The opening music makes me very happy – it’s so tranquil and zen.  I want to restore harmony to the Alliance and everyone in the Universe!  Seriously – this is not sarcastic.  It gives me a strange motivation to keep on trucking.

I’ve met Tali and taken her on as a … squader … person.

I like how many of the alien species don’t have observable lips – awesome cost cutting strategy on lip synching and it’s just … cool.

But, I’ve some more Keepers to scan.  I hope we find out more about them.

I want to jump.

Really badly.

Jumping around 3D environments is fun and a fun method of getting around in a different way.

I remember hearing a talk by Bioware where they showed some analytics on their players.  It showed that like 70% of the time was spent walking around.  I thought – OMG, I wonder what they did to fix that.  But… they were happy with the stat.

A LOT of time is spent traveling in this game – and those elevators!  If only the Protheans had mastered speeding up elevator travel!

BUT, I can now SCAN the Keepers and hopefully find out something about them.  I was VERY HAPPY that I get to do something with them and the Keeper Hunt is a great device to keep you….

…traveling…

I’m really liking the conversation system and the writing quality with the responses.

But… I’m really disappointed with the lack of interactivity.  The Citadel looks like a mall I used to hang out in as a teen.  And I REALLY wanted to talk to the insect guys, but it wasn’t until I spoke with the virtual guide that I found out they were ‘off limits’.

The hearing about Saren was a let down; why didn’t they bring the witness to testify against him?  ”Perry Mason” should be required viewing in the 22nd century.

And then there was a fight in Chora’s Den, but… the corpses mysteriously disappeared.  I was hoping to take ‘em alive for questioning.
