> In Mass Effect you save the entire galaxy from robots, at the cost of forever losing the ability for FTL travel (and stranding a lot of people where they are in the galaxy).

There are different ways you can save the galaxy (you can also fail to do that, and the world goes on, organic life gets reset). You can just destroy the robots, along with all other artificial life forms - some of them are those for whose right to live you just fought (if you choose so). You can resolve the issue by performing what amounts to a galactic-scale rape, changing everyone without their consent. Or you can risk becoming the very force you tried to destroy, hoping that you have enough morality in yourself to not go dark yourself.

I spent something around 20 minutes just sitting there and thinking those choices through. Which one is the right thing to do?

I think they did a good job of taking the "save the world" trope and turning it into a huge moral conundrum for the player.
