The writing? Even with an hour - and half of that actually doing the social chat thing - it's too early to really make a call. If there's a problem, it's less with the words or the voice-acting, but the relatively stiff characters as they deliver them. I remember the sheer wonder when I first played Vampire: Bloodlines, with characters who'd actually act like. well, actors. That we're years on, and only Mass Effect in the RPG has really raised the stakes at all is somewhat depressing.
Oh - and there seems to be more conversation options than Oblivion too. There's a lot of the classic three (Nice Guy/Mercenary Guy/Cunt), but alternates turned up too. Perhaps predictably with my like of slutting my way through RPGs, I picked the Lady's Man perk which was soon put to work on a working girl. To get extra information. A little extra information I like to call (Sex).
Actually, just extra information.
