#it autocorrected saren to Daren and i was so close to just leaving it like that

[madame-thedas]

I have never felt so seen in my life. The original mako was fun and that is the hill I die on. The true experience was driving that thing like there was no tomorrow and imagining the Normandy squad holding on for dear life as Shepard sent it flying over every hill.

The biggest threat of mass effect wasn't Saren or the Reapers - it was my Shepard bringing them to the brink of death every time they had to step foot in that death trap. They probably updated their wills and said their final goodbyes to their family the minute Shepard stepped into the driver's seat. The mako had absolutely everything - streamlined for your experience.

Guns that aimed? Fuck that. Unnecessary. Drive over the enemies and drive like shit until you get away. Bash into them hard enough until they fall into lava.

Gravity? Fuck that. Physics cannot contain the Mako. She's an enigma beyond such simple reckoning. The mako is my magic carpet and I'm showing the squad the world as I send it flying over every cliff.

The Mako is the horse in all of those horse movies where the city girl tames the wild unrideable horse with oats and apples until she gains it's trust and they ride off into the sunset together after evading some rich farmer trying to sell it off.

The original mako straight up fucks and nothing will ever beat the sheer joy that comes from making the biggest regret of bioware do it's fun little bounces. The Nomad had nothing on the prime steed that is the Mako who drives like she's been coked up for the Derby.
