I'm in the middle of a trilogy replay at the moment, and my reintroduction to Mass Effect 2's emails has got me thinking.

 

What if, as a means of supplementing the regular dialogue trees, we had some kind of email exchange/instant messaging system? Essentially, take the emails from ME2, maybe pare them down a bit to better fit an instant, text-based communication format, and give us an array of potential responses along the lines of what we generally get out of the ordinary dialogue trees. It'd be a simple, cost-effective way to add more dialogue and character interaction to the game , as there'd be no need for voice or animation work.

 

To be absolutely clear, I am in no sense suggesting that this should supplant, or come at the expense of, the animated and voiced conversations we've come to expect from BioWare, and Mass Effect in particular. I love talking to characters - it's pretty much what drew me to RPGs in the first place - and the more of that sort of thing we get, the happier I'll be. This'd just be a means of adding even more character interaction and dialogue to the game than we might otherwise have had.

 

So... Whadda ya think, I guess?

'I know this is difficult, but I think we've both realised that this whole thing just isn't working out. I'm going travelling - a long, long way away - for work, and we're just not gonna have the time to see each other any more. We had a good run, but it's time to end things.

 

Anyways, hope that whole Reaper War thing works out for you!

We could have the same for multiplayer. Be able to send each other extranet emails for invites and things without leaving the game.

No need to get your knickers in a knot..

 

In fact it is a good idea for more cost efficient dialogue. It's just that some things are better off  in person.

Well you can always order some orange juice. 

[wolfsite]

So the E-mail system from Alpha Protocol essentially.... which is a great game by the way everyone should play it.

I'd completely forgotten Alpha Protocol let you respond to some of the emails! Yeah, that's pretty much exactly it, except I was thinking it might be a good idea to go for an instant messaging-esque format. That way, it'd be more like an in-person conversation than an exchange of letters, and you'd have more options to choose between.

 

I wish more devs would borrow ideas from Alpha Protocol. It did so much interesting stuff with the genre, even with all the jank. Once I'm done with my trilogy replay, I think I'm gonna have to give it another playthrough.
