Talk of RPGs with ugly-ass characters always makes me think of Beyond the Beyond xD and wow, I never realized they designated the "mean" comments to the bottom. Sometimes it was left and right, when it was blatant Paragon/Renegade answers, which were also designated in blue and red. But those were obvious. Guess I shoulda paid better attention. And the models mostly only look ugly in certain lightings. A lot of the game itself is played in areas where its not so bad. But it still crops up now and again. I'd say Ashley looks better than any chick in Oblivion :}

And I guess the tedium of choosing to hear a phrase I just read was padded by the fact that an entire conversation usually resulted along the lines of the original statement. So instead of choosing a line, I was directing the conversation towards a scene. Though now that you mention it, the games that let you choose whole sentences always had mute main characters. So they probably had your complaint in mind when they made the paraphrased wheel
