It was funny having to make choices as a silent protagonist. I guess it makes sense, because the captain can’t address your own unique name, but did he really have to say number one time and time again? Oh and the captain didn’t forget that I was number one. I started questioning why I was the first mate. This crew is far too friendly and knowledgeable. It was only a split second, but it was noticeable. Eyes would spawn in before the face of characters.

The rifle would disappear several times from my back and my hands. Running with a rifle clips my character’s arm through the rifle. Running into a wall only froze my animation instead of putting my character at a stand still. Having high bloom made the entire port of the bridge blindingly shimmer. On the bridge, there are a lot of glaring issues. When I told her to call me Sir it was a joke to her or maybe I’m just bad at understanding her raspy tone of voice.

I can understand thought bubbles to get your attention or in the heat of battle, but not talking with someone.īack at the academy, my tactical officer mentioned seeing whales in San Francisco Bay, but in my previous 60 hours, I wasn’t able to spot them. It seems inconsistent if not a missed opportunity. Afterward I got to talk with them each, but their dialog appeared in thought bubbles and not Oblivion style looking at their face. Maybe if I insulted them, they’d be cowardly, fearing my wrath rather than the happy crew that I got. What did my choice of speeches do? I have no idea. Then it was off to give a speech where chose to act humble before complimenting my crew.

After the first battle, I had to rearrange my keys to be more efficient for a human. I’d much rather have a controller with a trigger to shoot. This was awful having to double click to shoot an enemy. I didn’t remember the first mission at all, and I thought they had changed it around to be Klingon target practice. Do you stay and collect data while all of the jocks go fight the Borg or do you go with them to fight the Borg? Without Star Trek Online telling me things like +10 respect gained with crewman Daniels, I don’t think that the choices in flat dialog matter.
