Mass Effect Preview

BioWare's official website is pointing to a preview of Mass Effect over at FragDolls.com, which is apparently based on the demo that was shown at the Game Developers Conference in March.
Great RPGs revolve around strong storyline and strong character development. BioWare's best RPGs have always had these elements and with each new project the developers challenge themselves to evolve how the characters interact with the player and one another. In Mass Effect, the dialogue is seamless and the player can determine the tone of their response with the push of a thumbstick. As a spectator I had to pay close attention to identify when the player was deciding the main character's reaction; the flow of the conversation was perfectly natural, adding a new measure of immersion to the experience.
