Mass Effect Thoughts

[Typhoid]

I posted this on one of Dyne's facebook notes, so I'll re-post it here, aswell:

"I'll say this about the game - I haven't played it - but I watched my friend play it for a while the other day, and I thought it was really cool at first. Aside from the fact your character runs like a pansy with a tampon up his ass and rose petals for feet. I like the fact you can say what you want - and it matters on charm and forcefulness.

However, I don't like the huge amount of politics in the game. My friend was on a planet, and everyone was his friend. He was helping kill things. He opened a door he apparently wasn't supposed to, and everyone started shooting him. The game then took a turn for the worse, and then the planet exploded - causing his game to end. His previous save point (I don't know if the game is autosave, manual, or there are actual save locations - so I don't know if it's bad game design or player fault) was 3 hours previous to where he was when he died. That frustrated even me, to no end."
