Oh the autodialogue shite.. one of the worst additions in me3...

I'm losing my rp connection with my character... the addition was not a very sound business plan...

I wouldn't say they lied or disguised it. They are still role playing games with choices. It's just a lot more linear.

 

There were several occasions in ME1 were all three options on the dialogue wheel would lead to the same line from Shepard and the same response from the dialogue's participant(s). There was one choice being presented as three.

 

 

Generally though ME1 and 2 reguarly ask what you want Shepard to say but there is very little possible change in what Shepard says. ME3 cuts down on the formality of asking but also makes the lack of choice more obvious.

 

Of course offering choice to the player is a horrendous nightmare for the developer, so it is understandable.

oh... i didnt know that. I've only played me1 3 times and the second one was just a revamp of the first one on a different system....

that.... that's sorta crappy. understandable but crappy. is it because they had more characters to cover (squad and important ship-NPCs) so the word limit was stretched thin?

The word count got increased by a lot from game to game to accommodate for all of the companions. I think they were just trying to do something different, which wasn't needed but developers tend to think change is good.

Okay I can't remember where I heard that stated as technical fact, but there are a few conversations I can't find any variance in. Anderson's debrief after Eden Pride is the one I always remember.

 

ME1 was the first game with a fully voiced protagonist, which I think put a strain on the budget at the time. But there's also a design consideration which is that Shepard doesn't appear to be written with much flexibility beyond their actions.

Progress is good, developers should never be content.

Progress, yes. Change, not always.

true, i can see where the change into a voiced protagonist must've made things complicated.
