Mass Effect
ackblom12:
I had no interest in Mass Effect initially, though I was (and still am) very excited about Dragon Age, but that changed after the first substantial gameplay video showed up. I pre-ordered and am currently creaming myself over the possibilities for this game.
Storm Rider:
Also, I'm curious as to which class everybody's planning on playing? The three 'pure' classes are soldier, engineer, and adept. Soldier is obviously the combat-heavy class, the only ones that can use all weapon types and wear heavy armor. Engineer specializes in tech stuff: hacking security systems, disrupting enemy weapons, and repairing stuff. Adept is the 'mage' class, for the lack of a better term, they specialize in the 'biotic powers' that serve as the game's spells. There are also three hybrid classes, that combine two skill sets but don't the the highest, most powerful skills of either set they combine, and those are Infiltrators (soldier and engineer), Vanguard (soldier and adept), and Sentinel (engineer and adept). Personally, I'm leaning towards Vanguard, because I like using magic in my RPGs but I also like being able to dish out the hurt when I want to. Providing heavy equipment doesn't impede skill usage, I think that's what I'm going to go with.
Johnny C:
I'll probably go with Infiltrator. That was my approach in Deus Ex, anyways.
dennis:
The dialogue seems rather painful. It also sounds like they haven't done much environmental post-processing on it either, so it all sounds pretty flat. Of course, there's still a month of dev time left, so maybe they'll put it in?
KvP:
Game Informer (who always seem to get early exclusives for this sort of thing) gives it a 9.75 out of 10. The excerpts from the review that I've seen (since taken down due to copyright infringement) seem to be high on hyperbole, which might be earned or might not be. so if you're mistrustful of big game media (and there isn't much reason not to be, in this case) your expectations will probably stay the way they were before.
