My favorite videogame

In this essay, I’m going to talk about my favorite videogame, and explain its plot and  some characters.

Three or four years ago, I played for the first time Mass Effect, a sci-fi RPG videogame, on the PC platform. The game was aired on 2005 and since that moment it has become one of the most well received videogames.

Since the first moments that I played, I quickly fell in love with its well written story and complex and developed characters.

Plot:

The game is set in the year 2183; 35 years after humans discovered the ruins of an ancient race called the Protheans on Mars. With the technology from the ruins, humanity learned the secrets of mass effect physics and element zero, unlocking faster than light travel. Humans also discovered the mass relay network that threaded the galaxy, being able to cross thousands of light-years in a moment. Humanity began its journey in space, encountering various alien races and establishing itself on the galactic stage

You play as the commander Shepard, and your mission will be to destroy a mysterious enemy that threats the galaxy every 50.000 years…

the Citadel

Characters: (my favorite character)

Shepard was born on the year 2154, he’s a graduate of the Systems Alliance N7 special forces program, and is initially assigned to the SSV Normandy in 2183 as Executive Officer. Later, he becomes the first human to join the Spectres, an elite special task force for the Citadel Council (a council that represents every species of the galaxy)

Garrus Vakarian is a turian, a member of C-Sec's Investigation Division. He was born at Palaven, the Turian’s home world. Like most turians, Garrus had his military training at fifteen, but later followed his father's path to become a C-Sec officer. He was responsible for the investigation of Saren Arterius (the main villain), the Council's top Spectre, after the Alliance claimed Saren had gone rogue. Even his bosses told him that the investigation was over, he decided to defy the Executor's order and pursue another lead on his own. Then, Garrus joined Commander Shepard's team to help defeat Saren.

Urdnot Wrex, born at Tuchanka, the krogan’s home world, is a famous krogan mercenary and bounty hunter. Wrex is also one of the last krogan Battlemasters: rare individuals who combine powerful biotic abilities with the devastating firepower of advanced weaponry. A long-lived krogan who has had many adventures, he has heard of Commander Shepard on his travels, and respects the Commander as a fellow warrior.
