Girls!

Well? Shepard does seem to want one of each.

We'e got some business on the Normandy to attend to today, let's see what's going on. We'll visit Wrex first in the war room.

So anyway, this is A Theme for this section of the game: "Oh, hell, girls can actually do a thing!"

And you know what? I rip on Bioware constantly. I rip on Bioware in my sleep. But, if you're going to take that theme and make a game, and have it be a good game? Bioware, full stop, they're the kids that can do it and not fuck it up. What the hell, are you going to trust Peter Molyneaux with it?

... I'm not sure I can name another game that's an outright feminist game. I think it has more to do with "games as an art is in its infancy" than "raar developers wear fedoras" sort of thing, though.

Comedy Senran Kagura option.

Eve's in the medlab with Mordin, let's go make sure she's okay.

(I have no idea why Mordin's talking to her about this. Is he trying to ... turn her on to get data? I don't ... eww?)

See, because krogans have four balls.

Let's talk to Eve.

Eve tells the story here about how she became a shaman: she was sealed in a cave with enough food for seven days. She had to get herself out, or starve and die. While she was digging, she found a crystal that she gives Shepard. The crystal never comes up again, don't worry too hard about it.

Hey, Eve, tell us about having the genophage!

See, this section of the game almost makes me think Bioware screwed up letting you play dude shepard. This is an incredibly female story. Do you seriously think this would have as big an impact on a guy? I don't think a man could understand that past, "Oh shit, that blows."

I mean, a man did make this, so.

See? What the hell is man shep even supposed to say about that? Other than tip his fedora and hit on her, I guess?

... never said Mass Effect 3 was perfect.
