Seriously all of their games are objectively trash.
Mass Effect 2.
ME universe is automatically disqualified from being good (even for what it is) by the existence of Asari.
ME2 is further disqualified by jelly mould human reaper.

The Asari are awesome.
Umm... No. Asari are not just awful sci-fi (even by space opera standard - good space opera should be something like Known Space) but awful sci-fi for the sake of thinly disguised fap-bait alone.
The overall idea of the Asari and their role in the game is actually a pretty neat sci fi concept.
Prothean society, though formidable, was homogenized, so defeating them was simple arithmetic to an obviously technologically superior opponent like the Reapers. Knowing that the civilizations of future cycles would never be able to achieve technological parity with the Reapers before the next reaping commenced, the Protheans decided to use extensive genetic rewrite and cultural indoctrination on the Asari to make their race sexually compatible with any species, using sex, romantic attachment, and children as an adhesive to tie disparate groups of biological organisms together -- like rival human tribes embracing intermarriage as an alternative to war (the Aeneid anybody?). An all female librul race as dominant galactic species (and Asari are the dominant galactic species in Mass Effect) would preserve the diverse approaches to technology and combat doctrine necessary to split and confuse the Reapers' military efforts.
Thus Turian and Krogan tactics working in tandem during the Reaper War resulted in the Miracle at Palaven, the most serious beating the Reapers ever took in their entire history before the Battle of Earth.
Yes, this disgustingly awful sci-fi.Umm... No. Asari are not just awful sci-fi (even by space opera standard - good space opera should be something like Known Space) but awful sci-fi for the sake of thinly disguised fap-bait alone.
This is awful sci-fi?

tl;dr:
Really, I expected you, at least, to be able to see right through a thin and clumsy disguise ineptly draped over an insertion of space lesbians for space lesbians' sake.
People genuinely love ME2 but judge me for enjoying NWN 2 OC?
