Mass Effect 2 (Part 2) - Freedom's Progress: Ghost Town, Terminus System

The Ghost Town (or Ghost Ship) trope is one of my favourites in video games. Deus Ex had one in the underwater base. Half-Life 2 had Ravenholm. Abandoned labs and bunkers were strewn throughout S.T.A.L.K.E.R.. And System Shock built entire games around it. I don't expect a fully fledged version of this trope in Mass Effect (as it's neither a horror or stealth game), but it was nice to see for this brief moment.

Also, disregard any critiques I may have of the combat system in this video. The game feels "off" (not quite terrible, but definitely "not good") on keyboard and mouse. I switch to a controller later, and everything was fine. It's just a shame they never included controller support in the PC version, as EVERYTHING in the game, from the movement to the menus to the combat, was built around it.
