While the setting is firmly established in the realm of Science Fiction, the story and presentation is distilled Space Opera. If the player does not care, they can safely ignore it. Then throw in a codex where, if a player cares, they can find explanations that approach HG Wells levels of detail things like why you never run out of ammo, to history of the various alien races, to stupid little pieces of trivia. The universe is populated by some colorful alien races like the Elcor who speak in an eternal monotone, Solarians with an upside-down blink (the lower eye-lid is the more articulate lid), the Volus completely enclosed in space suits due to the living on low pressure worlds, the insect-like Rachni deliver a delightful homage to the Alien franchise while exploring Novaria. Our ship? The best in fleet? It gets named after the most significant battle in human history The Normandy. There's also a consistent naming scheme for Alliance vessels (named after significant battles). For example, the alliance uses naval terminology for interstellar travel even though the setting renders the words obsolete ("shore" party?). In addition, ME's world sports little spices of realism that makes this future feel like a genuine possibility for our world. And how about weapons named after Chess Champions? Don't make me break out my Karpov. Oh yeah, and the Thorian has the ability to control people an indirect nod to Invasion of the Body Snatchers? The makers of ME knew their genre. Sci-fi has often explored the concept of plant life that challenges our ideas of what a plant's characteristics are. The game is laced with little touches to make us fans smile casting genre legend Lance Hendriksen (Bishop, from Aliens) as Admiral Hackett, presenting narrative parallels between Prothean beacons and the monoliths in 2001, and let's not forget the Thorian.
