Default Mass Effect

Ok just picked up a preowned copy for £22 from the local games shop.

the dialogue, it always seams to "auto select" one response, am i right in thinking this is the "bare bones" way to play the game ?

i`m getting a bit sick of endless dialogue, and after 3 hours 15 mins playtime i have just got to the second planet, i feel i am wasting my time asking questions that do not need to be answered in the grand scheme of things?

ps. tried to search for the mass effect thread but google search is *****

It got a lot better after the first 3hrs, if you choose to do all side missions tho it does get very samey.

It ok, quite entertaining. However you will soon notice that every single sid emission follows exactly the same format.

Land on planet
Drive around finding either one of two types of buildings (the circular ones and the two floor ones)
Kill everything
Rinse
Repeat.

The main quest is much more varied - but far too short.

I posted ages ago that the endless cut scenes were spoiling the game play, but I was told they were just as important to the game as its an RPG??? I just stopped playing it as they were just none stop !!
