I always wanted to ask. Is it just me or Mass Effect is heavily based on story of Freespace? There's a powerful race that wipes out every advanced society once in a while (Shivans/Reapers). There's ancient extinct civilization that has key to defeating this threat (Ancients/Protheans). There's traitor on your side who's trying to forge alliance with your archenemy (Admiral Bosh/Saren). In the end you don't destroy your enemy you only block the way for them. And the story itself is somewhat similar. Of course there are differences in all the details but still I have hard time believing that it's just coincidence. Now I'm wondering, am I the only one who noticed that?
Nothing against Mass Effect though, I really enjoyed it.
