Sure it would, considering Renegade is just Chaotic Evil/Stupid half the time and especially in ME1. For example, Shepards shooting three unarmed people that surrendered and needlessly causing the death of two others. And my favourite, shoving a pistol in the face of a clearly mentally unstable but otherwise harmless man. Heck, five minutes into the game SHepard knocks out a rambling scientist and threatens farmers with her gun. The funny thing is that this behaviour is perfectly in line with Shepard's "Earthborn" background, where Shepard is basically a thug from the streets that made it into the army.

I was initially impressed as well, until I discovered Ashley and Kaiden have exactly the same dialogue during that scene. I bet it's the same with Wrex and whatever Krogan is put in his place if he's dead. The worst is that Shepard is forced to act like a complete wuss on Horizon and just take it when Ashley/Kaiden are griping, with not even a chance for a Renegade interrupt. If BioWare had guts, there would've been an option to kill those idiots right then and there.

Yes, on x360 and ps3. I thought Origin was only required for multiplayer? I believe they are moving to the same model as Steamworks. I know Kingdoms of Amalur requires Origin to be running. On the positive side, Origin is pretty unobtrusive, and even seems less resource hungry than Steam. Wasn't it that you need to activate it over Origin and then you can play without, but you need Origin running for MP? Can anyone confirm this? After authorizing the game via Origin, can I remove that crap from my pc and still play the single-player?

Dialogue animations are still way over the top, they're exactly like the ones in Divinity 2.

The personal edition is very rare. Didn't it come with a card game and soundtrack as well? Actually, the soundtrack was very good, it's a pity it wasn't included in retail (same with Divinity 2). Last retail game I got that came with a soundtrack was Risen.

I'll have to look at my ME2 saves because I don't even remember whether Kaiden or Ashley are alive in my Paragon Shepard playthrough. Apparantly Kaiden/Ashley became Spectres and also outrank Shepard (at least Kaiden, IIRC Ashely was just a NCO in ME1), they'll have to be taken down a notch quickly.

So can the single-player be played without Origin at all?

So that is what happens when someone fuses the X-files and Twin Peaks main theme.

Ripping off Space Above & Beyond can't be a bad thing, considering how obscure and unknown that series is.

It's a good thing Newton's laws don't apply in Mass Effect universe, or Shepard would've shot herself into orbit.

"This isn't about strategy or tactics, this is about survival" I love Renegade Shepard.

Looks good, but kinda disappointing that the Reapers have gone from invulnerable space gods in ME1 to mooks that can be blown apart in one shot. Maybe I'm wrong, though, and that thing at the end of the video is not a Reaper?

I still remember the outrage when Belgian paratroopers (the elite of the elite) pissed on Somalis in '90 or '91. That was before the military was pussified, and Belgian UN soldiers just let themselves be macheted by those nice Hutus in '94.

If there truly was a gaming god, this Kickstarter success would convince Neal Hallford and Brian Moriarty to try and make sequels to Betrayal and Krondor and Loom, respectively. After more almost 20 years, though, who in their right mind would still bother. I finished a replay of Betrayal at Krondor last weekend, still an amazingly fun game to play. I'll move to Betrayal in Antara, and while it's a nice game as well, it just isn't the same.

Adam Adamowicz, prime concept artist of Fallout 3 and who also worked on Skyrim, has passed away.

Why couldn't Tim Schafer get publisher support? Did Br

Less then a chance of Shepard dying in ME2 (which there was a chance, but since it's LESS than that)... Err...No? The won't have a chance? According to the leak, though, it is possible for , which counts as a failure. I'll do anything in my power to reach that ending with my Renegade Shepard.

I wish those ranged and magic finishers were in the game. Impaling and lobbing off heads with my melee Orc never gets old. Though rather than have them trigger randomly, they should've used an adrenaline system of sorts, like Dark Messiah. Fill the adrenaline bar and you can instakill an enemy with a finisher.

Will the Reapers even have a chance of winning this time around if Shepard wastes too much time?

I'd pay only for Full Throttle 2, Loom 2 and The Longest Journey 2.

I'd donate maybe for an oldschool RPG, but for an adventure game? More than sixty adventure games alone are slated for release this year so far, not bad for a supposedly dead niche genre.

People needed buffs in NWN2?

Shepard is the dumbest video game protagonist ever, eclipsing even Serious Sam and Duke Nukem. Shepard's sadly even dumber than Roger Wilco and doesn't even get the chicks to compensate.
