Our task was simple: discuss the Reaper IFF and the Legion loyalty mission. Listener, let me tell you that we do that but we also go on some major digressions. The mystery the game tries to build up around the Reapers is hurt by the fact that we learned all of the important details in the last game, leading us to speculate whether it could have been handled better. When we finally meet Legion, the first character who can give us insight into the Geth, we’re once more baffled by how the game chooses to assign gender and identity—and how the times they don’t are conspicuous. This leads us to echoing our feelings on the first game, that there’s a weird rushed feeling to Mass Effect 2 that often leaves us wanting deeper dives into the world.
