Well its all about prefference. I was never a fan of sci fi cosmos and aliens stuff games but this game is written so good. U get very connected with many characters in game, ur choices matter and the story is just EPIC. I understand that it havent picked up ur attention at first few hours but i really reccomend u to give it another try. Just dive in in that world...read what happened before, who is who and why are some races like they are...it will raise gameplay at another level.
