 ...it feels like someone got some cyberpunk in my space opera.

Is that necessarily a bad thing? I personally like mixing up science fiction genres as it always seems silly to me that cybertech in stuff like GitS is so much more advanced than its equivalent in something like Star Wars.



And it's not like BioWare has been low on the cyberpunk before. You have the geth, who are very much cyberpunk, along with the numerous cybernetic implants you get as upgrades (yeah, actually pay attention to what someof those do to your body) and, of course, the whole way that biotics work (hint: it involves thousands of nodules placed along your nervous system). Sure, it's a bit more blatant with Kasumi, what with the graybox and all, but it doesn't seem out of place to me. Not in the slightest.

Specifically what I was talking about is the Japanese characters, heavy use of cybernetics, and thievery/espionage as a major theme of her missions.  Cybernetics all on their own isn't cyberpunk, and I wouldn't really consider the Geth to be a cyberpunk story element.

The cybernetics in ME go beyond those in your average space opera, though. It's not just like artificial limbs or eyes. It goes a lot deeper than that.



Your mileage may vary though.
