In Mass Effect 14, the Reapers and the Milky Way races will decide to settle their differences with a friendly kart racing tournament.

The best part of the ending was how Mac Walters said the galaxy was supposed to be a wasteland post ME3.

Yeah, but my favorite part (other than the dev repeatedly dying at the beginning) was Ryder and Liam taking turns hanging up on the mission's villain mid-rant while the two argued about something or other.

DAInq is kind of like the bizarro Bioware game when it comes to companions because while all the Mass Effect games you can't wait to switch out Ashley, Kaiden, Miranda, Jacob, and James, in DAInq you're given Cassandra, Varric, and Solas right off the bat. Boom, best three companions right there.

Miranda and James were perfectly acceptable squadmates :colbert:
