Morning Discussion
by Alice O'Connor, Jan 26, 2010 1:15am PSTToday sees the North American release of Mass Effect 2 and, more importantly, the revival of an old favourite Shacknews tradition--the launch day discussion post. So please, keep your Mass Effect 2 out of Morning Discussion because people are avoiding spoilers, or perhaps live in Europe and the thought of anyone playing ME2 before Friday fills them with a furious rage.
So. Something else, then. Read any good books lately? It's not quite a book but I've been enjoying Judge Anderson: The Psi Files Volume 1, a phonebook sized collection of stories from celebrated British sci-fi comic 2000AD starring Judge Dredd's splendid psychic chum Judge Cassandra Anderson. There's a small exhibition of frequent Anderson artist Arthur Ranson's comic art at Orbital Comics near Leicester Square in London, if you're in the area and fancy seeing some rockin' pictures.

Since I'm 1.5 levels from Captain, I'm gonna finish my patrol and hopefully get some story quests at 30.
My biggest disappointment has been the lack of storyline quests, since for the first ~18 levels you seem to have 1-2 new ones per level, but in the 20s especially you only get 1-2 story missions every 2 levels. Oftentimes this means you HAVE to do explores, patrols or defends in order to get more story missions, which seems a bit lame to me.
