[QUOTE="sa10kun"]Mass Effect looks cool to me. Too bad I prolly won't get the chance to play it. (unless it does come out on a ps3) I get the cool feeling I get from watching star trek TNG when I see footage of this game. It really seems to create a sense of differing species with differing cultures. Solaris, do you think that really comes through in the game?

If you spend the time to go through the dialogs and check out the codec information on the culture, then yes. But if you are the one to just trying to go through the game then no. Out of 6 different worlds in the game (other stars are just vector map with the same generic buildings for side quests), there is only 1 where you get to interact with different races. (2 human colonies and 3 uninhibited worlds). Overall, it really depends on how much reading and dialog you are willing to go through to understand different cultures.
BTW, human seems to be the only race in the game to have two genders showing up:D
Beside Asari, which is an all female race, most aliens were shown as male only beside Quarians. Guess that picky 9GB limit is having more effect on how big the world is than MS assumed.
Each race has a certain characteristic in speaking, although like human, they are not restricted to just one stereotype. In that regard, the game makes the world quite believable.
The game is not close to perfect though, UI for team management and lvling up is substandard. Buying and especially selling equipment is just downright pain in the butt. That issue aside, the world they created and all the subtle detail put into the game makes it at least on par with, if not downright better than, KoTOR. Honestly can't wait for the next episode in the series.
Aww that sounds fun. I wish I had enough money to get all 3 consoles. =(
