the young, the fat and the elderly
by megalowho
As great as the cities in Mass Effect 2 can be, there's something missing that bugged me in the first game and bugs me in this one as well. No children, No fat people. Very few old people too. Where's all the little alien and human kiddies? Maybe not in a scummy place like Omega, but surely in the Citadel you'd see some younglings scurrying about somewhere, just waiting for a space hero to come...

Very few old people too. Where's all the little alien and human kiddies? Maybe not in a scummy place like Omega, but surely in the Citadel you'd see some younglings scurrying about somewhere, just waiting for a space hero to come along and help them with a fetch quest. And really, the Volus are the only species in the galaxy without a perfect BMI? Just a little flab would go a long way towards differentiating character models and making random NPC's and citizens feel more diverse.
Maybe some folks just aren't cut out for space travel. Got to be in top shape, can't be crying about your Tamogatchi. But in the areas where it feels appropriate it would be great to see the fat, the old and the young represented in all their glory once ME3 rolls around.
