Very Good Review, thanks for sharing.

I also loved this game very much. As to the differences between PC and Console, my understanding is that the new one is being designed with the consoles in mind, so the differences won't be quite so stark.

Yes, I am an Achievement Wh*re enough to at least start all six origin stories, though I abandoned them after getting the achievement. :)

Great review!!!

If Microsoft made the Kinect voice recognition system capable of storing player voice data on the home console, while still maintaining privacy of that data, and then giving the option of applying or even modifying and applying that data as a game protagonist's voice for that player's profile, then that could both allow many more game characters to be given a voice with a lot less time-consuming effort on the part of development teams, thus giving gamers a much more immersive experience.

A similar problem with the characters in Mass Effect II, despite the character development and interactions in that game being widely praised and award-winning, that I have a beef with is that once their loyalty quests are complete, there's not much more new conversation or other personal interaction with any of them (little tidbits of dialogue with Morden and nothing more with anyone else, besides maybe a single new conversation). The fact that Shepard is extensively voiced throughout the game is a HUGE positve for the game, making it exponentially more enjoyable than other games attempting to accomplish a similar success.

Thank you, Kevin. Not only was all of that extremely informative and helpful, it was also superb writing! It was a pleasure to read that post.

I already own the 360 version and probably won't be getting the PC version, though I may consider getting the PC version of Dragon Age II instead of the 360 version, if it matches and improves on your description of the PC version of DA:O.

I gota say your review of this game is totally unmerited and makes you look stupid obviously you dont play many RPG's do you? This game won awards for a reason HELLO!? So in my opinion as a gamer I rate you as a gamer on a scale of 1-10 a .25 =)

I enjoyed this game as well, and found the complicated story structure very exciting (and time consuming). However, I also agree with you that the character connections needed to be more tested.

I loved both Mass Effect's and can't seem to put the second down yet. This game sounds like it might be able to fill the void once I finish my current playthrough of ME2. I have the same feelings about the stiff appearance of people's hair on ME. You think that might have a bit of a factor on why so many characters in the ME universe either have no hair, or very simple hair cuts? When creating my FemShep for ME2 I remember being very disappointed with the hair options.

Honestly, I'm still a little doubtful that I'll really like this game because i have to buy it for 360. But I will try it out.

just a suggestion, maybe give a score. i feel that a score helps to put a definite cap on the review. otherwise, great review.

It's a breath of fresh air to see a well written user review around here. I'm so sick of seeing three sentence reviews around here. Nice work.

Great review! Unfortunately I could only get it for 360, my PC can't handle gaming of this magnitude :(

Why in the world are there so many views of this? AND WHY AM I LOOKING AT IT TO?

I feel like you just got away with something very dastardly.... :)
