Got my copy of the game. Not playing it until Wednesday though.

My fish all died. Heh... I don't know how often you have to feed them to keep them going... I was sad...

After a bit, someone *might* offer to feed your fish while you're out saving the galaxy. My first set died too. Sucked going into my room and seeing floating fish.

I wanted to wear the Dragon Age armor but its buffs weren't as good as I could get with stock armor + upgrades.

I still went with the DA theme, with a dark metallic red color with the second set of white accents (the ones that basically cover the top of your chest). I also used the headgear that increases headshot damage, leaving most of my head visible.

How did you use Dragon Age armor and different headgear? I don't even have an option once I pick Blood Dragon armor set.

I think he means he just colored his normal amor in a similar fashion?

And really, did Tali just tell her drone to "Go for the optics!" -- ??? I love all the Minsc and Boo references.

Yeah, I basically colored my normal armor in DA colors. Obviously not the real thing, but it kept me alive better than the Dragon armor would have.

Yeah. There's a lot of subtle things in this game. I had to turn around at the game shop, just to listen to the dude.
"You want to trade in 2 games for a new one?" LOL...a little shot at a certain gaming shop?

Ah, I see. I was hoping you found a way to change headgear for DA and Collector armor sets. Damn.

Instead of starting a new thread for my review, I decided to try it as a blog.
Review is here.

Oh, and a quick warning for bandwidth restricted folks. There are some large-ish pics in there. I tried to make them small, but some detail was lost.
And if my review sucks, don't be afraid to tell me.

Thanks!!!

Good review, NM. Dang I'm tempted to play this game. My friend loves it and says it's the best RPG ever.

Great, they reduced the RPG elements. That's a big turn-off.

Unfortunately, they did. Take the Solider class for example. You use to be able to add points to Sniper, Shotgun, Pistol, and Assault Rifle skills. In ME2, it's been condensed to a weapon skill. Kind of sucks, but I still like ME2.

Thanks. I have more pics available, than what I used for my review. Maybe I will try to take a pic of skills, to show how they changed the RPG element in the game.
