A suitcase is generally a good start :wink:



Yeah. But Mass Effect focuses on stuff besides cybernetics, and Deus Ex hasn't so far. I dunno, the gameplay is just bad. And I can't get over how similar it is to the start of ME2

Well, the morality of human augmentation is the/a central plot point for deus ex. I won't go into too many details since you haven't finished it yet.

Well, I couldn't comment on gameplay, never having played it.

True, they did both kill/almost kill the hero right at the start. But rebuilding people is an old, old plot.

I guess I just see it as focusing on a different area than MA2. Maybe you'll change your mind after seeing more of the plot:dontknow: How far is it you've got, anyway?

Getting there slowly!

Thanks - I think I'll try that :smile: it's just things like winter jackets and heels and everything take up so much room!


Glad to hear it :tongue: When do you leave?

Yeah, I imagine they would.

I just don't see that as a strong enough plot in it's own right.

I know.

I'm only on the second mission or something, I'll play more before I give an overall judgement, but so far I'm really not finding it interesting.

hmm, ok. I guess I just find the notion of augmentations more interesting than you do:smile:

It's gonna be difficult, like, storage wise in halls.

I said it's not a strong plot in it's own right, not that it wasn't interesting.

Aye, that's probably true. Have you seen your accomodation already?

Ahem?:tongue:

I'm really not sure what the difference between a strong plot and an interesting one is.

The second quote was aimed at the gameplay, which is mindnumbingly dull so far :tongue:

Well, there's the uderlying plots in ME1 such as Kaiden and the L2 implants - they're interesting, but would be a weakplot in their own right, for example.
Just realised I know 37 digits of Pi by memory...


What the heck Hollz... :erm: :ashamed2:

Ah, right ok. What is it about the gameplay? I can't really get a sense of it from watching.

As I recall, that plot was very short...

I don't know, I'm not sure I could summarise the plots for either MA or deus ex. Well, I could, but only in a way that makes both sound bad:tongue:

I think I have an uncle who memorised them to something like a hundred. never gone beyond 5, myself though.

I dunno, it's just not enjoyable for some reason. I don't know what it is about it though.

It was a for instance.

ME seems to have more underlying and side plots, which is the key thing.

Wow! He has dedication to the number :cool: it's pretty pointless, to be honest, but my goal would be 50 :colone: so many people make me recite it if they don't believe me...

Thanks for the reassurance! :biggrin:

I saw one of the halls when I went to the open day last year, but not my halls specifically, which sucks! :nope:

fair enough. often the way it is.

If side plots are your thing, there are more later on. I'm not sure how many compared to MA, but certainly more than the first couple of levels. I think some are hard to find, though.
