Just finished listening to this week's bombcast and I really like Jeff's idea of a Star Trek style version of Mass Effect, where its the same characters having different adventures and none of that saving the galaxy crap. Don't get me wrong, I love Mass Effect, but the whole overarching story is probably the weakest part. What makes Mass Effect so good, as least for me, is the universe, characters, and idea of just traveling around the galaxy.
So what if some years down the line, Someone decides to pull a Star Trek 2009 and just makes a new Mass Effect series in an alternate universe. Its the perfect excuse to have all the characters back and keep giving them new adventures.
Do I think anything I just said will actually happen? Probably not. But it's fun to think about. Would guys be interested in something like that?
As another fun aside, if you could have any episode of Star Trek done with the Mass Effect Universe, what would it be? I'd do the one where Data gets the emotion chip but replace Data with EDI.
