Indeed, very much like a film in that you perceive it from the third person. I can assume that will happen with my Neuromancer remake, but I'm thinking that on account that Case has essentially been without a cyberdeck for so long, he'll need to exercise his abilities to see if he still has what it takes- if not then he has to relearn all of it. (this is a great way to implement a SKIP TUTORIAL button- Bethesda please LISTEN!/rant) eventually the user catches up to the character's level of understanding in the world, Mass effect did that well- I was mostly thinking the Eden Prime scene that goes over my head where Shepard goes on about the protheans. (only to later repeat the exact same line over and over.. but by the second time its already sunk in.. so no need to keep saying it!)
It was kinda cool though being able to customize Shepard's background as well as understanding of the situation he/she was in. I like to play it fairly neutral- though bending towards a peaceful Renegade rather than ruthless.. mainly because I disliked how the Council handed things.. (very funny to cut them off mid transmission
) Wasn't being racist at all.. just think they're a bunch of idiots that don't do enough, hence relying on Specters in the first place and turning a blind eye assuming all is good.
I definitely love how the game ends and allows us to transfer our characters onto the next adventure.. I'm DEFINITELY going to use that idea because I love this idea of character progression as the game advances into it sequels. You're not exactly cut off entirely from Shepard though Jonas, he/she is still your avatar to some degree- it becomes very apparent midway through the game where you can being making decisions that effect how the world perceives Shepard. (Though its not global enough- and thats the flaw I didn't like about the game. No matter how renegade I got, people still didn't care.. they trusted me knowing what my reputation was like.)
