Mass Effect 4: Will the Geth Be Heroes or Villains This Time?
One fascinating alien species from the Mass Effect game series is the Geth, originally designed as a servile robotic class by the Quarians. After gaining self-awareness and setting personal objectives, the Geth rebelled against their creators to gain freedom, leading to an enduring hostility between them. The Geth’s image wasn’t improved when a faction known as the Heretics allied with Saren and the Reapers during Mass Effect 1. However, throughout the series, Commander Shepard discovers that the Geth aren’t inherently good or evil, but rather an unprecedented type of artificial life, adding layers of complexity to their role in the narrative.
