They should scrap this idea and make a Mass Effect TV series instead.
I was thinking about this as I was driving home from work last night, and Mass Effect as a high-quality TV show would be
so perfect. It would be better than a movie because you'd have time for character development, and it would need a big cast like the games, so you could focus on a crew travelling around on their ship, politicians on the Citadel, the captain of the earth fleet, leaders of alien races on their homeworlds, and so on.
