cyranoI started ME today. (I'm an Earther, a war hero, and a sniper.) I think I'm enjoying it more than DA at this point. The military model means that yes, I'm on rails, but I don't mind it as much. It feels more like "you have objectives to accomplish" rather than "go now do this thing". We met the geth, and I'm very pleased that there was a reason for the Vlad Dracul Portable Disposal kits aside from "it shows that we're evil". The cannon fodder caught me by surprise. I like the dial-a-conversation style of interaction a lot. And yay for computer assisted aiming!
I'm having trouble getting used to the interface, and I have no idea if I'm switching weapons or not. (EDIT: It looks like I switch weapons briefly and then go back to the pistol.) And I'm losing random bits of dialogue. No one character, and it seems to happen until the camera angle changes. I've had scenes where I could hear one character's lines but not the other's. Makes me sad. And, unfortunately, the strongest character so far has been Pvt. Fodder.

Date: 2012-01-08 03:36 pm (UTC)The interface took me a while to get used to (and you'll have to adjust again in ME2, which drove me crazy at first, but then about halfway through I got used to it and now have a hard time going back haha).
The convo wheel is something they use throughout ME and improve on exponentially in DA2, IMO. FULLY VOICED PROTAGONIST FTW.
I can/would flail at you more, but I'd rather do it in IM than LJ comment. :)
