Let’s face facts – even in the far future universe of Mass Effect 2, tech nerds got laughed at, wedgied, roughed up for their space lunch money by space bullies on the space playground, and more. It’s just the nature of the beast.

The Engineer, ME2‘s tech nerd supreme, didn’t have a date to prom. Heck, he didn’t even go to prom. He sat at home and tinkered on that homemade android that bore quite a bit more than a passing resemblance to the cheerleader who scorned him in front of his entire homeroom class. Creepy stuff. Even more so when he makes a point of telling you that axle grease has multiple uses…

Guh… I think I just grossed myself out there. *Shudder*

Anyway, is it any surprise then that the Engie is so good at hacking robotic enemies? He does know synthetic lifeforms inside and out, after all. And that’s to say nothing of that combat drone of his that he always talks to.

I really think we need to get this boy some help. Anyone know of a good space therapist?
