I've read it all - the whole bloody document. It's pure brilliance. I hope they indeed recreate the entire series, and if not, recreate Mass Effect 3.

By the way, nice Act I you got there, Arcian.
Eden Prime:
-The idea for a space conflict is awesome. The fact that you decided to put in Kadeci mercs was enough to make me speculate on their aspect. (since they're insectoid, it makes things much easier. Bipedal insectoids. A detailed speculation on their looks is coming soon.)
-Jenkins' death was very emotional. It's better like that than the n00b death.
-The leads to begin the investigation were... well, this is bigger than just mercs. Why? One word: Shadowhawks.
Mission 2 coming next!

1: I chose the space conflict because the inside of a ship allows some fun mechanics that doesn't work as well on Eden Prime (introducing the various skills), and plus because you get to see Sovereign's power straight away.
2: The kadeci vaguely resemble mantises, and are the currently tallest species in the galaxy. Which might explain why they feel so superior to everyone else.
3: I got the idea of Shepard's helmet being damaged and Jenkins giving up his to save Shepard's life at the cost of his own, which makes his death much more poignant than "Oh well he ran out like a moron into enemy fire". And that way he can be remembered as a genuine hero than the guy who... well, "ran out like a moron into enemy fire".

What do the Iolons and Mutaru look like, or the other new minor races? Agreed that Jenkins' sacrifice actually felt like an emotional moment.
I like how Act 1 is going, investigating Saren at several locations, likely with most of them used to introduce groups like Cerberus or characters that will be squadmates later on, only to later find out he isn't the bad guy. Javik's surviving army is definitely going to shake things up.
The entire script is pretty fantastic, and I can't wait to see what comes next

What do the Iolons and Mutaru look like, or the other new minor races?
The Iolon (like krogan, plural and singular is the same) is a short mammal species standing just a tiny bit below the volus. They look like slimmer koala bears with slightly longer snouts, a large and sensitive nose and six large eyes covering almost 360 degrees around them. Their entire bodies is covered in short, fine fur.
Their ears are agile and quite large in proportion to their size, and their hearing is extremely good. Somewhat unique for a mammal, they possess two sets of antennae on their head that senses temperature and pressure changes through delicate, transparent hairs distinct from the fur on their antennae.
They have canine fangs in the front and on the sides of the mouth, with molars in the back for chewing plants. They have six limbs with koala-like hands/paws, all with six digits - four regular fingers and two opposable thumbs, making them excellent climbers. Each digit has a short claw.
They also possess a venomous spur within a sheath just below the hand on each wrist that can be ejected about the length of their wrist. The venom paralyzes locally, and is only lethal if injected into vital organs. They also have three sets of long spines on their back containing the venom as well, to protect their backs and dissuade larger predators from swallowing them whole.
The mutaru look similar to their creators just the same way LOKI mechs look similar to humans, but just like mechs and geth there are other forms of mutaru synthetics that look vastly different. They had a very distinguishing trademark trait during the First and Second Galactic Wars - a single, red eye a'la Hal 9000 that inspired dread and terror in their enemies.
As for the new minor species, I have yet to really imagine how they look.
I believe that if you MUST have an early sacrificial lamb in your game, at least let their death mean something. BioWare did this right in Kotor and DA:O, but not as much in Mass Effect 1 and DA: Awakening.Charcolt wrote...

Okay, Mission 2 review:
-Poor Council. Now that they are more competent, the Kadeci begin insulting them. Okay, it's only Yvash, but still...
-Mission 2 is a loooooong investigation, but when it comes to putting the pieces together, I approve, especially when there are twists and turns.
And here comes the bad news: While I was writing the second chapter, well, let's just say that writer's block is very awful. Especially for me, because when I stop for one hour, I lose my interest. I think I may have to start anew.

Yvash'juun is pretty much a giant ****** who takes any opportunity he can to deride his galactic rivals, but he's not stupid enough to cross them, above asking for their help or below giving them help. Even his people are pretty evenly divided between saints, half-n-halfs and total pricks. Though the overall culture of the Imperium holds itself far above the other nations, and because they discovered the protheans at such a late date, they hold themselves equal or at least close to the protheans as well... which might be trouble when they meet Javik and his remnant army.Gemini Freak wrote...

I always thought the investigation into Saren was resolved too quickly. Now Shepard really has to earn that Spectre promotion.Gemini Freak wrote...

Hey, don't worry: At least it leads to a major update. I'm sure that even without writer's block, newer readers would be confused with the document and the fic telling two different stories.

You just speculate. I didn't state I don't like it. As you can see, I even stated it's "INTERESTING", but that the ME story happens in the LAST QUARTER of the 22nd CENTURY.

I pushed history forward to give the Alliance more time to realistically solidify as a galactic power. Before, humans went from being a pre-Mass Effect species to being a serious military rival to the turians in just 30 years. Now, it's taken them 130 years, and it's still super-fast - though realistically so.Luxure wrote...

Been spending some time making a galaxy map for Regenesis, which can be found here. It's not even close to being done, but the essentials is there. I have marked most important locations and homeworlds
It's absolutely gigantic, so the only way to actually be able to read anything is to download it, as opening the image in a new tab from DA results in a downsized version that's impossible to read.
Oh, and I put the Perseus Veil on the wrong arm. Which is not even close to the first time. It will be fixed.

Okay, I can only read the clusters that appeared in the games, plus Aegean Nebula, Mutaru something-something, and that's it.
Anyone managed to read any other names?

You a fan of Assassin's Creed, Arcian? Because the Altair (don't know how to write those two dots above the i) Nebula appears to say so.
