Mass Effect

Last week I finished the first Mass Effect.
It was brilliantly absorbing, strong plot, well paced.

There was one thing that bugged me. The side-missions would often take you to research labs on planets and they were all kinda samey.
I thought it was slightly lazy design but understandable given the scale of the game.
Until I was finding myself walking down the stairs at Bank tube station. In the staircase there are at least five separate sections, all clearly numbered and assembled in some kind of train station Ikea style.

And I thought maybe those identikit research stations on Mass Effect aren't as unrealistic as all that.
