User blog comment:Commdor/Would you play the next Mass Effect game if it is not a shooter?/@comment-65.185.166.118-20130501211441/@comment-4121017-20130503024636

In other words, throughout the Fallout series, it is very easy to min-max or powergame. In the first two games, the two traits that I would pick are Gifted and Good Natured and yes, the bonuses stack. And the tag skills? Small Guns, Speech, and Lockpick. The downside to these games? You're point-blank range on a rat with a 10mm pistol...and you missed.

That is not realism. That is not RPGy. This is just inanity. It's not letting you do things easily, it's just being a dick for the sake of being a dick.

But so do most RPGs, but at least they're a bit more balanced like, say, the Mass Effect series. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

Sorry for my ramblings, but the newer games are much better in terms of interface and gameplay.
