Eight Things You Might Not Know About Mass Effect

Did you know Mass Effect was originally designed as a Puzzle Quest spin-off? That’s not true at all. I’m just establishing a baseline for Did You Know Gamingā€˜s video exploration of true Mass Effect facts and Easter eggs.

They might not be as exciting as the ones I made up in my head, but that doesn’t make the facts you’ll learn in this video any less fascinating. Did you know…

Mass Effect was conceived by BioWare developers drunk on the creative freedom of Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Some 64 percent of Mass Effect players are too kind-hearted.

The Geth are immensely more save-able than the Quarians.

Player feedback directly led to Mass Effect 2ā€˜s faster load times, increased customization options and hot, hot Garrus love.

Krogan faces are based on wrinkle-faced bat faces. Very large wrinkle-faced bats.

Fulfilling the development team’s wish to have an exclusively female race, the Asari feature head fins inspired by modern hair styles and blue skin inspired by Star Trekā€˜s green-skinned Orion women.

A design for a male Asari was created, but why?

The Silurian race was designed to resemble the classic grey alien look. Party member Mordin’s design influence was incredibly old Clint Eastwood.

How much I love bullet lists?

They’ve even thrown in some cool Easter eggs at the end. I’ve got to find that space cow.
