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.
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 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

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

I’m looking forward to fighting a space bear
Maybe you’ll be able to have sex with a space bear!
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.
Looks pretty boring.
I’ll just wait for Outer Worlds 2 to scratch my sci-fi rpg itch.
And that’s supposed to be a bad thing?
More Mass Effect is always a win in my book.
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…

Oooh, written by Peter F. Hamilton, should check it out!
His book
Dragonfallis one of my favorite books ever.Sorry my brain stopped working, it’s called Fallen Dragon.
I don’t think I have read that one, thanks for the recommendation!
And as soon as I saw your comment I realized I had the title wrong, it’s “Fallen Dragon”.
lol, no worries.
Wasn’t super interested until I saw it was a Hamilton book. Added it to my wishlist, will probably check it out, thanks!
