1. Nope. They had a flashing symbol that showed up telling you you could do a good thing or a bad thing. Thats not a skill, thats just an option.
2. BAldur`s Gate is pretty much locked into combat skills, yes, but your inteligence stat and charisma stat does affect the game. You get more conversation options if you have a high inteligence, and you get better prices with a high charisma.
3. You could get that same effect by playing multiplayer. And that one has zero to do with the SP campaign.
4. Actually alot of people were upset when ME turned more into an action game than an rpg. Most of that got aimed at ME2, though. The ending got the worst of it, but if you look around the forums abit you will find plenty of complaints about how the cutscenes took control of Shepard too much, and how that was a very bad thing.
Try playing some older crpgs and get back to us.
1. Please, It's no differnent form how it was handled in ME1. In ME1 if you did not have enough ren/par points it was grayed out. In ME2 and ME3 it was the same case with ME3 adding the effect of past action effecting if you can use it or not.(Example, on rennoch you can't save the quarian and geth no matter how hight you ren/par bar is if Tali is dead.)
2. Only in conversations with the pure combate class. Out side of that it's a pointless state for the pure combat classes,
3.Sure, so some how having a path b to an end is a bad thing. That still means I have the freedom to get to an ending the way I see fit instead of getting a sucess way and a punish way. I wonder how people would feel if they only could kill the archdemon in dragon age if the sided with the werewolves?
4.That was the complain from ME2. me3 added much of those features back in a way where the mircomanagement form ME1 was gone. Gain ability trees with varied was to use powers is an rpg feature. Add, were have a varied weapons and armor that are relivent and passive abilities.(rpg features)
The complainrt were majority for the ending for a reason. It was bad. Not not many complained about the gameplay and the rpg features.
And If I played and beat BG 1 and 2 I pretty much understand the pros and cons of the classic crpgs. I don;t need to play any more.
