Why Can't We Lie Sometimes?
There are times where I'd like the option to be "dishonorable" and you know something? I'd be okay if it had an adverse affect on my relationships with certain people (or improved it in some cases)....

I listen to some of them as background music for when I want to write fanfiction. There are some very good ones in there, like the escape vault song, going forward and more.
Well, OK - there are some" good" ones, no denying, but I do not think there is even one that I would call "exceptional". I am listening to MEA soundtrack from time to time as well... But seriously, music *is* much weaker in MEA than in the original trilogy (like OMG theme from the beginning of ME1 when Shepard walks to the Normandy bridge). And comparing MEA music to Dragon Age Inquisition music... Uh... They really dropped the ball this time. :-(
I think that tend to happen with Open World games, because you need some background songs and the small moments we have a score telling the story, which in the trilogy happened the whole time, so you actually managed to fit music with events and feelings, now you have songs that can be both playing when you are clearing that hard difficult enemy base, and when you are scanning that flower. I am a very song/music driven person, and I cannot state any of MEA songs had actually reached me.
Which then, affects the whole sense, in a way, of supportive emotional process. MEA is leveled, by my experience, to a bit more than ME1 when it comes to feelings. I think MEA is on the bad side of that comparison because it made me play around 100 hours to prompt some feelings to me, whilst ME1 sparked the same level of emotions on 20h.
