    Doing side-quests in Oblivion gave you story elements, money, items, experience points, and improved your relationships with the people of the land; whereas side-quests in Mass Effect appear to only yield money and experience points. Without intertwining the side-quests to the story and people of Mass Effect, I dont see how it can be an all around better role playing game than Oblivion.

    Based on the reviews and impressions, I'm guessing that Mass Effect will be the greatest 30 hours of RPG we've seen on the 360, but as far as longevity, I'm thinking Oblivion will still wear that crown.
    To me Oblivion became very boring and tedious. I didn't find myself feeling for any of the characters. I tried to play it twice and just couldn't get through it. I need a good story in my games.

        If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

            Is there any element of stealth in this game?

              Every other time I've had things shipped to me by UPS they have it at least by 10. My game was in Columbus and has been "out for delivery" since 7 this morning.

                  I went and bought it before work this morning, and now the day is dragging like a mother. These next several hours are going to be torturous seeing as how I'm practically counting the minutes.

                  Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.

                  Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

                          They do it because it allows everyone to call your character "Shepard", no matter whether you made them male or female...all games have had this issue with regards to creating people vs. voice acting...

                          Just picked it up and popping it in now...see you guys in a week or so

                            All the voice actors refer to Shepard by name so they couldn't have people change the last name.

                                I <3 Mass Effect.

                                I really want to know what type of decisions you guys made on some of these missions. Me? I'm a heartless bastard. Next play though, I'll be a good guy >_<
