I had a roommate who played Mass Effect, and its combination of controlling allies and conversation menus didn't much interest me. I don't like video game RPGs much at all, and while Mass Effect isn't quite Skyrim, it's enough like it to bore me.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-10820930449429248662012-11-19T17:29:11.362-04:002012-11-19T17:29:11.362-04:00Curious as to your decision not to play Mass Effec...Curious as to your decision not to play Mass Effect. Is it a time thing, or does the scenario just not appeal?<br /><br />I played as Female Shepard, which resulted in one of the freshest gaming experiences ever, where the fact that the lead was female was almost completely irrelevent. Which was great.

Tech powers are essentially just the 22nd century equivalent of superscience; PDAs made of hard light constructs, used to create anything from electonic warfare in computer systems to outright regular warfare (combat drones.)<br /><br />Basically he's playing Sharl again, but with technomancy instead of regular ol' sorcery. And I mean that. the powers really are just swapped in name only.<br /><br />It's gonna be fun-on-a-bun!idiotbrigadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03077080129041184948noreply@blogger.com
