Despite what the women aboard the Normandy may say, Commander Shepard isn’t the most social and friendly guy and doesn’t make a lot of friends in his galactic travels. In fact, in BioWare’s upcoming space opera sequel, Mass Effect 2, it seems that he’s made quite a few new enemies. The latest video posted on BioWare’s YouTube channel reveals that not only will Shepard have to deal with the ever looming threat of the Reapers, but also contend with The Collector’s, a race of insect-like beings that are experimenting on human beings throughout the galaxy, several new, more dangerous looking Husks, and a Geth by the name of Legion, who in addition to looking like a total badass, has somehow grown independent of the hive mind and holds a personal vendetta against our protagonist.
Here’s hoping that Commander Shepard saw that episode of Star Trek: the Next Generation in which the crew of the Enterprise found the Borg drone named Hue, and that he’s able to make the decision that Captain Picard could not.
