Matriarch Benezia: proving that there is a market for a mass effect bra. --Tullis 18:17, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

I could insert some corny comment about her having plenty of Mass to Effect or something, but I'll hold off :) Thanks Tullis, that comment made my day :) --LeathamGrant 18:58, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Religion
How ironic that a teacher of religion would describe the horrors of indoctrination.
 * Ehh, I don't really get it, but anyway, the real thing is that "the light comment" really remarks on the fact that there is no "light at the end of the tunnel" and as such this game could be said to indirectly dispute all religions in existence. A bold and dangerous move, thankfully what they did was a bit more subtle than a simple blatant statement. As for me, I prefer to believe that when I die I don't just become nutrients for the Earth. --Delsana 04:02, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Opening Paragraph Spoiler
For the sake of clarity, this is the paragraph, occurring before the spoiler warning, under scrutiny:

"Matriarch Benezia was a very powerful asari biotic and spiritual leader among her people. She was also Liara T'Soni's mother, though the two had not spoken in years. When the evidence that proved Saren Arterius was responsible for the Eden Prime attack also proved Benezia was working alongside him, it surprised those who knew her, as Benezia's actions seemed to be completely out of character."

This passage contains numerous spoilers. It persistently uses the word "was" (cf."was a very powerful asari biotic" and "was Liara T'Soni's mother"), rather implying strongly that Benezia is dead. This indisputably reveals important, "spoiling" aspects of Mass Effect's plot.

Moreover, the paragraph states that evidence was eventually adduced that proved (presumably to the Council) that Saren was responsible for the Eden Prime attack. This constitutes yet another revelation of an important plot aspect that would be unknown to a new player who had played Mass Effect for even several hours, "speed running" notwithstanding.

The "the Eden Prime attack also proved that Benezia was working alongside him (Saren)" remark further reveals, rather obviously, that Benezia is in league with Saren. This is something which, as before, discloses an important plot aspect of Mass Effect, with a risk of "spoiling" the story for a player who has recently begun the game.

Thus I propose the paragraph be again amended to remove these spoilers. Arguably, the latter two spoilers are not so significant; however, the strong implication that Benezia dies is clearly unacceptable before the spoiler warning. If I do not receive a response to the foregoing soon, I will change the offending paragraph regardless; unannounced spoilers are more pressing than most article issues. --Heliossoileh 22:22, January 3, 2010 (UTC)
