    She'll probably actually be tolerable in the game.

    She's close enough to my facetious idea for a recruitable biotic serial killer for me to want to give her a chance.

    Wait, how does 1/3rd of a swimsuit provide the same protection as full body armor plus helmet plus forcefields? Is the actual armor just for show?

    Well, I would assume that if you're going to be fighting people with guns you would want to not die the second your magic tattoo shields fail.

    I hope we see a return of Wrex as leader of new Krogan nation, Garrus recently elevated to Specter status and Liara running around a lab somewhere remote. Depending on choices of course.

    I just hope "She's exactly what I'm looking for" is just a dialogue option, and that there is a "Hey...I'm going to go stand over there. Away from her, whilst not offering her a job"option at that point as well.

    That might depend if Space Ritalin is as easy to get as Medi-gel was...

    I did the Tower manually last night, just for S's and G's, and I'll tell you, it's just as quick as pressing the 100 omni-gel button.

    All right, I'll admit that's pretty good.

    I hate the direction ME2 and Dragon Age are going, but I suppose I'll just have to acknowledge that some things just aren't for me and let people have their fun. Less RPG goodness, more money saved I guess.

    'Darker and Edgier' is an epithet.

    I looked at "Dark and Edgier" as the current buzzword among game developers.

    Just like the word "Immersion" was a few years ago.

    Though I can't wait for a game that's so dark and so edgy, that you can't see anything but there is danger everywhere(in the way of pointy objects).

    Ow. I tried to back down, okay?

    Nintendo's going after their blue ocean, Bioware's going after their red ocean, and here I am back on the beach, glaring and throwing coconuts at errant swimmers.

    I myself have a theory that the Big Bang occurred when Wrex's quads collided with Miranda's chest.

    Don't think that's what being shown in the marketing stuff as the full extent of the game.

    They're trying to sell the game to people who aren't already sold on Bioware games and showing bits like this is just one way of doing it.

    Plus a lot of the other stuff is really boring to watch.
    Endless dialogue trees are like golf, some people might like to watch it, but it puts the vast majority of people asleep unless they're actually playing the game themselves.

    If we count in the Clint Eastwood Salarian and your two starting partners, that leaves us, according to that list, with 3 as of yet unmentioned party NPCs. Any takers on what it's gonna be?

    Shouldn't it be 4 people we don't know about yet?

    Subject Zero, Thane, and Grunt have had character videos. Tits McGee and the other guy from the demo make 5. Clint Eastwood makes 6, and there are a total of 10 slots in the roster we've seen. Is there someone else I'm forgetting?
