Yeah I can't see it being that much of a benefit to be honest. The lack of equipment (especially armour) and nerfing/deletion of talents from ME1 means all characters are pretty much in the same boat, regardless of which class they are....  [Read More]

what is this? 'lost dialogue?'Not so much "lost", just legacy interjections for party members like Legion and Tali in early parts of the game where you don't normally have them available. As stoffe said earlier, obviously at some point in d...  [Read More]

I could deal with all the rest, but lack of ability to actively talk set me off. That's the price you pay for having fully voiced PC dialogue. They aren't going to pay the two PC voice actors 10s of thousands of dollars in wages (on top of all the ot...  [Read More]
