It was in a couple places for me.. I'm running a [email protected] and an 8800GTX. Like you said, it seems to be when you are running through areas and its loading things.

Excellent game though! Although the driving parts on the planets annoyed me. Some of the planets were just far too mountainous and it made getting anywhere a chore! :mad:

Just finished the game got to level 45. What an awesome game. The story is one of the most thorough I've found for ages.

Loved every second of it

You'll be playing it through again soon Tom

I am now, as a different character, and choosing different routes to do things, it's has so much replayability!

Tom|Nbk · 13 Jul 2008 at 22:23

I'll more than likely play it through again but I will have to use my existing character. I really can't imagine Shepard being any different.

queamin · 13 Jul 2008 at 22:24

played through it twice with different toons and now playing it again with my first character lvl 52

Tom|Nbk · 13 Jul 2008 at 22:52

Think ill wait till they release the patch before I play it again. Some SLI issues and a few other little bugs I hear they're working on.

Getting ugly texture/shadows on peoples faces, usually from there nose. Nvidia 8800GT. Any solution? Maybe a setting in nvidia CP? I've disabled motion blur, didn't like that.

CliffyG · 14 Jul 2008 at 15:14

I found that with shadows too, turned them off, was the dynamic shadow option i think.

been posted before but check this

it removes some of the shadows around the face but keeps the rest which are fine.

Just finished the game there now and thought it was a great ending but couldn't help thinking that this would have been a far better game had it solely been developed for PC.

Also, is it just me or were some of the textures really bad in it?

benjo · 14 Jul 2008 at 17:01

There were a few really low res textures, like flooring.

Doesnt the game run on the UT3 engine?

badbob · 14 Jul 2008 at 17:04

What do people think of film grain? It looks good in the ship, or during cut-scenes, but stupid outside.

krooton · 15 Jul 2008 at 09:57

Finished it last night, level 49 soldier paragon.

Starting again on a higher difficulty with a female renegade inflitrator

Last Kronin · 17 Jul 2008 at 06:07

Just completed the game, got to lvl 50 paragon, missing 26 achievements, i think, think ill wait awhile before i start another game, was starting to get bored with the constant treking over the planets.

By the way, who here has read Mock Effect? Linky

It's rather amusing and it's safe to say that I will never be able to look at Tali again without laughing my arse off.

That's great

I'm still doing the initial worlds but enjoying it so far, the combat is much better than KOTOR which I couldn't get into.

Loosecannon · 4 Aug 2008 at 14:34

Just finished this today. Really enjoyed the game, up there with KOTOR, but I think I prefered Mass Effect.

Just seen there is now new content to download, so will have a break and then retry with a different character.

I didn't think I'd like it at first, but it grew on me a lot. Added to the atmosphere.

XPE · 4 Aug 2008 at 19:03

There seems to be a prob with the sound with the add on, the rover makes no sound when firing the guns, there is dialog missing, and its really really loud.

Also the patch seems to have wipe my config :mad:
