    Full character customization is in the demo but there's no import, just as i said. Though i heard face codes work if you've got one from the ME2 customizer.

    I like the new implementation of the biotic powers when you deploy them. Skeptical about the skill progression. I don't like how one using biotic power means they all have to recharge. (Was that in ME2? Haven't played biotic in that yet).

    Allies seem to use biotic powers well. I liked the shooting combat.

    Graphics are nice, though still low res in places. Runs well on my 2008 computer.

    Yup. ME2 also had a recharge time after using any power.

    Yeah, thanks to players like me who broke the system in ME1 biotics got heavily nerfed in me2. There is now a short global cooldown that activates on all abilities after you use a power.

    The word circling a number of online communities and comment sections are that bioware purposefully limited texture resolution and the dialogue options in the demo in order to fit to the 2gb limit microsoft puts on demos for xbox live. Other versions of the demo were apparently just ported from that code. I cannot for the life of me find the original quote though, so take it as you will.

    Tried it. Not too shabby. Combat's definitely more fluid, but I still had a couple issues sticking to walls and the like and hopping back and forth across a space when I was wanting to vault over instead. Trees seem somewhat improved- at least a bit more differentiation. Shockwave is still awful, even leveled to max. Ashley's appearance still bugging me to no end. Kinda wishing I could just leave her on earth. Didn't fiddle with grenades much, though the AI made decent enough use of them that I had to be aware of their presence. Heavy melee seemed to have a slightly weird hitbox for adept. Overall, fairly good. Good to see Wrex off his butt.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    Shockwave in ME2 was only useful against husks and abominations. Against them it was devastating. You could take down a dozen of them at range, maybe even blow up the abomination and cause even more damage.
    Against every other enemy it was pretty much useless like you say. But I'm sure ME3 has some kinds of husks :D
