    But the thing I dislike about this game is that there's no save/load function: once you've made a bad choice you can't go back and replay, which sucks.



    EDIT: I just found out that Mass Effect comes with SecuRom, which pretty much killed my interest in the game. </3 Oh well.

    Thumbs up Re: Role-playing games

    I went there earlier this year. Awesome city, not to hard to get around even if you only speak English.

    Has plenty of different types of food. Malay, Indian and Chinese plus food courts/ shopping malls that aren't out of place in Sydney.

    Traffic during rush hour is umm 'interesting'.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    I tried out Oblivion yesterday. I was gonna save it for the weekend, but I couldn't resist. And lawdy, based on first impressions (I had gotten out of the sewers and walked around for a bit), it's an awesome game. Some aspects are a handful to master at first, but hot damn. The only downer for me is the lag, even when I'm playing on low texture and the lowest resolution (640 x 480 I think). I think I can look forward to many sleepless nights. <3

    Actually another minor quibble is the character creation process-- adjusting the appearance is just way too complicated. With a million sliders and no idea what to do, I spent quite some time trying to make a face that didn't look so much like a pig. Custom faces are nice, but they should also have included some pre-mades as well, as the randomiser sucks spectacularly at making faces. Of course, that's a pretty minor issue, since we don't really see the face in-game all that much.

    I usually stick with default settings for shape and turn age down to a minimum. Trust me, your character will look a LOT better than what it shows on the character creation screen. You're just looking at a very zoomed-in perspective. You really need to just look at the character from the inventory screen in-game for the best view.

    If all else fails, mod the hell out of it.
