Top Ten Secret Player Bases and Strongholds

SSV Normandy (Mass Effect series)

What's better than exploring a fully realized and original sci-fi RPG setting? Being captain of your very own star ship! 

The Normandy is home to you and your crew in all three games, and is crafted with all the love and care of a fellow party member – and technically eventually becomes one in the form of Mass Effect 3's EDI.

Having your beloved ship torn apart in the opening moments of Mass Effect 2 is an effective gut punch that sets the stage for the dark tone of the sequel. Never forget!
