, the first one. No, I haven’t played it before (if you don’t count an abortive weekend trying the Xbox version that went so poorly I sold the game back to Gamestop). I am at the end, actually in the last mission, but I thought probably I should write this up before it’s Thursday in my time zone, at least… So SF and gaming? Right?
