There's something about Mass Effect's fantastic universe of interspecies romances and sci-fi weaponry that really makes it stand the test of time, regardless of how much that divisive ending put off the masses for a good long while. One of the greatest moments in the entire trilogy comes not from a specific flesh n' blood, character, instead following the destruction of your once-proud vessel The Normandy in the opening scenes of ME2, the Illusive Man and Cerberus go out of their way to swing your allegiances in their favour, resurrecting the old gal and giving her a few new features along the way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vy1E4eX484o Thanks to that fantastic endgame space-battle from ME1 where Joker and the Normandy took down Sovereign, you were already pretty attached to the idea of piloting this supremely slick ship around the galaxy again, and when it came to unveiling exactly what surprise awaited you on the other side of that hanger bay glass, it was the perfect way to kickstart what would become one of the greatest games of all time.
