Mass Effect features 20,000 lines of dialog :-
| Quote: |
We've come a long way from the days when "INSERT COIN" and "GAME OVER" might comprise a game's entire script; even today's most button-mashy of action games are expected to offer something resembling a compelling storyline. The poster-genre for the game writer's task is the role-playing game, in which players must inhabit a character and make story decisions that branch the plot along multiple lines. Dialogue is king ... and there's plenty of it.
"We have 20,000 lines of dialogue," says senior designer Drew Karpyshyn of Edmonton game developer BioWare, describing science-fiction RPG Mass Effect, set for release Nov. 20. That's the equivalent of 15 to 20 movie screenplays, created by Karpyshyn and five other writers, working with the rest of the creative team. (The new Simpsons Game enlisted the TV show's writers to come up with 8,000 lines – a full season's worth.) |

I haven't gotten into a RPG since FF7, I mainly stick to action RPG's if any. |

Mass Effect 'is' an action RPG...  |

First person action RPG, technically.
The Final Fantasy's and most strategy RPG's are usually 'Turn Based' |

| I tried to reserve this one today, but they said it's been locked, so they must've gotten too many reserves. Still, I reserved UT3 and will probably pick up both at the same time. |

I've preordered mine today, but with this and R&C and Assassins Creed/Uncharted/UT3 soon it's going to be a busy end of year for me... 
And I've still got NWN2 to finish... , I haven't done too bad though, I reckon I've beat an easy 20+ games so far this year (and for the first time in a long time...) most of them console games, nothing on PC this year has interested me unfortunately apart from Portal.
