Mass Effect 2 - Video Interview @ IncGamers

IncGamers has a developer video interview with Lead Technical Artist Adrien Cho and BioDoc Ray Muzyka on Mass Effect 2.  For those of us luddites that prefer text, a transcript is available, so here's a snip:

RM: This is as much a shooter as it is a role-playing game. But we've also really amped up the intensity of the RPG experience. You get to take control, moment to moment, of some of the decision trees and dialogue, the characterisation, the emotional depth of the characters – they're just a lot more credible, they feel a lot more alive. The uncharted worlds, the fidelity's been amped up and so has the integration of those uncharted worlds with the main story arc, so they're gonna have more of an impact on how the story progresses – even changing the end of the game depending on what optional content you do.

AC: I think people will be really, really surprised when they import their character from Mass 1, and find out how much of an impact on that game universe they had due to the choices they made from the first game, and seeing it unfold in their playing experience in Mass Effect 2. The choices that you make will have interesting outcomes for the characters that you're going to come across in Mass Effect 2.
