    my brother just completed feros

    he's enjoying the game, though a colonist died through not fault of his own so he's miffed about that and he didn't want to reload the game to do that tedious stuff again

    This game, guys.

    This fucking game.

    I've played 14 hours today (maybe just 11 hours with occasional pause-screen real-life errands, but still) and I don't think I'm even out of the first 1/3 of it.
    Spoiler:

    Knowing that there's potentially so much more game left just leaves me GIDDY.

    I don't even want to know how far in I actually am. I'm just gushing here.

    Uh, got the game. Installing the game off the disk. But it's going way, way slower than downloading ME2 off steam. Like 300KB/s slow. Anyone know what's going on?

    Seriously, the new facial expressions are wonderful, the squad interactions fantastic, and I'm getting a real sense of the war and what it means by what's said and unsaid. And looking at the Galactic Readiness and realizing...we have a long way to go before we can even think about taking the fight to the Collectors Reapers.

    I love what they did with shipmate dialogues in this game. Especially evening out the difference between squadmate and non-squadmate dialogue. Dudes I take to shoot stuff with aren't the only ones with anything to say anymore. It's great.

    I was pulling it off at ~7 megs a second, someone else (Curly?) hit 11.

    Sounds like it might be a problem with either the disk or your drive.

    I think the stupid thing is downloading the game off the internet instead of out of the drive.

    Always depends on how busted things are. Flat-out broken really ought to get fixed. "Counterintuitive and kinda dumb but once someone tells you how to do it you can do it" usually isn't worth the effort to fix it, unless it's part of a large group of small bug fixes.

    The hanar diplomat plot might have some of both. It's popping up enough. :(

    What about the problem with Me1 face imports?

    Edit: I mean, assuming it's actually fixable and not a fundamental engine problem

    My guess is it's not fixable. Enough subtle changes to how our engine handles faces since ME1 that something somewhere broke.

    I mean, uh, shouldn't necessarily say this, but we went through a WEIRD period in ME3 development where every morph-head face (face made from the menu palette, not modeled from an actor) looked CRAZY, as part of upgrades to the appearance system that THEORETICALLY made it possible to have more people on the screen at once. I'd guess that's where things went south. We thought we'd gotten everything patched up, checked faces from ME2, but didn't check faces from ME1. Just a guess, though.
