Gorgon

I think you're selling some of the writing short. The plot-heavy stuff was indeed dire, but the character writing had its high points. Mordin and Legion were interestingly written. Garrus, Grunt, and Samara were largely cliches, but they were well executed cliches that fit well with the overall space-opera mileu. Even some of the more minor characters managed to be memorable, like the cops you meet on the citadel in the missions for Samara and Thane. I do kindof hope Col. Tigh makes a reappearance.

ME2's strenght was in the quality of the polish, the gunfights were fun, even if cover was grotesquely misused. Other than that a space opera, awkward romancing, some small semblance of a plot, nothing worth analysing though.

Well if the auto switching is well thought out you will always be in the POV you wanted. Not likely, but possible.

So you walk everywhere with your gun drawn, even on the ship ?

Changing the animation sets for the worse in a sequel... ugh. Also, what if this means your ME2 head won't fit on there, you will forced to use the new pummeled violently with the ugly stick femshep faces. Not buying this before I have more answers.

Isn't it just that the market for drugs and therapists is larger, and following from that more people get diagnosed. The stigma associated with mental illness might even be less pronounced, which is a good thing. In other countries recieving treatment might negatively affect career chances and so on.

If you mean Shiva worshippers they mostly just get high and go into a chanting trance.

So,, the reapers are synthetic, a race of ships ?. The boss voice is from that collector general.

Their mission is to wipe out most of the population and send technology back to the stone age. The only practical way to do that would be to take prisoners, say 10.000 and wipe out the rest with conventional means. Nuke the planet, you lose the eco system.

In the US the crooks become slave labour, freeing up resources for the cops to be able to round up more slave labour.

I'd pay to avoid having to use that just based on my experience with EA DRM.

what's origin ?

Default Femshep looks hideous. I shudder to think what my own imported Femshep will look like. Exactly the same as she did in ME2 ?

It's in poor taste surely, but I mean, they are dead. If I had to chose between worrying about being peed on or being dead I know where I would land.

Problem solved by illegal magic the workings of which we will not discuss, moving on.

So far all the DLCs have installed without the need for a crack. We'll see what happens when I start the game.

Nothing ME2 related there, despite having just registered the game with the code provided by steam and being logged in. There is some free DA2 junk on offering, and that's it. Must be keyed to my old login, which is lost to the ages.

What? You download the stuff from bioware social/registered game promotions, you don't need to go anywhere near any of their stores. Or from anywhere really, it'll do the authentication automatically. I had trouble with my login information a few months back. I actually ended up calling customer support. They were fairly helpful and I was able to setup a new login with my old registered games. Not that I can see, although I think I recal they hid the DLC download secton somewhere hard to find. I see options to download patches and options to buy DLCs. Nothing to get you to a list of DLC downloads. I hope they haven't associated my email with authentication, then I'm screwed. Was a hotmail that got hacked and I can't get into it.

Doesn't sound like my cup of tea.

Predictable surely. Soldiers are just people who had lives and opinions before they joined. The prospect of combat draws certain types of individuals more than others. Queue the myth of the 1% who are natural born killers. Partially true though.

Nice to see Interpol was able to lend a hand in this man's execution. International cooperation is where it's at.

A bit gimmicky, but sure.

He's gone bat**** ?

If you don't know the difference no amount of explaining will help. It never ceases to amaze me how worked up people get about this. The difference is pretty self explanatory, now tell me why it's better. You can get your stat counting chess master kicks with or without.

what's so great about turn based. I mean aside from the nostalgia factor. Option to pause or slo mo to give orders is better IMHO.
