It's been a good few years since reports surfaced Amazon was looking to adapt Mass Effect for television, but finally -…

    Booo. I don’t trust them to handle the Mass Effect universe. Not to mention the entire point of Bioware games is player choice, and that has zero player choice. Idk, maybe first contact war or something, things that are already set in stone - but I don’t trust anyone to handle my baby anymore

      Amazon did very well with The Expanse and Fallout, they could pull this off.

        With Expanse they kinda just financed the production that was already running, no?

        Thougj that’s beside the point. Amazon does have some good stuff and while scepticism is warranted, I try to stay a cautious optimist until some bad signs appear.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_(TV_series)#Production

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallout_(American_TV_series)#Production

          I feel like they’re not very comparable. Production really screwed over Halo in a way that never could have happened to Fallout because of how protective of the IP Todd Howard was. Only time will tell if the same issues plague Mass Effect as did Halo.

          Imagine The CW’s “it’s not a soap opera for young adults we swear” TV writers got hold of a beloved fan favorite fantasy series and decided to rewrite it for TV

    If you are wondering if Amazon will do the series justice, look at what they did to my poor wheel of time

      Amazon: Who is the dragon? It could be any one of them!

    Just stay far the fuck away from the games main storyline. At best, vague references to Shepard. There’s no way to do that right without alienating the existing fanbase(though I know, they don’t care about us).
