When Mass Effect was released, it brought along for the ride excellent storytelling, a great cast of characters, pretty visuals, and top-notch voice actors. The game dealt players many surprises in that just when you thought everything was figured out, was safe, the game threw at you yet another jolt. It was a stellar effort.
