Bioware promised over 32 stars and planets to explore, which sounded like a lot, especially a decade ago. To me, this advertisement was a promise each distress signal was a chance at adventure. I had to buy this game and see what all the fuss was about. and "signal lost" notifications sealed the deal. The alien was cool and the tank was cooler but for me, seeing all those stars with their S.O.S. As advertisements go, it was simple, but something about it captured my imagination. "'Dilemma' doesn't begin to describe it," the ad declared.
