| Let me start by saying that, I have been playing Bioware games since early 2003.
Its clear that Bioware developers are fans of motion pictures as they try to make their games feel very much like an entertaining and emotionally involving movie.
However, you have to understand that these are games and games are better than movies. There is a reason that games were invented, its to give us world to excape into. Not just a world we can watch.
My point is, that even though the story was great in your previous games, like Kotor II, one important element was missed. The gameplay.
In this next game, I believe you have a hit as you are basically combining everything that has made other sci-fi movies succesful. And the concept art is simply stunning, the vividness of one particular concept piece (the one with the outdoor swimming pool) makes me want to help you out so that you can get this vision out to the public in the absolutely best manner possible.
Just please, remmember, include a dynamic world, one with which we can interact. Static objects are a major downer for games, remeber that you have the Xbox 360, its a powerful machine, dont put it to shame, like so many of its games are doing. I want to be able to jump when not in combat. If I have some sorts of phsycic powers (i'm not sure how dark matter powers shall work) I want to be able to use my abilities dynamically outside of combat. Like the G-gun in HL2.
PS: About PoV, I think the 3rd person view is good, maybe if you could, a third person view with a cross-arrow can be used. I'm not a big fan of the first person view.
Anyway, good luck, I dont usually post about developing games, but I have been charmed by you, and I hope you take the right path.

(PPS: almost forgot, I dont like micromanaging the team. I dont like having a team at all. Could you make it so that if we play without a team we can become more powerful, - team members than a person playing +team memebers.) otherwise I feel like I am almost forced to play with them to become as powerful as possible.
