UE3 seems to be the culprit here if previous games using it are any indication.

For a game with the size and scope of Mass Effect isn't it that surprising to see some techinical glitches?

What else could they have done, though? Mass Effect is still a more optimized experience than their previous XBOX games were. KOTOR looked and ran like shit at all times. The environments were also extremely small and divided by repeated, lengthy load screens. It was a terrible engine.Y2Kev said:

Ha ha, I'm taking mine up to my parents for the weekend. My suitcase feels like it's filled with bricks. Stupid 10lb 360 power brick.
I'm surprised at how weak the character creation is. Seemed like it would give you a lot more options. After 30 minutes trying to make a decent character, I decided to go with the default. My hero can't be fugly!
This game is going to take me forever to complete. I can't force myself to end any of the conversations until all the dialogue trees are exhausted. Between this and Rock Band, my wife isn't going to be happy with me the next few weeks.

Actually my one gigantic complaint about the dialogue is that it DOESN'T GREY OUT what you've already asked. In investigation trees this is so misleading to anyone who's ever played something like Oblivion.

I started to feel the same way...until I realized the only way to wield assault rifles is to be a soldier.Mrbob said:

Ya, random cool animations like that aren't included. I hit Y like a madman just like you while playing KOTOR. It kinda passed the time between firefights and dialog trees.

I don't really even use my skills other then Marksmen with a Pistol. I'm a freaking Infiltrator and I've been kicking ass with my pistol because I rarely get to snipe so far. Sniping is fucking awesome in this game though
Hunter D - Yeah man, the Equipment menu is so weird. Why couldn't they just have lists like any regular RPG

I am missing something? This seems to be a very common complaint but it seems real simple to me, so now I'm wondering if I'm missing something. You go to the Equipment panel in the pause menu, bring up the class of equipment you want (armor, weapon, tech, etc), choose the item in question, then press X to outfit it with special abilities.
That seems like standard inventory navigation in every game. I'm not sure how it could be further streamlined. What am I missing here? Are there deeper menu options I'm not aware of?

When did this come out?
I had a few people on my friendslist that were playing the game since yesterday (maybe even day before yesterday) pirates? or did the come out...yesterday.

Can someone help me out here. How do I make those blue hexagonal shield things I can use to take cover? Is that a biotic skill I have to learn?
Do my squad members use skill son their own or do I have to manually tell them what to do everytime? Can they heal themselves if they have first aid learned?

Problems with the inventory increase as you progress in the game. Later on, managing to keep your item count below 150 is freaking annoying. Because the game only tells you that you've reached the limit when you enter your inventory. Then you're presented with the list of new items and you have to convert them into omni gel until you're below the limit. You can't choose to drop them, so if you find a great item, enter the inventory and find out that you have to convert it into omni gel, you're out of luck.
Also, if you collect lots of low-level trash, and at a later point, want to convert it all into omni gel, it can get pretty annoying as well - not because you have to press Y for every single item, but because in the add-on screens for weapons & armor, after converting an item into omni gel, the list scrolls back to the top automatically. Since newer (and better items, i.e. those you want to keep) are listed first, you always find yourself scrolling down for minutes to convert a single item. Then do it all over again.
The inventory is really terrible, and I recommend anyone who has just started out to regularily clean out his inventory because otherwise it will become a fucking nightmare later on.
