It’s kind of sad that one of the greatest video game series is on hold for now.
Conspiracy theories, multiple ways of solving a mission, game lore hidden in computer inboxes…
Are there any (pre-2010) games that gave you the same feeling or do a similar thing?

    I thought it reviewed badly? Or is it one of those games that bombs on release and then it grows on people?

      It reviewed badly, but there’s actually a gem of a game hiding in there. A lot of the gameplay feels clunky, but the RPG aspects are really well done (it’s Obsidian, they’re kind of good at that). It’s a spy game that lets you decide whether you’re James Bond, Jason Bourne, or Jack Bauer, and really respects those choices in the way the story plays out.

      I gave it a shot because Bioware, but I didn’t stick with it because dialog choices are timed. I can see why, I think, but I was being picky and put it down for the moment.
