Mass Effect PC Developer Diary #2

Keeping thing rollin' tonight, the guys over at Demiurge Studios have whipped up a new developer diary regarding their work on the upcoming PC port of BioWare's hit RPG, Mass Effect. This latest installment focuses on the revamped HUD and how it'll make life easier in tactical situations. Here's a little snippet:

So we took on the task of being able to give commands to your squadmates separately. Mass Effect PC replaces the Power and Weapon wheels of yore with the sleek, elegant Tactics HUD. The Tactics HUD allows the player to pause the action and quickly make tactical decisions for their team. The player can switch weapons and cast abilities with a few quick clicks, and then get on their way. Even better, players can now select orders from each teammate's orders palette. Bam. Ashley's gunning dudes down and Liara's running to safety.

These new individual squad commands sound like they'll add some nice depth to battles. Can't wait to see it in action! :D
