    Re: Mass Effect 2

    New game + means you can start a new game with a character that has already gone through the game before.

    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. :)

        I'd bet the farm that they've been greatly improved. Bioware knows that it was pretty much unanimous amongst players that most of the side quests were repetitive, unimaginative dreck. They won't drop the ball in this area again.

        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.

          it is unrealistic to expect this to be as deep as Dragon Age?

            I think it has a very strong chance to be as good as DAO, but for different reasons. The cinematic style, coupled with the fully voiced mandated PC protagonist, reduces the amount of depth possible. It would be too costly to try and create as many side quests/sub plots with every line spoken by Shepard having to be voiced.

            As someone who can equally enjoy both of these styles of RPG's, I'm ecstatic beyond belief that I'm going to get another Bioware masterpiece so soon after DAO.

              I'm so pumped for this. ME1 was arguably the best game this gen to me. I thought it was so damn cool...add to that - for some reason if you live in a cold-climate winter area, science fiction is just so heightened imo. It's snowy and colt outside and you're inside exploring the galaxy. I don't know how to explain it, but winter is prime science fiction time, I remember playing the first while it was miserable outside and it def added to it.

                    You can share a code that lets you share your Shepard's appearance with everyone else so the people who like making celebrities can make one and then let everyone look at it and those people can edit each character.
                    Thanks - I'm glad we had a chance to get it in, I love this feature.

                    Basically the new character creation system keeps your old appearances as they were and is totally additive, so if you want to change your features you'll have the full gamut of new sliders and features to play with. And Share with the community should you choose to!

                    Also, the ID will show up in the Squad Screen so you can share it later with your friends after you have created your character.

                      So Fired up for this. ME was basically my favorite game on the next gen machines. Can't wait for this game to drop.

                        Already looks better than what was available in ME 1.

                        I had max paragon AND renegade,left Wrex in the cidatel and didn't have a love intrest. Wonder how all that will work out with the transfer. Seems they've only touched on things being one or the other so far but all that is in between.

                            Do you have anything more on character creation/customization, J?

                              Only other thing I saw was a video on YouTube that shows some different faces but I don't remember the name. It wasn't really anything special.

                                I posted it a few pages back if it's the German one.

                                I would guess 25-30 hours without sidequests. Though you're not going to get a favorable ending that way from what's been said.
