ARCADE
Opening

Commander Shepard before having destroyed the Reaper invasion is on the Normandy with his crew patroling the Universe scouting for any signs of Reaper activity. Getting reports from a drone they had sent out the crew reads the charts seeing a source of power that is overwhelming. Believing it might be the edge that they need to defeat the Reapers the Normandy lands on the nearby planet and drops off Comander Shepard.

Rival - Hawke

Reason - Commander Shepard is walking around when he encounters Hawke alone. Commander Shepard seeing Hawke's eyes glowing believes him to be a husk or indoctrinated. Taking the chance to shoot Commander Shepard takes his shot but it is blocked by Hawke's swift reflexes. Hawke's eyes stop glowing and Commander Shepard stares at him surprised and apologizes informing him that he thought he was a husk and explains that he would be better off dead if he were. Taking Shepard's comment as offensive and a threat Hawke removes his sword and readies to fight Shepard to show him who is better off dead.

Connection - Both Mass Effect and Dragon Age are created by Bioware. While Mass Effect takes place in the future and focuses around technology Dragon Age focuses around steel and magic. Both Protagonists are able to be created in any way that the player wishes, and both can be either male or female. In both series the protagonist work alongside different species in order to destroy a great threat (In DAO its the Archdemon and Mass Effect the Reapers). Both series involve an evil that turns the other races into their minions (In Dragon Age they are turned into Darkspawn, while in Mass Effect they are indoctrinated). Both games revolve around a system of morals and allows the player to choose what those morales are. Both are squad based games where as DA has a 4 member squad ME has a 3 member squad. Lastly, both protagonists can either die or survive at the end of their story depending on the choices the player has made.

Ending

Commander Shepard returns to the Normandy and upon so is asked by the crew what had happened. Shepard replies that he ran into some interesting enemies some the odd thing is that they were not all evil. Though the power had attracted so many evil presences, Shepard informs them that he has obtained it, and with it will be able to end the Reaper threat once and for all.
