Without a broader story/context and with such a solitary environment, why does it matter what I name the planets or creatures? What good does it do to upgrade your ship and equipment so you can visit more planets that equally don't matter? Just seems to me that there's no 'there' there, if that makes any sense. It's the kind of thing I'd like to enjoy but I don't imagine how I would, really.

This has me wondering whether I was supposed to have felt as though I actually saved the universe or found the true meaning of life after beating Mass Effect 3. I thought it was a pretty fun video game at least.
