"Mass Effect has been held up as a benchmark for not only the action RPG, but for thought-provoking, high-concept science fiction in gaming as a whole."
"The introduction of the dialogue wheel revolutionized the traditional RPG branching dialogue tree, while its embrace of romance options allowed for a lesbian relationship, still rare at the time."
"Amazon's show will take place after the original trilogy, focusing on a new story with a new cast of characters, making the world more accessible to those who didn't play the games."
"Peter Friedlander has asked for wholesale rewrites of the show's scripts in an effort to be 'more appealing to non-gamers.'"
