The rune dangled upside down in the vastness of the mind. Suspended somehow. The hunter opened their eyes to the soft blue glow of a lantern. Small guides basked in it’s warmth amidst the coldness of the night. The hunter was unsure of where they were. Memories felt fleeting as they wondered if they were in a dream...or nightmare. Shadows begin to dance in the hunters memory, reminding them of purpose and dreams before. Ah, yes. Yarnham and it’s shadows lay behind them. All vanquished, all freed from the night.

Why Mass Effect: Andromeda is the Best Mass Effect Game
I liked it most. That's it. Seriously though, I don't really understand why Mass Effect is hailed as a paragon of video games. There were times--especially in the first game--that I thought the dialogue was bland, or stale. Liara in particular seemed very flat to me: like someone tried to project their idea of a woman onto a character, rather than basing her on an actual woman. She clearly existed for fanboy appeal, and I love that some people love her--I don't stand for character hate, as a general rule, and even hesitated to call the dialogue bland--but I think her fans are very brave to look past the obsequious pandering and love her anyway.
