## Resource

Which squadmate has the best character arc? Which character outside the Normandy has the best development? N7 Legend is joined by the patrons to discuss all this and more. ------------------ P.S. The audio for everyone else - and every sound from my PC - was for some reason doubled on the recording, and I'm not sure why. I tried to fix this in post-production, but unfortunately we would just have had to re-record the entire episode. I'll get it sorted, Spectres - you deserve better. - N7 Legend Join us LIVE: https://twitch.tv/masseffectlorecast N7 Legend on Twitch: https://twitch.tv/n7thelegend Jennasis on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/iamjennasis Discord: https://discord.gg/pVEkbuVRxC Mass Effect Lorecast on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/masseffectlorecast.bsky.social N7 Legend on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/n7thelegend.bsky.social Jennasis on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/iamjennasis.bsky.social Mass Effect Lorecast on X: https://x.com/MassEffectCast Jennasis on X: https://x.com/SwitchInBedTV Email: masseffectlorecast@gmail.com Music by Pipeman Studios.
