The Mass Effect Trilogy (Dev: Bioware)is arguably one of the greatest video games ever created. Unrivaled play. Exquisite graphics. Intricate storyline and character development of which most television and movie studios can only dream. It also broke barriers by being one of the first games that let you play as either sex with whatever amorous inclinations you may have.
The female characters are exceedingly pleasing when it comes to pure aesthetics, but what makes them even more awesome is knowing that when it comes to taking out a platoon of evil, synthetic creatures; cracking the security system of an enemy base; or saving the universe from forces beyond human comprehension; they are on equal footing with any male protagonist ever imagined. But still, regardless of political correctness, am thinking it's ok to take the time to simply appreciate the curves. Enjoy!
One can play Shepard as male or female. There's alot of standing around in elevators in ME1. I prefer the female.
Jack. Deadly. Possibly sociopathic. And her outfit? Leather straps. The rest is mostly tattoos. I’m okay with that.
EDI. Stands for "Enhanced Defense Intelligence." And has a dry sense of humor that would make any Vulcan proud.
Samara. Asari Justicar. Nearly a thousand years old. I'd very much be interested in a Spring/Autumn romance.
Ashley Williams. You don’t want to make her angry.
And to close things out...
The Mass Effect Trilogy is almost unrivaled in the entertainment realm. Am actually on my third play-through right now. Am certain that doctoral dissertations could be written on it, covering everything from ethics to psychology to cross-cultural moral relativism. One gets so caught up in the minds and lives of the characters it’s easy to say that there is almost nothing else like it out there. But still, if one has an appreciation for the female form, the following image, which repeats in many variations throughout Mass Effect 2 (and possibly ME3, depending on what choices you make), is probably one of the driving forces for the trilogy’s popularity.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you...
...the hindquarters of Miranda Lawson. Potentially one of the greatest renderings of the human form through CGI.
Ever.
