There's no such thing as "obvious meaning". Meaning is always fluid and culturally dependant, especially in artistic works (yes, Mass Effect is an original artistic work, as determined in 2011). What you just said means that Christians should be able to get their Bible right based on the "quick summaries" given to them by their church pastors, but most of them wouldn't know Leviticus from Revelation.
