Bah, more like "Meh Effect"
It was an OK game with a lot of flaws that I ultimately found a bit boring with a confusing silly plot. Much like their previous game Jade Empire which was also vastly over rated. I'm sure it'll be worth playing, and I'll eventually pick it up cheap and used. But this series was certainly no master piece like KOTOR was.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
— Pat Buchanan – A Republic, Not an Empire
