One of the best parts of the Mass Effect fandom is when an 800 lb. alien experiment came out of the tank that raised him to be the ultimate killing machine and held us up by our throat before speaking his first words in the digitally-deepened voice of Steve Blum - a middle-aged man who, respectfully, sounds like he gargles cigarettes - we all looked at that and collectively said:
“MY SON. MY BABY BOY. It’s hard being a parent but it’s a role I accept DO YOU NEED JUICE BOXES MY LARGE CHILD???”

« Tuchanka is a place of great gifts. It kills the weak, torments the slow, and destroys the stupid. Survival is an honor, and here, krogan thrive! »
Tuchanka and its people. I especially remember the moment of Shepard's first visit to Tuchanka in the Mass Effect 2. A meeting with good old friend Wrex, stern krogans, funny pyjaks and varrens. Especially with cutie Urz!

I have never played mass effect and know only cursorily what the story is about through osmosis, but a friend just informed me you can adopt a fully formed, vat-grown, super soldier alien who resembles the results of a drunk one-night stand between a barnacle and a dinosaur as your son and that your son’s name is Grunt and he loves violence, snacks, reading Hemingway, and you.
Needless to say, I automatically consider this a top tier, A+ game, no notes, except if you can’t dress your son in warm sweaters and a nice hat, in that case I have Some Notes.

The moment you take Zaeed to Tuchanka after Grunt's coming of age, he actually disappears on the sly.
After some time of trying to track down his whereabouts, you discover that not only did he visit every single Krogan armory within a hundred miles at a speed that could only be described as "Santa Clausian", but within a few short hours, the story of how he survived his betrayal by Vido Santiago has already spread among the the "teenage" Krogan, who have started collectively referring to themselves as "Clan Zaeed" and have also pronounced the Angriest Mercenary In The Terminus Systems an "honorary Krogan" and "Clan Chief".
Wrex could put a stop to it and acknowledges that he probably should, but he's too busy laughing and shouting "WHERE'S THE LIE?" before giving Zaeed a commemorative bottle of Ryncol. Zaeed will later use said Ryncol to maintain his guns after he discovers that Tuchanka-made Moonshine-style Ryncol actually cleans carbon fouling and other gunk out of guns like NOTHING ELSE. For his part, Grunt insists that was Ryncol's original purpose, and nobody is sure if he's trolling or not.
Over a thousand years later, it is generally agreed by all Krogan that Zaeed Massani never actually died, per se, but rather just angrily climbed a ladder into the next world so he could beat the crap out of that one too, and his birth and death days are well-respected Krogan holidays, just like Shepard's.
