Re: E3: Mass Effect Impressions
Why oh why did I look through this thread ??
I wasn't giving this game any attention and had no plans on getting it. Before right now, I didn't know much about it. After reading this guy's impressions, I will officially have this game on reserve later today when I pick up my copy of COD4.
My bank account will be taking a hard hit over the next month or two......OUCH !!!

Re: Mass Effect Pre-Release discussion
Does the book relate directly to the story in the game? I have read the 1st 4 chapters of the book and it is pretty good so far.www.simgamingnetwork.com Come join our leagues!

Re: Mass Effect Pre-Release discussion
From a Q&A with the author of the book.
Q: Is the plot in the book the same as the game, or your own variation, or seen through the eyes of another person? AND Are there any direct references to the events of the book in the game? AND Are there any things about the plot of the game in the book? AND Does the book's story relate directly to anything happening in the ME storyline? AND How does the book specifically relate to the game? AND Will there be a difference between the game and the novel?
A: The book is a prequel novel – it takes place 18 years before the events of the Mass Effect game. The book deals with several of the characters that you will meet in Mass Effect – such as Captain Anderson and Saren – but tells its own unique, stand-alone story. However, there will be several elements that are common to both the book and the game: details of the setting and historical events of the Mass Effect universe, as well as background information on the emergence of humanity and background information on characters like Saren, Captain Anderson and the relationship between them. These elements will help flesh out or deepen the back story of the game, though both the game and the novel tell stories that stand on their own.Q: How much more will I be able to pull out of the game, especially if I am playing for content, If I have read the book before playing. If I had played the game, then read the book, and then played through the game again would I be feeling a sense of "Wow now I understand that." or "The plot is a lot deeper now."
A: I tried to write the book so that people playing the game will come across things they recognize from the novel and achieve a deeper understanding of them. Instead of just being told “X doesn’t like Y,” you’ll know what happened to breed that hatred. Instead of being told “technology Z does this,” you’ll know WHY the technology developed as it did and why it can or cannot do something. Similarly, if we mention historical incidents or figures in passing during the game, players familiar with the novel will say “Hey – I know what they’re talking about. I saw what actually happened!” However, none of these elements are critical to understanding the story of the game. The novel just adds an extra layer of depth to what we present in the game, especially when it comes to background details about characters or the Mass Effect universe.Go Noles!!! >>----->Comment

More from Che. He's going to post some more lengthy impressions today now that he's 18 hours into the game.

LOLThe characters are really good in this game too. I've already become attached to 2 of my characters, and because I'm playing a female character, I've already had one of my male Biotic engineers hit on me during one conversation. It was... uh, awkward.Go Noles!!! >>----->Comment
