At least they're not rushing it for christmas.
This means that I'll have to ask for game shop gift cards. Is it possible to get Steam gift cards?

The Iron Man-looking armor actually gives a bonus to negotiate options, which would be nice. Except that's the preorder bonus for everywhere-but-Gamestop, and the closest place to my apartment that sells games is a Gamestop. God damn it.

Yeah, I really want the Iron Man looking red armor, but then I would have to go through with pre-ordering it somewhere besides Gamestop. The other armor looks kind of badass though.

Wow, that looks way different than earlier footage of the game. The HUD's way simpler and more elegant, and I really like how the new closer camera angle puts you closer to the action. Another thing I noticed is that whoever was playing that demo didn't use the power wheel once, even though they clearly were at least switching ammo types a few times. Hopefully that means there's an easy way to cycle through those if you want to just play it like a straight shooter. Although I can't even imagine going through ME without using all the abilities, even as a soldier.

honestly in the first one i didnt like marine girl or science girl, I'd rather hook up with Tali. She just seemed more interesting. Wish more was developed on her, marine girl was a horrible racist, and science girl was just ditzy space blonde. Tali on the other hand, I dunno just seemed more interesting, huge technical/engineering background, her race is a mix of BSG, the blue aliens from Daft Punk "discovery" music video, and several other influences that I cant think of right now (alcoholic limitations) plus she was trying to find something to either fight the geth or help her people. Way more could have been developed with her being that you were fighting the geth.

I notice nobody's mentioned dude man (Kaiden?). I played a woman (like I always do), and he was clearly a vaguely okay choice. Not a good choice, mind, but a vaguely okay one. |

Hopefully those are for Soldiers only, or at least for classes with some combat specialty. It was kind of a bummer that pure Soldiers had very little going for them in comparison with other classes beyond Immunity. |

The nice bit there though is that well, Immunity basically did what it sounds like it does. Chaining Immune periods together with Adrenaline Rush was ridiculous. Never really found soldiers to actually be at a disadvantage in practice, even if Infiltrator is probably my preferred class.

It's not that they were at a disadvantage, they just didn't have as many cool unique abilities as the other classes. Giving them exclusive use of the heavy weapons would do a bit better job of making them 'feel' different and more interesting. I'm still importing my pure Soldier, for sure, but I hope I've got some new stuff to play with.

The first time I played through, I didn't notice anything else than the possibility of a male pure solider. So that's how I roll. Not having all gun skills from day 1 would've been a bummer.

First play-through was female soldier, paragon. Second play-through (still working on it) is male biotic, renegade. Pretty interesting to see all the different story options.

My first playthrough was a male Paragon soldier, second was a male Renegade adept. My third playthrough was a female infiltrator, whose alignment I hadn't quite decided yet, but I didn't get very far in that playthrough or my NG+ of the soldier before getting distracted and finally putting the game down. I do want to go back and finish those before the second game comes out though.

Biotics are definitely a ton of fun, but I think I'll import my soldier first because I'm always a goody two-shoes in RPGs by default and so he was the one I most felt represented the way I play RPGs. That's why I want to finish his NG+ run before the sequel comes out, so I can establish definitively what my choices were.
The game comes out on January 26th, which means we have 2 months and 23 days, or 85 days if you want to get really specific.

2 months and some weeks. If you're going to play Dragon Age I advise you get an acceptable playthrough of ME out of the way first - you might not have time to get one done once you've finished DA. |

I did a female infiltrator mostly paragon and a male biotic who was pretty strongly renegade. I want do do a third playthrough with a character that I will be able to stand looking at for that many hours (there were slight things in the female that just made her look slightly odd and the male is hilarious, so I'll play with him at some point).
