How Mythology and Pop Culture Influenced Mass Effect

From H25 sci-fi references to artistic nods, the Mass Effect series has numerous connections to the real world—this video, narrated by none other than Commander h25 com สล็อต​ Shepard (or Mark Meer if you will) himself, looks at some of them. For example, did you know that: Mass Effect 2’s Collectors were inspired by real-world insects. Okay, that one was pretty obvious.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); But how about the architecture of the alien races? Take the Asari homeworld’s futuristic spires and towers: they were influenced by the work of Santiago Calatrava, a Spanish (you guessed it) neofuturistic architect.

Clever! And the mythological influences don’t end there: the criminal organization Cerberus, the Shadow Broker, the Charon mass h25 com เข้าสู่ระบบ​ relay, and the planet Elysium all have conceptual roots in Greek mythos. That, and more interesting bits of trivia await in the video below. Questions? Comments? Contact the author of this post at andras-AT-kotaku-DOT-com.
