True, but I'm already addicted to the universe, so I can't really let go.

I suppose it's always been the abundance of lore that's attracted me to most RPG games. Even if the game has lost the leveling elements characteristic of RPGs, the character is still immersed in a rich story-telling venue, albeit a more shooter-centric one.

Although I will say that the dialogue trees seemed to have taken a beating--Ouch.
