There... I fixed that for you.

Waaaah, ok ok, maybe I misspoke, I don't know, I didn't put it to the test, just scratch what I said and replace it with "perfect FPS/RPG hybrid" wherever applicable.I guess I would call that meter either broken or useless … since classifying Bloodlines as anything but RPG heavy pretty much misses the boat IMO.
RPG Factors: Story, Character, NPC-Interaction, Gameworld, Manipulation, Combat
Drakensang: 3, 5, 4, 3.5, 4.5, 5
RPG Score:= 4.17 => CRPG heavy
The Witcher: 5, 3, 5, 3, 4, 3
RPG Score:= 3.83 => CRPG
Geneforge 4: 5, 4, 5, 3.5, 5, 3

RPG Score:= 3.8 => CRPG
ME was the game that immersed me the most in a lot of years.
I agree that it in some ways felt like a movie, but a movie in which I were the main character and could make my touch felt.
As other have stated, we are rather starved for good, epic sci fi.
Its space man!, Space!

Drew Karpyshyn said:We have 20,000 lines of dialogue," says senior designer Drew Karpyshyn of Edmonton game developer BioWare, describing science-fiction RPG Mass Effect, set for release Nov. 20. That's the equivalent of 15 to 20 movie screenplays, created by Karpyshyn and five other writers, working with the rest of the creative team.
By the way, this is interesting: in the interview he mentions that Mass Effect 2 has about 130,000 lines of dialogue. A bit of searching revealed that the first Mass Effect was supposed to have 20,000 lines of dialogue. Really? Mass Effect 2 has 6.5 times more dialogue? Or are they pulling numbers out of their asses. If true, I'm happy (as long as the writing is good). They did mention choices with consequence and replayability.
There… I fixed that for you.
If the game is still only 30 hours long, there can't be that much more dialog per playthrough than the last game…right?
