I like it, I don't like the cost. It's the principle of the thing. If I had bought the game in a store I would have gotten 1200 EA money free, I bought it on steam, , and got nothing, the included redemption code is 'already used' as if I had bought the game second hand. On top of that they Taylor the DCL cost so you are invariably 50 points off and will have to buy more than you need., the total for the DLCs with any any content in them short of new gear is 2450 EA money. That comes to half and again what I payed for the game. Insane. I'm considering getting them anyway, how much is in them ?

I feel for you. I gave up when the Join the Order quest broke irreversibly. Been looking at DLCs for Mass Effect 2. Getting all of them will cost more than the price of the game, and they are in the order of 'A gun', 'a suit of Armor', 'an extra companion.' etc. Captain we have interned rip off space, constrain the crew to quarters.

Did I mention Karl Urban. *Mentions Karl Urban*

I picked the sniper for the extra weapon option. Too bad there is rarely anything to use it for, I shoot it from the hip mostly. I wish the zoom had a toggle.

I tried hardcore mode, unfortunately you take so much damage that it's even more critical that you remain behind cover the whole time.

My bad. I confused Veteran with Normal. I meant to say that the game is supposedly balanced around the level of difficulty where regular mooks don't have shields/barriers. That would be Normal, I think. And yeah, I don't think *anyone* liked the heavy-handed approach they took wrt biotics and protections, to me it's just lazy design. Among the many changes I've tried is removing the "shields block powers" rule and the game feels genuinely more fun to play as an Adept. Enemies still have a ton of health and hit pretty hard, but stuff like Pull Field is crazy OP, and YMIR/Prime minibosses become a joke. Agreed. I think that the rock/paper/scissor approach they took is fundamentally sound (probably mostly because I would play Sentinels even if it wasn't there), but somehow they failed to adapt the adept (no pun intended - well, maybe a little bit) to this system. Also, when you discover the pleasures of squad incendiary/inferno ammo, the game starts feeling like it was balanced for veteran/hardcore. I took the difficulty just above normal, that' usually the way to go. I'm not impressed by how the duck punishes you for moving forward. Usually it's duck, shoot, wait until they stop spawning, if not you risk getting overwhelmed. I only noticed them actively trying to flank me once or twice, and that was always after the rest of the team were dead. I think the combat might have worked a great deal better if you were soloing

I don't know what you are referring to, but unless he's a wife beater or a sex offender, in my eyes that doesn't hurt his image. So, he's an **** and makes no apologies, Boo ****ing hoo. I'm sick of this goody-goody make nice guilt-flavored syrup being forced down my throat with everything. And regarding his extreme weight changes, I'm betting he's healthier than most people who lead a sedentary life and eat trash. If only because he's got enough money to hire people who know how far he can push himself while doing that. Didn't he smack up his own sister, and there was that tape of him going ape**** on a sound man. It was like one of those 'You will never work in this town again' moments, like out of a bad movie. Hilarious really, but It sorta gave the impression that he is more strung out and full of himself than the default setting for an actor.

The journal is a mess. It doesn't sort quests by order received or by completed status. Also the codex should have drop down cards, did you want to read that entry. Press the card instead of just receiving another alphabetical entry you are never gonna look for again. It's quite addictive though. I felt at home when I noticed colonel Thy had a small role as a lowly procurement officer. Deep pockets at Bioware apparently.

I'm playing as an Adept and I have 4 or 5 force power options which are all attacks. Why not make one a speed burst, one a shield buff, one a cloak.. etc. Disappointing. I know you can combine them, but it's kinda hard to do with my cooldown still so long.

I think I'll wait until there is more new content. I know the game pretty much by heart by now.

How much is released in a week or so. A DLC and a patch or more than one DLC ?

Dude, just answer your door. I wouldn't but that's because right now the place looks pretty disgusting, I haven't bothered cleaning up from last weeks get-together. I am a pig, yes, but I get very self conscious about it. I should probably clean up right about now.

I didn't need to know that.

It's been a while, so my memory might be faulty. Can't you drag/assign them to number keys? I'm pretty sure you can. Though much of the interface got dumbed down for the PC sequel, I think they left that alone. But whomever decided to remove keyboard shortcuts to your codex or you quest log is an idiot. One thing I'm kinda disappointed about. I don't intend to play through this game 6 times, one for every class, and I want force powers, sniper rifles, grenades, cloak, the works, but I can't have it. The leveling trees seem pretty limited for all classes.

Yeah I found it. So what good are the light side / dark side points ?

CDTS are only once an hour now, pure luxury.

I discovered last night that the mostest awesomest weapon is the lowly (upgraded) lazer rifle. I took out the nest of deathclaws on the other side of the river with it. It shoots like a machine gun but every shot is on target.

Damn

I'll admit I have no idea whats going on. One thing though. Why do I have to chose a 6 second force power from a drop down menu every time I want to use it. That's not very convenient.

Ohh and I've got Seth Green for a pilot, I keep expecting to see Brian and Stewie when I turn around.

I like Martin Sheen as the illusive man, everything looks very nice, good production values, and there are too many invisible barriers and shoehorning in the level design. After playing FONW one can't help but be disappointed in the lack of interaction with the world. I'm not saying you should always be able to build a Taj Mahal out of Sarsaparilla Crates, but it helps.

I just got Mass Effect 2, since I heard this was the good one, gonna see what all the fuss is about.

Only time it happened to me was due to a lot of friendly fire. I ran away and after about 10 mins he came back and was 'green' again.

I dunno if that's method acting or lunacy. You can damage your organs by deliberately starving yourself like that.

I don't know that there is any substitute for the ability to sit down and do the work. My experience with classroom teaching on the receiving end has almost universally been that it was a distraction, that I could have gotten much further if all that time had been spent actually studying, maybe with the exception of early stages of primary school. Sometimes you luck into a small class of highly motivated students and a talented teacher that can push you to go further, doesn't happen often though.
