So I finished up the main story line in Fable 3. Kind of weird game. Such a mix of juvenile and adult. And really they seemed to want to play politics but allow for no gray. I mean you lift the drink ban and then pretty much everyone is throwing up in the street drunk 24/7. Anyway due to my wealth I was able to save the kingdom and not be a tyrant. Still a lot I can do there and I'll probably hop back in to knock out some more accomplishments when I have a few here and there but in general I am done with it. Didn't buy the DLCs.
Well as I mentioned been all swords and sorcery lately(couple of months between Skyrim and Fable) so I moved on to Mass Effect. Initially a little frustrating as some things could have stood a better explanation. Played through a bit to get the hang of things and then restarted so I could do it right. Just arrived at Citadel. Had the first meeting with Udine. Off to do some discovery and maybe some odd jobs.
For you veterans should I worry about buying stuff? Some of these games you can find better than anything you can buy, is this one of them or do I need cash? So far it feels a bit like KOTOR and you didn't really need cash there, although if you had it you could get some cool stuff. With all the armor and weapons seems like cash might be good. But I have read people saying convert excess inventory to omni-gel so I'm not sure.
You will pick up a lot of stuff. That's pretty much where I got weapons and armor early on. Some stuff you may need to buy like if you can wear heavy medium or light armor. By mid game, money is pretty much a non factor with you being able to sell everything. Once you start maxing out inventory, converting to omni gel is useful because you use it to unlock doors and repair the mako (ground vehicle when on a planet).Combat isnt very good compared to modern games but the story is what drives this thing. It will be getting interesting soon.
Thanks.
I have noticed the gun play is kind of clunky. What's with the Parkinson's sniper rifle? I have never used a weapon in a game that was so all over the place. Very hard to get on target, seems to defeat the purpose. Drove the Mako a bit before the restart. The jump feature is different and I thought it was OK to drive, I have heard some folks complain about it.
I have to say it would be nice if they gave you some kind of tutorial on the whole getting around with the ship. I picked a system, I picked a planet, nothing happened. I thought "maybe they are really working this and I have to wait a bit". But no that wasn't it. Until you happen to pick a planet you can land on you don't know you need to be looking for the land option. So that led to some frustration for a bit. But like I said I think I have the controls, the getting around in space and the hacking mini-game down now so I am ready to get into it full swing.
At this point, KOTOR should be played for the story. If you've played a significant number of modern games then the gameplay in KOTOR isn't going to do it for you.
