    that's what I think too.

    Like... how not bright? Like... not just spilling amazing info all the time? Or just a normal dude?

    heh this made me think of WoW and how every male voice is the same guy. Nothing like hearing a couple of characters all having a conversation in the same voice.

    I feel like I have to be missing something, because playing that demo was one of the worst gaming experiences of my life (like, I would rate it somewhat better than Superman 64). I really couldn't possibly describe it as "fun" in any way, and can't imagine anyone enjoying playing the game.

    Maybe it's a WoW thing where the demo is fucking awful but the game isn't so bad?

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    A) Yeah, it does. Race isn't necessarily what the play is about.

    B) You're conflating the actor and the role. You might as well complain that Kenneth Branagh isn't really a prince of Denmark.

    I used to like the ground combat, but now that I'm at Lt. 11 I realize it's just really tedious.

    Honestly the only thing that saves the space combat, aside from the novelty, is that it's pretty and hell of fun with friends.

    I liked the space combat, but it didn't knock my socks off or anything; it was basically the ground combat, but in space.

    Also, there's just a huge fucking learning curve, and it seemed like the only thing to differentiate my character from other characters was one piece of gear.

    Yeah race is the vehicle for the plot. Iago couldn't have betrayed Othello if Othello wasn't already an outsider.

    Your analogy is terrible.

    Yeah, I was pretty frustrated with this point as well, but then I ended up playing with Mazzyx, who is a Captain, and he was just like building turrets and drones and making shields and shit.

    I hope the Science officer gets as much of a chance to stand out down the line. Otherwise I'm really gonna have to re-roll.

    Ah so we're doing "O" or one of any other reiterations of Othello, not the actual play. Othellos race is a central part of the story, not some nit picking detail.
