I don't think I'm going for the robot campaign afterall. An idea struck me today that I like entirely too much. I won't go into detail about the plot as the whole thing needs to be a surprise for various reasons

Anyways the campaign would be in the fairly near future, robots will exist but in a more limited fashion that the old plan called for. I will write up the robot template soon but they will have limited IQ to about 8 at the maximum meaning you wouldn't be able to purchase up beyond that or whatever I end up settling on. That would be due to limited processing capabilities available to us at that period of time especially with sentient artificial intelligence being a new thing. I would stick with the whole modifiable method I was thinking of before so that those who were looking forward to it could still do it if they chose to do so.

As far as other things go make a character fitting of near future capabilities (point total coming soon, thinking 75). You could be a soldier, physicist, baker, deep sea fisherman, politician, sleazy big oil executive, or whatever. Your character would have to be between the age of 18 and 40, so that means no kids and no geezers.

As far as magic goes I am still debating on that. I may end up restricting some things that I don't feel will fit in nicely with a semi-realistic setting such as Matter magic. That isn't to say I'd be banning it, perhaps just limiting certain types to a number of spheres. IF I go with magic it would be something new to the world and wouldn't be your focus in life but rather something to complement your everyday life. For example a politician or police officer might want some mind magic, a thief might want death to decay shit so he can break in easier, a soldier may want forces for obvious reasons, and a sports player may want life to replace the use of steroids.]]>

Let me reiterate how this is going to go. Strip your character of its racial template. You get 50 points with which to buy a new one from Balaur's Realm. And, you get 3 points from the last quest.]]>

I will say a few things I like about it first.

They want to have modular options, that not every group needs to use. The options sound like they'll be more about game tone, style and theme (like a light-hearted comedy game versus a grittier, deadly one) than setting, which is good.

However, they spent maybe seven minutes of the hour talking about non-combat mechanics, which they said they wanted to make important and received applause for. But they didn't really say much more than "We want to make it important."

Another thing I really disliked, that they said they wanted to make things like fireball (and implying other direct damage spells) the most powerful spells. It's not just because of Zuran that I have a distaste for that line of spells (I have always enjoyed the idea of an Illusionist but never quite got one to work out well) , but more that he said one option would be most powerful. That design philosophy is pretty much what got them into this mess in the first place.

I can't really think of anything else I want to point out, but have the rest of you heard anything more?]]>

So. I'm going to ruin the surprise. The next step in the campaign is that you find Belaur's (sp) shrine and he's going to drag you his Realm and you're going to screw around there for a while.

So, we have options. Either I can make his Realm or... we can play a short game of Dawn of Worlds and create his Realm together. I'll add a thing or two into the Dawn of Worlds system so we can make the place a little more interesting. And I'll start the Realm with strange laws anyway. But what do you think? Dawn of Worlds or no Dawn of Worlds?]]>

My comments below reflect those of me being after the Turians and Krogans missions and then returning to the citadel. A non-spoiler is that I thoroughly enjoy beating Cerberus minions to death in melee combat.

I love the DLC's Prothean squad member. His comments are just hillarious. He talks about the Salarians with disgust and it amuses me to no end because the Salarians are royally pissing me off in-game.

Former Team Members:
I pardoned Ken and Gabby and have them back on the Normandy again.
I was a bit teared up when Mordin died having found his redemption.
Thane died about how I figured he'd go out having found his redemption in the last game. This didn't have me teared up at all as I just figured it'd happen about that way.
I was pissed off that Udina got such an easy death, I wanted to beat him to death.
I was a bit pissed off when I learned that Cerberus killed Kelly Chambers during the coup attempt.]]>
