For some games, this sort of continuity is unimportant, but storytelling is a major part of this franchise so that sort of oversight would be unacceptable. However, between Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3, the Normandy SR2 survives, so there are certain restrictions the game designers must acknowledge to maintain continuity. The destruction of the original Normandy provides the suspension of disbelief necessary for the player to accept these differences in gameplay. The updated design of the Normandy from ME2 to ME3 doubles the size of the vessel and introduces new functionality. The original SSV Normandy SR1 (as it appears in Mass Effect 2) All screen capture images are property of BioWare and are reproduced here under fair use for review purposes. If you're totally lost at this point, let me explain a bit more visually. There have been two and a half versions of the Normandy - the Normandy SR1 was destroyed preceding the events of Mass Effect 2, and the SR2 receives significant revision for Mass Effect 3. The Normandy is an experimental stealth frigate, which makes it somewhere in the small to mid-size of spacefaring ships in the Mass Effect universe. Shepard spends the majority of his/her time aboard the SSV Normandy when he's not blasting his way through hordes of bad guys (let's just assume Shepard is male for this blog post). Great, now that the intro is out of the way, let's get down to brass tacks. Or you could buy the game, i suppose, but that's just crazy talk. If you're interested in knowing more about the background of Mass Effect, you can try the Wikipedia page, or you can browse through the Mass Effect Wiki. As it turns out, humans are not alone in the galaxy, and though we have entered into an uneasy alliance with the majority of other spacefaring species, there exists a threat to the continued existence of all life in the galaxy known as the "Reapers". Humans have discovered the ability to move faster than light through the use of "mass effect fields", which also explain pretty much everything else futuristic in the game. For those unfamiliar with the game, it is an amalgamation of first person shooter and roleplaying set in space. Yesterday, BioWare launched Mass Effect 3, the much awaited conclusion to the Mass Effect trilogy.
