Edge Online - We Are Family. Thanks Joker961.
Mass Effect 2 works the same way. As much as the game bills itself as a fight “for the lost” and the fate of humanity, the real story is about you and your sidekicks on the Normandy: space may be vast, the future may be scary, but at least we’ve still got each other. Almost all of your time is spent making new friends and then helping them out with their petty little personal problems. And that’s what makes it so gripping. (I’ll try to keep the ME2 spoilers light, but watch out.)
