Saga’s laws are immutable. Science-fiction saga’s laws are irreversible, cruel and merciless.. but so very very epic and spectacular! And a soft, magic and natural first part is always followed by some dark, complex and bringing suspense second one. This is the way the ideal movie sequel to
Star Wars «The Empire Strikes Back» was created, the same is true of the perfect second part of the Mass Effect game. Moreover, if to take into account the fact that vector of setting has greatly changed its direction towards noir, darkness and epos, the heritage of Mass Effect hasn’t been lost. You can import save files from the previous title; familiar design, favorite characters and music recognizable from the first chords – all can be found here. Of course the music has changed so as to match the grown sequel but it hasn’t lost its charm and a slight flavor of space naiveté.
