2. I was completely bored out of my mind listening to that...but I'm still excited about the game. And yes, I love how the dialogue is set up, but without knowing much about the depth of the game, that conversation was just dull.

3. So great. I can't wait for this game.

4. i had lost interest in this game for a while but however boring this clip is, it perked my interest up again.
anyone else notice that the alien looks like a blue drew berrymore? (spelling)

5. Well, I suppose any dialogue scene from an RPG is boring to just watch in video form... but applying this to the full game, it is pretty exciting. Looking forward to it.

6. Was anyone else just a bit creeped out by that? I don't know what it was, the level of detail, the wierd looking blue girl or what but I was freaked out.

7. Realistic, but a little lifeless. Still believe the game will be great though.

8. awesome - certainly rough around the edges (twitchy animations...) but leaps and bounds better than any dialogue system to date.
also, the old-school sci-fi music and presentation (stark, empty rooms) is intentional, a throwback to the 2001:ASO era. nice. adds that sense of wonder and subtle tension missing in modern sci-fi... my $.02

10. "9. i love bein @ work with headphones"
Me too...the girl that works right beside me just left...so i'm taking advantage of it. :D
Awesome...I fully understood this...reading the book (aka the prequel) helps alot with your understanding. I know who the protheans are/were, and who the geth are and why they potentially followed her.

12. That was great.. flowed like you were watching a movie

13. yeah, it flowed...like a really bad porno.
or any B movie from sci-fi channel.
the game is looking mighty fine otherwise.

14. Did you hear the music in the background. It creates the best sci-fi atmosphere that could possibly be established for the game. That is so impressive!

15. OH MY GOD!!!!!!!
This part of the game ALONE was worth paying $50 for!!!!!!!!!
The decisions you could make were LITERALLY the coolest things I have ever seen in any videogame communication system!
In all honesty, it was SO FUNNY the second half of the video has Commander Shepard making decisions that I would NEVER do in the actual game!
For crying out loud, I would have been NICE to that girl in the game. Whoever was playing Mass Effect decided to be mean to her. NOW I KNOW what I would have missed!!! And it is AWESOME!!!!!!!!
I am already IN LOVE with Mass Effect!!!!!

16. Interesting how some comments are "stiff and creepy" and others are "amazing" - I guess it depends on what your expectations of a game are. This is clearly the best dialogue system ever, but it's no Spielberg production, certainly. Here's hoping this paves the way for similar projects w/ A-list acting talent and feature director involvement... maybe Mass Effect 2 will be helmed by Riddley Scott...?

17. I'm just hoping I finish bio-shock in time for this game otherwise i'm really going to have my hands tied.

18. I want to impregnate that alien and have her give birth to my alien child by the third game. That would be next gen. Plus bioware did it in baldurs gate 2 and the expansion(arie ftw) why not this game too.

19. He's got alpha centarian fever, he's got alpha centarian fever. I'd do her. I'd tell her that the human being's preferred method of entry is through the BACKSIDE. A OOOOOOH!

20. this dude for some reason looks like he would have a creepy smile and an dialogue choice "strip"..."I've always wondered what a blue chick would look like naked"
