Looking like Mass Effect is not a bad thing. ME rules. If the gameplay is just as fun and characters/story just as interesting, then I'm absolutely down. That said, the NPCs are giving me cliche, overly-talkative, super annoying vibes. Hopefully that's just from the editing. After the utter failure of Starfield, a solid sci-fi RPG would be very welcome, even if it's a little derivative or overly reminiscent of its predecessors.

I'm looking forward to fighting a space bear

Maybe you'll be able to have sex with a space bear!

[-] swab148@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago

One can only hope

If I had a nickel for every RPG where I can have sex with a bear I'd have two nickels. Which isn't alot it's just weird it's happened twice.

every single bit of dialogue in that trailer sounded awful.

"I'm not just a pretty face" like, male Shepard was based off a super model, but it was never addressed in the games, they made him look rugged enough. This guy just seems like a glammed up clown.

Like a high res Sims character

I hope you can customize your character and make him ugly as hell.

but I'm back to feeling rather ambivalent about the whole thing, which to my eye looks like nothing so much as an alt-universe Mass Effect.

And that's supposed to be a bad thing?

More Mass Effect is always a win in my book.

I don't know about the game, but the book is good.

The devs are working on the game and recently they released a book from the game's world.

I really thought it would be shit, but then I saw that it was written by a known scifi author, so I thought it would be at least readable. I was pleasantly surprised and the book is actually really good.

The book in question is:

Exodus: The Archimedes Engine by Peter F. Hamilton

Oooh, written by Peter F. Hamilton, should check it out!

[-] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

His book ~~Dragonfall~~ is one of my favorite books ever.

Sorry my brain stopped working, it's called Fallen Dragon.

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

I don't think I have read that one, thanks for the recommendation!

[-] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

And as soon as I saw your comment I realized I had the title wrong, it's "Fallen Dragon".

[-] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

lol, no worries.

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Wasn't super interested until I saw it was a Hamilton book. Added it to my wishlist, will probably check it out, thanks!

Looks pretty boring.

I’ll just wait for Outer Worlds 2 to scratch my sci-fi rpg itch.

I loved Mass Effect but I ain’t so enthusiastic about what I’m seeing for now..

Clearly the main protagonist looks a bit cheesy..
