SATAN Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 This looks like a really good RPG, and in my opinion there hasn't been a descent RPG in quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClutchPapi34 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 This game looks pretty interesting. I'm not a huge RPG fan but i might have to add this to the Christmas list. I'll wait and see what my friends say. Is there any multiplayer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highpass Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 No multiplayer, yet doesn't detract from the overall awesomeness. It's probably not going to please many shooter-only fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkthunder Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Random question: Does anyone know if the save counter gets all wacky after you hit 999 saves for the Xbox version of the game? I know people have had problems with the PC version going loopy. If I take my current character to a 3rd playthrough, I might hit that point, but I'll probably delete chunks of saves before then. Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hikido Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Most interesting is the fact that I sold this game to a friend, whom really needed/wanted it more than I, before I found out what a great game it was. I bought it, and never got around to playing it. What a shame.. Question: What are some of the flaws to said game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought it, and never got around to playing it. What a shame.. Question: What are some of the flaws to said game? Addicting? Bought Mass Effect 2 but haven't even touched that one yet. Going through 3rd playthrough and still planning more. Could conclude it's pretty fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jules the great Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 LOL look at this old thread. BTW, I ended up buying and rebuying this game so many times over the years i just decided to spend the 20 bucks and download it directly to my Harddrive, I'll probably do the same with ME2 when available. This is easily one of the best game franchises ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
