On the surface, sure - it doesn't seem creepy at all. But once you get to the people who get stuck on spikes and get turned into Husks, indoctrination (especially in the Reaper in ME2) and the mutations of the Reaper ground forces, it is actually a fairly creepy game.

 

And this is quite creepy, also:

 

"Junthor is a large terrestrial planet with a thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide and chlorine. The surface is mainly composed of aluminum with deposits of nickel.

Surveyors found the ruins of a technical civilization near the equator — evidently the colony of an ancient spacefaring race. The ruins had subsided to almost nothing — merely wind hollowed husks of arcologies and other megastructures. In the center of the ruins was a single column whose inscriptions defied translation for several centuries.

When asari linguists finally managed a translation, the elaborate relief carvings said merely, "Walk among these works, and know our greatness." The crude scratches on the base of the reverse side said, "Monsters from the id.""

I still get a little scared when that husk jumps on a window during Priority: Horizon. And the enemy design is pretty disturbing. Cannibals, in particular. Of course, it doesn't hold a candle to Dead Space

[ImaginaryMatter]

I don't really think the series is creepy as far as tone. It has a few little unsettling moments, like the dragon teeth, but it's usually pretty clean.

[God]

It's not creepy at all.

 

It's not like it's the DVD menu for The End of Evangelion asking me why I exist or anything. 

[themikefest]

No

 

I give high marks to Bioware for making the reaper ground forces look the way they do.

Then again, Dead Space is supposed to be a survival horror game.

[fraggle]

Oh yes, it does have its creepy moments!

In ME1: Of course the husks and the Dragon Teeth, so disturbing. I'm also willing to give the Thorian Creepers a bit of credit

In ME2: The Collector Ship - the atmosphere is insane there, plus corpses piled up, yay! The side mission in Jarrahe Station and the Prometheus Station in Overlord, also very good atmosphere, especially seeing the inactive geth in Overlord, you just know they'll come alive at some point.

In ME3: I remember the first time I heard a banshee scream...ew. And the section with the Adjutants in the Omega DLC.

[KaiserShep]

I like the rachni tunnel in ME3. Should've had those fast moving workers from ME1.

I remember my first playthrough... i was like yea that's not decoration lol

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

Junthor. Chlorine is a liquid at -34^o C. So we'd have oceans or lakes of liquid chlorine on that world instead of it being free in the atmosphere. The "Monsters from the id" was a nod to the 1950s Sci-Fi movie "Forbidden Planet."

 

What is really creepy is stuff like how Shepard got to be the leader of the galaxy.

 It makes me jump literally every time without fail.

There are two things me and my friend decided Mass Effect would work well as - one an RTS, the other a horror survival game.

ME2 - the abandoned mine mission.

[Mister J]

I suppose the husks and the collectors and the (other) reaper infantry are the stuff of horror, but the only thing that creeps me out is the thought of a human and a turian having sex. Needless to say I have never romanced Garrus, and I'm never going to!

[God]

Yeah, if anything creeped me out, it's the alien sex.

[Winterking]

There are few missions and sidequests that are pretty creepy like the Reaper IFF and listening how the Cerberus scientists were gradually loosing their mind.

 

Also the T-GES Mineral Works facility from Leviathan.

 

 

[Fixers0]

In Me1 there's a planet named Altahe in the Styx Theta cluster, everything about that place felt wrong; the howling winds, the jagged mountains, the lifeless enviroment, Everytime I go there I feel like some terrible is going to happen.

Exactly this. Pretty much why I found some of the flashlight sections in ME3 to be kind of odd. A friend of mine insisted that there was going to be jumpscares at some point during the tuchanka missions but that never made sense to me becuase it's just out of Mass Effect's tone to suddenly make it completely horror.

Which might have been an interesting twist.

 

Imagine if the Reapers were actually shepherds against an entity like the Flood, something much, much worse.

 

No one expected Halo to jump from hard-sci-fi shooter into a survival horror game. Then came the mission '343 Guilty Spark'...

 

No Mass Effect moment matches that.

[Excella Gionne]

Ardat-Yakshi Monastery is scary. Every Banshee yells at me thinking I'm the father of their babies. That's a nightmare!

They could have totally had some Husks - or even Swarmers - on Tuchanka which could attack you in the dark. Maybe disable your flashlight also to make it even worse - all you could see on the Husks would be the glow of their machinery.

 

One mission which I do think would work well as a horror is the Asari monastery. With the Banshees and the darkness and the like.

[TheN7Penguin]

Yes.

[aoibhealfae]

I really hate Reaper IFF mission... or anything with husks suddenly crawling up and running toward you. There's a reason why I prefer Infiltrator most of the time. Keep away from me you zombie mf.... and the fact that all husks are identical, no genitals, creepy glowing, attack on titan-ish... urghhh

 

Banshee was definitely an improvement over Desire Demon.

 

Let's hope they're not putting Slenderman in the next game.... 

[KaiserShep]

I always had Jack with me during the reaper IFF mission, and with my Shepard being a Vanguard, we were able to spam shockwave to keep them all at a distance. The only problem was those friggin scions that shockwaved back. Those guys were killer.

 

But damn did I hate that husk-filled mine side mission. Most annoying thing in the entire game by far.

[Mordokai]

Eh, the romance itself is pretty well done. I agree the thought of the turian/human sex is somewhat offputting, but other than that, the romance itself is great.

Also the T-GES Mineral Works facility from Leviathan.

 

The reasons I love those moments and missions is because they seem to be heavily inspired by Lovecraft

[BraveVesperia]

I find the Collector ship unnerving, especially with the music and those random shrieks in the background. I'm alright once you start encountering hostiles, but the fact that there's nothing there for a while freaked me out the first time. I kept expecting something to attack, but it never did. The Ardat-Yakshi sanctuary was the same.

 

I actually find those galaxy map entries pretty chilling, the amount of planets that have had a 'mass extinction event' and no one ever knew why... 

[TheN7Penguin]

I've never actually done any romance subplot other than Tali's in Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3.

 

The Collector Ship is definitely unnerving, yes.

 

Lovecraft has influenced a lot of things in the Mass Effect trilogy. Even the Reapers themselves, I think?

 

 

Some of the things in the galaxy map are seriously creepy.
