The rune dangled upside down in the vastness of the mind. Suspended somehow. The hunter opened their eyes to the soft blue glow of a lantern. Small guides basked in it’s warmth amidst the coldness of the night. The hunter was unsure of where they were. Memories felt fleeting as they wondered if they were in a dream...or nightmare.

Why Mass Effect: Andromeda is the Best Mass Effect Game
I liked it most. That's it. Seriously though, I don't really understand why Mass Effect is hailed as a paragon of video games. There were times--especially in the first game--that I thought the dialogue was bland, or stale. Liara in particular seemed very flat to me: like someone tried to project their idea of a woman onto a character, rather than basing her on an actual woman. She clearly existed for fanboy appeal, and I love that some people love her--I don't stand for character hate, as a general rule, and even hesitated to call the dialogue bland--but I think her fans are very brave to look past the obsequious pandering and love her anyway.
