Classes
In Mass Effect, your Commander Shepard can be one of six different classes, each with different Talents. These Talents can be passive abilities, such as the ability to use a weapon or wear a type of armour, or active powers, such as the Biotic powers.
Gameplay
Mass Effect is very much an action game, but the choices you make in dialogue are significant. The combat and the dialogue make up the two most important parts of the game; click on the subheadings for a brief description of each.
Locations
In Mass Effect's universe, humanity has expanded across thousands of worlds, and has encountered other races with large interstellar empires. Therefore, the game takes place on a series of different worlds, in different areas of the galaxy, as well at the Citadel, a space station that serves as a galactic hub.
