    My hate for KOTOR and therefore bioware, is well known on the shack. However today i picked up Mass Effect (PC) and i have to say this game is pretty stunning, it has similair faults to kotor, but its combat is far far better. I like the story aswell, its more direct. Also the cheesyness scifi elements are great.
