Did you know Mass Effect was originally designed as a Puzzle Quest spin-off? That’s not true at all. I’m just establishing a baseline for Did You Know Gaming‘s video exploration of true Mass Effect facts and Easter eggs.
They might not be as exciting as the ones I made up in my head, but that doesn’t make the facts you’ll learn in this video any less fascinating. Did you know…
- Mass Effect was conceived by BioWare developers drunk on the creative freedom of Star Wars: The Old Republic.
- Some 64 per cent of Mass Effect players are too kind-hearted.
- The Geth are immensely more save-able than the Quarians.
- Player feedback directly led to Mass Effect 2‘s faster load times, increased customisation options and hot, hot Garrus love.
- Krogan faces are based on wrinkle-faced bat faces. Very large wrinkle-faced bats.
- Fulfilling the development team’s wish to have an exclusively female race, the Asari feature head fins inspired by modern hair styles and blue skin inspired by Star Trek‘s green-skinned Orion women.
- A design for a male Asari was created, but why?
- The Silurian race was designed to resemble the classic grey alien look. Party member Mordin’s design influence was incredibly old Clint Eastwood.
- How much I love bullet lists?
They have even thrown in some cool Easter eggs at the end. I’ve got to find that space cow.
