Got it on christmas, haven't had a lot of chance to play it yet but I've finally gotten back, so I'm looking forward to delving in. I've made my first character as an Engineer, but I've got big plans for my Vanguard.
I'm a little disappointed so far with the linearity. From what I'd heard, the storyline was massively branching and open-ended, but from what I've seen it looks like that was either me being misinformed, or just the usual over-exaggerated buzz. Like, when I was talking to Executor Pallin, I wanted to agree with some of his statements but the responses were limited to generic, rebellious "the government is oppressive!" and "you just hate humans!"-esque things. In a Role-Playing Game, I want to be able to choose how my character looks at things.
That said, I'm digging the universe and backstory. I got the Collector's Edition, and I've been reading the extra stuff - it's all pretty interesting. I like how it's pretty near future, and the time between then and now is all explained in believable detail.
Pity that you're limited to a human character, too (goddamn Bioware and always having bad character customisation options >=[ ) but I suppose it's pretty vital to the story that you're a human.
