It's nice to see familiar environments in it (Normandy, Citadel), although I'd like to figure out how to see the whole Presidium, rather than just the Councillor's balcony bit...

The recruitable characters are very cool, but not so much when you meet them... The Convict I was hoping would be a properly sick fucker who you'd constantly need to keep an eye on, and the Krogan warlord guy doesn't seem anywhere near as interesting as Wrex (my favourite character from the first game). The Archangel likewise, I had a feeling it would be Garrus. He's received a bit of haunted backstory, but he's essentially a standard tightarse extreme justice type.

It's a very good sequel so far though.

Mordin is the fuckin Win, same with Legion.
