4. The Fishtanks - As you strolled through the decks of the Normandy in Mass Effect, you may have noticed a distinct lack of fishtanks…or at least wondered how an environment populated by a crew of at least a dozen crewmen stayed so sterile and cold. The new Normandy looks much more like a ship where a crew actually works and lives. Your quarters have received quite an overhaul; they’re now less like a military bunk and more like a mini-apartment, complete with an enormous fishtank built right into the wall. Hudson mentioned that you’ll be able to collect fish for it, but didn’t specify how. In fact, he seemed a little bemused that I even wanted to know. But they’re fish. In space! How could I not want to know? You’ll be able to buy other decorations for your digs, too, though I’m not sure if you can arrange them how you like, or if they’ll just go where they go, a la Oblivion.

Your quarters aren’t just for relaxing, though. You’ll receive emails to your private terminal that may advance the plot, or simply inform you of the fallout from your previous missions. You can also change out of your battle armor into something more casual and appropriate for your off-duty hours. It won’t apparently affect how other characters interact with you, though.

Awesome!!
