This is a discussion about the video game *Mass Effect 1* focusing on the Novaria and Feros missions. The speakers discuss a variety of topics including: * Whether or not to kill the Rachni Queen * The best squad combinations * Whether or not to kill the indoctrinated Asari on Feros * Shepard being 🍇 twice on Feros * Whether or not the Asari can meld with any species * The morality of some of the choices presented in the game * The Rachni Wars, the Krogan Rebellions and the Genophage * Potential romance options * Plans to play *Mass Effect 2* together They also discuss scheduling issues related to playing other games together. One speaker expresses frustration that others haven't played *Forza Horizon*. Another speaker expresses his dislike for free-to-play games, citing *Overwatch 2* as an example. The speakers are excited to finish the game and start playing *Mass Effect 2*. However, they also acknowledge that one of them, Trevor, is behind and may not be able to finish the game by the next time they meet. One speaker jokingly calls Trevor an "incel Shepherd" because he has not romanced any characters. Two of the speakers tease Trevor about this, saying he is only playing the game for the gameplay and not the story and that he will be "disappointed" when he finishes the game because he will miss out on key story elements.
