Again, that's not something Mass Effect invented. These are simply tropes. Mass Effect probably wouldn't exist without Star Trek or Lovecraft. The Reapers cause madness? That's the biggest motif in Lovecraft's work. Listen to Sovereign's speech. That is 100% Lovecraft inspired. Dead Space is far from original, but it's not based on Mass Effect.
