I don't know who it was at BioWare that decided to replace long, boring loading screens with even longer and more boring elevator rides. But whoever you are: You're not fooling anyone.

And thank you so much for not putting a fast transit terminal in the docking bay so we get to enjoy a loading screen and an elevator ride and then another loading screen every. single. flaming. time. we visit the Citadel. You are a bad person and should feel ashamed.
