...aaaand accepted :)
I have no idea what it's classed as at the moment, so if you want it changed to another one, let me know.

If you want access to another high level pawn, I won't mind you throwing a friend invite my way either.

Finished Mass Effect at the weekend.
To paraphrase slightly what I posted on RPS:
I enjoyed the main story content very much, but the side missions are so incredibly tedious that I consider Mass Effect the worst Bioware game I’ve played (for reference, the others are: Baldur’s Gate 1 + 2, Knights of the Old Republic, Jade Empire and Dragon Age Origins).
Absolutely everything associated with the Mako is utter horseshit. Targeting and shooting is flimsy and the driving is piss poor, but that’s not the worst of it. Every time you get to drive it’s either down a linear corridor (main story missions) or on barren planets barely the size of a football pitch with nothing but copypasta buildings and ‘debris’ (side content). Every single mine, every single research facility has the same bloomin’ layout. Utterly lazy, and Bioware should be ashamed of themselves for including such boring filler content in their game.

I can't remember exactly, but is it Lemmy at the moment?

Yep! He looks badass.

BTW, thinking about the fact that you can change your character and pawn's appearance reminded me that there are advantages for each size of character. Smaller characters can fit through small spaces, nip between the legs of larger monsters and have smaller hitboxes, where taller characters walk and jog faster (doesn't affect sprint speed however), have longer reach and larger hitboxes.

Granted, there isn't much benefit from the spaces you can only get to as the smallest size (a tiny bit of loot iirc) and pawns are not really able to utilize that part of it. But it is a neat touch that something simple like that is accounted for.

Random semi-related fact: in Skyrim and Oblivion, taller races move faster.
This means that High Elves have the fastest movement speed, and there's actually a small difference in speed between sexes for some races.

This month's PS+ lineup is perhaps my favourite one ever. Yakuza Kiwami, Bulletstorm, Roundabout and Burly Men At Sea are all games I've wanted to play, but not quite enough to actually pay for. Only played a bit of revolving-limousine-game Roundabout yet, but it turned out to be a lot more fun than I expected. :)
