Mass Effect: The Story of Casey Hudson and BioWare's Sci-Fi Epic

The original Mass Effect trilogy is often held up as one of the finest stories ever told in video games. Across three blockbuster roleplaying games, Casey Hudson and BioWare built an immersive science fiction world which has captivated the minds of players worldwide.

This wasn't an easy task, though. When Casey Hudson first brought the idea of an epic sci-fi gaming trilogy to BioWare founders Greg Zeschuk and Ray Muzyka, the pair weren't exactly thrilled.

Casey and his team had a long way to go to create the first entry in their series, and while the game lacks the polish of later Mass Effect titles, it has arguably the strongest, most detailed story of any game in the series.

In case you can't tell, I'm an enormous BioWare fan. There's a reason my username on Tumblr, Twitter, and in other places, is KotorComics - the first comics I posted online were all about Knights of the Old Republic (I even used some images from Totally Kotor in this video).

While there were a lot of really talented people involved in the creation of Mass Effect, and while we'll definitely tell these stories in future, this first video dwells on the project lead, Casey Hudson, who steered the Mass Effect trilogy all the way through to its controversial conclusion.

If you like this, you'll probably like a lot of stuff on my Tumblr (kotorcomics.tumblr.com), and, of course, my old webcomics (totallykotor.com), both of which touch on Mass Effect.

The majority of information for this video game from Geoff Keighley's The Last Hours of Mass Effect 3, which is available on IOS.

Thanks so much for watching, BretonStripes (the words lady) and I (the picture guy) both really appreciate all of your wonderful comments.

As you're probably aware, it's more difficult than ever to get anywhere on YouTube at the moment, so if you know someone who might like this video, please do us a favour and share it with them - we appreciate every little bit of help that we can get.

Thanks again, we've got plenty more videos coming in the near future!
