I’ve been very happily playing Mass Effect 2 for days now, and I’m enjoying it though I wish I could occasionally solve a problem with words rather than guns as in DA. 

I’m especially enjoying the times on the ship when I can run around and talk with the crew.  They need more personal interactions however.

Another thing they need is that sense of a small, isolated and tight knit community finding solace and entertainment together.  One of my favorite things from original Trek were the scenes in the Rec room with Spock playing his harp and Uhura singing, and folks playing chess, etc.  (Then we got Next Gen and the stupid Holo deck where people went to play with themselves in splendid isolation, but that’s a post for another day.)

Anyway, I would like to see interaction with the other crew members that focuses on games or making music together, or eating meals together.  It would add to that sense of an entire world, and deepen the relationships with the team members and crew.  I’ve got a feeling that Joker has the future version of a clavinova and is busting out with his coverage version of the most popular music.  I know my version of Shepard can sing.

Or maybe I’ve just been watching too much GLEE.  🙂
