Chris, Hamilton, and Spencer wind their way through the first half of Mass Effect‘s plot, from character creation to Noveria. Along the way, we also discuss party member backstories, the Asteroid X57 bonus mission, and how exactly one should pronounce “Benezia.”

No need to listen to the episode to join in the discussion, though! Let’s talk about your favorite (and least favorite) parts about the first half of Mass Effect‘s story; try to keep any spoilers for the events of later games hidden behind spoiler text please!
