Interview with Keith David, Lance Henriksen, and Marina Sirtis

Marina Sirtis is still totally doable.

IGN has a bunch of stuff about ME on their site but I'm out.
I'm not reading anymore about it until it comes out reviews, achievements lists, podcasts(which is annoying as I like the three red lights podcast from IGN) articles ect.

I want it to be totally new, unspoiled which I mostly am, apart from the wrex storyline from E3.


happy

Then of course in the third reconciliation of the
last of the Meketrex supplicants they chose a
newform for him, that of a Sloar. Many Shubs
and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the
depths of the Sloar that day I can tell you.

I read the achievement list and it is the least spoilerific one I've ever seen, and contains only a few fairly cryptic story progression achievements.

Anyone else watch GameHead last night on Spike TV? They had a bunch of interviews with Drs Rat & Greg, CAsey Hudson, and Drew K. Plus, they aired a brand new Trailer. BioWare is going to have an extended cut of this up on Tuesday.

Excuse me, please don't mind the stinking mess on my chair, as I just **at myself after watching that trailer.

Keith David > Jesus.

With all these "AAA" titles dropping over these next three weeks, I can say right now that Hard Decision-Time™ is fast approaching:

Games, or sex?

Then again, I think we can probably do both at the same time, with a little planning.

Heads up: certain K-Marts are selling Mass Effect early in the US today, apparently, by mistake.

I just got the last copy at my local one.

Grab 'em if you can.

What? That's not fair, all our local K-Marts have been long gone for some time. The nearest one is 3 hours way. plain

Damn. Looks like Ima have to wait.

But, if you get the chance, could ya tell us how the gameplay is? happy

Yeah, this was mentioned on BioWare's boards. They got in touch with the offending stores and had them pull it ASAP, but a bunch were sold. Doubt something like that would happen here in Edmonton.

So here's what I've decided to go on for my first game:

Male, using the default face but maybe with a scar added (at this point I can't picture Sheppard as anything but the default). Play through as a Paragon the first time to open as many conversational branches as I can. Probably play as a Vanguard.




2nd time through I'll play as a Jack Bauer-style Renegade male, possibly an infiltrator. I'll pick a new face for this one.

3rd time through will be a paragon female, probably a vanguard but maybe a sentinal.

4th time through will be a female renegade (alien lesbian sex, w00t). This time will be a sentinal if I didn't play as one last time.


Man, just over a week to go! I'm picking it up Tuesday afternoon after work, and I'm off the next day so I can play it for like 36 hours straight!

Yeah. I can see how the local Muzyka Mafia would tend to..."discourage"...stuff like that in your area, Karrde. thinking

Yeah, the only ones getting it early here will be BioWare employees. And while I'm still hopeful that the cousin of the guy I work with will be able to get some LCEs, I've pretty much accepted the fact that I'll just be getting the regular version from EB Games.

I think this will be an awesome game, but I have a hard time picturing myself playing through it more than 1 and 1/2 times. With Obilivion I would just rather play one character and perhaps experiment a bit with a few others. Of course I guess if I ever get Shirvering Isles I might make a new character, and who knows what I will do in the future. At least in the near term I can't see myself spending more than 150 hours on it.
