When I finished ME 3 for the first time, I was shocked and I thought that I had made a mistake. Did something wrong or maybe miss something along the way. So I started a new play through right away. But nothing changed. After that I felt nothing else but anger, frustration and pain. I felt betrayed,  I felt like someone had ripped my heart out. I guess a lot people know what I mean. I couldn’t touch the game in month and  moved my PS3 out of my gaming room so I could play my other games without staring at all the ME stuff.

So last autumn we went to our house in Spain for the holidays. This was the first time we took my little nephew with us. We went  to the beach, he never saw the sea before or walk over the sand at the beach. It was amazing to see him explore everything. After  a couple of hours he came over to me with a hand full of seashells. I remember that he was smiling and that I couldn’t. He looked at me and ask if  he did something wrong. He did not, so I told
him that the seashells reminds me of someone that I used to know and that this someone would have loved to study seashells.

Then Christmas came along and my little nephew gave me a red box with a seashell in it. Told me that I have to give this to me friend, the one that would like to study seashells. He ask me if he could met him so he can explain to him how studying seashells works. At this moment I didn’t know what to say, so I grab him and we both went to my gaming room. I showed him the picture of Mordin, told him everything I know about him. He looked at my Wrex picture and he wanted to know who that is. So I told him. He pointed at a picture and I told him the story about this character too.

Next morning I started a new playtrough (ME1 – ME3)  so I could remember every little detail about the story, because I gave him a promise that night. That I would tell him more about Mordin, Wrex, Garrus and Shepard. I never had enjoyed playing this game so much like I did in the that playthrough. I saw things that I never saw before even if I had played the games a dozen times before. And I told him the story from ME1 to ME 3.

I’m writing this because he stormed in my bedroom last night and offered me a solution for the Genophage. Shepard must find Mordin. He is the only one who can get it right. At this point I realized that most of my anger and frustrations are gone. I know the ending  and the game isn’t perfect but I have mad my peace with it. Because my little nephew reminded me of all the good things that I once loved about the game and know I can enjoy them again.  I have to thank Bioware for a great story that know is  the source of inspiration for my  little nephew to save the galaxy.

It's creepy-weird when you think about it, but these games somehow manage to get you to care about the characters like they're real people.

Which totally sucks because this is why I can't quit Mass Effect.

PS Cute story but fix your formatting.
