The Lost Words of Mass Effect
"“You have messages at your private terminal.”
In Mass Effect 3, this single quote is repeated more than any other sentence to the player. Just approaching the the galaxy map will prompt Specialist Traynor to dutifully tell Shepard when new messages have arrived. Before the next battle can be started or additional exploration initiated, the player must first be told that extra exposition has been delivered to the in-game inbox.
Even with advanced technology like quantum entanglement holographic devices, peer-to-peer voice communication via omni-tools, and the intercom systems on the Normandy, the written word takes precedence."
