But did they really use it for Dragon Age, too? Only got the PC version, which I quickly put away after being crushed quite early in the game (guess I suck as a "gamer", but at least I was playing on "medium"...) In said PC version, I do not remember any dialog wheel. They probably replaced it by predefined 1., 2.,... answers for the sake of mouse/keyboard controls. As for QTE: I believe, the PC version of Mass Effect uses minigames (sort of like Bioshock) for decryption of container locks? IMO a much better implementation, but YMMV. Still, I am thrilled to see how my saves from ME1 will have an impact on ME2. Or not: I chose a "Jane" Shepard as my avatar and now Kaidan is all lovey-dovey about his superior officer... I'd much rather aim for Ashley, but that seems impossible with a "Jane". On the other hand, ME is no J-visual novel game, so whatever :) I really like the dialog wheel in Mass Effect (currently playing part 1 on Xbox). But did they really use it for Dragon Age, too?
