I couldn't resist...

After finishing Mass Effect 2 (total game time: 46 hours and 30 minutes), my husband and I started talking about how silly it was for people to send Shepard for somewhat inconsequential assignments such as the one on MSV Estevanico.

In that mission, Shepard has to go get a data from a crashed Alliance ship that is teetering over the edge of a cliff. At every step you take while on that ship, you risk falling over the edge and dying. So my husband and I laughed about how Cerberus brought Shepard back to life after spending at least $4billion on the Lazarus Project only to have him run errands and chores for the entire galaxy.

This comic strip is the result of the conversation my husband and I had. It is dedicated to all the like-minded Mass Effect gamers out there (I have clocked over 86 hours on this game and counting) and to all those who have, on occasion, had a conversation like the one that inspired this comic. Shepard should be doing important things in the galaxy - not run people's errands. XD

PS: I like the assignments but not the lame ones like go pick up data from a crashed ship or go save a crashing ship...

I thought that particular element (the teetering ship) whould have been much better served integrated into some other mission. like having to navigate through the ship as it was the only access across a ravine or such.

Yeah! I know right... Anything but THAT! I felt that it was such a waste of time and energy to even try to finish that mission...

Too bad you can't die on the mission, would've made you think twice about where you step.

Haha, Great! When doing this quest my heart almost jumped out of my chest, every time it started moving.

Me too! Then I quickly realized that you can't actually die in the mission...

I'm with you there. On these assignments I was like "Can't ANYBODY be doing this for me?!" Hell even the mineral gathering feels redundant. If EDI has the time to announce when you're launching probes and monitor your progress, why can't she just handle the mineral gathering for you?

Yay! Another who agrees with me! I was the same as you too - I was like "Er, why is it that Shepard has to do this again?" XD I think it's just to give the player something OTHER than shooting to do. It's fun and stuff but repeat that 200x and it's no longer fun. XD
