Some of these options evolved the world into further tech advancement, while others destroyed the relays and set civilization back. The appearance of the broken relays speak volumes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve never made a secret of my Mass Effect love, so expect a deep dive here in the coming days. To see that they aren&#8217;t abandoning a franchise that means so much to so many despite Andromeda&#8217;s setback is amazing news.
