Just got Mass Effect 2...

...I'm barely an hour in, but holy crap what an opening!

It's been ages since I played an RPG. How does this one work? Is it the typical class stuff?

There are three main classes, Soldier, Engineer, Adept. Soldier is geared for out and out fighting, Engineers are your hacking/unlocking class, and Adepts are mages in all but name. There are a further three classes which are a combination of two of the three main classes. Each of them requires a different skill set, and each is different enough from the other that each playthrough is different. At least, that was the case with ME1.

Just finished the main story, 37 hours in four days...damn you Bioware, you stole my life!

Anyway, great game. It's so vast an improvement on the first in so many ways that it seems almost churlish to nitpick. I'd love to rave on and on about it, but I guess that'd be kinda pointless; afterall, I know 360 owners here are rarer than rocking horse poo. Suffice to it, it's one of the best games I've ever played and knocks Dragon Age: Origins (which was tied for my favourite game last year) into a pointy hat.

Awesome.

Now, to play it again...

Are the sex scenes better or are they gone altogether?

You only get about one second of bare ass, anyway, and it's not like it's gonna make your mass erect.

Hello, Indigo Prophecy.

I didn't really like the human romance interest this time around, so I got funky with Tali. There was no nudity at all, you just see her jump on you on bed, and her trademask mask (which she can die without) on the floor.

In any case, that was less cringe worthy than the stiffly animated sex in Dragon Age.

....There's sex in Dragon Age?

...Ofcourse there is, Sex sells. XD

If you play as a dwarf, I heard you can get a gay scene.

That's like, 9 hours a day Simian. Don't you have a job and partner and stuff?

Yeah, the game arrived Thursday and the other half was at work Thursday night (that is 5 to roughly 11), Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday, and I wasn't working the weekend, so I had plenty of free time.

I'm a sucker for RPGs, I always clock up silly hours in them. Hell, i spent 100+ playing Dragon Age, and ME2 is significantly better than that.
