Wait, achievements? Isn't that an Xbox Live thing? No such thing on the PC afaik. In fact, when I played it I didn't see anything about any achievements anywhere.

There are achievements in the PC version, nothing to do with Live.

I have to say my only gripe is that the characters so far seem to lack the depth that the KOTOR characters had. I mean it seems like anything you want to know about them just instantly comes out. Nothing like clues that there may be more to the story, they just tell you all or their 4 minute story and that's that. Or so it seems so far. Do they get a bit more in depth with each character's background or are they just as they are?

I hope so. I've read something about talking to the crew after every mission to progress the romance-subplot, so I would guess that they only fill you in on their general background in the begining.

Yes, you have to talk to Ashley after every story mission. Also you shouldn't volunteer her to suicide missions, but that's obvious, isn't it?

o and i love this EA crap haha | Code: | | Mass Effect was originally conceived as a trilogy, but EA has confirmed that Mass Effect "will be a franchise for [EA] for a very long time" indicating that the franchise may extend beyond the planned trilogy. The next title in the series, tentatively titled Mass Effect 2, plans to use much of the same game mechanics as the first title in the series. Not much is known yet about Mass Effect 2 – Casey Hudson, Project Director for BioWare, has said that players should keep their Mass Effect save-files, because decisions made by the player in the first game will continue to have influences on their character in the sequel. Players who have not played the first Mass Effect will start a new character in Mass Effect 2, and will be brought up to speed on the story elements that have taken place thus far in the series. |
can you imagine Mass effect 15 haha yeah way to go Bioware  they will milk it down like MoH
and this hahahaha
| Code: | As of May 28th, 2008 there is no automatic mechanism for recovering an activation. After three activations, a user will be required to call EA telephone support and convince a representative that an additional activation is warranted. Bioware employees have stated that additional activations will be provided on a case by case basis. Bioware employees have not elaborated on what circumstances will justify additional activations.
Bioware employees have indicated that when the servers at EA are offline it will be impossible to activate the game. Derick French, an employee of Bioware has stated that if EA takes the servers off line permanently then a patch will be released to remove the online activation requirement. However, neither EA nor Bioware have made any legally binding commitment to releasing such a patch. |

No way to enable AA in this game? It's running UE3 so I guess not unless it was DX10.
EDIT: This. Games. Gameplay. Is. Great. Fun!

BS and KK, better remove the post and say something about gameplay. This is not technical thread and Rinze is watching (ala Sauron's eye).

I don't think this game has a cliffhanger. But I'm not sure, haven't finished yet. COD4 had no cliffhanger.

Why does the combat seem sluggish to me? I mean the reticule doesn't shoot at the targets I intend to hit 
1 and 2 are still amazing.

Just finished it - fucking excellent. Not quite the masterpiece that Deus Ex was, but close. Definitely right under it. Can't wait to give it another play through.
That said, considering EA has its grubby fucking mitts in full on the title now - I hold out no hope for a worthy or even semi-worthy sequel. It will be milked to oblivion. It's a shame really. Guess it will go down in history as Bioware's last epic title - before they turned into corporate whores.
Ah well. I'll cherish the memories of this game for a long time to come.
I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.

The ending is not a cliffhanger. Without saying too much, it gives the same feeling Star Wars IV does - ties up the package, but still leaves room for sequels.

Yes. 150 kills with a weapon gives you a bonus skill.

My question is, if I accomplish an achievement, is it possible to achieve it again on the next runthrough, or is just just once?

AFAIK all achievments are perma unlocked once you finish them. At least some of them are obviously working this way (like the "play through twice" one would not work if they would be counted per carrier).
I like it this way. Makes my life easier once I start on the hardest difficulty.

Yeah, sure. But what about the weapon achievements. I think there's a difference between the one you mentioned and the ones for the weapons.

Yep. But achievements are from the 360 version, and AFAIK those are prema-unlocked. For completist (like me) it would be nearly impossible to unlock every one of them in one sitting. so I would assume that all achievments are unlocked for all carriers.

That's cause I reported the crap out of that idiot who was asking how to start up the game. Can't read the title of the thread, can't read the what the proper section is.
Anywho, does the combat get any better later on? It seemed a bit bland the first 20 minutes I started playing |

Yeah, sure. You advance in tech and weapons. I now use incendiary ammo VI or VII all the time - my assault rifle almost never jams. The shotgun has the explosive ammo but the shotgun is some crap, so it jams after two shots. But those shots are fucking EPIC, never met an enemy so far that could take one shot like that in the face and survive.
I PMed Rinze about the morons that couldn't read the title, I think that helped as well. People are fucking blind.
