I DID enjoy the game, but having a game of this depth means there is an even greater amount of things for the developers to fuck up - which with so much to create they inevitably do.
You didn't miss much with the sidequests though Yahtzee. Basically they follow this pattern: 1. Go to planet on the other side of the galaxy to where you currently are
2. Land buggy
3. Struggle to drive it
4. Finally find the blip on the map that means the mission
5. Shoot people/Geth/people-Geth/other things in usually the same reused bunker
6. Collect your reward from someone on the Citadel who is at one of the points furthest away from the spaceport

I didn't know that bruce campbell bit thingy. But this is a good way to show to cater to the fans huh?
anyway, this one is very funny, especially the less conversationg song of elvis. Great job.

Hard to believe Mass Effect comes to us from the same company that brought us Baldur's Gate and (indirectly) all of those other great Infinity engine games like Torment. Sigh...Annonchinil said:
Well Yahtzee may have named him Titty Shepard, but i named my dude Dick Shepard. Pretty funny meaning if you think about it.
When Yahtzee said "And less skinny underdressed girls claiming to be men", he showed three JRPG characters, to the very right Tidus from FF10, anyne know who the other two girl-guys were?
In regards of dialogue, a lot of dialouge is bad. If the dialogue is good, it can make up for it to a certain degree, but the ebst dialogues squeeze a lot of meaning and fun into very little words, my fav (though not a rpg) in this regard is "Sacrifice".

Hated KOTOR, but everyone was ejaculating over their controllers for this game and telling me to join in the circle jerk and get it. I figure with this review, and my disdain for the long drawn out Bioware RPG games that accomplishes nothing ,I can steer clear of it.
so thank you charismatic stallion for helping me avoid another shitty game.

Took ya 6 hours to figure out weapon mods? Dang Yahtzee...sorry man...guess these games really aren't your forte. Mass Effect was easily game of the year, the dialogue is interesting, because the characters are interesting and I can makes the story and relationships progress however I want, which is ecpecially fun with the Krogan.
Sidequests really are the meat and potatoes, one mission has you going to Earth's moon and fighting floating death droids. On that note, combat for me is smooth as silk and tactics are paramount, mixing special abilities with weapons specialties (picked infiltrator job class) makes the game fun and thought provoking.
Ashley Williams...thought I recognized that name from somewhere.
Seriously though...6 hours?! Go to your equipped weapon and hit 'X'...seriously.
