Dude, I only just played the games for the very first time earlier this year and I absolutely feel what you mean. It's the very first piece of music you hear when you start the game, is used throughout the trilogy in pivotal moments, and is the very last theme that plays in the third game. So awesome
Oh yeah. Leitmotifs are very effective at tying a story together and really help add some punch to those emotional moments.
I absolutely adore Mass Effect. It’s probably my favorite game ever. Top 3 at least.
I do see that the narrative and the gameplay have some flaws, but overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the games and the ~100h it took me to finish the trilogy. The Citadel DLC was probably my favourite part of the entire series. I'd also probably put the games in my top x favourite games.
Someone: Doesn't like Mass Effect
Me: "WEAKENING THEIR INTEGRITY!!!"
