Yeah, they really "Joss Whedon"d the dialog. Nothing is serious, and everything is a joke.An entire game composed of "Uh, yeah, that just happened" dialogue.
I actually made a list of the horrible dialog from the first hour or two of the game (which is when things are going horribly for your mission and you're fighting for your life):
- *killer lightning everywhere*: "Weather's still crappy"
- "what's that sound?" "Alien gods of the underworld?" "But who built it?" "Alien gods!"
- *rocks are floating on the planet you're on* "Rocks shouldn't float!"
- "I didn't know you were Biotic." "Don't worry it's not contagious"
- "these guys don't look happy, maybe because I shot him in the face!"
- "What happened?" "To who?" "It's 'to Whom' and your goddamn father."
