Hormone shots and Soy lattes by the truck load to cope with how they were hemorrhaging talent.This game makes stalker look stable. How is there so much jank? What did they do for 8 years?
Good point.For some reason they don't have a lot of huwite skin tones. It's like ME:Andromeda all over again.
Actually, though, the weird part about Mass Effect no one realizes is that the entire world setting, especially from its companion novels, is anti-white in a way that's insanely creepy, with the lore being that as humanity formed a global society to confront the alien invasion and reach to the stars via Mass Relays mankind kept racially mixing and White races became all but extinct (this is literally the way they describe it in so many terms) and yet the features commonly associated with White races--blond or red hair, lighter skin, green eyes, etc.--were being grafted back into humanity via vanity surgeries like "skin lightening" and genetic alteration.
So the reason there's more and more racially ambiguous people in each Mass Effect game isn't just because the writers/devs were always leaning hard on SJW representation stuff. It's more to do with how, literally, in-lore, White peoples are almost extinct and mankind is one big mud pile of genetics which keeps artificially grafting genetically out-bred racial traits back into itself.
The novels and the games, if you pay close attention, keep lauding mankind as superior to all other alien races because of the incredible genetic variability among each person, hence why the fast-talking scientist Mordin basically says that racist (speciesist?) stereotypes among alien races makes sense since there's barely any genetic diversity among Asari, Korgan, etc. so you can tell how smart one of them is by looking at them, whereas you can't with humans.
However, in the novels and in the games, it's hinted that mankind will eventually become racially homogenous like the alien races because the global society has totally overcome any racial preferences (and because said preferences can just be genetically/surgically augmented in anyway). Couple this with what Mordin said, and...well you'd have a recipe for a post that'd get you banned from half the internet.
TL;DR Mass Effect was a dystopia all along.
